    Sorry if I missed it reading through this thread, but is the base platform 1/2 or 3/4?

    Water (not coolant) under intake?

    Thanks all. It has evaporated after a 150 mile trip.

    Water (not coolant) under intake?

    I'm an 80 guy. Picked up my first 100. Here's my first dumb question: Just did coolant Ts, hoses, tstat, flushed heater cores and installed new radiator. When I was flushing, I spilled a bunch of water in the valley under the intake. Most of it seemed to dissipate after idling 10 mins. Took a 10...

    Am I an idiot?

    Congrats! I was wondering whether I was an idiot as well (probably so, but for different reasons). I just picked up a 98 cruiser, rust-free, 310k miles with almost all the normal PM and repairs done. Crappy paint, but mine is going to sit in a garage in WA and get used 6-8 weeks per year. 16.4...

    Got a RTT, need a rack - Seeking Advice

    I had a steel ARB. I switched to an aluminum Frontrunneroutfitters one for lower profile and weight savings. The less weight up high the better.

    I would love to see the underside and engine compartment as well. I think you can add more in an additional post.

    Does the belt moulding serve any purpose?

    Mine's a 96 as well. This all comes to $661 at Norwalk. Anyone find a significantly better deal? Thanks

    Pop top

    So you lay down the panels that form the bed and then use the sunroof to step up into the foot of the bed? Where do you store the panels? Sweet build! I almost did this with a spare VW Westy top I had.

    Best tires for daily city driving with weekend camping and beach

    Super happy with my Cooper ST Maxx. I have about 20k on them so far. Looks like they will be good for 40-50k or so. Super quiet and durable. OK in snow for an A/T tire.

    FJ80 - FZJ80 White paint

    Does that mean if, hypothetically speaking, the paint was scrubbed with a Scotchbrite pad by a PO, It could be buffed out with polishing compound, a buffer, and some wax?

    Slower speed & increased fuel economy?

    On my over 9000 mile Alaska trip last summer I rarely exceeded 60mph. My average MPG for the trip was 15.15 mpg, fully loaded with a rooftop tent.

    15.8 mpg?

    Holy late response. Sorry. New job has kept me away. In response to Davidson, I have 255/85/16 Coopers. And an update to the milage figure: My whole Alaska trip ended up being 8972 miles. I used 592.13 gallons. That works out to 15.15 MPG. Not bad at all for a fully loaded truck with a brick...

    15.8 mpg?

    The last 3600 miles of my Alaska/BC/Yukon road trip (90% highway/ 10% dirt road) I have averaged 15.2mpg with a RTT, full armor and packed to the gills. The secret for me is low speeds, skinny tires and 60-62mph. Worst tank 14.13mpg and best tank 18.14 (tailwind for sure). Most tanks are high...

    Builds Ranchero's 80 build thread

    After seeing a cool fridge cover made of plywood at CruiseMoab, I decided to make one out of Aluminum. Now I can lash things to the top and still be able to slide the fridge out.

    Builds  Ranchero's 80 build thread

    I started this thread over at expedition portal, but thought it might be better here. I've had my 80 (1996) three years now and haven't had much to contribute for a build thread. I bought the truck from my friend John (Juane Tobascofish on MUD) who did all the good, fun, and expensive stuff and...
