    With the new Tundra finally unveiled, I'm starting to get excited about Toyota's new powertrain options. Up until now we've had naturally aspirated V6s and V8s with lackluster power and fuel...

    I had a chance to check out the new Land Rover Defender. In short, I love it. The basic one starts a little below $50k, with a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo with 296 hp and will tow over 7,700 lbs. It's...

    Toyota is highly unlikely to bring the diesel state-side, but I hope they at least offer us the twin turbo V6 in the 4Runner and Tacoma. Without it, the 4Runner won't compete with V8 Grand Cherokees...

    I'd be a little surprised if there wasn't a turbo-4 option in there somewhere. The new full-size Silverado has one, the Wrangler, and heck even Porsche replaced their amazing 2.7 and 3.4L flat-6s...

    I'm sure this statement will shock my friends on this forum, but I can't find anything in Toyota's lineup the past 15 years that excites me at all. Naturally aspirated V6s and V8s that only make...

    That's the thing...what would I replace it with? Everything feels so boring by comparison. The only thing I'd like to have more than what I have is a diesel Toyota.

    1st Gen and 3rd Gen resale value

    Hi guys,
    I was cruising various Internet forums the other day and found a lot of chat about the high prices 1st and 3rd gen 4Runners are commanding on the used market. The page lists the actual...

    I can't tell from your pics, did you end up getting the half-fairing and no light bar? If so, maybe that open slot is letting more wind hit the rack. Mine is quiet...occasionally I will get a sound...

    Haven't been on here for a while but came looking to see if you had posted anything about your rack. I'm seeing the 80/20 style rack on just about everything these days.

    Not a hijack at all. If I decide to use my MV50 I would probably be well-advised to tear my down first.

    Maybe they don't make MV50s like they used to, haha. I may end up with the ARB single as mounting it would be super easy. The dual ARB not so much.

    For $19.95 (what I paid for my MV50 25 years ago), it was probably one of the better investments I've made! That said, I'm also looking at permanently mounting something in the engine bay so-as to...

    The only thing more I could ask for is a 4 cylinder diesel swap. Getting the kind of gas mileage my van gets in the 4Runner would be super nice.

    I see them on a rare occasion, they are 32 years old at this point. I realized the other day that my 3rd gen is the oldest vehicle I have ever owned at almost 20 years old. So much for "moving up,"...
