@thatcabledude had a good idea for the FL panhandle/lower AL folks to meet up at the 2024 30A Sand Rover Rally. It’s April 18-21 at Grayton Beach, FL.

Seems like a cool event, even though they show no love for the LC’s. Its enough time away to get the rigs ready...
I have nearly finished my 8 year 40 frame-off resto. When starting I had only rattle-can painted, but after reading on the net, and get my youtube exam, I started shooting. Results are OK.
Since I have a blog on overlanding and technical stuff I made a writeup there. It is pretty long..
How to...
Hey guys, long time lurker here out of the shadows with his first post!
Some background: I am the owner of a 2018 GCC spec LC 200 with the 4.6 petrol engine and 6 speed automatic. I'd say about 50% of my driving is spent in the desert and I can't help but notice how sluggish the engine is going...
I have been looking in the owner manual and on the bfgoodrich site, but can't really get a clear answer on what pressures to run in different conditions. What are your best practices & recommendations?
1996 HZJ75 troopy with an aluminium flip top roof, full camper interior, 80L water tank...
All right folks. It's time to head to the dunes. This is the official club run. We will have a bunch of 406 Cruiser flags and whips, the weather will be sunny and in the 70's, and this will be one of the most fun driving experiences you'll have driving a truck!
Most stock and built rigs will do...
As the title says: sand beige exterior with a grey interior. Was this ever a factory combination? I'm considering it for my future truck, but have never seen it. Does anyone have any pictures of this combination?
You may have already seen this one, but thought it was pretty cool. How to get out of sand with a little patience. Jeff, was thinking of you after our last conversation about people getting out of sand at the last meeting...
For one weekend each in June and August this year, Michigan is offering free use of ORV areas and trails. Here is the press release and the web site for Silver Lake State Park ORV area. Silver Lake is a fantastic area to play with Land Cruisers and other 4WD in the sand. Anyone wanting to gain...
Hey Guys,
I need to have my FJ40 sand blasted. I live in the Oklahoma City area and have talked to a few blasters but, since this is my first time, I have some reservations on who to go with. I really don't have any references from anybody. Anybody out there have any experience with blasters in...

77' FJ40 FOR SALE $9,500.00
I've owned it since 08' and it's always passed safety and emissions. Daily drove it for a long period but haven't used it much the past two years. The door seals are tight, however there is rust in passenger door, top around corner windows, light rust on rear doors...
Which would be better suited for climbing deep soft sand dunes on a stock 2016 4runner between:
255/75/17 class C
Or 265/70/17 class E
I'm thinking the 255 is skinnier but can allow more stretch and hence wider footprint due to the softer sidewall, which will also increase puncture risk...
Hey all,
I went off roading last weekend with people and shortly thereafter my brakes (mostly the front) started to make a grumbling grinding noise. There's no change in pedal movement or stopping power. I wondered if the calipers were just dirty so today I cleaned them out at the car wash. I...
