My budget roof rack!

Finally on 37's but they are on a 16.5 wheel so definitely just a highway/street/DD purposes for now but it helps being on 5.29 gears. Tires are a bit heavy.

Starting to think I'm going to save up to go to a part time 4×4.

My kids love the cruiser!

Help!

Pulled into in-laws driveway and have my radiator bubbling into my overflow.

Temperature gage shows fine

-Bad radiator cap?
-Bad mixture of coolant?
-thermostat?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Pics from a midweek outing when I had to stay home with kiddos so we went to the lake.

This is how most of the roads are by the lake with the high water.

Posed for the wife to take pic. Haven't wheeled something with such short wheel base and high CoG.... Going to have to get some practice

Fun camping weekend

So my last wheeler was a Tacoma On 33's and it had pretty low center of gravity and longer wheelbase. Now with the cruiser, it's shorter and taller. I haven't been wheeling much in it so I'm uncomfortable so this felt steep.

Fixed t-case leak fixed with new O ring on the Speedo sensor. Also working on a trade to get different 37's and locking hubs. In progress on the roof rack as well.

I looked at every standard o ring chart and metric. Even a few other size standards. I couldn't find a direct fit that wouldn't be too much squish or sloppy. So I went with Toyota OEM
