This... Here's just a few reasons I choose to "armor up: - I saw a vid of a guy goes nose first off Lions Back in Moab one year and land pretty much straight on the front tube-bumper and while I'm sure he was sore... he walked away and was able to drive the truck back to camp - I hit several...

I was following you right up until the point you said "crank windowed, white diesel Hiluxes" then my brain went all squidgy and I lost all sense of concentration ;) I wholeheartedly agree with you though mate, well said. I guess I kinda missed one of the key criteria and, as usual was...

I know... most boring build thread ever huh??? I seriously hope I can make this worthy of even being here sometime in the next few weeks/month. So yeah... Lap-top Died and I spent a solid weekend freaking out trying to find a work-around for the oil-pan... Came up with all kinsd of crazy...

I think we're getting twisted up here and it's likely my fault... When I said "...A 60 with Detroits and OME suspension" (or whatever) I'm referring to 2 fairly cheap diffs that can be swapped in your garage and two sets of leaf-springs that require no modification to mount up (although to...

To the OP: Like I said before, my suggestion at this point is go exploring in your Chevy and take your time deciding/doing your homework... doesn't sound like you're without a vehicle to get you out there and you never know when a sudden "too good to pass up" deal will fall in your lap and make...

THAT makes a bit of a difference...

Those are all more then a "2.5" coil-over lift"... Have a read on Petersens "Red Sled" and how much GM's IFS front suspension can't handle when pushed with a load on and bigger tires... I'm not saying that it can't work, but it's not quite as simple as you're leading him to believe. Taco's...

I guess the big question is do you really need a new truck??? Want is one thing, believe me I GET that, but if getting out and exploring is the ultimate goal, load up the Chevy (maybe give it some new tires and some load helper springs, not sure how it's set-up) and go for a drive aye. Far be...

False... Sorry, but the "injectors" in an early "E" controlled Diesel aren't necessarily any different then non "E" Engines. The 1KZ-TE has the exact same injectors as the IKZ-T. Yeah, they're slightly more complicated with the added wiring,and yeah a new IP for an E-Controlled Diesel is more...

They're kinda apple and oranges those two trucks... Ones old and slow (stock) but much more HD built, the others more modern, faster and of a "lighter" build quality I'll just give my .02 based on my personal preferance, style, biases, ignorance etc... but me???: I'd buy a 60-series and do...

Very cool... It's like the "re-making of History"... now take it down to South/Central America and get it muddy :sombrero:

Very cool, I've never had reason to look so I guess I just assumed they already did G-Wagen suspensions... OME/ARB have proven themselves to me in some of the harshest environments on the planet. This is great new for G-Wagen folks.

How in all of this did John B's info get ignored???
