    I need the "Wait, before you buy..." tips.

    I might buy a new or close-to-new 4Runner. I think (?) I want a TRD Off-Road Premium. But, that's based solely on "passive" info, i.e., me reading online. What I'm missing is the input from owners - "category-involved" owners - to say "Wait, don't buy ___. Just buy ___ and then buy the ___...

    Sourcing AC Parts - Old vs. New

    At some point, I have GOT to put AC in the '84. Assuming I can find someone parting out a compatible truck with AC - which parts are worth getting? The easy answer is "all of them." But these are parts that A. May be shot. B. I'll be paying to ship. I know I want all the brackets, dash...

    Woodworking help needed...

    I'm in the process of making a center console (armrest, cupholders, storage) for my '84 Pickup. Once complete, I'll have the upholstery shop pad/wrap it to match the seats they did for me. But, I've hit a snag. The lid will be hinged to open length-wise toward the passenger seat. Initially, I'd...

    the 50,000-mile headlight and grille refurb... is getting old

    I mean, at least I'm getting efficient at it. The rattle cans are labeled "100 Grille" and I don't even have to think about the process - tape, 1000, 1500, polish, clear. But this time was a bit more work. The 2K clear coat held up for a couple years - longer than any other coating, e.g., the...

    Which Winch?

    I am NOT an advocate of "use the biggest winch you can fit in the bumper". Well, I guess if I were building a true overland 100 Series, then sure. Starting with a 5,600 lbs truck then adding bumpers, swing-aways, armor, cooler, water, extended range tanks, blah, blah... But I'm not doing that...

    Boom Racing BRX01?

    I think I want to build an RC crawler - a kit, not an RTR. I'm more interested in the building part than the using/playing part. I want a more realistic "model" as opposed to an extremely capable 1:10 crawler that, if 1:1, would be on 49s with portals ;-) Based on that, the guys on an RC forum...

    Upgrade to 4340 Chromoly Shafts?

    I'm starting to order the gears and lockers for the '84. Currently, everything is stock (60,000 miles). I don't want this to spiral out of control. But, I don't want to overlook the obvious upgrades... especially when the labor is already accounted for with this work. With that stock 105hp 22r...

    Rain gutters had trim?

    How am I just learning this? Was this an SR5 thing, a port installed thing?

    Cargo area carpet - clean, replace, cover, ignore?

    I love my 100. But every time I open the back, I think "Yep, she's old." The previous owner - I bought this when it was 4-yrs-old with 39,000 miles - treated it like complete %$@*. The cargo areas was used often to haul motorcycle parts - just dropped in, on the carpet. Anyway, it's looked like...

    Source for rubber bushings?

    It's amazing how much better you can see - and how much worse things look - when you're standing under the truck on a lift. Now that the suspension is done, I want to replace some other worn bushings - the sway bar for example. I know. I know - the cool thing is to just ditch it. Nope. I like...

    Drop in MPG... yep, another mileage thread

    First off... sorry. Second... I know, I know - don't calculate the damn MPGs. Okay, back on topic. I bought my '06 a long time ago - it was 4 yrs old with 39,000 mlles. Stock, I got 17++ MPG. But stock didn't last long. 33s, steel wheels. bumper, winch, lift. Initially, the MPG-sapping mods...

    Question for GROM users - Volume

    I noticed recently - because my daughter left the system on FM - that the volume for FM is MUCH louder than CarPlay - Spotify, Sirius, etc. I've been through all of the menus, maxed the volumes... but it wouldn't surprise me if there's another hidden menu somewhere. Anyone know if this is...

    Horn Wiring

    This one is embarrassing to post. I decided to sort out the horn - or lack of a horn (if horn is the sound). The actual horn is there, but there's no wire to the horn. I spent a good bit of time with good light looking for the wire to the horn - looking down, on my back looking up... nothing. A...

    Reducing interior rattles

    The only downside to putting the sound deadening mat under the carpet and in the doors is that it made the other rattles more noticeable. One of my (many) upcoming projects is to pull the dash apart to put that sweet crackless OE dash in. I want to go further - pulling the steering column cover...

    Source for OME Suspension?

    I'm pretty sure Patty has Rough Country lift springs. Also, pretty sure the previous owner spec'ed Heavies - or Heaviests. Even with the bed on, the shackles are vertical and, at 180 lbs, jumping up and down on the bed barely moves the suspension. Time for an upgrade. I was (still am?)...
