Quick 2021 update - I think we're finally at the stage where we want to sell this 4Runner. 135K miles. Rust free... Details on page 1 about the vehicle specs.

The bolts work epic until that day (like today) where the drum is so stuck, the 8x1.25 threads strip. :(

We know a shit ton of folks in common no doubt. Good buddies with Francis as well, Hecox and crew, even hosted a few infamous RBR road rides here at the house with flame effects, kegs and weekend travelers from across the country. Know the boss Sadoff well too, raced CCX as well on a custom...

Do you ride with any of the folks from MTBR? Ever get out to Emma/UCSC/Wilder?

I think I made all but 7 of them in the last three weeks. I've finally blossomed?

Cool. A thread that predates me...

This works well for me. Vent magnet mount with a steel sheet in the case for the magnet to grab.

Is your leather from Katzkin?

Enough with Unique Vehicles for now. Back to the Gen 3 4runner. IMHO, the singlemost critical upgrade for driveability? Swapping in a Pioneer AVIC-5200NEX CarPlay headunit, Kicker CS speakers in all four doors and the front A pillar, a Kicker amp and Kicker Hideaway underseat sub. It took this...

No supercharger or power mods, just the stock 3.4 V6. We see about 13mpg when towing the rPod. We've towed across the Sierras several times, it climbs fine, and I'm super stoked to have the Tundra front rotor/calipers to modulate our speed on the long descents. We also have e-brakes on the rPod...

Re: Unique vehicles. So this 4WD vehicle in the collection isn't as unusual as it is small. 1/10 the scale, 1/10th the cost (maybe 1/20th the cost) of a full scale crawler. It's an R1 Gmade RC with four wheel steering and DIG rear lock axle for messing around in the yard, at the beach, on...

Watching from afar on instagram. Have fun.

Thanks! We got at least 8 inquiries last night when the ad went live, and I turned down a bidding war to keep to my commitment to the first buyer who was supposed to be coming out to buy it. He didn't show, so the sale is back on. I upped the price on the Craigslist ad, but would still support...

Needs - you guessed it - head gasket 1992 Toyota 4Runner; runs, but needs headgasket

I mentioned having a few unique vehicles over the past few years. Here's one I sadly needed to let go of. Owned for a dozen+ years... I had the pleasure of restoring this '78 FJ40. Shot the color, did all the mechanicals. It was originally a farmers truck in SW Utah, when I lived out there...
