It is our responsibility to maintain access to the wild places of the world, but it is also appropriate at times to keep a roadless area roadless. It is not just about our enjoyment, but that enjoyment being ensured for future generations. I am thankful for our National Parks, UNESCO World...

Yeah, we had some serious front anti-swaybar hardware issues too, particularly after the Rancho lift install. Cool X, good luck with the project!

I thought a thread curating details and developments with the Canadian specification G-Wagen would be worthwhile. I find this unit to be the most interesting and relevant of the mil-spec applications. The music at the end is lame, otherwise some good interior shots too Not Canadian, but...

Right on! Great to have another forum member in Prescott :)

:)

Fun! Thanks for sharing. Agree, a beautiful place to camp and explore. Even getting off the ferry starts the fun.

Ah, the synthetic rope rumors... 1. They fall to the ground when they break: Nope, they just have less mass, and are less likely to cut a bystandard, but synthetic rope still throws stuff a long way, and that shackle will still kill you. 2. UV damages synthetic rope: Nope, it only fades the...

Stuck! :) I will be posting our new BJ74 project soon

Never stranded, including driving through Central America to Panama.

Given you needs, I would focus on under pant armor like hip/tailbone pads sewn into spanex shorts, then a good shin/knee pad. I bought a set of Thor pants with armor for less than $100 on sale. Now, I use a pair of Klim inside the boot pants in summer, then their badlands pant in Fall, winter...

Nice work Jan. We have a few new projects that will dovetail into this project nicely.

The suspension is complete, and DeYoung (the local shop I use for service, when we don't have time to work on the cars) is on to the power steering system. Every renewable component is being replaced, including the reservoir. new box The stance looks good, and is only about 15mm lower front...

Great suggestion. In the end, I decided on just using brand new LR genuine hoses for both the PS and oil cooler lines, although I am considering building a stainless PS high-pressure line do to the high failure rate of that part.

If I didnt just buy a Land Cruiser four days ago...

$150 for a Bellstaff! Someone buy this thing. It is a gift at that price

The front is retained by the shock and the extension length of the shock. I did install a LR genuine spring isolator on top of the front springs. Gives a bit of lift and helps attenuate some of the road noise. Oh, and we also installed new, longer brake lines a few years ago too.

Look forward to seeing the progress

Suspension is coming along nicely. All of the old bits are out and the new ones installed. If anyone is looking for rear 2763 and front 2767 springs in REALLY good condition, let me know (along with near-new OME Sport shocks). The new front springs are mediums and will allow for the weight of...

Interesting feedback on the Safari considerations. I have completed game drives in both Defenders and 70-series Cruisers. The Defender was superior in ride comfort. I do find the fuel consumption comment curious. The 1HZ is far less efficient than the 300 tdi in my experience. Great comments...

Beauty!
