BTW, I'd like to replace all the front bushings (the truck squeaks and creaks as the front goes over speed bumps). Does anyone know if there's a kit I can buy? I see a couple of Energy Suspension sets but they show options for 18mm and 25mm, I'm not sure exactly which ones I have.

Haven't posted an update in a while that's because I haven't done anything else to it except I fixed the horn that never really worked right by replacing the brass pin in the steering column stock behind the steering wheel. I searched for the part# all over for a while so if anyone else needs it it's:

Toyota part# 84312-20011 (it comes with the pin, spring and the little circlip).

The weather was nice today and there's a popular trail not too far from my house. It's almost boring in my 4x4 Nissan but when it hasn't rained hard the trail is really just a hard packed fire road even cars drive on it going slow. It does have a few spur trails that are 4x4 only but today I decided to take the little 2wd yota there for its first time since purchase.

Some parts of the trail were fairly rutted due to the on/off rains in the past couple of weeks but I had the ground clearance for it...unlike the Tesla I saw (but she parked it before the rutted areas started).





Lots of built trucks out too:

The truck handled it just fine as expected, the ride could be better but given how I've maxed out the torsion bars and have an AAL in the back I really can't complain. I actually felt the truck rode nicer on the return trip (4 mile long one-wayl). Regardless, it's not my 4x4 toy- I was just curious how it would do on a mild trail

I had a set of mud and snow tires on the back of mine and as long as I kept it moving, I was surprised at how well they do off road.
