:) a blast from the past email shows up in my account. So I had the T4R for a year and then sold it as ive explored the island plenty. Moved to the mainland for a year to get my MA and shipped my Z with me. Moving to Oz in a few months. As far as the truck. No issues. It had 4.88's so going any...

good luck in the wash job, yikes!!!! Ive gotten my very dirty, just like that and its a pain to clean. But well worth the fun

Yeah I know itll be easier for Ice to get around, but Im hoping that they have a stringent test or search system for that. It'll make it a larger pain for us who dont do anything like that though. maybe the 5.0 should leave us alone who have large tires and look for ice. Seriously, which is the...

Yeah for the big boat that'll prob destroy so much of our oceanic life. But if it does, make sure you come over and have fun. I wish I did have a front or rear locker on it and made that whole ordeal so much easier. But it was fun and true off roading trying to get your rig out of the situation...

Noticed the front right shock sitting out almost under and through the coil. I have a fabtech lift. The coil was about to pop out but the spindal held it in, the strut was pushed up under one of the coils half way down, so it was compressed more than the other. Dont think it was like this for to...

I can get 250 with about a gallon left in the tank. With a bit of off road use i get a wee bit over 200. Im running 35' swampers with 4.88's. I never stomp on it, its to big to go fast plus I have my 07 Z if I have a need for speed. My millage calculates to approx 13-16 per mile. I have 18 gal...

I absolutely love your 4runners. They are sick. If I plan on sticking around the islands, i will ad quite the few mods to mine. Front bumper, winch, ARB, top rack for kayak's jack, shovels etc, rear bumper for petrol and spare. I love it now, but it could be so much more fun. Sick job on yours

Im partial to the second set of wheels and leaving the rack. but im also not an urban 4runner guy, im a take your truck where it belongs guy. Off road. :)

I have the same issue with my 99 sr5. I bought it with 110K and 35 super swampers. Thought it might be unballanced tires or that they have huge knobbs on them. It smooths out at 50 or so, but between 25-40 the wheel moves a lot. about 1-2 in total travel back and forth. It drives straight when i...

Yes, I often frequent Richardsons, youll see either my car or truck parked there. Come on over, its a great place

35's. Big island is great, and plenty of fun here. Bought it as a birthday present so I can explore the island a bit more. :)

Bet you would'nt be saying "Only down side is it was a bit dusty" if you were in the runner on those back roads. I was surprised too with the mazda 3, the speed 3 was really fun. Ended up purchasing a 07 Z though. Gas economy is great in the Mazdas nice job, now you need to join a mazda forum too.

Just adding two photos of my weekend excursion to south point and Green sands beach; Big island. What do you all think? I was traveling through red dirt which turns to silt with ease, you can walk on it and it'll break down so driving and turning tires turns it. I have the regular 4x4, no...
