    weeeee's build thread

    . I know this is an old thread but by chance do you have a link to the hinge and latch hardware you used? The lid on my Indel-B just broke and I'd rather do this than pay $80 for a new lid.

    2007 4runner factory suspension, Denver, $50

    Factory suspension from my 2007 4runner SR5 4x4. Changed to the FJC lift at about 100k miles. Good condition. Includes 2 x front coils, 2 x rear coils, 2 x front shocks and 2 x rear shocks. $50 OBO. Denver area, would prefer not to ship as shipping cost will likely exceed my asking price...

    "What's your bottom dollar?"

    This x eleventy Brazilians. I used to get angry at the "what's the lowest you'll take" but after a while I realized these were just people looking for someone desperate to sell. No point letting them rent space in your head. Sometimes I throw them a price, sometimes I just say "make me an...

    So long!

    No, need something bigger and with a V8. We got a new trailer last year and while the 4runner pulled it OK I definitely felt like I could use a little more power. Plus now that we're camping more we carry a lot more "stuff" so I could use some extra room as well. Current contenders are...

    So long!

    Well, I sold the 4runner last night to a dealer. :sad: Didn't get as much as I wanted but the sale was quick and painless and that's one less thing for me to do before my knee surgery (tomorrow) and then the holidays. I'm not QUITE out of here yet - I will have a couple of 4th gen specific...

    V6 Towing 4500 lbs Trailer Question - Route

    Also I drove through central New Mexico 10 days ago on icy roads and it was miserable. I was pulling a 2,000lb travel trailer and the snow and slush kept trying to pull me off the crown of the road. This was in 4wd with good tires (BFG AT KOs.) I would avoid any possibility of that by...

    My 4Runner met a early death...

    Have you looked at Addicted Off Road? They now make a 4th gen plate/tube hybrid bumper that IMO looks pretty good. Scotty is a great guy to deal with, he made the bumper on my '99. Best of all, he's located in Greeley so no hideous shipping fee. Just drive up there and pick it up...

    U-Haul Hitch Conflict

    Yes. My solution was simple: I unbolted the 7 pin connector from the bracket and just let it hang. No problems in 3 years and 30,000+ miles of towing.

    V6 Towing 4500 lbs Trailer Question - Route

    Routing... Of course, now I have to ask: Is there some reason you're going through Flagstaff? Here's why I'm asking: If you're going through Flag, it makes me think your idea is to take 40 all the way to Raleigh. With your heavy trailer, I wouldn't recommend that. You will have to go...

    V6 Towing 4500 lbs Trailer Question - Route

    Wow that's a heavy trailer for a V6. Do you have an external cooler? It's been years since I drove the route from Phoenix to Flagstaff but my recollection is that it's a steep climb for a relatively short distance. I think if it was me I'd take 40 all the way. It's a fairly gentle slope...

    Where do you keep your fuel cans?

    Roof rack I have used a small Yakima roof basket and also a much bigger Rola roof basket to carry 2 x 3 gallon RotoPax cans. the RotoPax cans are well made, airtight and reasonably flat. I don't bother with the fancy RotoPax rack, I just run a shortened ratchet strap through the middle of the...

    Bad power window switch?

    Is there a link somewhere on the board to the changeout process? I have the same problem with the same window except that it got worse and worse and now the switch on the door doesn't work at all so I have to use the driver's switch to put the window up and down. If it's easy, I'll do it myself.
