I wanted to post some pictures and observations of my GGM tire carrier install I completed this weekend. Original thread below in the Vendors' section if you haven't seen this new product yet. This is the first step to someday installing a sub-tank...
Can someone tell me what's going on here? I'd been having trouble with my winch/remote operating, and on further inspection noticed one of the pins on the solenoid box is deeper than the rest. See the pic below - the 'female' pin on the bottom of the picture is sunken deeper than the others...
Hi everyone...for those of you who don't participate in the 80 Series forum, I wanted to link my trip report. In June, I drove my Land Cruiser from Arizona up to Alaska and back. I've enjoyed being a part of Copper State Cruisers and met some of you at the meetups, most recently at Camelback...
Hello all - I recently returned from an 4 week, 8,800 mile trip from Arizona to the Arctic Circle and back. I want to share how my 80 series did, but as I write this I realize I've never done a proper introduction. So here goes:
My name is Scott and I am a 28- year old living in Arizona. I...
Well, I drove my 80 over 7,000 miles in the month of June (Alaska and back) and one of my tires has started to bulge. I have decided to replace the whole set and change tire size while I'm at it. Minus the damaged tire, here is what I have, all BFG KO's purchased in December 2010. Must pick up...
UPDATED 5/5/2016: FREE front bumper with winch mount to CSC Members! I gotta move soon, so help me find this a home by next week so I don't have to toss it! Pick up in Tucson.

I recently installed an ARB front bumper, so I'm looking to sell my...
Is there still a market for these in the 4-Runner world? Anyway, I have a set stock springs from when I did my lift. They have 138,000 mi on them with the expected sag, but are in good shape. Free to anyone in CSC that can use them as long as you take all 4!
I'm in Tucson but come up to...
I thinking about finally getting a set of sliders while the Metal Tech sale is going on. See the post from the 80s Forum:

I spoke with Metal Tech and I'm planning to get my set shipped to a YRC Trucking...
Last night I was hit by a Honda Civic while parked. He was rolling at about 2 mph and hit the the passenger side fender, just behind the mudflap. I was fortunate in that the fender flare was not hit, and neither was the door. However, the impact creased the fender just enough that it prevents...
Do you feel that a stock (unlocked) 80 would have enough traction and clearance to make it without trouble? Or would I be in over my head? One rating I saw listed this trail as easier than Box Canyon, which is a little hard to believe.
I'd hate to make it most of the way and then have to...
Hi,
I am considering installing a pair of fog/driving lights on my '97 TLC. Should I simply tap into the fuse box for power or is there a better and safer way? Thanks for any help you can provide.
