    Good Buy? 98 LC

    course, its odd to have a front locker, 180000 miles, and not dents too. maybe he just didnt use it. wouldnt be the first poser out there.

    Good Buy? 98 LC

    ummmm yeeeeaaa... first thought to my mind too. i have 180 on mine and i'll drive it 12 hours, wheel the snot out of it and drive it back. it's a fearless rig that way. but... i didnt just buy it at 180. theres a natural healthy fear there, buying someone elses POS. you have no idea what the...

    Any decent priced light weight winches out there? how about using a 6k winch?

    theres nothing wrong with a 6k winch on a 6k truck. theres a doubler devise, its called a snatch block. 10x as safe as a highlift. the early 70's bellview on my 40 is only 6k, and i use it plenty. i run 8k on a loaded lx470. front and rear. both work wonderfully. i have a 12000 in my garage...

    Americans! Dream of owning a Y61 Patrol?

    i had 9 days, not one, on road, offroad, high speed demands. the body couldnt handle the dust. by day 2 of 9 days there wasnt a door that didnt squeek atrociously on a bump, and bolivia is all bumps. my lexus leather is still intact after 180,000 miles, without a single cleaning or wax. there...

    100 stock height

    hm. interesting. i thought id be higher. with heavy ironman springs in the rear, and leveled out, im at 21" front, 35's are just a tad rubbing on the frame when compressed. this could explain why i didnt get the squirrelly highway handling after i leveled out. i may have to 30mm space the...

    Thanks. Tires won't affect that measurement. No bumpers or dual batteries or nothing?

    harrop elocker group buy

    Hell, no. I have arb in my 40 and it's in no way worth ripping them out to switch. II I look at it like this. A full set of arb with pump is 2500. A set of these is 3000. Is it worth 500 to have a simple system that is quick like u mention? To me it is, but just barely. For someone on a tight...

    100 stock height

    i've got an aftermarket suspension, and a ton of mods. im going to get some slee upper arms to set the alignment to stock. the instructions call for an arm setting baseline of "d" for a 2-3" lift. i have no idea what the stock suspension setting is on a 100, so, i dont know what what the front...

    Americans! Dream of owning a Y61 Patrol?

    i hammered a 4.8 for 9 days in bolivia. from the transmission back its rather heavy duty in appearance, but the 4.8 is no v8 and gets overwhelmed with full a load. theres no top end power. the v8's at elevation were killing it. everything was killing it. i had a hard time keeping up with loaded...

    harrop elocker group buy

    thats an adapted design from the old cable lock style. its over 40 years old, and like the old Gwagon collar with dog teeth style, it has its foibles compared to modern drop in lockers. sometimes, newer really is better.

    100 rear lower control arms.

    i understand. with a 2.5 inch lift and heavy load springs, i hit stock bumpstops and max droop in the rear without lifting a tire on the ifs. i do not run swaybars front or rear. i dont think the geometry on the 100 is really capable of taking advantage of johnny joints. my rear tires stay well...

    BMW F650 GS SE/FL

    since you ask, depending on the build date, its 2-3 years old. theres a risk involved in any used purchase, no matter what the mileage or seller claims, so perhaps photos and a more appealing price would spur interest. farkles tend to be a taste thing. its kinda like buying a house with a pool...
