>>28018438We're off to a good start
sort of related since it's offroadmy 4wheeler just started having problems after do a mudrun all daythe front hydraulic brakes will not release and maintain pressure, so they lock up as soon as you use them. Only way to get them unfrozen is to open the bleeder.since it's both brakes i'm guessing it's a master cylinder problem, right?
>>28018467either you've got water/mud in the lines or your pistons are jammed up. probably want to disassemble the calipers and bleed the lines, mudding fucks up anything. bought a used Honda from someone before I knew better (had an ABS snorkle on it) and the diff was packed with mud.
>>28018473just tried bleeding the lines with new fluid, thought maybe water got inside. i'll blow the pistons out of the body this weekend and double check. they release fine once you open the bleeder so i'm not hopeful that they are just jammed up.
>>28018452Babies offroad too

You nigruhs got big enough tires
>>28018903god damn those tail lights make me sick
So tempting to put some dumb shit like this on the blazer.
>>28019141MR MAYHEM EPIC DOOD
>>28013794All good I called the bloke and they do. I just wanted to make sure I'm not stuck using poly bushings where I want articulation & comfort.
>>28018903How low could this cunts low range really be, talk about useless.
any Toyota guys have experience with putting 17s on old pickups?Have an 84 SR5 Xtracab and want that better off-road tire selection that 17s have. Seen a lot of conflicting opinions and most manufacturers don't show fitment for it. Just got done putting a 3in lift on it. Thinking a 33in tire.
>>28019357Go with skinnies on 16s, like 255/85r16. Really wide tires are too heavy for a lil 85 hilux
What stuff do you guys keep for offroading specifically. Ive got a shovel, snatch strap, d rings/soft shackles, and a jump box. In sure other things might come in handy but i feel like im covered for 90% of scenarios i have come across or been in.
>>2801935733x12.5r15
>>28019407tire selection for 15s is getting sparser every year>>28019396it's an SBC swap truck so should have plenty of power. Adaptor bell housing then all stock running gear.
looking into getting new tires because i had a puncture i patched up that even i am surprised is holding. i really wish there were more options in 255/85r16. probably going with the cooper discoverer ST Maxx. i dont really want to got 17" wheels.
>>28019402compressor (even a cheap and shitty one is better than nothing)tire chains if you're real nastyif you haswinch:tree saverline dampersnatch blockswinch extension rope (to fit snatch blocks)
>>28019357>>28019396So I was actually just looking and thinking of keeping the 15s and doing the Kenda Kleaver M/T2 629037, so a 33x9.50R15would look pretty rugged with all that sidewall. Gonna change the wheels though.
>>28019422>tire selection for 15s is getting sparser every yearI don't see that
Firestone's no name offshoot. Their highway tires held up but I never found info on their AT tires. They're made in korea apparently.
>>28020308Unless they are insanely cheap I don't get why people penny pinch and take risks with weird pseudo chink brands or stuff without any info. If they're super cheap you're probably getting something shitty too, so I just don't get the logic. You replace tires every 5-7 years, average out that cost per year and per month and usually it's pretty miniscule. Even if I only get 5 years out of my latest set of A/Ts it's like $40/month.
>>28020515I refuse to spend 2x what I bought my SUV for on tires
>>28020515>I don't understand why people cheap out on tires>replace them every 5 years maybe sooner depending on the miles and conditions you drive in
>>28020515I'd feel like a retard having expensive tires on my rust bucket pickup that's as old as me
>>28020567I guess, but if you trust the vehicle with your life you shouldn't let it boil down to some chink rubber that blows out and sends you head-on into a tractor trailer either.
>>28020574I wouldn't buy anything chinese, but suredrive isn't chinese.
>>28020577Research where the tires are made. I used to think if the company was American they were OK but realized even companies like BFG have some tires made in Thailand and China. It's why I bought Toyos, MADE IN JAPANU FROM SUPERIOR NIPPON RUBBERU
>>28019396I plan on getting 235/85r16 on 4" backspacing 16" wheels on my XJ. Not a big fan of my 31x10.5r15s with wheels using spacers
Well this Jeeps life is about done. I hear uncle Rodney start knocking at higher rpm.

>2020 LC with 100k miles: $55k>New LC: $60kWhat do
>>28022320Lucas oil stabilizer (the regular white bottle, it's the thickest) and pray.
>>28020574My USA made Goodyear's are starting to get sidewall bulges after not that many miles.
>>28022992Get a 4Runner pre-2023.
>>28023062>after not that many miles.how many and what did you do to cause that
>>28023065Probably 10k miles. A lot of offroading though. So much that the numbers are getting rubbed off of the sidewalls.They also never balanced quite right. But there were very cheap tires, so it's about what I expected. They are made in USA though and I think they just discontinued them.
>>28023070Wrong pic, my bad.
>>28023077>>28023070Are they Wranglers? That's the only AT Goodyear I'd trust. I've also heard people complain about BFG KO2s not balancing properly, even after extensive road-force balancing attempts. Given the low frequency of these complaints I'm inclined to think it's either a one-off/bad tire or it's something to do with the specific vehicle. Anecdotally I had a pair of 10 ply KO2s last 7 years and over 100,000km so I just can't say anything bad about them (except the price is too high now). I've got Toyo AT3s now, will be very interested to see how the nips shape up and particularly in the winter. Curious if your tires are P series or LT series?
>>28023218Had a friend with KO2's and he joked that one of his wheels was "up armored"- the retarded tech puts rim weights halfway around.
>>28023218They're the ancient "Wrangler Radials" that they used to put on late 80s/early 90s jeeps from the factory. See picrel.Yeah had em' "road force balanced" by some Mexican teenager at discount tire lmao. Did nothing but I'm sure it was incompetence.
>>28023595Love me a yj
>>28023218Picture reminds me of colorado.
>>28023595kek I think your tire issues were more because of the fact that they're decades old tires and not necessarily their place of origin
no idea where to ask so I'll try hereis $10k for a 91 D250 too much?I'm unsure because I know turbodiesels are "desireable"I really want a 4x4 because I'm surrounded by mountains and I'd like to go up them.
>>28023808Not necessarily, depends on the mileage and condition. Dieselniggers are notorious for abusing their trucks and letting them rot so you will want to go over it with a fine tooth comb before making an offer in any case.
>>28023707Well, they were brand new tires. Just an old design. But yeah I didn't expect much. Heep needed tires and these were like 70 bucks each from Walmart on black friday sale. Next set will be some real ATs.
>>28023871>$70 eachholy shit I didn't know you could any tires that cheap, the new wheel/tire for my wheel barrow was like $45.
>>28023853it's sat for 2 years according to the post. it's some brownoid kid who linked his instagram in the listing. I checked it out and it's full of videos of him doing burnouts and donuts in the truck.
>>28023882don't touch it. rule #1 never buy anything from brownoids, ever.
>>28023875Yeah they were wicked cheap, cheaper than trailer tires. Couldn't pass up the deal. They're not bad aside from the sidewall bulge though. Probably just move the bulging tire to the spare and run em.
>>28023882Wow sounds like a great deal anon. Probably already wired for some sick subwoofers.
These turned out to be not so good. Going back to regular OEM style rubber sway bushings.
>>28025774what don’t you like abou them
>>28025774I've heard they ride rougher but last a lot longerwhat was your experience?also that they have to be specifically lubed on install or you get the squeaks

>>28025784Either coat with antiseize compound on install or drill&tap for a Zirk fitting.The antiseize will last an incredible long time (think about how hard that shit is just to wipe off your hands).
>>28025862HYB>>28025883dunes are cool and all but it sure takes its toll on the bikes cooling while riding on those trees areas
>>28026075look at you being a respectful young man to all the other trailgoers, well done Anon.
>>28026255It's like a squirrel that climbed the fence into the lion cage.
>>28025783>>28025784The polyurethane white grease doesn't last long, you drive through a few puddles and they start creaking like a motherfucker.Also, the bushings in the bottom of the end links that attack to the axle mounts grab onto the nut and loosen it over time. Didn't have that problem with the rubbers. Suppose I could toss a big ol washer down there.
>>28027694Honestly thinking about just saying fuck it and taking the front sway off, and throwing on some "police package" shocks to keep the wallowing down a bit.
>>28022320RIP Liberty. What's the mileage on it?
>>28026255yeah...gotta respect, u never know when you might need some help
made a drag out of some rail ties and random wood laying around the propertytowed it with the 4 cylinder jeep for like 20 min until it started spewing steam from under the hood lmao
>>28028667test pull and before pic
>>28028670after jeep is legit a farm tractor, works amazing for pulling sage brush and pulling the drag (long as you let it cool a bit)
>>28028479Few things make me feel better than helping someone broke down/stuck/whatever on the trail.
>>28028678>only White people thingsIt's crazy how I can be lost at Glamis and stop by a random bonfire to ask for directions, be handed a beer and pointed in the right direction.Meanwhile if you walk down a street in Compton wearing the wrong color you'll get shot.Get hit by a car in Beijing and 500 people will walk past you as you bleed out.
>>28027786Should be right around 200k ish. Speed sensor was out in it for a while so it wasn't recording miles.
>>28029332a bunch of drunk guys in a pair of square bodies saved my ass when I got stuck out in the sticks once
>>28030064My uncle spun out on an onramp in the rain and wound up in the grass.Before he even got out some old white dude had pulled up and was hooking up a strap to pull him back onto asphalt. Guy must have been right behind him.
>>28022992You're not gonna be offroading either one at that price point.But I'd go 2020, it's an actual derivative of a true Landcruiser, the new Landcruiser is just a rebadged Prado.
>>28023882Don't do it, I'm a brownoid myself and wouldn't buy a car from another brownoid, I know how we are.
>>28030064god bless drunk hicks they are truly God's soldiers
ive not touched my free envoy denali in 6 months, tossed around lots of options, iron 5.3, gen 3 computer swap, 6.5 diesel, sbc, 4200, 2.9 atlas, 4.3, 3.9, ecotec, turbos, i have finally settled on something for a month or so without changing my mind. We're getting a gen 4 6.0 block, putting a 408 scat crank in it, putting our topend on it with a truck norris cam, rebuilding our 4l60e with some goodies and swapping a 2wd tailshaft, and junking every bit of the 4wd front endim not against trails but we dont have em, it snows 2 weeks out of the year, and the gmt360 4wd system sucks absolute balls, im going to build a mall crawler and there's nothing any of you can do about it
>>28030504What swaps have you done in the past?
>>28030621i put a 273 into a chrysler 300 before, that was fun, but i am looking for a more polished result. everything in the gmt360 just sucks ass and its better as a 2wd. most of those swaps involve re-using factory mounting of some sort or improving engine bay space, because with the factory setup it sucks
>>28030621>273 into a chrysler 300that's funny as hell and mayhaps even based.
>>28030643>everything in the gmt360seems like buying a different vehicle would be easier and probably cheaper
>>28030643>i put a 273 into a chrysler 300making the 300 actually good rofl

Long time lurker, first time posterHow many of you daily your off-roaders? I'm looking into this hobby. I live in the Midwest US. I have a lot of capital (ER doc). I recently went on a trip abroad and do some offroading / over landing and had a ton of fun. So now I'm looking at options here. Ideally I'd like to have a vehicle I could daily but also take off the road. As I'm in the Midwest I have concerns about buying used rust buckets so I'd likely lean something newer. I'm actually thinking a new land cruiser or 4runner. I also tested a ranger raptor but it seems a bit much. Would I be a dipshit out there with the land cruiser?
I have a Chevrolet S10 from 89. It's been sitting in the garage since forever. I don't know cars and asking around shops a LS swap is around 5k for the engine and all the work, a bit more than expected. Any other recommendations? I just want it to carry around some tools and visit family in the mountains.
>>28032099Don't waste your money on an expensive new car just to offroad it. If you're an ER Doctor you have plenty of money, spend $40k on a used 4Runner and modify it. You'll get something that's only a few years old so it has plenty of life left, good reliability, fantastic 4.0L engine, and a shitload of aftermarket parts to customize it whatever way you need. Don't get old crusty shit unless you're dangerously poor, like the resident cumguzzler furfag. He will tell you to buy disgusting shitboxes, but he's gay and a furry so obviously ignore him.Trucks are inferior to SUVs when offroading. 4Runners have IFS and a SRA which makes them ideal as a light daily driver and decent offroader. Sort of a compromise, but for 99% of offroading a SFA is not necessary. Identify exactly what you want to do and modify accordingly. Don't just jump to throwing steel bumpers front and back + 3" lift + roof rack + winch + 200lbs of LED lights if you're not going to be living out of the car 6 months a year. I DD my froader but less now than in the past. I have 2 other cars that I use for grocery getting. Adding mods to your froader will cut gas mileage down and make it heavier/handle worse on paved surfaces. There's no perfect combination, the more you prep it for froading the worse it will be on paved roads. Remember that you're modifying things for practical purposes, not mallcrawling and Insta likes. *I'm going to refrain from saying what I froad to avoid future drama from the petulant niggers that sometimes inhabit this thread.
>>28032108Is the frame intact? Is the rest of the vehicle in decent shape? Considering the truck has been sitting for ages, you can basically say it hasn't cost you anything. So for $5,000 you have a truck with a virtually brand new engine (not sure if it's a rebuild or new crate engine you're considering) that will let you haul stuff and get to difficult locations. $5k isn't that much considering a new shitty base model SIilverado or F150 is over $40k.
>>28032114>Trucks are inferior to SUVs when offroadingtalk shit get hit
>>28032128>heavier>higher breakover angle>poor departure angle>poorer visibility overall>thirstier on gas Trucks are better for "overlanding" or touring around. As soon as you start getting into low and tight trails their shortcomings show up, even just making turns around trees means 3-4 point turns vs. an SUV having no issue navigating it.
>>28032120Yeah it's in great shape other than the engine, at some point 20 years ago my uncle put a V6 engine of another car in there but i'ts been sitting since it began having issues like 10 years ago. This is in Mexico so it's 5k here for a used (rebuild) engine and the installation. But new trucks are just as expensive around 40k
>>28032137Get the rebuilt engine if it's a trustworthy shop getting a properly rebuilt engine. $5k isn't too bad, I'm in Canada and you'd pay some faggots $10k to put an engine in up here.
>>28032132oberlandan and farting around are exactly what the good doc wants to do>austin powers turns on a trailgay. just lock the diff and mash it
>>28032159I like your Tundra but I've had nothing but bad experiences with 90% of the trucks that use the trails around me. It's always dipshits in brotrucks with 10" Rough Country lifts and 22" wheels getting stuck and blocking the trailer, or it's tards in commercial trucks that weight 8,000lbs sinking into puddles and - yes - blocking trails for everyone. I've also noticed trucks NEVER move over on trails, even when they have space, the drivers always just expect everyone to drive half into the trees so they can stay 100% on the trail. Ignorant behavior like that leaves me with a salty attitude, especially when they fuck up and expect me to help dig them out or cut down trees to make room for their dumb ass F550 hydro truck. You get a pass for running an OG Tundra and keeping it going too. my god I want to shoot down those hot air balloons with a TAC50
>>28032114>Don't get old crusty shit unless you're dangerously poorKek seething, I’ve spent more of a couple axles than you spent in your entire rig

>>28032425oops forgot to add the third >>>>/k/62675008the lights come with HID pods inside, I don't like HID because they take a full minute to become full brightness and they are less efficient than LEDalso the ballasts in these are designed for 24 volt military vehicles so they won't work on a normal truck anyways

>>28032490He could swap in a 5.4 for cheaper
>>28032099If I had access to the scratch that you do, I would consider a few different paths.1.>buy a decent 4x4 on the used market and offroad that as a non daily driver2.>amass a garage full of tools to build a dedicated off-roader that you would truck and trailer to the trails3. (what I would do with doctor money)Go on RaceDezert and buy a nicely built rig
>>28032495>RaceDezertLooking at the classifieds right now. Some crazy (expensive) builds on here.
>>28032486would have to be a boost converter and a boost converter that can handle 100 watts might be kinda pricey but idk there might be some chinkshit ones on eBay for cheapI don't like the HID though because they take so long to reach full brightness, the instant on of the LEDs is really nice also they consume less power so I can use a standard 3 pin deutsch connector without overloading it's current capacity
>>28032099Bord Fronco
>>28032529kek, over stressed turbo engine hauling around that pigfat vehicle = recipe for disaster. i'd be surprised if many of those engines make it past 100k
>>28032099I do. Being honest, as much as I do adore my jeep it's kind of hell to daily if it's still got some niggles. I have a winter beater but that, too, also sucks. I wouldn't consider you a dipshit for having a new LC, they're formidable dailies as they are off roaders
>>28032507success >>28032635what's ur winter beater?can you post a pic of it i wanna see it
>>28032696oops made that post from my new garage Thinkpad
>>28032696I was thinking about picking one of these up, but I don't want to put holes in my roof. How deep into the housing do the IR lights go?
>>28032743you can see here how deep the IR part is >>28032437there's 2 versions of the light, one the IR part is shallowerthis is the deeper oneit's like 2 in roughly
>>28032747>>>>28032437Oh, hell yeah. Thanks, man.
>>28032748here's both styles, you can't really pick which one you get, it's luck of the draw I prefer the shorter thinner ones, they're lighter and look cleaner
>>28032749You get 'em off ebay or somewhere else?
>>28032769Yeah ebay The latest ones are in a crunchy water soaked cardboard box, I think it’s the bottom of the pallet
>>28032708Ya sure dude.You're getting pretty sloppy with the samefagging recently.
>>28032178>NEVER move over on trails,Hmmm. Wonder if they want to stay on the trail because they weigh 8000 lbs? Maybe the swab jeep should yield and stop crying like a faggot for needing to go in the trees in a vehicle that's dramatically easier to do so without damage.
>>28032797>still seethingkek, you can literally see the new laptop in this photo>>28032460I loaded solid works and fusion 360 on it, we are going hard out here now>>28032635hey can you post your jeep and winter vehicle, I'd like to see your setup >>28032696I asked here but you never replied
>>28032804>I took all these pics with my phone but then stopped doing that and took 1 pic with my laptop and posted it then went back to posting pics from my phone...
>>28032842I take every pic with my phone then upload it to telegram to resize it and get it onto my desktop before postingI like my images to be low res in case I include a bar code or piece of mail in the background or somethingit makes it high res enough to see what I'm doing but low res enough to where people can't dox me if im drunk and sloppy
>>28032844>I was in a thread and posted a dozen pics from my phone but then I decided to sit down at my laptop, goto 4chan, find the thread, post a single picture, then go back to phone posting....In a tweaker's mind this sounds legit.

>>2803348999% of my posts are from my MacBook, the one without a trip is from my new thinkpad, I’m trying to get solid works installed on it and it’s being a bitch
Had a fuel tank venting issue on the Heep, so I dropped it to install new vent valves. While I had the tank out figured I'd double check that I had the new fuel pump seated correctly and it was in fact not seated correctly. There's a little metal bowl that the rubber stopper that the end of the return line is supposed to sit in. The way I had it the return line was just dragging on the bottom of the tank. Fixed that shit, got it in properly, and the fuel pump runs so much quieter/better.Fuckin' stoked homies. Also threw in a WIX fuel filter to replace the 2 dollar band ding ow filter. She's running so much happier now with proper fueling.
>>28032635I wonder if this person is ever gonna post their jeep and winter beater, how odd
Also a knee grow got himself a switch for the aux e-fan. It's hella tieeght. Can just flip that beeotch when I'm bout to get hyphy climbing up dem steep hills an shit. You know a nigga climbs like muuuggg.
>>28033579He will when his step dad let's him take pics of it
>>28033580mahnigga.jpg
>>28033580Wow man nice, you installed a fan?I bet this dude is having overheating issues and installed a fan to try and fix itAn XJ 4.0 tale as old as time itself
>>28033592*Manual switch for the existing e-fan.The stock setup has the fan kick on once the coolant temp reaches something like 218 degrees. On a hot day wheeling, that's too high in my opinion, so I wanted control over when the fan turns on. It's a very common mod. Works great. The stock e-fan is a good fan, it's just programmed to come on when it's already a little too hot.
>>28033614>218 degreesI would assume this is actually closer to 190°. 218° would be high to start cooling.
>>28033625Yeah it is too high. But that's what it is. The mechanical clutch fan does 90% of the work, but the aux e-fan is there to kick on only when the A/C is on, or when temp reaches 218. That's why people install switches. They say they did that shit for emissions reasons so the e-fan wouldn't kick it out of open loop by cooling it too much.
>>28033614Why would you bother modding a jeep when the axles of an Xterra are stronger and better?The jeep should be your winter beater and you should get a stronger body on frame vehicle like an Xterra that also has stronger front and rear axles then a jeep XJYou’re wasting your time man, just buy an Xterra it’s better Some dude on here used to always argue with me about it, he even had chatGPT prove him right
>>28033635Bro you just posted cringe.
>>28033631>mechanical clutch fan does>aux e-fanOh I didn't realize there were 2 fans that worked independently of each other
>>28033640Cringe is owning a XJ when you could be driving the vastly superior Xterra, dude argued for days about how much better than a jeep it is, even ChatGPT said he was right Then he got a jeep XJ and he stopped posting his Xterra even though it’s better in every wayIt’s so weird man
>>28033641Yeah they got a normal mechanical clutch in there, and an auxillary e-fan that's there as a kind of fail-safe.
>>28033643Man you take this shit real seriously eh
>>28033643Doesn't the XJ have a solid front axle, while the Nissan is IFS? For rock crawling, wouldn't the XJ be the better platform to build?
>>28033649He took it extremely seriously, he still posts his XJ constantly and we never see the Xterra anymore despite it being better in every wayI have no idea why this could be, it’s really odd>>28033652There’s no way it’s better, he argued for days that the M205 and the rear axle are both stronger than a Dana 44 and ChatGPT said that he was right He really knows what he’s talking about obviously, I’m just wondering why he never posts the Xterra anymore despite it being a stronger body on frame truck with stronger axles and Japanese reliability
>>28033663Bro it might be time to take break just sayin
>>28033668Take a break from what? I’m just wondering what happened to that guy
>>28033668Bro ot might be time you posted your rig
>>28033673What set ya off big dawg, wanna talk about it?
>>28033689Set off?I don't get itAnyways, I made a drill jig to perfectly drill the holes needed for my adapter plates Works perfectly
>>28033714like a glove
Knew it was him obsessing over a tripfag. Kek
>>28033725I seriously do not understand why he abandoned the superior platform for an inferior oneI really do not get it, it's obvious that the body on frame vehicle with jap reliability and axles stronger than a dana 44 from the factory stock is a better vehicle than a old ass XJ
>>28033673The whole ass site maybe? How many posts are you up to today? 30? 40?
>>28033745Cute yami. Should post on dbt
>>28033745oh based a PW80 was my first motorcycleI had to get stitches in my hand after crashing on it one time and another time the shifter cut my leg open in a crash loved the fuck out of that thing until I upgraded to a KTM 525
>>28033714Don't fuckin' lie dood. I come in here and see you responding to some trolls rage bait, and now you're acting all pissy like a bitch on the rag. Been nothing but civil with you now since months.
>>28033766What troll?I literally do not see any trolls
>>28033766Look how much power he has over you. :p
>>28033766Compulsive liars get very defensive when they get caught.Then its more lies to cover the previous bullshit and more frustration as they hope their new excuses are enough to be believable and keep the charade going.It's a viscous circle that's usually followed directly by deflection to change the subject- like a magician that gets you to focus on one hand while the other is performing the trick.
>>28033825You’ve never posted a single example of a lie I’ve said Every post I’ve ever made is archived, go ahead and do it kek
>>28033843quote the troll posts

You homos gonna post fag gossip all day or what.
>>28018438Do you guys have any recommendations for relatively inexpensive All Terrain/Mud Terrain tire brands that have better tread life than Cooper?
>>28033889Post something cool
>>28033419The end result of fixing a free car can be more than buying what you needed in the first place.
>>28033879I try to enjoy /org/ but the subhuman filth decided to turn it into his own personal blog and force us all to witness his decadent life.I remember when Lemon Valley only had houses on 2 streets and I could ride my 3 wheeler for hours. It's a small world.
>>28033905it would be very cheap to put a gen 3 in it and nigger rig the harness, but i already decided i want it simpler and more fun with the gen 4 408, the car is in great shape, i got to drive it before i tore it apart and the transmission will be a good core, 4x4 and ac work, no cel or problems with electronics, the front end is just an awful clusterfuck of a design that GM rightfully redesigned in '08 for the H3 and colorado, being 2wd will solve many future problems, the truck only needs an engine
>>28033998You really let him him have all that power over your
>>28033998I’ve been here longer than you so yeah cope about it
>>28032696chrysler 300. it runs, but against its will>>28032804>hey can you post your jeep I just haven't posted the rig here in a while, last I posted her was at that tagged up warehouse in boulder city
My Snord Cronbo is shipped. Anyone wanna hit Northwest OHV Park for Halloween? I'll give you a tug or a yank if you need it, and also pull your truck out
>>28034511Oh hey the Vegas furry
>>28034531I've posted about it a few times since, but she's got her new long block in and she's running great. I'm saving up some to take care of her tie rod and drag link here soon. The niggles make her annoying, but it doesn't mean I hate to daily her
>>28034541>new long blocklmao whyalso, went out and took pics of the aurora tonight, it was epic as fuck
>>28034945video of the pillars
>>28034948oh wait that's the one where there's like shockwave looking waves that propagate outwards, this one is the pillars
>>28034945I was right underneath it, so it was just red all on one side of the sky and green on the other.
>>28034955holy shit that sounds epic im jellyit was bright enough red that the entire sky was glowing to the eye so I was impressed never seen that before
I thought there was a Toyota general up but I guess I’ll ask here. There’s a 1989 Toyota SR5 4x4 with the 3.0 V6. It’s got almost 400k miles and he’s asking $5k. I read about the head gasket issues on this motor, but then also read that they’re overblown. I can’t modify the exhaust to help fix the problem because California. I also can’t do the recommended swap to a 3.4L from a Tacoma because California. Thoughts? Is it worth the risk? Can I just change the head gasket and drive it like that?
>>28035758nigger listen to yourself you are buying a clapped out 400k mi truck for 5 grandgo do something more productive with your money, like leaving CA
>>28035758My friend had 2 3.0 second gen 4Runners and both blew head gaskets and both got like 12mpg while being slow as fuck
>>28035792all the jdm v6 trucks have like a 4-5:1 final drive and spin the piss out of wheezy 160hp v6's, i dont see the appeal of that over the 4cyl / domestic options
>>28035790I was gonna offer 4k, no biggie if he doesn’t take itAlso I don’t know why you retards always say “leave California” as if it’s that easy to move houses and change jobsIt’s literally just a pointless statement and if I did actually move you’d be bitching about muh transplants etc.
>>28035876life isnt easy, and everyone is going to give you shit for it. its obvious you arent man enough to leave CA, go blow your money on some garbage
>>28035918>man enough to leaveLmfaoThe things you cucks tell yourselves to feel better
I think I'm at the "light at the end of the tunnel" phase
>>28035876California native here.Left awhile ago.Yes, it is that easy.
>>28036209Nta, but in cali for work right now. I don't miss being here.
>>28036152The light at the end of the trans tunnel
>>28036152It never fuckin' ends. It's part of the deal with keeping an old truck on the road. If it's not one thing it's another. But it's better than the alternative so it's worth it.
>>28036122im from tennessee, west of nashville. when all of your pussy fag friends invaded and made clarksville a gridlocked lgbt celebrating hellhole i left, i sold my house, left what was left of my family behind, left vehicles and projects behind, and found a new middle of nowhere to die in, and i never bitched about it, if pussy fags want to complain about 'their town' being ruined and cry a river, great, enjoy your miserable new neighbors, not my problemi do feel better since i left being around the all of you, so thanks
What are the best off road tires on a budget? I need 31s for my Ranger, I see a lot of budget brands on Walmart like RBP, Accelera and Lexani that are in my price range and look pretty aggressive but I have never heard of them so I don't know if they're any good.I won't be doing rock crawling, but I want it to be good for badly maintained logging roads and going up hills in snow or mud without fishtailing and getting stuck.
>>28036626Honestly it doesn't really matter all that much. Just get whatever's on sale that has some decent tread lugs.
>>28036571didn't read, keep seething
>>28036626I like the wrangler authority from Walmart, they're good cheap light AT tires I had some on my Toyota and they were solid tires, that or some Patagonias but those are horrendous visually
>>28034945>lmao whycylinder #4 decided to commit suicide and took the block out with it, so I picked up an 98 engine and went back to stock
Cool truck talk

>>28039609They were still seen on the road daily when I was a kid.Such a shame, always wanted one.
Ain't it just like a real ass hood nykkuh to roll up at the Wac Arnold's with a custom ass bespoke paint job n sheeit. All them drive threw shawtys was tryna git on it but I said no cuh a nykkuh got thangs to do.
>>28039609they sucked, be glad they're gone
>>28032460decided fuck that laptop it's too weak for doing CAD work and the screen is too small, got dual monitors off prime day and set up a new desktop in the garagethis shit feels good as hell just gotta order the epoxy coating for the floor and paint the walls and this room is gonna be sick
>>28041788>epoxy coating for the floorI did a deep dive on this a couple of years ago. Long story short, they all start to chip over time, especially if you actually use the garage. The prep work has to be immaculate. You have to double what the manufacturer recommends to get a halfway decent result, so the costs are twice of what is anticipated. You should consider an alternative like picrel.
what do you guys think of modern 'off roaders'? the new land cruiser has disconnecting sway bars and lockers from factory, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
>>28041790yeah im renting a shot blaster for the floor from sunbelt rentals and im spending like 1k on the epoxy, professional epoxy with full flake not sparse flakes it should last around 20 or 30 years especially considering there will be no hot tire pick up in this rooman epoxy primer with flake then 2 part polyaspartic top coat will basically be indestructible https://concretefloorsolutions.com/store/epoxy-floor-kits/250-sq-ft-complete-epoxy-flake-floor-kit/

>>28041800I think it's cool, as well as the new GX550.Hell I think it's awesome we get the raptor ranger in the US nowBut the reality is 99% of these vehicles will never see mud. Maybe the raptor will. I do need a truck...
why do muddies on lifted sedans make my pp hard bros? the look on wanker boomer and normies with 4wds on the trails and beaches when my shitbox rwd goes blasting past like a dune buggy is hilariouswill take pics when i get 31's to fit

>>28042670I want to hate this, but I admire your enthusiasm and it looks like something that might accidentally wind up being fun.
>>28041800>>28042414It's cool how they are taking heavy BOF offroaders and giving them tiny over worked turbocharged engines that are already plagued with problems. If there's one thing offroaders love to do its abandon their $80,000 vehicle on a trail because it threw a rod or the turbo blew itself up, only to come back and find all the windows smashed and their shit stolen. Personally I love catastrophic powertrain failures when I'm in a remote area without cell service, it puts my safety in jeopardy and also increases the likelihood of my disabled vehicle being vandalized as it's not repairable on the trail. I think we can all agree that having a vehicle with a ton of electronics and more complicated engine is a good thing, particularly when it's difficult or impossible to call for a tow truck. I also love mass migration and vaccines. Just fuck my shit up everyone I'm a faggot.
>>28043253We're currently in a new malaise era where all vehicles are crippled by retarded regulations and gobermint mandates.It won't last forever though. They'll start making good shit again at some point when people have finally had enough.
>>28043326>at some point when people have finally had enough.grim
>>28043253>I think we can all agree that having a vehicle with a ton of electronics and more complicated engine is a good thingthat's why I diesel swapped my trucks, no computers, no electronics like fuel pumps to break, entirely mechanical without a single need for electricity at all, manual transmissions etccuts the amount of points of failure by like 90%
>>28043819>ALL MANUELSThis is the way to go. I regret having an autotragic, 3/4 of the problems I've had with it are tranny cooler lines leaking.

>>28045613lmao where have you been nigga Toyota has fucked their own shit up for the last 12 months
>>28045629Why though? Are there any new vehicles that aren’t overpriced shit?
>>28045481Nah. The original rubber flooring disintegrated when i lifted it up. i bought new sheet metal, carpet, and door seals for the cab. doors and front fenders are still rotted, yet functional.
>>28045613>wouldn’t mind living in tacoma>famously reliable small city >look at tacoma in 2024>tweakers>as expensive as Seattle >liberal
>>28045629>12 months
>>28045653Largely due to changing legislation making it impossible or cost-prohibitive to sell their older gasoline vehicles with larger displacement engines. Plus they'll be left behind in the wake of the normie ECO WAVE of nufag cars that get +30mpg. But since Toyota is only good at finding something and slowly refining it for decades, not innovating and producing amazing hits right out of the gate, they have shit the bed.There are some who claim it was intentional; that the design defects were a form of corporate espionage designed to attack their most profitable makes. Same accusation was levied in the mid 2000s when they had failed piston seals on their 2.4L engines. The likely culprit is just jewish decision making and penny pinching.
>>28045696This is depressing. >>28045683Kek

>>28046550meh. those pickups aren't great with a heavy engine up front. kinda ruins them.should just build a square body
>>28046891It'll be fine. Just use a lightweight bumper and no winch up front to offset some of the weight gain. Could run a rear winch instead of you need one.

At least then I could probably meet people into offroading and other activities I like
