    Damn you everywhere else but USA!!!!

    Yeah... The JDM has certainly been very "selfish" with all kinds of vehicles in the past, esp. performance cars, but the 70-series IS available most everywhere but N.America and I'm not sure what's "different" about this 70 compared to the others... The USDM is a strange market indeed, and I...

    2006 Toyota Tundra DC hunting rig/family wagon/adventure mobile

    Aussie Ute-Bed and don't look back. IMO it's the only kind of bed I'd want on a pickup anymore after using them heavily in OZ. Great looking DC BTW, I kinda wonder if I wouldn't have been just as happy to buy a 1st Gen like that instead of buil;ding the Diesel 4Runner I'm in the middle of...

    '12 4runner 37x16.5 Hummer wheels +MTR tires +Icon stage 3 +extreme fender trimming?

    I'd agree if it were an older truck, but (and maybe I'm wrong here) on a '12 I'm just picturing a lot of tire contact and suspension/body-mount/fender-well interference unless he did more "major" trimming and maybe some other stuff... I'd say you'll really need to watch the width of tire and...

    Patrols - restoration projects

    Man I may not be a "Nissan head" as such, but you know I sure do admire the work you do on these trucks... and that LWG60 (which I had never heard of before) looks AMAZING. I'm not quite sure why, but I've always had a "thing" for the Mid W/B trucks like the CJ6's, CJ8's, LJ's, FJ43's etc. so...

    Barn Door for JK factory hardtops

    I love these tops (great design, hats off to you sir), and I'd love to see an LJ or JK turned into a 'J8' like you suggest with the taller top aye. That would be so cool. If you can live with the 2dr's then get the LJ... It's one of the greatest Jeeps ever built IMO.

    AEV Brute Expedition Build in Dubai

    REALLY cool to see this build, and the level of detail you seem to take vehicles to is just... well it's really awesome. Your "collection" of vehicles is something else aye. That DeVille looks beautiful and the FJ45 is equally amazing. How "rare" a truck would you say this Brute will be for...

    40+ Imported Defenders seized by Homeland Security Today (developing story)

    I read that on that other Site's thread and I think that is really cool of him... Sounds like a stand-up guy. The ramifications of his voluntary work may well effect us all, LR owners or not, if we weer to import a "rare or unique" vehicle" and I think that's one of the more overlooked and...

    Bear Grylls is new LR global ambassador

    Yeah??? No problem, I had a posterior Disckectomy/reconstruction after I crushed a CERVICAL vertebrae while serving in the US Marines. 6 weeks after the surgery, and 3 days after having the staples out... with a some-what "experimental" spacer in place in my neck between C5-C6 I was on the...

    Bear Grylls is new LR global ambassador

    Actually I'm betting some of us here, myself included, could do EVERYTHING he's done... Let alone the many tens of thousands or more people with the same level of athleticism and training/skills out there in the world. Among the numerous comparable things I've done in and with my life I've...

    Overlanding an LJ

    Yeah they really had a winner with the LJ. I was sad to see it not offered for public/civilian consumption with the coming of the JK, and I've always lusted after the T1 (the Mil-spec LJ with the little VM Motori Diesel :drool: ) and the J8 for that matter. I've also always loved the CJ6/8's...

    Overlanding an LJ

    IMO LJ's are some of the best jeeps ever made... "People", by and large are none too bright... by the very nature of the fact that you are driving it, living out of it, exploring new places, does that not make it an "Expo vehicle"??? Isn't it the TRIP that makes it an "Expedition" rather...

    Bear Grylls is new LR global ambassador

    My guess is it'll be some new hybrid fuel system that runs off of the receipts for "Bear Grylis branded products" fed into the dash through a special receptacle shaped like BG's own face saying "Xtreme Survival!!!"... As much as I could sit here all day dishing out jokes/good nature'd ribbing...

    Any experience with DieselToyz toyota conversions?

    I'm a member of their boards for resource purposes on my own swap, but I've never worked with them personally sorry. I did order my Fuel/water sep. through them off Ebay and they were really good to deal with in that respect. Their work putting the 1KD "D4D" engines into Tacos and 4Runners...

    STOLEN HZJ79 in USA!

    Sadly, it's a "Landcruiser" to anyone "not in the know" (and depeding on the model could say NOTHING to indicate anything other then "Landcruiser"... so they could, potentially, just slap another USDM LC Vin on it and go about fooling the Feds for years. Hopefully NOT though, hopefully someone...

    STOLEN HZJ79 in USA!

    That's so lame... These rare rigs getting stolen always make me wonder if the culprit KNEW what it was he/she/they were stealing or if they're just numpty's that stole a "camper" cause it had a bunch of stuff in it. That they stole it out of a storage facility implies some things to me. Dirty...
