    What is the Toyota SW4 Fortune (South America market)?

    I road around in a SW4 today in Southern Argentina. Didnt get to drive it but it was nice. Comfy and felt very solid. Does anyone know what the SW4 is based on? Obviously we cant have one in the states. But i always enjoy the trucks they have down here. Edit:a little google search and it looks...

    Driving part time 4WD truck in snow

    Guys sorry I already asked this in the past. I converted my 80 to part time 4wd when i was living in Georgia. Now I am in Montana and kind of wish I had the full time 4WD when driving around on snow covered roads. I grew up in the northeast and i am used to driving in the snow there. But...

    Where would you move in Montana?

    I am on my perpetual search for where to call home. Some areas are simply to expensive. You guys know the spots. Right now i am in Helena and actually really like it. Good winter weather, not much wind, nice mountains and lakes around, big enough town but smaller than Bozeman. Almost affordable...

    Are headlights different on for different years?

    I am looking for a passenger side headlight for my 94. I figured they were all the same for all the years. But is there any difference in them over the years?

    4x4 Labs custom tire carrier, Luke is the man!

    I have had a Labs rear bumper on my 80 for about 7 years now and I have to say it is simply amazing. It had held up to a crazy amount of trail abuse without more than just scratches. it has also survived getting rearended twice and nothing has moved. Thes things rock! I recently picked up a...

    TAT, any thoughts on this trail?

    For some reaaon i have been thinking doing a long trail like the Trans America Trail. Not really sure i want to but the idea keeps comming up. Any opinions of it? I would probably do it in segment which makes some logistics harder and some easier. I dont know really how i would do it but i have...

    Locking rear swingouts to secure cargo area?

    This occurred to me a frew years ago when spending a lot of time traveling and staying in some shady hotels. Some of my storage areas would be very hard to access withoul opening the rear hatch and tailgate of the 80. Mine is different than drawers but picture most drawers sliding out the rear...

    Low lift (2") but stiff springs

    I know i know, tons of info out there on springs. But my head is swimming already and a lot of stuff i can't find spring rates on. I am looking for rear springs that are around 250lb (like the OME 863) but short. About 22-22.5" at the fender flair. That is about a 2" lift. I have a 80 that...

    Anyone try the mickey thompson baja boss A/T?

    I saw these pop up the other day and i am very interested in them. They have nice deep side walls and OK lug spacing. But more importantly they are snow flake rated and have nice siping on the tread. Should work well in the winter here and be a decent A/T or hybrid as well. I also really like...

    No 315/75/16?

    I have been looking at the Mikey Thompson Baja Boss A/T and the new Toyo Open Country Trail R/T. both look very good and get very good reviews. The MT is snow flake rated and has nice siping but still has good aggressive side walls. Probably really good in the snow which is important to me. The...

    Transfercase part time question... i cant remember what mods i did.

    Back in 2019 i redid my transfercase and converted to part time using locking hubs and a tranfercase rebuild. At the time i did a lot of research and think i did it right with a true part time conversion. I got a used low milage transfercase. Dropped it off at a reputable local cruiser shop and...

    Elk mountains for stock trucks

    Just wanted to suggest the Elk Mountains as a ride for easy stock trucks. I have been exploring them on my motorcycle the laat few weeks. Miles of roads. Somewhat light use. Most are just forestry roads with camping sprinkled around. Should be easy even in a stock truck. I have been accessing...

    Help with a small welding project?

    Edit: disregard guys. I think this will be easier to just hit up a local fab shop. Let me see what they say.

    10% under transfer gears with 33". Anyone use these?

    I have 10% under drive high range gears and Marlin crawl low range gears in my transfer case. Running 315/75/16 now and gearing feels perfect. I am considering going back to 285/75 on my next set of tires. Also considering lowering the lift a bit but that is another conversation. No real reason...

    Got my 80 stuck today

    This was just comical. It is the second time I have gotten the 80 really stuck right on the side of a road. Never on a trail (knock on wood). First time I was in Georgia and pulled onto the side of the road to text. Pulled forward through what I thought was 6" of mud. Truck sunk right in to the...

    How do i was truck in the winter

    Sorry guys but kind of a dumb question. I don't care how my truck looks but I want to make sure I don't let Salt sit on the under carriage. If I wait until a day above freezing will any of the car washes be open? It looks like they are all closed lately. Obviously I am not looking to wash it at...
