Orange, VA - About 30 minutes north of Charlottesville. MPG? I’d say somewhere in the low to mid 20’s…

Bumping with more pics!

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow.

Ho, ho, ho!

Why put a new Lexus or Audi under the tree when you could take advantage of my “HZJ Holiday Sales Event”? Price lowered to $27,000 and that’s pretty damn firm.

Ive been asked: I will delIver the truck a maximum 50 miles from central VA, 22960. Thanks!

Bumpity, bump, bump.

SOLD I KNOW I’m gonna regret this! I just know it!!!!!! I’ve got too many cars, too many bikes, and too many trucks! This old girl doesn’t get used as she should and I feel sorry for it whenever I’m not driving it!! Like the title says, it’s a 1991 HZJ77. This has the normally aspirated 1HZ...

You're not saving tons of money buying a 48" and why a man would carry around a 48" and 60" stanchion is beyond me. There's a fine line between "good enough" and "not enough".

Join a club -as in get time behind the wheel off the highway. Never said all club members were knowledgeable instructors. Just be careful hiring anyone to "teach" you this stuff. Unlike road racing schools or HPD - off road driving instructors do not carry credentials. And certainly don't rely...

My personal opinion, knowing MANY I4WDTA "certified" instructors? Save your effort and money. Read, read, read! Jim Allen's 4 Wheeler's Bible is a great book to start with! Many'a COI at schools is based off this book. Get active in a 4x4 group. Anyone - and I mean anyone - can pay their fee...
