This may be a simple fix, simply worn shifter bushing. Take a look at Toyota Tacoma manual transmission pop out of gear? Here's the simple fix! - All This is for a Tacoma, but it's all the same.

Enjoy beer in Durango. Watch Brew Dogs episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWDYppMfUfM We enjoyed particularly Steamworks and Carver Brewery.

These look interesting. But what I'd really like to see is some action pictures in the rocks showing some hits and slides. Do these really protect, or is the concept just blowing smoke?:target:

The Arizona FJ Cruiser non-club AZFJ has a good list of trips in Arizona: AZFJ Forums Arizona Trail Reviews

I don't get out as much as I'd like. Maybe when it gets a little cooler. Another related group that is very active, both offroad and socially, is the AZFJ "nonclub" AZFJ › › Home

This thing rides better and has more room than my '63 Wagoneer. Gets better gas mileage too. Smells better. What's not to like?:banana:

I'm a big guy, circumferentially, and I had the same problem, whether it was the side bolsters or what, but after about six months we came to an accommodation. Doesn't bother me much now.

"There were 25 colleges in attendence. He's narrowed his choices down to GCU (AZ) and Sonoma State. University of Oregon is interested in him too." Stay away from GCU. My granddaughter investigated it and we found out it is a for-profit enterprise masquerading as a Christian College. Google...

We have a 2003 Pilot, used it on the occasional gravel backroad, beat it up moderately. At about 40,000 miles, after a trip to Joshua Tree Monument in California, both struts and one rear shock started leaking oil. Two engine mounts also failed, including the oil-filled one. Then the window...

I might be interested in the gap, but can anyone else here keep up with your big wheels? I only have 32s on my TE, no lift.

Sunlight reflection off the hood bump on the TE (I may yet paint it flat black) It would be nice if the hood sloped down for better off-road sightline Better sunvisor extensions, or side window sunvisors More user-friendly phone setup for Bluetooth Better directory perusing for USB memory sticks

Oh, yeah? I'm 66 years young, and remember doing punch cards for Fortran programming in '65, Teletype input to paper tape (PDP-9) in '74, assembly language (hand "compiled" into machine code) on home-brew Z80 (thanks Byte magazine) in '76. Almost as primitive as my rusty '63 Wagoneer with the...

I'm sure that's with Imperial Gallons. In US gallons, that's 23.3mpg.

I just gotta jump in here with a little physics. :frisky: If you go up in tire diameter from 32 to 33 inches without recalibrating your speedometer/odometer, you will have two effects. 1. The simple geometric change in distance traveled is 33/32 = 1.031. That's 3.1 percent. 2. You will want...
