    unless youre established as a reliable shop/parts guy, and have some cred and a track record, like kurt, i doubt they would set you up as a distributor. one screwball effing over a couple customers and their name turns to mud. how many points is the discount? is it worth waiting? is it worth...

    where did a quarter million in fun come from? is there a table for that somewhere? i havent been a broker for 15 odd years, and there werent any fun analysis tables in the old days, so very well could be out of touch. and if you say the return was 250,000, how is 15,000 write down a loss? i'll...

    that was then, this is now. besides, a car is great for transportation, but crappy as an investment, as you can now see.

    Droverrover buys an fj80???!!!

    To me, on board water systems always taste funny, and water is safely stored inside where freezing is less an issue. When the bartender asks bottle or tap, I take the bottle.

    he wants MPG, more power, and luxury in a medium duty non wheeler... that would be a post 2003 5 speed, ahc, lx470, not a 2001 4 speed, on aftermarket springs. that wish list matches factory specs.

    Droverrover buys an fj80???!!!

    generally i would agree, but that agreement is limited to the mere cost benefit ratio of the convenience of the fuel tank, vs using a jerry can. as it stands right now for me, and it will for drew once he moves the spare, the truck has a huge void down low that is unusable for anything BUT a...

    2012, 2009 and 2006 70 series Land Cruisers tagged and driving in California?

    then you are able to give me a definition of "somewhat legal" that i may put in a brief. feel free to make it germane to the subject at hand, if you wish.

    Droverrover buys an fj80???!!!

    theres nothing else but custom. just do it. your only issue may be how low it hangs. i think low. its big. i was gonna scrounge some scrap yards for some ford F and E truck dual tanks.

    "somewhat legal" is the same as saying "kinda raped". either it is or it isnt, will or it wont. sometime you dont know until you lose in court, but you do know after. if someone has that big of a hard on for a truck, make good with a canuck.

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    one could say that. if one wanted to make excuses. they drove them and loaded them with the intent of showing people how theses trucks could be driven from the factory. they wanted to show that the rig, a 463, while clearly set up for smooth pavement, maintained the offroad durability of the...

    Gorgeous '77 FJ40 spotted locally...

    yea. who would want to shave 200 pounds off the front end, and get better economy while being able to put out more than 150 hp (and 200 more yet) without bending a crank shaft... yea. right on. RPM sucks. i love the smell of unburnt fuel in the morning.
