I'm in. I may or may not have the kiddos with me but it's nice to know families are welcome.

Is this a kid friendly run? My girls have been begging to go lately.

I'm down for future runs. I was heading to Corral Canyon that same day and thought about hooking up with you guys at the MCDonalds. However, I got a call from my brother in law, who recently purchased an '85 Landcruiser, and he wanted to take it out and see what it could do. Either way, I'll...

It's a manual, he does not. I forgot that when I was typing out a list of common mods.

What I meant was cooler um......well, there's no real recovery after that one. Rookie mistake!! You got me! Cooler interior maybe? He said he didn't like it. I recommend seat covers that have like skulls, knives and chipmunks or wombats on them. Wombats are always cool. And yes, you should...

Wow...manual and a rear locker! Rare find for sure. All it needs now (if you buy it) is a lift, diff drop, bigger tires, front bumber, rear bumper, running boards removed, baja rack, tranny cooler, sliders, air locker (for the front), on-board compressor, winch, etc... :-) Hope you can work a...

SCRunner12 is correct......no need for a lift to fit that size tire. I wheeled them on stock suspension for a while. No rubbing or anything even at full stuff. What, if anything, do you plan on doing with the rear? I know you want to go for the prereunner look, so are you leaving the rear as...

Dang it!!! I'm outta town that weekend! I haven't been on a run since the Takeover!! BUT...I'll be out of town due to the fact I will be running my first half ironman triathlon. You guys wish me luck......and have fun out there.

Not sure where you would rent one. I think someone around here did their body lift with the stock bottle jack and a bunch of 2x6's or something. I borrowed a hi lift from a buddy when I did mine. Looking to purchase my own soon.

:iagree: Yep, I'd take them to a shop to have them disassembled/assembled. I was even nervous about compressing the rear springs myself. Lots of energy in those things when compressed......

I'm having the same issue. Could be that you just need to clean and tighten your terminals. After that, I'd replace the starter contacts. Parts for that will run you somewhere around 10 bux for just the contacts or you can buy the rebuild kit for like 20 or 25. Like I said, I have the same...

From a Prius to an '05 Runner! Nice. Nothing against the Prius, thinking about getting something along those lines if I keep adding stuff to my Runner. My MPG's are disappearing! Anyway....welcome to the forums. Lotsa good info here. What sliders did you get? Did you weld them on yet? I...

Nope, not that hard to do. Funny a mechanic would say that, not surprised the dealership would tell you it is difficult as they want your business. It can be messy though. While a proper seal puller is ideal, it is not necessary. I think a seal driver would be more useful, but I just used a...

So we're wheeling this weekend then? :-) flyte74 brian2sun jsmithjr Let's do it!

Did you get your lift installed yet?
