    One Year Cost of Ownership - 2007 Landcruiser

    I have installed 3 inch spacer lifts on two Tundras and a 5th gen 4Runner and never installed a diff drop. I have logged many thousands of miles on those vehicles with no problems. The guys at ACC disagree with you that a diff drop is needed. The increase in lift is not as much as what I got...

    One Year Cost of Ownership - 2007 Landcruiser

    What exactly did I do improperly? It was purchased from SLEE, installed by a reputable shop, and used as prescribed by SLEE. I am just relaying for buyers to beware if they have a truck with a lot of miles on the CVs. I am hopeful the SLEE override will now serve my purposes until the AHC...

    One Year Cost of Ownership - 2007 Landcruiser

    I'm totall happy with ACC doing my work. I can do my own oil changes, I just choose not to. I started with them to do all my basic maintenance that I didn't want/couldn't do myself and while it was there the oil would get changed. I wouldn't drive the 300 miles round trip otherwise. I won't...

    Vent rattle - Under Steering Wheel

    The tech that put in my AHC over-ride found the spot with the bolt missing. I told him it rattled intermittently, and that putting upward pressure on the vent made it go away. My guess is something around that vent is metallic under the plastic shroud. Its a very "tinny" sound. He also...

    Vent rattle - Under Steering Wheel

    My trip to ACC Garage Friday solved the mystery. I had them look for the culprit as they were installing the AHC override switch. Turns out there was a bolt missing under the panel. New bolt. No rattle. All is right in the world now!!!

    Vent rattle - Under Steering Wheel

    I have a very annoying rattle coming from the vent that is under the steering wheel. It does not always rattle. I cannot seem to track down what it might be. I have however found that if I put pressure on the vent with my and it goes away. Anyone have any ideas?

    Heating a standard tent

    Ive never needed a heater in my tent either. I've been comfortable in my Wiggys bag down to 15deg with little to no clothing. It sounds crazy but it works. I do sleep on a closed cell mat and thermarest neo-air. Great combo. I do like to eat a good meal before bed to keep the engine burning on...

I had a long list of things to be done when I got there. After a couple different conversions throughout the...
