I've been really happy with the duratracs in 255/75r17 as well. Also running wheels spacers for a little bit wider stance. They do get pretty noisy when worn down in my experience, but I've always had excellent traction in all weather on and off...

Daughter taking my stock 2006 4 Runner to Fort Collins in August. She wants small lift and I am thinking simple 2" lift from Cruiser outfitters. then it will likely need some all season tires to match up with the lift. Any recommendations...

I found a Gen 4 on the European - Car website that I put a $500 deposit down on before doing some background research on the seller...

First couple of pictures are pretty small so tough to get a great look at those areas. Definitely some significant road grime in a few areas. Second to last pic, looks like some of that grunge could have been painted over. Last pic looks like...

Cleaning out dad's garage, will be posting several threads over the next few days. Front doors. I think these are off a 70's era, but you all probably know better than I. Pickup near Fredericksburg, Va. Have to be somewhat flexible on pickup...

Land Cruiser lovers i am in need of your help. When i pressed on the brake pedal coming home from work one the vehicle couldn't come to a complete stop. I replaced the master cylinder, pads and rotor after making it home. 1 year ago i replaced...

New addition to the herd. No, not a cruiser, but similarly, a stout workhorse. I bought it used out of Danville, Kentucky with only 67hrs. Was garaged its whole life, since 2012. Time for it to go to work. Next week the white cruiser goes...

Just picked up this beauty 1997, its been off of the road for 9 years. As far as I know I am the third owner , interior is imaculate, exterior is decent, no accidents. It does seem to have a minor lift along with a snorkel. I have starting...

Clinton’s Last Laugh - 1990 FJ80 #968

After chuch, I decided to drain the coolant, remove the thermostat and do a flush or two on the cooling system. You know what they say about a 30 minute job? All is well until you break off a bolt. Also I found a mess. Spent all afternoon...

My (now sold) 92- miss it, sniff, sniff

Hi All I have a '92 with a 3fe, 230k miles. Mods: Desmogged 35" tires Rear locker 3" OME lift Got her set up for camping for two, aluminum roof rack, sleeping in the back - need some good mattress recs for the back area. Located on the Big...

See post here 150amp alternator I needed the extra juice to run my elec. fans, upgraded the big 3 wires while i am in there as well. AC stays cold even during stop and go traffic and idle since my elec. fan ramps up to 60% when AC is on....Temp...

Love the color combo as well but I'm a bit biased lol :cool: . Just mounted 35's to mine as well. Didn't notice a huge difference in power going from 33's but I do have everything to regear as well.

$1800? Did I read that right?

Just got the email today. Great news! We are a dealer for them (classic car shop). I’m sure this will be handy for many people doing swaps or just wanting modern functionality with stock looking gauges. These things are great and we use them in...

Fishy

For Sale: 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 New engine installed at 200K miles by A+ Japanese Auto Repair (Bay Area) Many other parts replaced over the past couple of years Runs excellent with the new engine—have taken it on countless camping trips...

Happy early birthday, Greg! I read on this forum that Warn winches have waned in quality. I am happy with ComeUp. I have the 12.5 and used it to move my skid steer’s implements while standing on it, which is made possible by the included...

It's a 40. The mighty 2F with the right carb tuned right can run like a raped ape. I run my 40 daily at 3500ft, and every weekend in the winter at 7500ft with absolutely no problem. I'm 100% sure if I was driving regularly at 10K ft it would...

What engine makes sense for you depends entirely on how you will use the truck, at what speeds and how much tolerance you have to drive at those speeds, or up steep hills at speed. I live in Tahoe at 6k ft. I wanted to be able to drive anywhere...

Have you driven it at a lower elevation to verify that is, in fact, the power problem? In other words, how does it run closer to sea level?

Ok. Still don’t look for excuse. The guys above gave good answers. Fuel injection has come along ways since I mucked mine up 30 yrs ago.

Let me be really clear my FJ is not mint at all. I was fortunate enough to find one with really low miles on it and pretty much all there. It needs body work for sure and new paint and exhaust. Like everyone these things are a labor of love...

If your 2F has decent compression (at 6500 feet, you'd like to see 115-120 psi), put AFI EFI on it. Mine pulls hard in all gears, starts great, etc. Short of towing trailers (which is sketchy behind a 90" wheelbase vehicle), I have no power...
