Ah I gotcha. That makes complete sense.

 

thats the one funny thing about toyota they were to lazy to change there keys

like mine looks like my buddys 95 4runner key

 

tell your dad to try to lift a ifs 12 inches and a solid axcle 12 inches and see how good it works out then throw 40's on it. then ask him wich one will hold up in the mud. i personally have seen ifs trucks in a mud bog when each tire was pionting in a different direction. soild axcle equals toughness....at least in my book. but i guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.

 

I totally agree, me pappy still thinks there is an upside to IFS. I am still going to do an SAS, but I have to put it off for a while.

 

I have interesting problem here. Today, while haulin a$$ down the hiway, my oil light came on. I pulled over, popped the hood and checked the oil. Oil was where it always is. So from there I looked at where the oil sensor is, right there below the oil filter, and it isn't even plugged in. I noticed that it shuts off and comes back on when I hit bumps and holes on the road. Short maybe?

 

I figured out the oil light problem. There is a cut wire where the oil sensor used to hook up. There is no longer a plug and the bare wire was gounding out on the block. Easy fix. It scared me there for a minute. I also figured out why the horns don't work any more. There is a flint like thing on a spring that is worn out. It is suppoda make contact with a grounding plate. It looks like it is meant to wear out. Now that I fixed the horn, I hate the way it sounds. Sooooo, I am going to find a horn from an F350 and wire it up.

 

My batarded, fullsize rig loving buddy does not seem to think that a toy dont need too much lift to clear 33's. He would like to think that I need 6 inches of lift. I pretty sure not.

 

No way! 33's would fit with a 4" lift easy.. Maybe mud flap removal

 

33s can fit stock

 

agreed, 81... i fit em on my 90 4runner no problems...

 

Thats pretty much what I told him. Hes just jealous cuz he drives a Heep and a 1/2 ton Dodge PU. I told him to trade em in on a Toy. Needless to say this Chrystler fan got pissed off and quit talking to me.


We got back from a smallish outing this wknd. Twas awesome. Had a few ghostie experiences, really. Otherwise overall good. Wasn't the outing I had planned but my dad and I had fun in my truck. Pics will follow soon!!

 

A little felx, not much.

I thought this would be a good pic

Zoomed in a little

Been riding Middle fork out of tiger road.. Still getting stuck at this one point about 3 miles up.. Need better 4wd tires.

 

I havn't been up there in a looong time. The snow is still pretty deep everywhere. We were going to do Grizzly Lake but the snow was too deep. We are going back up to Bross this week to do some more looking around, smore wheelin, and some gold prospecting.

 

I am going to commit to starting a wheelin club here in Colorado. It aint gona be a strictly Toy club, eventhough it should be. Any in Colorado who sees this is welcome to join.

 

Mmmmmmmmmmkay, well I think that I want a camper shell. I can haul more gear and sleep in it. I kinda want one that looks like a 4Runner top, but it don't really matter.

 

wow those are SOME antennas you got there!

 

heck yeah!! I get alot of looks, most people like em. I like it cuz its different, don't see too many people runnin dual 8.5 ft whips.

 

theres a reason for that...

 

Pretty Much. I ran one 8.5 on our 85 and it just looked kinda outta place and goofy. So this time I wanted to run two. I like 'em. I may relocate them to the rear bumper when I put on the camper shell.
