minimal truck capability would encourage those boys to stand and fight.

i've always viewed the 70 being designed as a little 3/4 ton pickup adapted as an SUV. its better for loads, but then a little worse off road. unlike you, i dont view the G as any better. but its a give and take. the question being, is it easier to add load capability to a Landcruiser or a 4...

a 75yo buddy of mine ditched his m3 for a boxter. im not too into track cars anymore, but it would take one hell of a 911 to get me to pick one over a boxster. ive driven a carrera s4, and that boxster really handles sweet. curiosity beckons, i'll have to look at what 45k gets in a boxster.

mr smartiepants has spoken! a silverado is designed to carry loads stably on road. the shocks hang down 3" below the axle tubes. the rear overhang is an aircraft carrier in length. narry a thought was given to off road in its design. mud construction sites are the worst its supposed to see. its...

nice, i was considering ironman springs when i ditch the height control. i carry plenty of weight so 400lb plus rears may be in order. what stiffness did you buy?

it looks like you had the suspension extended. if you did, dont. it stiffens up and while you get an extra inch, you lose articulation, and that hurts the atrac, in my opinion. the atrac works better with as much pressure on each tire as possible, its not a locker. the optional lift is good...

i think he may have done better, if the horse he rode into the discussion, wasnt a siverado... im not a badge loyal kinda guy, i just like what works. if youre going introduce class warfare into the discussion, you sorta ought to do it with a rig thats not marketed solely as a dirt road ranch...

or maybe they just ripped on you, because because of how you present. .... naaaaaa....

ok, you had till this line... then i made a giggle/laugh/fart at my desk. thanks for the entertainment.

you mean hes going low rider?

i told my father i wish i was born rich instead of good looking.

i believe OEX quoted me the capacity of the hilux at 2500lbs or so. load ratings change over time. newer trucks are rated lower for safty concerns. look at the load rating of an older high cap 110 pickup... comically high.

OEX has a few. they said theres hardly a part that swaps anywhere. having crawled around one, it definitely isnt the same truck as a tacoma. the hilux has basically the same design parameters as the 7x in capasity and footprint, but with IFS. considering the size of the trucks, you go bigger...

i think someone should bring a GL450 next year. there WAS a version for sale in the US with low range box... find one.

it peals off.

oh i would. definitely. if i wanted a new rig, a rubicon with AT's nifty tent/roof hickyma'doodle would be a simple complete package to explore in, 30g cheaper than a 200 with all modifications done, and would run rings around it. of course the 200 did fine, with tires and lockers. the VT trails...

maybe for a 200...

contact me next time you see a 7x troopy for sale in kentucky for 6-8g. i'll wire the money.

if you guys woulda quit moaning about 70's and petitioned toyota to import the hilux, you may have had some success. not likely, because all a tiny hilux would do is pilfer some tacoma sales, but, if there was some real demand for a small modern commercial truck, maybe they would have found a...
