    Choosing a landcruiser

    the standard 2" lift does 35's. in fact, i just checked mine and im at 1" up front. i decided to keep it that way to lessen the strain on the cv's. with my 1" diff drop im not too far out of stock. i just barely make contact with the frame at full lock/compression. not enough to notice off road.

    Holy Grail of Jeeps? 2007 4-door Rubicon diesel swap

    Awesome info. If I decide I care what he spent I'll start a thread. Unfortunately it doesn't address my point. And in fact makes it for me. Spending money on project doesn't make it worth what you spent.

    Don't flame... BUT is the Wrangler the new Defender for the U.S. ???

    and it was free. even then, a defender is an ergonomic nightmare with 1940"s cockpit proportions. put the average person that doesnt know **** or have some odd emotional attachment to 4x4's in the drivers seat and ask them which one they think costs more, or they would want and now youre...

    Favorite cooler under $100

    The original extreme holds ice as long or longer than yeti . I'm not sure about the new ones. I stopped to pick one up and passed because while the outside was the same as my ancient one, it appears to have much more room inside.

    Lucky 8’s Project P38

    nice job on the pipe angles, but it looks small in diameter, and thats an awful lot of spiral flex. theres a ****load of turbulence with that stuff, and i wonder whats going on there under high rpm flow and vacuum. i'm not saying im right, but boy that looks like youre squeezing the airflow with...

    2008 Tiger CX 4WD Diesel

    well, really, its a camper. a tiger is a camper. making it all one piece has the advantage of a pass thru and a lower height/cog. its also a ****load more expensive to implement, but you get the benefit of a higher grade fit and finish, and the security of a one piece body. which camper is...

    great tire size debate

    Lol. I'll think about your cushy standards as dine on the champs elysees next friday.

    great tire size debate

    I wouldn't say that. My 100 is easily in 99th percentile for 100 weight fatties when I wheel, and the lack of gearing is only mildly irritating in some instances. I have no issues in city or merging. Actually, the biggest issue is the 4 speed 1-2 gap, which is always an issue. I have a hard...

    great tire size debate

    Having run both 35 ' s and 33's on a 100, I can say there not much comparison in performance offroad. The ability to do it, and which one will do easier, are two different discussions. Thus also goes for width. In any given diameter, the wider tire will out perform the narrower tire off road. If...

    Any experience with DieselToyz toyota conversions?

    its not that simple. thats an old wives tale understanding of combustion engines. you drive diesel for economical production of torque at a low rpm, and range, which is fuel mileage. a 400hp/1400tq semi motor in diesel, is a 400hp/1400tq in natural gas too. the difference is in the combustion...
