    2001 Sport, stuck in 4lo.

    Well, it was something electronic. She said she turned off the ex when stopping for gas (guess running in 4lo uses alot of gas ;) ) and when she turned it back on, she said everything was normal again, got it back into 4hi/auto, etc. Weird. Wonder if the connections are lose, the shift...

    2001 Sport, stuck in 4lo.

    I'm guessing the shift motor on the transfer case. Does this sound about right? Any info on testing it? How to get it out of 4wd so she can drive it? I have an idea on how, just wanting more info. And the dealership said to hit on the black box under the truck with a blunt object to get...

    Afters of my 2003 Tacoma 3" lift+Wheels&Tires (PICS)

    You are regearing from going from 31's to 32's? I think the stock gearing is 4.10's, what are you going to for gears? I am personally staying with my 4.10's as the power loss wasn't bad (I went from the stock crappy rugged trails in 31's to the 32 MTR's which are very heavy, before my...

    Afters of my 2003 Tacoma 3" lift+Wheels&Tires (PICS)

    Power lock problem.

    I'm having problems with my 1994 4 doors power locks, well, actually only one of the doors locks. The power lock for the right rear passenger door sometimes doesn't work, and when it does, it seems to work at a slower "pace" then the others. How much is it to replace the motor? Any other...

    Best tire in a certain size?

    Well, was thinking about the BFG's, but cost is also a factor. Heard decent about the Yokohama, and is alot cheaper then the BFG's. So any other input would be nice, thanks.

    Best tire in a certain size?

    Well, not for an explorer but thought you guys could help. I am curious which tire is best in a 285/75R16. Probably an all-terrain, maybe a mud-terrain. Daily driver with some occasional offroading (in colorado). I would love to find the Pirelli Scorpion AT's in that size but don't think...

    parreli scorpion a/t's

    Not really noisy, probably more then a street tire, but not like a mud terrain. I like mine and have driven some long drives with them and not noisy at all.

    parreli scorpion a/t's

    I have had my Scorpion AT's for over 20,000 miles. Still very good tread. Other people have said offroad as good as the BFG's. I had mine in some mud, not thick stuff, but they didn't gum up. They stayed pretty clean. I recommend them. Decently aggressize AT with a mileage warranty. I say...

    Rear wiper problem on a 1994

    Any idea on where besides a salvage yard to get a new motor? How much? How involved to replace yourself? How to get panel off the tailgate, etc.

    Rear wiper problem on a 1994

    Well, I have a 1994 XLT 4 door, and the rear wiper won't work. I flip the switch and nothing happens. The washer part works, but not the wiper. I'd say its not the fuse since according to the manual, they use the same fuse. So any ideas? Help would be appreciated. If it is the motor, can...

    After TT, Shackles,and 33's on an Eddie Bauer.

    Aren't 285/75R16's equivalent to 32's??? I thought 33's would be 305/75R16.

    BFG All Terrains vs. Pirelli Scorpion A/T

    I like my 30" pirelli scorpion at's. Cheaper then the BFG's and have a mileage warranty. They do work well offroad some also. I like them on my explorer and my brother likes the 32" ones he has on his truck. Good grip, and not much noticeable wear with over 15,000 miles on them.

    CCR2001 UPDATED!

    Well, put me on the not coming list. Plans didn't work out for moving there and don't have the time to go there with school back here in hickville. Colorado State University didn't have what I needed for Civil Engineering and my dad didn't get to move out there. So I'm stuck here and may make...

    Any trails decently close to San Diego?

    Yeah, I'm trying to get him to. Or Terra Del Sol 4x4 club out there. He just works his ass off and doesn't get the time to do stuff. Tried getting him to join Tacoma Territorys here in WV, but he never did.

    WV/VA Explorers

    According to their website they don't allow full size vehicles. Only ATV's such as dirtbikes and fourwheelers. In the future they say they will allow things like Explorers.

    Los Coyotes in July some time

    Well, he has a 1999 Tacoma 4x4 kingcab v6 TRD (rear locker) with a 1" suspension and 32" tires. He's taken it some decent places. He actually uses it. But I'm not saying he's coming for sure. Just checking to see if it's ok. He may have to work or may not feel like going. Not sure.

    Los Coyotes in July some time

    This an only Ford run? Or can other people come? My brothers in San Diego and hasn't been able to wheel in a while. And doesn't know many people out there yet. He drives a Toyota and has wheeled here a bit back east before he moved. Possibility?

    Any trails decently close to San Diego?

    Just out of curiousity, are there any 4x4 trails decently close to San Diego, CA? My brother is living there and hasn't found anything besides sand. He likes some rocky stuff. Nothing extreme, just scenic and fun. He drives a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 kingcab v6 TRD with an inch suspension and...

    Escape/Tribute front drive 2WD?

    Yup, its based on a car (hence front wheel drive) like most of the small SUV's. Unlike the Explorer which is based on a pickup. The Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, and all other small ones besides suzuki are based on cars.
