    Is there a go to online source for Genuine Toyota parts?

    I used to use Camelbak but the shipping charges are above average in my experience. I’ve been using McGeorge Toyota on the East Coast for a few years. The delivered price always seems to be a little less. There are a couple international (UAE) options that have the cheapest shipped prices but...

    So the 4Runner has been driven 1-2 times a week since getting the Tacoma a couple months ago. Battery was dead the other day so knowing I might run across this issue more often I picked up a Noco GB50 jump pack. These things are awesome! Started up instantly with no hesitation. Definitely...

    #fucktw and useless bullshit

    Yeah this site is pretty damn slow traffic wise but it’s got its appeal, especially for people not interested in heavy moderation

    #fucktw and useless bullshit

    Same. I just picked up a 2016 Tacoma and don’t know much about them so there’s some good info for dummies like me. Lots of dumpster fire posts and too many sensitive personalities. Otherwise, I’ve always used TW for the classifieds and check in on the Long Travel section.

    Knife Talk

    I thought about sending it in under warranty but the shipping cost to get it there is as much as a couple replacement springs on Amazon. Placed an order yesterday and I’ll have them later today actually!

    Knife Talk

    My mini Bugout (work knife) made it 2.5 years and today the axis lock springs gave out. One was broke in half and the other one was cracked and barely in 1 piece. OTOH, I’ve no problems with my mini Griptilian, which I’ve had longer but as an EDC. It doesn’t get opened nearly as much as my work...

    CV Boots cracking yearly

    Inner boots the only ones you’re having problems with? Have you done the boot slide mod?

    CV Boots cracking yearly

    I take it you’re throwing on aftermarket boots every year? OEM boots are known for having much better quality rubber than aftermarket. It sounds like it’s worth the extra cost. Rebooting axles aren’t a fun job.

    Here we go again....

    I remembered commenting on this recently and had taken this photo of my cargo vent after a Big Bear run last month. Looks like I’m due for a replacement myself. You can see that it’s only accumulating in the corner near the vent.

    Agreed! If I did’t already have a decent fork coil styled one I’d consider picking this one up.

    Anyone in the market for a wall mounted Branick spring compressor? They don’t sell this cheap too often. I saw this one on OfferUp for $300 in Riverside Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/Ew0ySUhDfDb

    LT99 Bandaid Thread

    Depending on your timeline to throw those coilovers in the rear and notch the frame, I wouldn't even bother with the sheet metal and up travel with those Ranchos and factory bump stops. Assuming you weren’t ever throwing coilovers at the rear, I think it’s easier to add a small bump extension...

    Electronic hobbies and discussion

    I had a cricket keeper with water bites and cricket food when I owned a Bearded Dragon. Those things died steadily no matter what. I always tried to keep it from being overcrowded which caused higher casualties so I’d buy 20+ crickets from LLL Reptile, feed my dragon up to like a dozen and put...

    Here we go again....

    I haven’t messed with door seals, but how sure are you that the dust is getting in through those seals specifically? I ask because the rear cabin vent is a common area that dust gets in when the rubber flap starts to disintegrate. It’s like a check valve of sorts because it allows cabin air...

    Snorkeling and Scuba Diving Discussion

    Pony bottles are really more ideal for really deep dives if you want to carry it for insurance. They’re just not needed for shallower dives (lets say under 50ft). I used to carry a Spare Air on a carabiner attached to my BCD after I got certified because I was paranoid I’d need it but eventually...

    4Runner re? build

    You dodged a bullet on that test drive! What spring rate are you running up front?

    4Runner re? build

    I’d say the only real reason you may want reservoirs is to run compression adjusters, if that’s even something you’d be interested in. I have no personal experience with them, so no help there.

    4Runner re? build

    My 3rd gen 4Runner JD fab kit tops out at the UCA uniball when drooped. That’s with running the Anonymous Fab LBJ uniball conversion. I’m missing out on some up travel for sure with where/ how my c/o’s are mounted on the shock tower. Only getting just over 12” drooped to bump basically metal to...
