    Opinions on the HDJ80?

    the funny part is, all and all it would be cheaper to just drive the grand wagoneer until it shows rust, sell it, and then buy another grand wagoneer, if thats what floats your boat. why sing 25000 into a cruiser?

    Opinions on the HDJ80?

    unless youre towing a 5.0 cummins is overkill. power breaks things. with appropriate gearing 200hp/250ftlb is all you need in a medium sized offroad truck. the issue isnt the straight 6. thats a nice motor. id love one in my 60. the issue is the automatic. its great for mall cruisers that may...

    Opinions on the HDJ80?

    1. if youre willing to drop the coin on a diesel 80, buy a 100. a stock 100 will do what a stock 80 does, it doesnt cost any more to upgrade, and no comparison in comfort. 2. getting 5mpg more means you have to drive an awful lot to brake even on thediesel buy in. the only reason to buy an...

    60 series seat suggestion?

    I just picked up a set of like new 09 e90 BMW base seats, manual operation, heated. I'll be tossing them in. The heat wiring may get a little funky, module controlled and all, but my dad is a tv repair man and he has an awesome set for tools. I'll work it out and spell out what I do later...

    60 series seat suggestion?

    im unaware of any from iron pig with lumbar adjustment. while i didnt put them in the truck, i know thats where they came from. since you mention it, they are a short seat vertically also. the bucket curves in at the neck, where for me, its at the shoulders. it reminds me of 80's ford van...

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    pulling the trim and interior used to be one of the big expenses you could forgo. if the finish is nice on the big flat pieces, who is really looking under the door threshold trim to see the color line. the line between quality adequate and quality professional is something car show people...

    unless youre you have a thing for old **** and tinkering like i do, avoid rust, and have as much GM drivetrain as possible. other than that, there isnt much to a 60 to look at.

    Best LC100 Question and leaving the Land Rover World.

    i use LC's hard. at the age and miles youre talking, maintenance and environmental conditions are what counts. I.e. rust, and... well... PM work. assuming those are equal, the 2000 is the stupid choice over the 2003. the TQ comes on late and there isnt enough HP in the rpm range to make up...

    if you spell first, you spell second. "A" (blah-d-blah blah) and "2nd off" (Blahhhhhh) and "Lastly" (b-lah) lets all play the syntax game! seriously tho, with a divorced t-case, all you need is a visit to the local drive shaft shop and a wrecked 80's 4x2 f-150. youll have something cooler...

    230GE in UT...any advice?

    what you want is an LL wolf. its got the lift points for your helicopter. unless you see something that really lifts your skirt, i'd go onto clubgwagon.com, the very best G site, and contact offroad-world. Guido can restore and set up the wolf before you get it shipped.
