This reminds me of exactly what I did to my 80 before my first baja trip. You're not alone! -H-

The 2H is what came in the 45s....however, when I looked at converting my troopy, there was no difference in efficiency with the diesel as compared to the petrol motor, especially when kept in good tune. Now, I know there are folks who have swapped in a 1HZ-T or the like, with an H55F 5 speed...

Um...you might want to check that one again. As I understand the law, open carry in bars or restarants that serve alcohol was never legal in Arizona, and under the new law, one can only carry concealed into an establishment serving alcohol if you have a CCW, unless signed as a "no firearms"...

OExpo 2010 started up this morning with lots of excitement! Tons of amazing rigs; stories, and great folks! -H-

I have purchased a vehicle from the seller sight unseen before. Brendan keeps his vehicles clean and is a great guy too! This is a very nice example of a classic Blazer. -H-

MRA selection, (especially in your county...and yes, I know of whom you speak), is a different animal entirely. Let's just say it's not the run of the mill SAR team, and the level of both commitment and fitness is above what a "normal" SAR volunteer will be expected to have. Our general SAR...

LOL...try yanking on the steering wheel of the 70 at highway speeds and see what happens.... -H-

I love the full time 4wd of the 80 series. Excellent on partially snowy/wet or dirt roads....keep it as-is and add the center diff lock switch/7-pin mod and you'll be set. -H-

You'll gain new respect from me if you plan to ride that 350 from Midland to Moab and back again.... If so...one suggestion....padded biking shorts. :bike_rider: -H-

One pair of boots is pretty tough to use here in N. Arizona, as we have alpine conditions as well as desert missions. I have several pairs, depending upon the season and terrain. Heavy semi-plastic Saloman mountain boots for winter, Asolo canvas/leather/gore-tex boots for mid-season work and a...

I have a AMK Comprehensive Kit (with IV Starter/suture kit and dental kit, glucose monitor, stethoscope etc. added) that I take on longer trips, loaded into one of the Jesse panniers. For shorter trips, I'll likely have a quart ziploc with the following: 4x4 Pads (5) 4x6 Trauma Pads (2) 3"...

I just have my winch power leads hooked up directly to my second battery, with no changes to the National Luna system, with no problems. -H-

My FJ80 did that. Brake Booster. A new one from Toyota will freak you out with the cost. I got mine from www.cruiserparts.net and it worked just fine. -H-

126K is not a lot of miles on a Cruiser...heck...I think only one of the Cruisers I've owned had under 150K! -H-

The 20004 (smaller) filter is the "preferred" filter for the 80 series. IIRC several folks have done quite a bit of research, including oil testing with the different filters and cutting the filters apart to look at the media. Do a search on the 80s section of IH8MUD, there's a ton of info on...

I have moved along the shoulder in Phoenix traffic before, as my 1150 doesn't like sitting in 115 degree heat, but I think, with panniers, my ******** end is too big to be doing any serious lanesplitting.... -H-

Bump...cause I was just thinking about how much a pita my 1150 is to ride in the sand...and how sweet this bike is in the sand. :bike_rider: -H-

For those who haven't ridden a KTM 950, it's an amazing bike. Having ridden this one, I can easily say it is just jaw dropping how good it is off pavement. I didn't know I could ride in sand until I rode this bike, and it's absolutely flawless at speed on washboard roads.... -H-

Much like other dads here, my daughter, at 3 1/2, already has her own compass, and I'm doing beginning tracking skills on our outings. I refer to her as my "self-rescuing princess." ...now, I just need to find the best .22LR in left hand configuration....and she's either starting with a...

Yeah, after two years you owe us some pics of the final product. -H-
