I actually bought mine on BAT in 2018 (31K, one of the highest as the time). Problem with buying a modified rig on BAT is you really don't know if it's dialed in, or if someone is just trying to get rid of a headache.

At what point do you have enough assets and start spending money for fun?

Would you say that pricing is in-line with what you charge? I know FL and Chicago labor rates likely differ. I did reach out to a couple other shops, haven't gotten pricing back yet.

Can't bring it with you....

It's not just a swap. There's a new LS engine and new 5 speed trans+ the fabrication and misc components to make it all work. I can shop it around. This was a guy down the street that is heavy on custom fabrications. I went to him to get a rough starting price. I can't see cost being...

It is fun to drive. As long as I am not in traffic...which is everywhere. I wouldn't be modifying beyond the engine/trans. I like the stock look and prefer my vehicles as factory as they can be. In this case, the engine is woefully underpowered. The 4Runner is fun, but not as fun as my...

Looking for some opinions here. I have a pretty clean, stock FJ. I enjoy driving it, but it's lack of power is a major issue in traffic. As a result, I rarely drive the car. I have Prius's running me off the road from red lights and it's difficult to get up to speed on merges for highway...

I stumbled in there about 4 years ago when I purchased a set of take off wheels for my 4runner that the owner was selling. They seemed very knowledgable. This was before I had my 60 series and they had a few in the shop in various states of repair at the time.

I did manage to fix a couple of the leaks and changed the transfer case fluid. It was overfilled by a quart! Probably why it was being pushed out of everything. Tightened all the oil pan bolts and tightened all the coolant clamps. Drove it for a couple hours last week and it seems ok. Right...

I've been neglecting my '86 this year since there's a small coolant leak and a few oil leaks. I'd like to drop it off to someone that knows what they are doing and just get it fixed. I just don't have the time to tackle the troubleshooting. Does anyone have any recommendations in the...

What do you mean?

Finished the lift up this weekend. I had some MT tires laying around from my wranger so I went ahead and picked up another set of TRD wheels to mount them on. Will probably run the K02s on one truck and the MTs on another.

Ha. In 2006 I brought my new Tacoma Sport with temp tags still on it to Badlands. I did put some AT tires on it at least. Let me know when you are interested. I joined some local Facebook groups with my wifes facebook account...but without being on it all the time it's hard to monitor what's...

I know his forum is pretty quiet. I just ordered a little lift for my 4Runner and getting anxious to try it off-road. Any interest? Or possibly the Cliffs. Hope to have the parts here next week and thrown on over the weekend.

Picked up a '07 4R Limited the other day to add to my Toyota collection!
