I sincerely hope all of YT and all of my Mud friends are well and will continue to be so.
The Daily Chat Thread is a good place to reunite and socialize since we are are so restricted otherwise. I hope to see more involvement from all of you since what else do we have going on? I've been away so long many of you don't even know me even though you've probably heard the legends from your elders ...... LOL.
My life interests for the last 5 years have taken me into a different direction but this year I've decided to get back into being engaged with YT and off roading in general.
I recently resurrected my FJCruiser, it has been basically idle for the last 3 years with only less than 2500 miles during that time. I'm torn between selling it, keeping it as is, or just going overboard with serious mods.
I just bought a pretty much stock and fairly clean 1998 3rd Gen 4Runner 3.4 V-6 automatic. It has the 4.30 gears and rear locker and had 4 very bald tires with the cord showing which had to go immediately. I say pretty much stock because my 33" 285/85R16 BFG MT's on FJ 16" wheels fill the wheel wells nicely but don't rub which the forums say won't fit so maybe those newish looking springs and shocks are a lift kit? The T4R is a viable replacement for Minnie since there's more room than Minnie's standard cab for me and Saint Pam and the dogs. It might also replace the FJC, it is actually narrower with the same room inside. Did I mention I have a dual case setup for it and that it gets 20 MPG? - LOL.
I have some plans for the 4Runner and am looking for Land Cruiser 8 wrap rear coils. My research shows these give some rear lift and articulation. Does anyone have a pair of takeoffs they want to donate? I'll also be upgrading to Tundra front brakes pretty soon since the brakes are soft to begin with so why not add more stopping power than stock while doing it.
