    rear springs, and helper spring ?

    I have Northwest Off Road rear springs with the over load leaf on the bottom. I feel that it limits the rear flex and they snag debris when going through mud and water. I have never gotten hung up on them, but I think that sooner or later I will. I would go without the over load leaf and find...

    Time to resurrect the 86 4runner

    The 3RZ is becoming a very popular swap because it has more potential than the 22RE. But, the easiest would be to build the 22RE. It does respond well to the cylinder heads with oversized valves, a header with a 2 1/4 exhaust (all the way back) and oversized throttle body with a ported intake...

    School me on Tow Hitch Wiring Connectors

    No, this would cross wire the brakes and turn signals and that would be bad. I think that I understand what your problem was. Many vehicles use the brake lights for the turn signals, so the 4 pin trailer connector works for these vehicles. One wire for ground, one wire for running lights...

    my trailer build

    Your trailer looks great. It will squat a little when it is loaded, but not much. I have not weighed what I have carried, but my trailer seems to be at almost the same height as when it is empty. These trailers can carry more weight than what the data tag says they are rated for.

    91 FJ80 for sale w/ bumpers/sliders/snorkel/35's Re-Listing

    Metalmaverick, I just talked to someone yesterday about the C4C program. It states, that the vehicle has to be certified "Destroyed" in order for you to get your incentive. That is not recycled, as in parts going to others that would use them to keep their Land Cruisers running. It means...
