Thanks..... I still have the truck, just no way to continue the build at the moment.

I had to stop my build. I never got past the Lowrance GPS install and Roof Rack. Living and divorce cost too much. Sorry guys.

Yes I own two Rover vehicles, a Discovery II (02) and Range Rover (01). Both are nice vehicles, but no where near as reliable as the Land Cruiser. The Range Rover has had many small problems that I have repaired myself, and now the Disco is having problems with the switch for the transmission...

Regardles Ghurka the Land Cruiser will out wheel a G-Wagen any day of the week. Just watching your video post earlier with the Red G-Wagen on trail with those Land Rovers shows how the G-Wagen has no articulation. Furthermore you wouldn't have all these LC owners jumping in here except that you...

So you would rather have all your G-Wagen friends sit around and tell you how wonderful your G-Wagen is over a TLC, yet you don't want to answer to any TLC owners for your bad-mouthing of THEIR favorite vehicle? Sounds so snobbish to me. If you can't stand the heat, ********. :coffeedrink:

This is just so typical "Mine is bigger than yours" stuff. I don't know where you get your TLC info from? Maybe you have never owned one? The G-wagen is a decent vehicle but a proper built TLC will definitely out perform a G-wagen off road, any day of the week. I would put my 100 series behind...

I have packed my 100 with gear for a weeks worth of off road travel (just inside) and still had loads of room left. Now I have a roof rack and the possibilities are endless. :coffee:

A Rover for the 'hard core' trails? Man I wouldn't trust a Rover 100 miles from home unless it was THOROUGHLY in top condition! My 100? I can drive it anywhere with no concern.

Too bad we can't get the 70 series in North America. It's a shame because it's a cool and rugged design. I guess there is no way we could petition for them to be imported here too??

2002 RR Resurection? Let it die man!! Get yourself a RRC and build that. I am glad to say that I don't pour money into a P38 any longer. P38 - The bad years of Land Rover!

No, I think we must be looking at two different points to this situation. I was solely commenting on the video, which is about locked versus open diffs. We can agree to disagree, I think.

You have some valid points there, but we aren't discussing the driver, we are discussing the video showing open versus locked. I can guarantee you, take one experienced driver, do the line with each of the rigs in the video and he will have much more difficulty with the unlocked vehicle. I've...

I'd get the PowerGate system. Google em up and give em a call.

In this case, it was the locker which helped the first RRC up and over easily. I've seen it all before, and you can only do so much with technique. The comparison was between basically a rig with a single rear locker, and a rig with open diffs. The first one was up and over in literally seconds...

No, the problem was he didn't have a locker and that is why he was spinning his tires off. The driver couldn't finesse anything, because he didn't have locker(s). If he was equipped with a locker, or two lockers even better, he could have literally crawled right up and over that obstacle on the...

Once I had a problem with my FJ40 and had to save money for 6 months to take it to the Toyota dealer to diagnose the problem. It was something really stupid that I didn't notice, a cracked distributor cap (!). Anyway, I took it off insurance for 6 months, and when I went back to them to...

Nice rig man, keep it up! :)

Toyota was pushing dealer installed lifts, larger tires etc. You're blowing hot air man. This kind of thing should be warranted as a factory defect. I traded my FJC in early for my current cruiser before I got in too deep. It wheels great, however I am upset that Toyota is turning a blind eye to...

Looks like he took an extra set of 40 front fenders and cut them down to make those rear 'flares'. Nice idea. The 80's engine in that engine bay is really tight. So much for working space haha. :camping:

Nice way of getting rid of the old stiff leaf springs. I bet it rides a LOT nicer. Someone else did a FJ45 pickup on a 80 foundation and it looked cool too.
