    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    too much motor as it is, for me, but since hes gone that route, get him shopping for the power add on parts. those ****ers can take some serious output on the bottom end, and its easy peasy.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    this is an open paragraph, as i have no idea if this fella needed a good shootin'. "drug addicted loser" isnt a capital offense. if hes MERELY a drug addled loser, and the cops (or otheres) lives werent in immediate clear and present danger, his civil rights WERE violated.

    because you NEEEEEED people to know youre armed. if you work in gun shop or load ATMs, sure. otherwise theres no mature, emotionally sound reason to go to lunch cocked and locked hanging out of your shirt. they are grown men desperate for the attention.... desperate.... childishly desperate to...

    511 pants have a place to put your reading glasses where you wont lose them or crush them. great shop pants, but its like wearing tent material. they never feel like a broken pair of jeans. i think blue is the biggest wannabe color they come in. they dont go with anything but your EMS shirt.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    open carry equals wimp since the 3 jerks at the fire house sub shop enjoyed the stares they got with their 1911's (i think that the preferred open carry as it looks meanest cocked) i decided to ask them why, and kept building up the conversation so i could ask them what they were afraid of in...

    no training can give you the judgement required to exactly right in shooting situation. thats why we take it off the soldiers plate with the rules of engagement. the rules of engagement in civil society are two fold. your action must past legal muster as self defense, and THEN it has to pass...

    OR heated Mitts vs OR heated gloves.

    all purpose use. hands getting to be a joy in the cold. unheated mittens beat gloves for warmth any day of the week, but simple tasks can cause you to pull the mitt off. gloves are practical, but your fingers freeze. i was thinking since they were heated fingered gloves would be the best of...

    OR heated Mitts vs OR heated gloves.

    do the mitts lose their comfort advantage when pitted against the gloves, and make the finger sacrifice futile? i wanna know.

    the world isnt that crazy. its not crazy at all. its not perfect, but its not crazy. im not telling you to carry or not to carry, but if you start with this as the foundation, you'll never carry for the right reason. youre like 99% of the people, carrying scared and to insecure to admit it...

    My FJ60 V8 conversion by Wolf Creek Rod Works

    the tranny to engine conversion is wash with a tranny to split case conversion. put in the nv4500, and sell the h55f. if planned from the beginning its a wash. but in reality i'm likely to just do a 1500 buck ls4.8 to the h55f because i have the bell housing already, and i'd have to move the...

    60 series seat suggestion?

    just an fj60 observation. newer OEM seats have a wider track base than the 70's, and are deeper in the bottom cushion, likely accounting for their general increase in comfort and adjust ability. The earlier 60's have taller factory stands welded in. in the end it makes for smaller selection of...

    My FJ60 V8 conversion by Wolf Creek Rod Works

    the gear spread on the h55f is why i would go with an nv4500 if i was to switch to a v8. a steeper, broader curve can take wider range of ratios. the h55f isnt set up as a v8 tranny. i say this because ive done other conversions, and i am trying hard to blow up my current 2f so i can justify the...

    Another price drop: Chevy k2500 and 8' Alaskan Camper $12500

    happycamper is a used car dealer. his worst nightmare, is an informed customer. you be the judge of the value of his opinion. theres a big gray area between someone reselling a rig, and business deal flip. its a big gray area, like i said, but this sale isnt in it. its a flip. theres price...

    3-door HJ60?

    boy, does that look terrible. maybe if they would have made a true panel van out of it, but the rear door windows really clash without the door seams. yuck.

    Opinions on the HDJ80?

    12500 (x) the interest lost in a fund (-) the depreciation on the 18,000 dollar rusted 80 no one is going to want. your math on your loss falls way short, your mileage delta is optimistic. the market for imported diesel LC's is down and the 70's have tanked. get it cause you want it, but...

    60 series seat suggestion?

    ok, the brackets from adventure ready bolt up fine, but they do not work with the e90 seats. the plate is about an inch short rear and side, and the seats themselves are too tall on the brackets. Ces't la vie. 4 2" delerin pucks and some grinding of the stock brackets may be the solution.
