weezer Been going to Silverton area since 1971. Can't seem to stay away very long at a time. Wish I could be there July 4, but can't. Don't think I saw Poughkeepsie Gulch, and Imogene pass mentioned. Don't forget them. Imogene is my favorite of them all. Have a great time!

we actually ezer are you sure you want a "cold air" system?? Most of the ones I have seen do not actually bring in any more cold air than the stock system---some actually bring in even more hot air than the stock. But they sound soooo much better when you put the pedal to the floor.

weezer Other than the 2000 4 R Limited I normally drive, my wife has a 2005 Honda Accord. A couple of "toys" are an 89 Maxda RX7 convertible with a 4.3 L chevy engine and 700R4 tranny. Also a 1974 Suzuki TC 185 Enduro, which is the most fun for me. I love off roading, in a 4X4, and more so...

weezer Poor product. One front strut was beginning to leak so I got new struts, used my old springs, and installed a 1" lift spacer. The new struts ride smother, but I notice the front end bounces more when backing out of the driveway, which has about a 4" curb drop. Also bottoms easier when...

weezer Wadle5, the 4x4 recreation area at Tuttle Creek lake is on the west side of the lake, about half way between Randolph and Manhattan, if I remember correctly. Has been a few years since I was there. It is a couple(?) of miles east of the highway on a gravel road. A pretty good area for...

weezer I had the same problem, had the same fixes done. It was better, but still had a slight problem. It did it at times when braking, and even new brake rotors didn't fix it. In the sixties (telling my age here) I ran an alignment machine and remembered that wobble can happen when there...

weezer Thanks for the replies. Picking up a converter and seals tomorrow A.M. I parked it this afternoon. It was getting so loud I was afraid to drive it further. The cooler is a great idea. There just happens to be one in my pile of old parts. Speaking of parts. If anyone is into Mazda...

weezer I haven't talked with my friend yet, but we may take you up on your offer to show us around----if you wouldn't mind being seen with a two 70 year old eccentric geezers. Our wives tell us we are overaged teenagers. He collects antique cars and parts from the 1920s, to 1940s, and I'm...

weezer As a matter of fact, I'll be coming through Salt Lake on another trip on the way to Idaho and Canada earlier in summer. Any good places up your way? I am only familiar with Moab and areas south of I-70. I am going with a friend, but we could take my Yota and hit some places along the...

weezer Thanks for the reply. I guess I had better get busy, as it sounds louder today. A good suggestion about the rear main seal. It isn't leaving drops on the garage floor yet, but I noticed some wet oily looking area at the back of the engine.

weezer Thanks for the reply. I don't do a lot of really rough off road, was mainly interested in protecting the lower plastic panel (valiance)? on the bumper. Have thought about putting an earlier model panel on it that doesn't stick out like the 2000. Can you tell me more about the...

I recently got my first 4 Runner after 6 Jeep Cherokees, and I really like it. But have a problem that is new to me. It is a 2000 limited 4x4 with 170k miles, and has a torque convertor that started whining about 3 months ago, and is getting gradually worse. A fluid change and can of trans...

I'm a newby to this site, and would like to know if there are other Offroaders around Wichita, Ks. who knows where to go around here. There is a place 3 hours west, and one at Manhattan, Ks, about 3 hours away, but would like to know of somewhere closer----if it exists. It is pretty flat around...

After owning 6 Jeep Cherokees and 1 wrangler, got a 2000 4 Runner Limited in Oct. 2012, and don't plan on going back to Jeep. Only changes so far are 32" tires and 2" lift. Plan on adding a mini Bull bar to protect its long snout from steep approaches. Can't wait to take it to Moab and see how...
