    Idiocy defined.

    LOL...some folks just don't realize that LC owners are a bit more laid back than others....I guess it comes from spending time exploring, rather than fixing, the rigs.... :elkgrin: -H-

    Importing an early 70 series

    If you really want a 70, take a look at IH8MUD. Canadian ones come up more frequently than you'd think; some have already been imported. Plus, if a 70 was ordered as new to a Canadian dealership, you may even be able to import it before it is 25 years old....that's how mine is here. -H-

    Importing an early 70 series

    Early 70s and BJ40s will have the 3 or 3B diesel. I'm not quite sure what options would be most sought after....but I'd think, at least for a 70 series, a turbo, air conditioning and power steering would be high on the list. The easiest way to import it legally is to use a regisered importer...

    Odyssey Battery Warning!

    Hola gents.... About a year ago I bit the bullet and purchased an Odyssey battery for my 1150GS. Last week I found that some little fingers (read...my daughter) had turned on my GPS and let the battery run down. So, I tried to recharge the Odyssey and no go...wouldn't go about 6V or so, and I...

    McVick's NX650!

    How do I secure offroad lights on ARB bumper so they dont get stolen?

    I usually use 'el cheapo lights for this reason.... But for my more expensive ones I've done the tack weld thing...same with the winch and bumper itself....it's pretty darn easy to cut the winch leads and unbolt the entire bumper otherwise. -H-
