I just got a new front bumper put on. This has the LED lights and so I have the rapid blinking issue. I purchased some load resistors, but I'm not real sure where or which wires to connect them to, how and where to mount them etc. I could use some advice on this if you are familiar with both the...

I'm just looking for a road report for this area of the Uintas. Basically it's FR027 off of Murdoch Basin Road. I'll be taking my grandkids on it tomorrow and I've never driven it, but the reports I've seen make it seem pretty rough. I have a 2000 4Runner with good tires and I'm pretty...

A friend just approached me about possibly accompanying him in the Maze. I have a stock 2000 Runner. Nice aggressive tires (Duratrac), but no locker and I don't have a winch. I do have a high lift jack and other supplies. Also, I don't have a lot of slick rock experience. I have driven on a few...

I'm looking for some relatively easy to moderate dirt roads in Idaho. We're planning a trip there next month, but don't really know where in the state we want to know. All I know is, I'd like to see some beautiful scenery on some dirt roads. I don't really want technically difficult roads...

I took my 2000 4runner into a safety inspection place that I've used for the last several years because they seem to be better than other places that are closer. Unfortunately this time, they failed me on rear brakes, saying that the driver side is hardly working. I took it to my mechanic who...

I'm thinking of hiking up to Pittsburg Lake tomorrow if I can drive in to the trailhead. Is the road clear of snow up to where that trailhead spurs off of the Mineral Basin road?

So I got some new shocks and they came with a nut for the top of the shaft, and also a locking nut, like the ones shown here: http://zhenhua.en.hisupplier.com/offer-266536-Self-locking-nuts.html I'm really not sure how these work. I'm assuming like a lock washer they go on before the regular...

I'm really a novice at off-road vehicle repairs. Trying to get better though! Last Friday and Saturday I had to drive in to the Uintas on a really rocky road. When I came back out and got on the main road, I heard this popping/clunking type noise from underneath my 4runner. I took it to my...

I have the stock radio in my 2000 4runner. I won't upgrade to an aftermarket stereo because I've had too many vehicles broken into to steal them...well I have installed an aftermarket cassette player in my Accord because I figured if the thieves were paying attention, they wouldn't bother...

I'm down here in St. George looking for something to do. I've tried in the past to get to the Toroweap Overlook area of the Colorado River, and was thinking about making that attempt again. However, the information I have suggests that this may not be possible this time of year when the...

Every time I buy some tires from Discount Tire, they try to sell me siping. I've driven a mail truck for years and one year they siped all their tires. I noticed absolutely no difference in the kind of traction I got in snowy/icy conditions. So I ask you, do you think it helps in any way? I'm...

I've just got the stock 2000 4runner, and I want to get some tires that will be great in snow/mud/etc., but also not have such an aggressive tread that it really cuts down on my gas mileage. I use this vehicle for family vacations driving thousands of miles (well, maybe once a year a trip over...

Well I'm looking for a place for a camping trip for my wife and I, our kids, and our grandkids. We will most likely be going in the July/August time frame, so I don't want a blazing hot desert camp! What we need is a place with shade, maybe a lake but definitely some water, pleasant restrooms...

I want to go back to the stock air system and get rid of my K&N, but after checking with many wrecking yards, I can't find a single one. I think the new ones cost somewhere between $400-$500 and that's not in my ball park right now. I had the Yoda Yard in Denver recommended to me, but they said...

A guy I know is considering buying a Wrangler and wants to know if he should get an auto or manual trans. I know what I prefer, but then again, I don't do a lot of hard-core offroading. But I do a lot of driving on extreme dirt roads and every once in a while, challenge myself. I like my manual...

I need to get a prefilter for my K&N air filter--and I'd like to buy it locally because I'm having a hard time finding the exact match online. If you have any suggestions, feel free to help me out.

May all of you have a great day tomorrow!

I'm trying to keep everyone updated on the proceedings in the trial pitting San Juan County and the State of Utah against the federal government. Check here for my article...

A few days ago, I posted in another thread about my 2000 4runner and its check engine light. Anyway I started this other thread to once again call attention to it. The code is P0171, which shows my air/fuel mix to be too lean, and these are the possible causes, according to the list I got from...
