2014 Lonestar Toyota Jamboree

If I have a stock '99 4Runner (no lift), and plan on doing mostly 1- and 2-level stuff, do you think I would need to bring a spare CV? I'm guessing the CVs usually break on lifted vehicles doing more difficult stuff, but I don't have much experience with the matter. Are there any other parts that would be wise to bring spares of?

I recommend carrying a spare CV. While lift may increase chances of breaking, I have seen CVs break on Toyota trucks with only 1" lift. It took watching 4 CVs changeouts in the field before I finally bought a spare. Knock on wood...haven't had to change it yet, but I'm sure the day is coming. Just to be safe, I had a new set installed when my truck odo hit 110K.
 
Is the A-1 Cardone from Rockauto a good option? $44.99 + $100 core + shipping. I know the CV is a critical part and you don't want to go cheap/poor quality, but on the other hand, it's also a spare. Since it's reman, I'm thinking it might be good.

People who have gone with the AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto, or other aftermarket CVs have found they don't last long in day-to-day driving. The general rule of thumb is buy OEM. You might contact TRDparts4U and see if they'll give you a discount and deliver the Toyota CV to you at Jambo (they are a sponsor and will have a vendor booth set up).
 
Honestly, I've been riding on a pair of advanced auto cv's for a good while now and have had no issues out of them. Now remember, that's mostly daily driving. I'll almost guarantee I'll blow one at jambo. I've got 2 brand new spares though.

[MENTION=105266]vm_boy[/MENTION], how early are you planing on leaving friday?

I would like to make it there by 9am so I can participate in the beginner classes and then go on the beginner run at 10am. Google says it's a little over 2 hours, so that would put us at leaving around 6:45.

I still need to talk to the other guys that are going with me, but that would be my ideal.

Sounds pretty good its pretty much a strait shot on 20 just as long as theres no wrecks, that and i don't know if you've driven down there yet but there could possibly be speed traps on 20 even though its 75mph, i would know...
 
Almost done with my pre jambo mods for the year... Just completed the antman cup holder mod, but it turned it up a notch and put coozies on the underside.

It sounds like I am leaving Arlington about the same time as some of you on Friday. If you see me wave and I will be on channel 21.
