    2018 front bumper ideas and comments

    I'm reserching front bumpers for my son's 18 4runner. I'm looking for what your running, likes and dislikes. It is mostly street with mild off road. Last spring he hit a deer and wants a bit more strength in front. Looking at something that covers to the side with a loop by the grill. Here's a...

    Lutz Auto Temp Gauge Alarm install

    I've had this for about a month and finally decided to install it. The quality is what I have come to expect from Lutz and the install was simple. The question is though, would this have saved my engine from the complete nuclear meltdown about 4 years ago? The answer is "It depends". If I was...

    Ran the Mojave Road (about half) this weekend.

    I was forwarded the map of the Mojave Road closures last week and decided to go look at the damage. The road was considered closed until last Thursday. My route brought me in on Cima road turning onto Kelso and picking up the Mojave Road about the 1/3 mark, if you were going East to West. The...

    Need ideas for switching

    What I need is a solid state controller. I want to get away from traditional mechanical relays. This is going to be mostly for light controlling. Right now I run a Bussmann fuse/relay panel and I've out grown it. I like the SPod but there is no way I will put out $1k for it just because it has...

    96 FJ80 EGR temp sensor

    My temp sensor has been acting up every once in a while. The motor and almost everything on it has been updated or replaced (PM mostly) with the exception of the temp sensor and a few other parts. I occasionally get an EGR code and traced back to the temp sensor. This is the last piece on the...

    Mojave Road after Thanksgiving

    I want to run the Mojave road after Thanksgiving. So far it looks like I may go by myself (again). 1. I haven't set an exact date. I would prefer not to leave the Friday after due to the number of people doing just that. Saturday or Sunday (11/28-29) would be preferable. 2. I haven't set the...

    Roof coating on new plywood

    Planning out the roof on my new build. I would like to use a rubberized roof coating for a variety of reasons. What I see is EPDM should be the way to go. Spreads on nicely, self leveling, reflects heat, flex's and is water proof. Everything I want. The problem is this, all of the manufactures...

    Venting enclosed fridge.

    A couple of months ago, I was on a trip and one of the guys I camped with had added some extra venting and a couple of small fans to his fridge enclosure. He had said his fridge would overheat on hot days while it was put away (slide's out the side like mine will). His was a bought trailer from...

    Trailer Park Brake solved with pics

    I decided to make this a separate post because of the trouble I had researching park brakes. I know people have successfully hooked them up but all I found after months of research was people asking about it, others trying things but never saying if it worked. Odds are the info is buried in...

    My teardrop (ish) build V1.0

    Over the last decade, I’ve been running around with a small trailer and an RTT. I realized that half of my trips have high winds and even though the RTT holds up well, its noisy as heck and I don’t get much sleep. For this reason, I decided to build a small teardrop ish trailer. My criteria...

    Low power after rebuild

    Did some searching here but didn't see what I'm experiencing. From the beginning. Bought a used motor to rebuild, Block had no taper, great cross hatching and no real wear in bore. Block did have horrible pitting on deck. Machine shop said they could deck and it would be good. When head and...

    96 fj80 part number questions

    I'm rebuilding my motor. The crank needed polishing, not turning, the deck needed milling due to heavy pitting and the cyl's only needed a quick hone. Im getting ready to order my rings and bearings. I didn't grab the number off the block before it was decked. Looking at my manual and using the...

    Need to go camping

    So I haven't been out since April. Son got married over memorial day so I didn't do my Mojave road trip then. Spent the summer working and being lazy. Was suppose to do my sliders but....lazy. I'm thinking of Big Bear in a yellow post or if it cools a bit, desert wouldn't be bad. Not looking to...

    Death Valley Trip

    I just got back from a four day trip into Coso/Death Valley. There were 16 vehicles in this run. I normally don't like more than 5-6 so I was a bit apprehensive at the start. There was a pretty good mix of mostly Toyota's and a couple of Jeeps with 2 token Montero's. I was one of 3 FJ80's. Two...
