Hey guys, my tires (Toyo Open Country IIs) are getting a little dry rotted. What are your guys recommendations for a budget AT tire that’ll be okay with the occasional trip in the sierra snow? I currently have them on 17s from a 4Runner but I have my stock 16s as well.

I also know I could go up in size to the pizza cutters so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Coworker at my shop has a beautiful 1st gen 5 speed pathfinder. He left it at the shop overnight and I’ve been admiring it all day. I’ve convinced myself to ask if he wants to sell when he comes in later this this week. Anyone owned one of these? Curious how they are. I mostly hit forest roads so I’m not looking to modify and I already have a 2006 Land Cruiser but this thing is really speaking to me. Are they reliable, decent driving for a 30 year old suv?

Advice on a mod list please,just brought this.thank you

Anyone familiar with snow wheeling on the olmpic peninsula in washington state? Was hoping to find some snow on higher elevation logging roads that stay open through the winter. Assuming by the Olympic mts. Appreciate any knowledge. I'm new to the area.

Hello! I live in North America, and I've recently been looking into off road cars for trips and for some jobs that require me to drive off road. I'm looking for something dependable and affordable, any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

The roads to the job locations are mostly dirt paths and they're kind of rocky, since they're on/located near National Parks, thank you!

I’m looking for a “submersible” air compressor to mount between the frames under the vehicle. Obviously, the air intake would have to be run up above the (potential) water line to prevent water from being drawn in.

I know there was at least one manufacturer who had a compressor which they stood by it being submersible, but it’s been a few years and I don’t recall who made it.

Any ideas for one available now?

Have always wanted a dual cab so I can have a rooftop tent etc but for work reasons I need a single cab. Wondering what the first steps I should take for preparing it to be a camping/offroading set up? Does anybody have any suggestions/advice?

I'm looking at a 1996 Land Cruiser HZJ75 on Monday that was apparently imported from the country of Georgia, but the current owner doesn't have importation paperwork. I'm looking to avoid getting scammed.

It has a New Jersery title.

Based on the pictures, it doesn't seem unreasonable that the truck may actually have 60k miles based on the condition. Being expensive and imported though has me very cautious about buying it. The seats are new or at least newly upholstered which seems a little suspicious.

I will test drive the truck and of course listen to the engine for any knocks or issues with timing, but I wanted to pick the mega brain and see if you folks have any ideas I haven't thought of trying. I will also have the vehicle inspected, but I don't know any shops in the area. Teaneck, NJ

I did see a video recently where a guy recommended checking the pedals, steering wheel, handles, carpet, and shifter for wear which I thought was very smart. I'll also check the oil and transmission fluid for discoloration, granules, or flakes.

Any and all advice is very appreciated. Thank you!

I installed a 2 inch rear and front lift (but from the springs compression in the front, its about 1-1.5 inch). I also installed a driveshaft spacer from Superior Engineering, and a transmission drop kit from Dobinsons. I still get the winning noise from the rear diff. It is mainly noticeable when at speeds exceeding 100km/h and when I let my foot off the throttle a little bit where the RPM drops down slowly. It is even more noticeable when the road is a little bumpy. Dobinsons told me I need rear upper adjustable control arms. Is this true or are they just trying to sell me stuff?

Thanks.
