    Land cruiser straight 6 vs V8?

    not trying to be snarky, but its just a chevy engine. it seems to me the non usa market diesel would be harder to deal with in a repair situation.

    a few LS install questions

    1. i think most 5.3/4.8 ls's have the AC pump down low. does this clear, or does it require a bracket to move it up? us the GM pump or the converted toyota i have now? gotta keep the AC. 2. my FI ecu on the 2f takes the input from the AC on, and raises the idle. is this needed? 3. my FI on...

    Land cruiser straight 6 vs V8?

    100 v8 5 speed. not as much for the mileage as the gear ratio gaps. you wont notice 4 v 5 speed wheeling, but you will notice fully loaded with a trailer on long fast mountain grades.

    I don't see much 200 series here, any particular reason?

    as an expedition truck where paved roads are a secondary function, i would take the G500 over the 200. and no "break" need be given, as you dont have to ********** the corners (or drag the ***) on G. if carnage is a success, i guess that pic you posted really is the picture of success. this isnt a...

    I don't see much 200 series here, any particular reason?

    they crossed the weight limit line for me. the 100 was a bit portly set up for wheeling too, but i dealt with it. the 200 stock has my 100 weight with armor. its lost too much float at that size. also if i wanted that level of refinement as a DD i'd buy a luxury car. as such, i went back to...

    Inflatable Kayaks

    inflatables are best on the river, i'd do a nice cedar canoe for strictly flatwater. light weight, tracks straight, no drag, fast, comfortable. an all around better experience.

    2018 G-class adopts IFS ?

    not only that, but the torque is from a v8, and truck is 1000 pounds heavier. my lx470 is easily +2000 on top of that wet. its like comparing a sammi to an fj40.

    After sizing up specialized's prices.....MOTOBECANE it is!

    looks like a replica of a 20yo santa cruze single pivot. if youre going full suspension, put your cash into a modern design over parts kit. or, if you're a medium, i'd be on CR, looking at older litespeeds or something.

    Tire size/brand recommendation with 16" wheels and 40mm lift springs?

    i would think it would be tough to notice. for a 33 that may depend more on the tire being a d or an e rating. look at the weights on tire rack, and actual diameters. the duratrack has big jump from 285 to 315, and from my anecdotal experience that seems to bet where the impact is.

    if this is the truck i think it is, its had more guys than a hooker. first time i saw it up, was in AK, years ago. and this is NOT in the for sale section, so its NOT and AD, Haven.

    2018 G-class adopts IFS ?

    i read back and articles suggested differing body panels and all, but if you compare the disguised units with a pic of current unit, everything is proportionately the same. if the new body panel rumor is true, then they are ********** with photographers and "disguising" old bodies. that would be a...
