    What is the best headlight and horn replacement for 60/62?

    So as some of you know the stock headlights on the FJ60 are a bit of a joke as far as candlepower goes. Before driving to Panama we replaced the headlights with Hella's, which work quite well; however, they are not sealed and sure enough after a couple of relatively deep river crossings we had...

    Opera Trailer (not much good for offroading but quite beautiful)

    Opera Trailer Interesting specs on this trailer. More of a Rolls Royce than anything else... Ceramic toilet, coated teak floor and veranda, finishing in oak, corian and stainless steel. Nevermind the outrageous price-tag.
