"I just looked at the local car dealer warranty 30days/1000miles oh boy nice..." It may not be a bad idea to go and talk to the dealer where you bought the truck. You are only 200 miles past the dealer's warranty. They will most likely not help you, but sometimes it is easier to get someone to...

My dad was an engineer at Cummins. Back in the early 2000's, his team developed a V6 and V8 that were intended to be used in light duty vehicles. I know they were in talks with Toyota to supply them the V8, but that was a long time ago. I don't remember the exact specs of the motors, but I think...

WTB: third row seats I would like to find a set of third row seats to replace the sliding tray in my Trail. I live in Reno NV.

Oh, they are 16"? I just figured they were 17".

I don't know if this is legit, but these wheels are supposedly $175 a piece. NEW TOYOTA FJ CRUISER TRAIL TEAM BLACK WHEELS IN STOCK

My passenger side one was loose. It was causing a rattling sound from that side that was driving me crazy.

I have an Overland Warehouse 2.0 kit I am thinking of selling. I also have a pair of Light Racing upper control arms. Are you still looking for a lift?

I am not sure if the Icon's have heim joints like Overland Warehouse/Radflo. My OW 2.0's creaked really bad, and it ended up being dirt particles in the heim joints. Once I realized what it was, I kept the joints lubed up with some Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector, and the creaking didn't come...

I love them so far. They are pretty quiet for a mud terrain. I have had the Firestone MT's and Duratrac's and the BFG's are quieter so far. I don't know how much my mileage has suffered yet. Power loss is noticable, but not as bad as I had expected. They are great off road. I was a pit...

I finally decided what size tire to get. 255/80-17 BFG KM2's. I am looking forward to seeing how they ride. Thanks to SEP for being the guinea pig. The wheels are FJ Steelies.

Brock, I was just looking through your pic of the Notch. I used to live in Farmington, NM and have been up to the Notch a few times. Once I went up in a stock 2wd Ford Ranger. From your pics, it looks like someone tore it down, but there used to be a building next to that mine shaft. Is it still...

FS: Shrockworks Sliders I have a pair of SW sliders powdercoated black with three support braces. I haven't had the opportunity to slide off of anything with them yet. I am thinking of getting the Budbuilt ones with the Bump out so that I can get my mountain bike off of the roof easier. I would...

We used to always go to Ely, usually starting at Moose Lake and portaging up into Canada a bit. It has been a long time. I would love to go back.

Nice looking truck! Does your user name have anything to do with the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area? I used to go there every year.

Mine went out about 800 miles after my warranty expired. The dealership quoted some ridiculous number. I think it was $168 a piece or something like that. There is not much available aftermarket, but Gobi offers a set for $99.00 shipped.
