We’ll have a booth there again this year, I HIGHLY recommend the expo to anyone even remotely interested in adventure travel. If you camp on the grounds you’ll have an opportunity to meet thousands of other people too, discuss rigs, trips, experiences, etc. Also food, raffles, talks...

Hey everyone. I just picked up a trailer and need help with figuring the wiring out. I have an aftermarket bumper and it looks like the 4 and 7 pin connectors were unplugged and removed during the install. I’ve attached photos do what I believe are the two harness connectors that go to the...

Thanks for the pic, tried to explain that in my first post. Some wheels won’t work though, I know for a fact my stock FJC steelies won’t fit cause their mounting surface is nearly flat, the wheel would torque against the end of the factory studs and not on the spacer itself.

I’ll double check the size, pretty sure these are 1.25, showing rear wheel studs. Note the protrusion.

Good to know. My just pull the starting battery for a little to reset the system and see what happens.

Ya I’ve got a reader but it’s in Arizona right now. I find figured if the ABS wire got nicked then the ABS light would be on too, this is just the trac light. I made an SST for doing zero points for my last 4Runner, I may just go ahead and try it tonight just to see what happens.

It is super tight, but does fit. There are spacers that should be included in the kit to clearance the bracket away from the fender, allowing room for the hood strut to fold down. That said, I mounted my manifold upside down accidentally, but it still fits with two locker solenoids hooked up...

You’re rear studs may stick out past the 1” spacers, so make sure there’s clearance on the mounting side of the new rims, otherwise you’ll have to trim each stud down by hand or pay someone to press shorter studs in for you. If it were me I’d just get rims with the correct offset, lots of...

Hopefully a quick one. Went wheeling a while back, knocked the steering wheel pretty far out of center and slip indicator came on. Had an alignment done, all is good mechanically but slip indicator is still on. Dropped it at Toyota for an oil change (got a coupon from them) and they want...

Does GFC not make the same brackets for the superlite as they do for the standard tent? I know the standard tent has 5th-gen self brackets that essentially replaces your rack, super low profile. Or do you want to maintain an standard rack with the tent?

New to the 3rd gen forum, we just picked up an 01 as a backup vehicle for Baja. I read through all the posts but couldn’t find what I’m looking for. We’d like a progressive/variable rate rear coil designed for stock/light loads. 2” lift max, ideally less. Does this coil exist? Thanks everyone.

Agreed, I don’t know the first thing about them, hence the post. I’d prefer to spend a few more bucks and get something with a known track record. Still curious about them though, I hear there’s transmission issues, I’d like to know about the motors though. And I told my pops this... a...

Hey everyone, my old man is looking for a backup vehicle for Baja. Primary vehicle is a 2013 4Runner. He has a Jeep wj as a backup now and it keeps having issues. He’d like not to spend over 5k. I’ve been looking at high mileage 3rd gens, but how do the early 2000’s Rodeos stack up? I feel...

Just measured, from the asphalt to the bottom of the rear fender flare I’m at 41.5” and 41.75”, respectively. That’s with 315/70r17’s (saw you have the same tire size). I can measure from the center of the hub when I can get an extra pair of hands. That’s unloaded, which for me means rear...

I can get back to you later today, I’m honestly not sure. Anyone know of a free vehicle scale in the Bay Area?
