Thanks, yeah that was me. No, I won't immediately be replacing it with another off-road vehicle. We can still do mild off-roading in a near-stock 2007 Taco.

I just uploaded more off-roading pics. Most of these were years ago. Go to my user album to see a bunch of other pics. Here are a few of the more interesting off-road pics. This is the awesome rock garden that's in the first quarter mile of the Iron Chest Mine trail near Buena Vista, CO...

This is another possibility for 3rd gen 4Runners. It was built by Layne at Denver Off-Road. What's unique about it is it's made of thick aluminum, so it's extremely strong and intended for abuse off-road with mounting a winch in it. Most of it is 3/8" thick 6061, so it doesn't bend. The bumper...

It's SOLD. Thread can be deleted.

Sale is now in progress/pending pickup of the vehicle. I'll mark the thread as sold after it's all finalized. But it's basically sold now. Thanks for everyone's interest in it. From what I remember, the rear diff lock button is in the stock location, but I'm not certain if I moved it. The...

Thanks for the compliments! My 4Runner is still available. There have been a couple of married couples where they can't quite agree on something, such as finances, so they had to pass on buying it. My "old version" Camburg 1" uniball front upper control arms were starting to squeak. That's...

I received a question, so I'll post the answer here for others to see too. It has the 6 larger fuel injectors along with the Split Second controller and the nice Walbro fuel pump in the gas tank. I didn't get the 7th injector kit because that didn't exist way back in 2005.

I don't drive it a whole lot anymore. About 20,000 miles are on the rear. I didn't notice any play or concerns when I dug into it a couple months ago.

I have the FROR full floating rear with disc's. I bought it as a fully assembled "chunk" ready to install. I did some custom things to retain the ABS and kept the e-brake at the wheels. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one in the country that went to the extra effort to retain ABS after...

I've used a Rockstomper rear bumper for about 16 years now. I think it remained the only rear bumper he built for a 3rd gen. It might have been the 1st attempt for any off-road company to build a rear bumper as a product for the 3rd gen market. I used a rear spare tire rack on it for about the...

If you'd be able to take apart the outer joint in the CV axle, then I'd agree theoretically that you could drive with just the middle portion of the axle removed. But when I've broken the outermost section of the axle, it was Off-Road Solutions many years ago that told me it is extremely...

I've had a few generations of custom skids. Originally I had a set of 1/8" steel skidplates built by Rockstomper that were in two sections, which covered from below the radiator to just in front of the gas tank. The problem with 1/8" steel was they morphed themselves every time I went off-road...

Since someone brought this thread back up, I'll contribute a pic of mine. This is just to show the single row of LED's under the headlights which is otherwise wasted space. I used Rigid Industries single row with 6 LED's.

I agree that there's no way that trailer is rated for 10,000 lbs. The added heat in the transmission and engine probably messed up some things. Regardless of what the 4Runner is rated to tow, it becomes more and more unsafe as the trailer weight exceeds the weight of the tow vehicle itself. Of...
