      Make sure it’s not a scam. Read this page. It has the compressed and extended lengths of shocks in mm. 1 in = 25.4 mm https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/official-dobinsons-lexus-gx470-thread-all-parts-specs-and-options.1266355/

      Oh here’s the long travel video

      You are very intent on going long travel LCAs? I know DK and TC are long travel. Long travel LCAs are not required to run 35s as far as I know. You could get standard length LCAs from Toyota/Lexus. Tinkerers Adventure on YouTube has a video...

      Drop down table is Bison Gear. That drop down table is great for quick lunch/coffee stops.

      I love the lightweight backpacking gear. When I was a scoutmaster for my sons Boy Scouts troop back in the day, I purchased a lot of lightweight backpacking gear for our long term backpacking trip into mountains behind mammoth lakes. I could...

      Yeah…the price for the snowpeak entry IGT (which includes the flat burner) is what keeping me from buying. I just like the fact that there’s a ton of accessories that fit into that table. I already use a 24x48 folding table that sits like 18”...

      Keeping it simple…I’ve been eyeing the Snow Peak IGT table and flat stove. It allows you to sit down on you favorite low chair and cook while sitting down. Snow Peak has a whole system, but I’m warming up to the Snow Peak IGT starter kit.

      Okay…I confirmed that my reman cv axles are in fact Toyota oem. I just don’t know how many miles they had in them prior to rebooting them. I’m hoping mine are the real deal and last me a while

      That’s sucks on the reman ones from Toyota. I have my reman ones from Toyota sitting in storage for when I’m ready to install. This story doesn’t give me confidence! I hope it’s an 80% chance they are a good reman from Toyota!

      If you Google the Toyota oem part number 43430-60082 or the Toyota reman part number 43430-60082-84, you still find dealers selling either the new or reman part. Not sure what’s going on…I’m guessing Toyota is making new ones again, so the...

      Wow. Economies of scale! Although, two GXes is not quite a big scale

      Looking good as new. I’m eager to find out if your cheap UCAs hold up. The area of concern is the ball joint and bushings. Keep an eye on those

      When I gifted my son my 1996 FZJ80 to go to college, I did slee front bumper, rock sliders, and engine skid plate. Rear had full factory tow bar that protected the rear pretty good. 2” OME lift. Removed collision insurance to lower premiums and...

      Find the TEMS fuse under dash and remove it. I think it’s a 20A fuse. Only one fuse gets removed inside cabin. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/deleting-rear-air-bags-disabling-the-lights-that-will-eventually-come-on.913849/post-14999053

      What year? There’s differences across the years On my 2003, I only removed 3 fuses. I don’t recognize your under the dashboard fuse lid labels B. Mine was not like that. Only one fuse under the dashboard for me. Two in the engine bay.

      Spent the day running around the Eleven Point River country with my 6 year-old. Winter can be quite beautiful in the Ozarks.

      HomersCanyonero replied to the thread Rotating Spare.
      I’m not going to run a Monte Carlo simulation, but just looking at costs…the 5-tire rotation has to have too many things work out perfectly to maximize the value of 5-tires and wheels. Things that throw off the calculation: 1. You want...

      And you can find like new Jeep takeoffs on eBay or FB marketplace that are 255/75R17 for $60 for one. And FJ Steelie for another $60, so there’s ways to reduce the cost of your never rotate spare. I’ll be looking for another like-new Jeep...

      You all don’t know what it means to be poor 😂 When I was young I had to by used tires two at at time 🤣 When I got a bit older I would buy three new tires that match the never used spare and pick the best one of the old fore and use it as a spare...

      Assuming the matching aftermarket tire and wheel combo costs $500 and just the spare replaced every 8 years (2nd set), investing the $500 that matching Tire/Wheel 5 would cost, at year 0, and getting an 8% return would net $925 at Year 8. In my...

      Since I bought my tires at America's Tire, and it's not far from my house, I have them rotate all 5 for free. Sit, sip coffee, cruise ih8mud. Win-win.

      I’m on 285/70R17s and torn on going up to 285/75R17 33.9”x11.2” Someone on YouTube recently posted that the new KO3 285/70R17 measured 33.3” by 11.1” and that would be close to the size i want and it’s 3-ply sidewall and comes in c-rated at 57...

      Nice…I have a 2003 GX470 without the pesky TPMS to worry about. I have to check tire pressure the old school way…by hand!

      I’m in the same camp as @Rednexus even run a never used 255/75R17 KM with 2012 stamp (getting old) as a spare in the spare location on FJ Steelie 17x7.5 +14 offset My other 4 tires are 285/70R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers that are half worn so about...

      I don't agree with this - putting on a spare that is a slightly different size for a short period of time prior to getting a tire fixed has a very low probability of causing drivetrain damage. Both the center and F/R differentials allow for...
