In the midst of a US overland trek, and looking to swap out my rear coils to help with the extra weight I’m carrying. Currently running the 2” OME 901 HD’s in the rear with a 1.25” coil spacer. Springs are on their last legs I think. Well over 150,000km on them and I am definitely overloaded...

2 questions...do you still have? And any idea if they would would for the rear of a 2nd gen? Found myself in a pinch and need some new rear coils. In the midst of researching now. Currently on a US road trip, in Pismo Beach heading that way in a couple days

Hey all, wow it's been a while since I posted. I still lurk around from time to time, I'll have to change that... Looking for some help for a fellow local Toyota club member. He's in Moab right now at McDonalds stealing some free wifi, he's got a bent drivers side knuckle on his 2nd gen Taco...

I replace one on my 89 pickup years ago, I had no oil cooler either and just jammed a rubber stopper in there, ran it that way for years no leaks no problem. I just replaced the water pump on my 94 T4R, same thing no oil cooler but I still had a hose attached to the bypass, I would assume for...

33x12.5 on 15x8 rims 3 1/4 back spacing. 2" OME lift. Little rub at 3/4 turn on the lower plastic piece of front bumper. Rolled the inner lip of rear wheel wells (with a pair of pliers in Guatemala) stuffs nicely.

Oil change, front brake pads, cap and rotor, fuel filter, throttle body cleaning, tire rotation

Yes...now that I'm home I promise I'll update my trip thread. I know it's been a while but on the way back we were way off the beaten track and not around wifi too often so I just gave up on it. Just got home the other day, 25,000km, 127 days on the road, 10 countries (twice) no breakdowns...

Gave my rig a nice well deserved bath, vacuum, and some general TLC after she took me on a 25,000 km trip to Panama and back. I think she loves me again...

Wish I could have met up with you guys, looks like it was a blast. We rolled in late yesterday morning, had a few too many pops with some people we met at Rabbit Valley the night before... Hung out in Arches for the afternoon yesterday, and managed to get out and run Seven Mile Rim this morning...

What time in the morning would that be? I think we're going to try and make rabbit valley and set up there for the night which is around mile marker 2 on the I-70 in CO

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it today, if I do it won't be until later tonight. Not sure who's sticking around for more trail runs tomorrow but I might be down for a run depending on when we roll in and who's still there. Kinda bummed, was really hoping I could make it today...

I'm still a very big maybe...leaning more towards yes than no. If I can make it we'll be rolling in Friday or Saturday. I have to replace my idler arm again and my inner tie rod ends before I can do any wheeling. That's what I get for buying "Japanese Quality Made in China" damn Nicaraguans...

I probably won't know until a couple days beforehand. We're in El Salvador now making tracks to be in Texas by the 18-20....I'll keep you posted

Not much more I can say about the truck than that, wanted to have more done before I left...sliders bumpers etc...but ran out of time. I tell ya though, I've put this thing through hell on this trip and she's held up...love this truck. As for me ya you could say I'm experienced. I've been...

2nd Gen Picture Thread Atop Volcan Baru in Panama. 11,398 feet. Epic wheel to get there. I'll post some vids when I get them off my camera. Could see both the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea from up there, watched the sun set in the west and the sun rise in the east.
