Warn 8274, I've been beating mine for 10 years now and it's still pulling my 80 series Landcruiser through everything I need to get through. It's been on three rigs now and has pulled countless full size trucks out that I wouldn't hesitate to put one on you vehicle. 8274 is a great winch, built...

A side wall patch will get you off the trail (sometimes) but not safe for any street use. My thought is that the sidewall flexes too much under the load of the vehicle for a repair to be permanent. It's a bummer replacing a practically new tire but I've done it before too. Driving with a...

Landcruiser 80 series - Solid axles front and rear- reliable, easier to maintain, tougher with larger tires, easier to lift for the larger tires, - Lockers front and rear- the 100 series may have the traction control, but turning the dial and having it all locked up is sweet. - Comfortable- long...

That really depends on what you want to do with it. I really liked my mini Toyota's until I wanted to wheel and go exploring with 3 kids, then it got a bit small. It sounds like you have done all the maintenance on your rig and have it set up how you like it and you'd be getting into a...
