Maybe the blazer is easier. It went really smooth for me as an advanced wrenchlet. My only issue was not realizing that I needed an updated bracket, so I had to run to the parts store halfway through. AI said mechanics charge $450-700 labor for this job.

attaching a cast-iron transfer case to a transmission might be the most difficult auto endeavour i've done yet.
the offset round bottom makes it so a transmission jack won't work as intended.
i raised it with the jack and lines up the splines. then i slung 2 ratchet straps across the frame to hold up the case and slowly lowered the jack until the offset portion started to drop, and the bolt holes lined up

This is what happens to huwyte "women".

You want to pick the babby-faced ones, at least initially, because the cartilaginous parts of the face (and hands like knuckles) are responsive to Growth Whoremoan and continue growing throughout one's lifespan, even when bones stop growing in adulthood. Thus why old people have big long ears and shit. All women are basically on an unstoppable march towards Goblinification.

finally got the drivetrain back in this bitch
need to lower the idle and check the fluid when it's hot
test drive drove it around the block and the np203, which i didn't molest at all, popped into neutral when the truck went over the transition bump from the road to the alley
>>
>>28817335
Im willing to bet the 203 is fine and its a linkage issue, getting some flex between the shifter and t-case.
Check mounts (motor/trans and cab).
>>
>>28817657
Wonder if that's whats going on w my transfer case
>>
>>28817657
the linkage is mounted to the 203 case only, straight into the cab. the spring inside the mechanism could be weak,broken or filled with mud. it's a bitch to get on and off, too
or the internal detents could be worn out, in which case i'm fuxx0red
mounts are all new, i'll have to check to make sure the trans mounts are still tight

Im finishing up my TJ build and need tires. I plan on driving it on the road more than off but will be doing some heavy off roading when I can. I had Mickey Thompson MTZ but I didn't like their snow capabilities or wet traction(obvious MT issues). Im considering aggressive ATs like the Baja Boss AT. Or should I get Baja Boss MTs, or any other MT, and just deal with it? Its not my main vehicle by any means. I just want the availability to drive it in snow, ice or heavy rain and not have my asshole puckered. I guess the best option is to get 2 sets of wheels and tires but im running out of storage space and thats a lot of added cost.

Im also considering going to 37s but I'm still on D44s. 4" lift, 1" BL, hi-line fenders, big brake kit, 5.13 gears. Stock wheelbase with short arms. I ate through BJs on 35s and thats still the weak spot.
>>
>>28820045
Get MTs. They're totally fine on the road. You won't regret it.
>>
>>28820045
The Baja ATs have no problem in snow and are quiet on the road
>>
>>28820074
I've had many sets of MTs and I disagree. I'm rebuilding the TJ because I wrecked it with MTs. Granted, I was driving in conditions that MTs aren't optimal for. Im still mulling it since it's not a daily.

>>28820149
Yeah, that seems to be the consensus. Flip side of this is spring and summer wheeling here is a lot of mud. They look aggressive enough to clean themselves and not get too packed, but idk
>>
>>28820149
I also have a snowblankie GX
>>
>>28820223
Yeah they're fine in mud. Took it through a mud pond over the tyres and it was fine.

That says she's 15 (photo 9-13-2005, and 'under 16 until 9-19-2005').
You gotta compare to age 18 at least. Its rare to become a meth head in junior high or first year of high school. Everyone should look normal at age 15 save for crippling disease.

Anyone have experience with Discoverys? I bought a 1998 V8 Disco 1 yesterday for the princely sum of £5400, and while it has a couple of silly little problems, it otherwise seems to be *relatively* rust free at first glance, and it's pretty damn clean overall. Previous owner had it 16 years and has taken surprisingly good care of it. Do you guys reckon it's worth keeping as a general do-it-all kinda car, or do you think I'm better of selling it on? I don't really plan to go off-roading, but as I do a little bit of buying and selling, I sort of feel like it'll be useful for trailering motors back and forth; at the moment I have to borrow my brother's VW Crafter. I've always sort of wanted a Range Rover classic, but with prices of those sky rocketing recently and this suddenly falling in my lap, it just seems like a shame to let it go. Thoughts?

Hi from the beach. Today I hit a big pothole, and tire lost pressure. Some friendly guys helped hammer the wheel back to mostly round shape, and I was able to get to the next town where a professional hammered it some more. After that, there were 40 km of washboard roads, which separated something in the exhaust, so the car is pretty loud now. I will fix it in the next town. The beach is super nice, and it was fun driving on it. Glad I am driving AWD, the 2WD guys keep getting stuck in the deep sand.

Need some help figuring out what would be the better buy

-2017 4Runner has a lift and wheels. 100k and asking price is $25k
-2022 Frontier Pro 4X stock with 40k miles. Dealer OTD price is $33k
-2018 Tacoma TRD something or another. 68k miles and dealer is asking $29k
-2025 Tacoma SR5. 12k miles and dealer is asking $35k

I’m inclined to go 4Runner just because I can buy it outright and not have a payment but the thought of “just $10k more to have a newer, lower mileage vehicle” eats away at me. Also the Tacoma and Frontier would have a factory warranty still…

Help

>Worth taking on some debt for?
Honestly thats on you and your financial situation.
I took out a loan for my last vehicle because my 401k has a higher return than the interest on the car loan. I would have lost money if I had paid cash.

But honestly all 4 of those are good trucks.
I avoid lifted trucks (but I lift my own). Im very particular on brands of kits. Some are engineered well enough to have comparable ride quality and handling to factory (sometimes even better). Others have absolute dogshit spring rates and chinese welds i wouldnt trust on a shopping cart.
The Pro and the TRD are the better trucks. They have more robust components than stock. SR5 is just a nicer trim level so better seats but same drivetrain as lower trims.
>>
>>28851244
for what it's worth, the 4runner is the best vehicle for build quality and reliability.
4L V6 and 4spd auto
>>
>>28851409
>I would have lost money if I had paid cash.
What, like $40 dollars? At the end of the day, you still paid interest.
>>
>>28851409
According to the seller of the 4Runner the lift was installed by the dealer. Not sure if that means much but I guess it’s nice that it’s documented and wasn’t some shadetree project

>>28851416
That’s what I’ve read as well. I’m kind of tired of listening to all the creaks and rattles my Mustang has at only 36k miles
>>
>>28851475
Lol.
My 401k pulls nearly 20% a year.
My loan was 3.2%
The difference was about $10k (that I made off of MY money while I used the banks money).
This is why you will remain poor.
>>
>>28851966
#1)
If you plan on getting a lift, the 4runner already has it.
#2)
The 4runner is not a pickup. This is like debating between a Mercedes, Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. One thing is not like the others and fills a completely different role.
#3)
2017 vs 2025 is like you hit up one dealer and stopped looking. Its as though you dont really know what you want and are juat putting in the least amount of effort and just taking whatever is offered.

You don't want to blow $30k on a random truck from the car lot on 5th & Main just because the closest other dealer is an hour drive and you'd rather be doing something else on a saturday than avoiding orcs on the freeway.
This is one time tou need to put some effort into it.

I will say this-
GM and Toyota are lacking in wind tunnel testing. So with windows at specific positions you'll get weird eddys or acoustic resonance. Some vehicles can be undlbearable.
Not saying those years Tacoma are affected, just something to test.

Oh perfect. Lots of public land in WA. I lived in WA for 7 years. Are you open to owning two vehicles? You could keep your current daily and get a shitbox 4x4 to see how often you really use it for offroading and camping. If it ends up getting a lot of use then you can upgrade. You'll also have a better idea of what's important to you before making an expensive purchase.

I like the 12 dollar Walmart straps, I keep one or two in every vehicle, they're really strong and also cheap so you don't have to cry if you break or damage one, I even give em away to other people when off roading if they don't have a strap in their. truck

I have an old school tow chain with hooks on both ends. The fucker is probably a hundred years old at this point. I can't count the amount of trees and stuck trucks it's hauled over my life.

Reposting from the questions thread since nobody answered:

I'm planning a cross country move. Was going to pull my jeep on a rental trailer. But they all say max tire diameter of 28”. I have 35s. What's the actual concern? Rollover? I can't find any info on why the limit is 28.

Max 28" because it uses a strap system over the tires to tie it down.

Gotcha. Can I get larger straps myself to use on the rental or am I fucked?

If you understand mechanics you could get a ratchet strap the same size (2"?) and use it as an extension on the existing tire harness.
Or if the rim isnt some shit ass steelie you could just run it through the rim.
Or you could wrap the included tire harness over the lower control arm.
As long as it pulls the car to the bumpstops and doesnt loosen up youre fine.
