    When did the 200 get adaptive cruise control?

    We're considering selling the 100 in favor of a used 200 series. One of the biggest features I'm looking for is adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, and similar safety features. What year did Toyota start putting these systems in the 200s?

    What to expect to pay for an 84 long bed?

    lol, no worries. I like flatbeds a lot, they're more versatile I think. Like my flatbed trailer, I can make some side rails and keep those in if I want, but I'm not restricted to the bed dimensions and tie downs... my 2010 Tacoma had a dearth of usable tie downs, and those sliding ones they had...

    What to expect to pay for an 84 long bed?

    Most people in my generation don't have enough money to afford an off-road rig. Why not flat bed?

    What to expect to pay for an 84 long bed?

    Thank you all for the replies! I am hoping to get some progress this week to see if he's really wanting to sell and for how much, but this gives me a great place to start setting my (and wife's) expectations. Plans for it if I do buy it will be to put some stock sized BFG AT/KO2s on, a towing...

    What to expect to pay for an 84 long bed?

    My boss' neighbor has an 84 long bed pickup that he's considering selling. I stopped by the other day and we chatted a bit, I made it clear to him that I'm an enthusiast and he said that he really wants me to have it if he sells it. He doesn't know what he'd ask for it, so I thought I'd post...

    This was working earlier but now I'm getting an error when I try to connect: Unable to connect to VIM. Any idea what's wrong?

    Regearing to 4.88s

    I ordered a set of underdrive gears for the high range from cruiser outfitters today, though they're backordered. Does anyone have any install instructions or a video they could link me to?

    Strange new dash light came on

    I was doing some exploring last weekend and at one point we hit some nasty washboards. Not a big deal, but this new light came on and I don't know what to do about it... Seriously though the D light hasn't worked since I've owned the truck, and now it is working most of the time. Wtf?

    Vendor for Doug Thorley headers?

    We're finally able to upgrade (and tired of breathing exhaust from my leaking headers), but I'm having trouble finding a good source for them. Doug Thorley's website is out of stock, and the one other vendor I found has a $150 markup from DT's site, and I have no experience with them. Are there...

    Undercarriage Rust Prevention: Used ATF, 75W-90, or Marine Grease?

    Project Farm tested under coatings recently. Used motor oil (like ATF, probably), did nearly nothing. Good recommendations in the vid. Skip to 14:30 for summary.

    Warn MX8000 enough?

    I looked at the 9500 smittybilt, but the amazon reviews are a horror show. Gotta take it with a grain of salt of course, but it has me concerned. One thought I had is if I do end up getting this MX8000, I could use it with a snatch block when I do need it, and when I can afford it I can upgrade...

    Warn MX8000 enough?

    Yeah, empty it weighs about 6000. Sorry, my google-fu was failing me :/ I was also looking to see if anyone would comment on the MX8000 for $300. Thank you, I'm not sure I can pass up the price to at least have a winch. I will look into the snatch block and extension. EDIT: Would a 3''...

    Warn MX8000 enough?

    There's a guy selling an MX8000 that seems to be in decent shape for $300. Would that be enough for my LX or should I try to find a 12000 lb winch? Also, for testing it to make sure it works, do I just hook it up to the battery and see if it spools?

    Charging dual batteries in parallel

    Not exactly cruiser related, but at work we use a 14 foot alumacraft boat with a 20 horse Yamaha, electrical start, and an alternator. We have a smaller, secondary battery that we use to pump chemicals for pond/lake treatments. Would we be able to connect the two batteries in parallel to charge...

    2nd row delete sleeping platform

    How difficult is it to remove the second row seats for camping, then reinstall? I've thought at trying to car camp but $1000-$1500 just for a platform in the rear seems a little steep when I could just fill the gap with gear and sleep with my head at the tailgate.
