I'm on the fence about the tires, with this type of trail the mild tread with lower psi did great. The hard surface gave plenty of grip and in the soft washes they provided great flotation. That being said show me a loose dirt hill or heaven forbid ANY mud and and I'b be wishing for a different...

To be honest the stress was my own doing, at one point I would have loved having a spotter and a better idea of where I was would have set my mind at ease. In the end even the toughest parts I was able to get through with very little drama, after a bit of road building and walking across the...

A few more pics This time of year so many plants are blooming; Just a few other random ones; So this should buff right out, right??

I started this trip early Monday morning with my first stop being Quartzsite then on to the area around Bouse{sounds like house} with a quick stop and 'the fisherman intaglio' its a roadside archaeological site that looked interesting. The reason for the trip was mainly to simply explore the...

So my truck {2007 Tacoma V6 auto} just turned 203,000 miles. I've used synthetic oil since it was new and I've always used factory Toyota oil and air filters. She runs quite and smooth she doesn't use oil between changes , the last tank I checked she got 20.4mpg in mixed{70%freeway the rest...

I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only one that will go out of his way to make his dog happy! Some of my friends think I'm a little crazy in how I treat my dog but to me she is part of the family and I/we{my wife too} treat her as such.

I've really enjoyed reading this thread and though I don't have a Land cruiser{yet} I do like working on my Tacoma. This latest installment about wiring is particularly enjoyable and I'm happy to see how you take you time to this properly and with some forethought, I say happy because I try to...

He has a Texas plate, I don't know if he still lives there I just happened to see it in the pic's. Nice looking rig, good luck with the sale.

What he said^^^, Did you fab those? Also I see the switch inside the hatch but can you use them as back up lights too? Nice and low profile.

I'm pretty sure it's the only place in the area that you can drive right to the water.

I might be completely wrong but I think it's 'peach springs'.?. Or I should say I think it's the beach at the end of peach spring Rd.

It seems that people with the locker option know what they have and ask a premium for their rigs. I've seen several without lockers that are appear to be clean and well maintained for 2000 to 4500 LESS and there is more of selection to choose from. I've mostly looked here in the Phoenix area...

I've also been looking at 80's and 5500 for a locked 80 is a pretty decent deal. You can use your savings to take care of the maintenance issues. Good luck, I'm a bit jealous that you're ready to buy and I'm still 'just looking'

I think that entire area will be a good place to explore during the hot summer, so have you noticed your rig running hotter since you installed the light bar or is it just the warm weather or is it just a '80' thing? I'm looking forward to you 'real world' review of the light bar, have a great...

Great thread, I'm really enjoying your build! Could you talk more about the route you took to the expo? We drove up on 87/lake mary rd and it would have been nice to get off the pavement, did you find the trail in a guide book or just by exploring? I really like the light bar and the location...

Nice find! I've been drooling over 80 series Land cruisers myself for some time now, it will be fun watching your build.

I just finished reading this entire thread and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post your trips and the build of your rig, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours!

New Ford Ranger? I saw this the other day while gassing up in Tucson. It's from Mexico and looks to be brand new, from the quick look I had it seems to be a little bigger than my 06 Tacoma. The chrome 'roll bar' looks to be a factory item because of the third brake light built into it. I'm not...

Wow, what a great deal!

Sorry guys I just had a guy buy me out. He even took the ugly ones.
