    Widening stock wheel wells - Real Steel

    My wheel wells were trashed, so I decided to order the replacement rear pieces from real steel. They arrived after about 4 weeks, great quality stuff. Only issue... the PO saws all cuts were a little wide. I like the idea of having a little wider wheel well with the stock edge So what...

    Help me ID - 1966?

    Morning folks, Can you help me ID this truck - the title says it is a 1966 but I'm not certain. Obviously it's got the corrugated top and bug catcher doors...but it doesn't have the windshield vent I'd expect from a 1965. Do you think it's cobbled together? I can't find a frame VIN number at...

    New Pig to the area

    Hey NC folks - I am new to the area, and wanted to give a quick intro. We picked up the family and moved from Las Vegas last summer and settled in the North Raleigh area. I've got a 'close to' stock 1976 pig that I'm gradually working on - somewhat outdated thread is here...

    Mars Pig - 1976 FJ55

    I finally did it. :doh: I've been dreaming about owning a FJ55 for years. Recently my family has gotten a little larger; we had our first child, and there is no way we can fit the three of us in my little Tacoma. I considered 4 door tundras, and 100 series cruisers, but I kept coming...

    Tacoma Bumper Compatibility

    Does anyone know if the 1999 year Tacoma bumpers are compatible with the 2001 year bumpers? I know the grills were re-designed, but don't know if the bumpers have changed along with them. The ARB's for both years are the same, which would lead me to believe they are compatible. Anyone...

    Tundra Coils

    I've done some searching on the Tundra coils, and haven't found what I was hoping to so here goes. In my quest to make 285/75/16 Dueler Revo's fit the Tacoma, I think I've narrowed down what kind of lift would work best for me. I'm on a medium budget, and don't think I need anything the...

    Tacoma and FZJ80 Wheel Swap

    I've been on the board for a while, mostly for my 93 fzj80. Its getting a little high in the miles, and a little costly in repairs to keep daily driving it, so I'm going to have to sell it. As a replacement, I just purchased a 1999 Tacoma, V6 TRD 4x4. So my question is, on my 80 I have 5...

    Replacing Calipers

    I'm about a 1 :banana: mechanic, and when my truck was having braking issues I took it into the dealership. I didn't have the time or ability to mess with a full rotor replacement myself, so I had them do it for me. Long story short...they overcharged the crap out of me, and informed me that...

    Where to find Toyo Tires?

    There's been a lot of talk about how good the Toyo Open Country M/T's are, and I've been shopping around the Vegas area for a set of 315/75/16's to go with a OME heavy setup on my truck. Where in the world have you guys been able to find these tires?? I've had great experiences with...

    High Oil pressure worries

    Searched a bit and never found what I was looking for. I read a lot about low oil pressure, but does anyone have problems with high oil pressure? When my truck is cold and just starts up, the oil gauge reads almost half way between the top mark, and the upper-middle line. I was almost a quart...

    Rusting roof rack comes off

    Morning all, Last night I tore off the factory roof rack. Keep in mind, I'm short on patience and high on brute force with most all repairs, so I didn't treat this as gingerly as I should have...but, it is what it is. I picked up a Yakima rack system for next to nothing, to haul bikes...

    Borrego Springs TR - New 285 Revo's
