    100 on Hwy ??

    Shouldn't be...mine certainly doesn't. Might want to get that checked out... I get 14 mpg on the highway regardless of how I drive (typically running around 75 mph - as low as 65). I get 10 in town regardless of how I drive. Nothing seems to actually affect this thing when it comes to...

    Headers or Catback exhaust?

    Thats not the case with *any* fluid dynamics system, here's why: Fluid can be thought of very similarly to electricity. Flow rate is amperage, pressure is voltage, and pressure drop is resistance. Basically the headers are one resistor, the cat another, the pipe from the cat to the muffler...

    Used 4.7 TRD SC

    I'm aware...just saying what those exact words show in a search....

    Used 4.7 TRD SC

    I'll have to take your word for it since a google search for those exact words only brings up the supercharger for the 4.5L - not the 4.7L...

    Used 4.7 TRD SC

    Honestly, sounds like you had unrealistic expectations. A Land Cruiser's 4.7 is 230 HP (unless you had a newer one with VVT). Everywhere I'm reading about the TRD supercharger (feel free to cite your own sources correcting me) is saying to expect 50-60 HP. That puts it firmly in the 280-300...

    100 series measured weight

    As I said, I'm flexible in my thinking - but you've hardly offered anything concrete to change my mind. No offense intended, but it sounds as though you've dug a bit too deep into your high school physics and are blowing some things out of proportion. It also sounds as though you have no...

    100 series measured weight

    Sure - when you're the one out front and there's no turning back ;) A winch is peace of mind for most people. But really, my instinct would say that the increase in moment of inertia wouldn't be noticed in the vast majority of situations facing these rigs. Not nearly as much as the static...

    100 series measured weight

    Wouldn't a front bumper with winch more than offset this?

    1998 value question

    If I were selling, I wouldn't. When I set my minimum price, that is my minimum price. You showing up with less than that doesn't suddenly make it look better. If anything it pisses me off that you wasted my time with an offer I already rejected. Don't play these games. You've been told it...

    Which truck? Is the 5 speed tranny worth it?

    The 4-speed works just fine - but from all accounts the 5-speed is noticeably better. Miles pretty much mean nothing when you're in that ballpark - its going to be all about condition and maintenance history. Personally, I'd go 99. Locker and ability to upgrade the stereo mean more to me than...

    100 series 1998-2002 vs 2003-2007

    Chicago is far more likely to have significant corrosion issues than OKC...not saying it does, just that chances are very, VERY high...

    16in Tire Sizing - Stock vs Larger

    As someone who has no desire to increase tire noise or ride harshness and once made the mistake of putting 265/75/16 E load range BFG KO's on a 1/2 ton pickup (MUCH harsher ride)... I love my BFG KO2's in 285/75/16. They are slightly louder around town - on the highway they aren't noticeable...

    help some sort of trim fell out of my sunroof

    Either or. I slid mine back and was able to do what I needed. You should be able to do the same thing tilting.

    help some sort of trim fell out of my sunroof

    This happened with mine - couldn't figure it out for the longest time. Finally figured it out. If you open your sunroof and look toward the rear of the vehicle, you'll see a thin black piece of metal. On the top side is a channel - that is where the "arrow head" goes (push it in). The flap...

    Newbie: Considering switch to 100 ser. from 11' FJC. Have a few ?s

    Nothing weak about it...it lasts at least as long as any typical suspension system does. The reason people tear it out is because it is insanely expensive when things fail (as any wear item does). It amazes me people think a simple hydraulic system designed and built by one of the most quality...
