    Alternator upgrade in ‘87 4Runner

    i have a single-wire 140amp aftermarket gm alternator on my '86 4runner, as i recall the thing to remember is that the electronics severely limit the charge current, to lead acid battery standards... agm batteries can handle a much higher charge current, but you can't take advantage of that with...

    Let's talk about wheel (rim) size, and its effect on offroad performance

    tire availability can be a factor in picking wheel size. 15" rims for instance, don't have many tire choices.

    DSLR question

    the k10d is a ccd-based camera, it gives a good picture at base iso, in good lighting, but in dark or challenging conditions, it's pretty bad... the af is also bad. you should be able to pick up a used k3 for a reasonable price, it's a huge step up, and you can use all of the lenses that you...

    Balancing your larger tires...best method?

    i ran centramatics with those same tires, it worked great. if you are moving to a different lug pattern, you could probably get the new pattern drilled into the centramatics.

    Rubicon Trail / October, 2016 / Nikson Overland

    you could hike it no problem, camp anywhere as long as it's next to the trail? vehicles have to remain within something like 20' of the trail... take a camera and hang out at the soup bowl. dirt bike would be a blast on the 'con, because you can dodge the big rocks... although some people like...

    CSF Radiator Leaking After 2 Years

    i got one of those three and half years ago, a cu147 model, put it in my '87 4runner, which is sas'd, running 37's... the truck weighs over 4,000 lbs, it has both body lift and spring lift, so it's like pushing a brick into the wind, and of course with leaf springs front and back, it rides...

    CSF Radiator Leaking After 2 Years

    if that was a problem, the csf documentation should have warned against using green coolant... does any radiator replacement company claim that green coolant is bad for the radiator?
