    never did tackle the truck. it was a hoot to zip around in and ill miss her, but i passed it onto Drover. his life partner managed to dent all surfaces of his built up 88, and hes going to build up to the super trooper it deserves. sayonara, baby.

    Alaskan Hydraulic Pump replacement relocation potential "downgrade" to manual pump

    i disassembled my alaskan, but kept the rams and pump. the pump needs new sealsbut never failed. with a manual, you dont want more flow than necessary. keep the stock rams. i was going to use them on my trailer, but if youre determined and desperate to go manual, hit me. personally, i wanted...

    Wanted: Wrangler with Ursa Minor or jku Habitat

    outside of you vicariously tire kicking... the white one is the better value. theres 130000 miles of use on the red one, and reconditioning is time consuming. either yours, or a mechanics. aftermarket parts are cheap. 3/4 cost of an axle rebuild is labor. miles = labor. by the time you get the...

    Airing down Michelin LTX's

    they came on my G. a great tire if youre in a place that never snows deep or has mud. for airing down, i think youre barking up the wrong tree. the best all purpose tire that has side lugs that work when airing down i think is the duratrac. i had those on the G and they did everything well...

    Anyone regularly use suppressors?

    once i put the SBR tax stamp on a pistol, i'd always treat it like an SBR. being right, and the cost of defending yourself to be right, are two different things, and theres always a cop or DA with chip. i like vermont but i gotta zip thru NY and pass 1000 cops and DA's. i know a couple have to...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    i never shot a 6.8, mostly since i've committed to 300blk in the AR platform. but i notice that people that like the 6.8, love it. the 110 vmax in 300blk punches above its weight class below 100 yards, mine has made better holes than a 30/30, but the BC is horrible for anything far out there...

    Buying a 04 G 500 w/ 150k Miles

    150k? sure, you'll be buying 1/3 fewer parts than the rover, but they will be 3x more, and dealer installed when you find you need the special $2000.00 MB whatchamadohickie to wrench it. NOTHING with 150k is assumed to be turn key. prima donna $120,000 cars dont know they are old. they...

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    have you used bfg at's, in mud, loaded to 7500 pounds w/o lockers? i'm not bustin' nuts or raining on you here or anything, i'm just saying, i had them on this truck and they hold clay like metal lath holds plaster. atrac is useless for this, and they wont clear no matter how much go pedal you...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    being as you need to inform the feds if youre crossing lines with a tax stamp sbr, i think they make good home defense but poor truck guns. otherwise a sig mcx 300blk 9" with silencer would be tempting. youd get to keep tinnitus away, or not make it worse in my case. the earplugs never seem to...

    WARNING! “US Legal” JDM 70/80 series Land Cruisers and Hiace/Delica vans (Craigslist)

    so, you buy a truck from a different country off a guy that tells you "you dont need the vin", and you didnt question the statement??? is the force strong with him, or what? that statement blows my mind. i wont even look at a rig on the corner used car lot without vin. ****, i'd run my mothers...

    1991 Delica “Star Wagon" $9k Japanese Classics

    on one hand, they look cool, on the other, can one really do anything in this they cant with a subaru? the tires look like 29's, and there doesnt appear to room for a lift or more tires. its just a dirt roader, so whats the point of dealing with it? it aint no pinz or c303.

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    after having putting 100,000 plus miles on a set up 100, and having owned a 110nas, gwagon, etc etc. i can say you'll love the rig for this. opines from lots of wheeling on one? its a different truck on 35's. why? the weight, and you cant escape the weight so you have to have feet that can...

    COLORADO CAMPER VAN LLC-**Do business at your own risk**

    i'm kind of confused as to why an attorney hasnt been consulted. by sending a repair man free of charge then making an initial buyback offer, he has admitted all culpability for the products condition and all costs associated in the interim. stop being fearful of a lawsuit, as it will be less...

    Am I Crazy????

    your problem isnt fit and finish on an lc100. the fit and finish never fades. the issue is your budget. and if repair work is a money issue, youre best to pay up front with a documented Lexus 100. there isnt a more reliable unit made.
