    Finally a new 4R

    In case you've been living under a rock or never read anything on the internet related to cars, Toyota finally released details of the new 4Runner. I've been wondering where it would slot into the lineup with the new US Land Cruiser that's based on the same platform as the GX/Prado and sort of...

    Being a pirate is overrated

    On Friday, 2/9, I started having double vision. It had not resolved by Monday and enough people hounding me convinced me to go to the ER. So I went to Lovelace Downtown ER, got a CT scan, 2 MRIs, chest Xray, EKG, and about a gallon of blood drawn for various tests. The diagnosis is paralysis...

    2011 4Runner Trail Edition?

    My daughter has a house-sitting/pet-sitting client that recently bought a 2023 TRD Pro 4Runner and have decided to sell their 5th Gen 2011 Trail Edition 4R. I'm contemplating if I want to buy it. It has the KDSS and rear E-locker. The main thing worrying me is the 277,000 miles. I plugged in...

    Spare starter for a 2F?

    My dad is looking for a starter for a 2F. He's found some options for remans but would like to just take his apart and refurb it himself. We suspect it's just the solenoid contacts but you never know the full condition of the starter (brushes, bearings, etc) until you take it apart. But he...

    Selling reloading stuff

    Who knows about reloading? Who does it on their own? My stepmother inherited her uncle's estate when he died a few years ago. He was a gun collector and did tons of collecting of reloading stuff and there is tons of stuff, brass, cartridges, lead, projectiles, powder, molds, presses, etc...

    Front Wheel bearing replacement on 4th Gen 4R?

    Anybody ever replace the front wheel bearing on their 4th gen 4Runner (or GX470/460, or FJ Cruiser, or '05-'18 Tacoma)? In researching it, it appears that Mr. T only sells the bearing or the hub separately, but they are pressed together in their installed state. I saw some aftermarket options...

    Silverton bans OHVs

    I heard the town council banned OHV (ATV, UTV, SxS and MCs that are not street legal) from the town limits last night. Don't know that it will affect our crowd much, if any, but wondered people's opinions on it.

    Replacing rear diff in '02 4R

    I finally got the '02 4Runner that I bought a couple years ago that's been stored at my dad's place over to my house this past weekend. I also have a rear diff/3rd member I got from a salvage yard to replace the one in the 4R that I think(hope) is responsible for the groaning/droning/whining...

    Return of the small pickup?

    Perusing Car and Driver articles today I came across this: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36125131/2022-hyundai-santa-cruz-pickup-revealed/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_cdb&utm_medium=email&date=041721&utm_campaign=nl23438605 Then it recommended this article...

    Control Arm Bushings

    Looking for some recommendations from the collective wisdom of the group. While changing the oil on my '05 4R, I noticed one of the bushings on a lower control arm is cracked and falling apart. That may explain the crunching noise I hear when the suspension flexes. Can you just replace...

    Explore the Manzano Mtns - Nov 8th.

    *** Update: Let's meet at 10 at the Sedillo Hill Travel Center, right off the Sedillo exit from I-40. Stephen got information that the store opens at 10 so people can get some coffee or use the toilet if they need to before we head south. I'm thinking about leading a run to explore the...

    No more Land Cruiser in the US?

    I hope this isn't true. I guess all of us that own Land Cruisers will be seeing their values rise. Will we still get the LX and GX? https://www.yahoo.com/autos/toyota-land-cruiser-reportedly-retiring-134800142.html

    Labor Day Disappointment

    I decided that I would check out NM-165, the road that goes from the Crest road to the north, around the Sandias and then connects with Placitas and eventually to I-25. I've never driven on it before and it's close to my house. Apparently, about a million other people decided it would be a good...

    Glorieta Mesa?

    Has anyone ever done any exploring on the Glorieta Mesa. It's part of SFNF, south of I-25. I've been looking into alternatives for firewood collection since the Ojo de los Casos fire has closed the firewood collection area in the Mountainair Ranger District (north of Tajique). I think I can...

    Firewood collection

    I started to hijack Jon's thread about his recent trip to the Jemez and thought maybe I should just start a new thread. In my new house I have a Quadrafire fireplace that provides supplemental heat to the main part of the house so that I don't spend a fortune on propane with the furnace. The...

    Anybody know James Rowe in Espanola?

    I ordered a roof rack from Gamiviti in February. When I ordered it, I had planned to drive up to Denver to pick it up and have a long weekend up there with the family but travel restrictions for NM and where I work will not let me leave the state unless I want to have a 14-day quarantine and...

    Mild wheeling day trip on Friday, 4/3?

    Our Japanese exchange student is heading home early due to schools being cancelled as a result of COVID-19. He leaves Sunday. I never got a chance to take him out wheeling. I was thinking about doing some sort of mild day trip this Friday and wondered if anyone else would be interested in...

    Snow/MUD run on Monday or Tuesday?

    I'm taking vacation on Monday and Tuesday. Some friends from Tennessee are in town with their 100-series and I wanted to take them up into the Jemez. Anybody else off work and interested in joining us on Monday or Tuesday?

    Repair or replace rear differential in '02 4Runner?

    I finally got around to trying to diagnose the howling noise in that '02 4Runner a picked up several months ago. I need to get it fixed and running so that Colin has something to drive to CNM/UNM once we move to the new house in Sandia Park in January. The PO towed a trailer that was way too...
