Well the hits just keep on coming!!!! First off I found out we still didn't get the engine buttoned up today and when I got back home to get on the computer and do some serious sleuthing, I go to re-start it and poof... suddenly I get a blue screen of death and now the lap-top where ALL my...

Man, you and I could be "Rally car twins"... different paint-jobs, but I have a VERY similar MKII (and I've been building track rally cars out of VW's for years). Great lookingcar man. As for the truck... Impressive. You've done a LOT of or on her already (how crazy is it to get a used truck...

Dammit and I'm a Redhead too... this is getting WAY to real... I'm freakin out man!!!! :sombrero:

Sorry if I needled you about the back-story, but... Flames??? WHAT?!?!?! That is AWESOME hahahahaha. I thought, from the pictures, that it was a real DC Hilux that you'd maybe body swapped, not a 3rd Gen STC PU and a 2nd Gen 4Runner worked together. That is SO cool and looks great. Built on...

I cannot slap my self in the forehead hard enough... Cheers Dave

Why not Marlin??? I've always preferred the aesthetics/design of Marlins stuff and he's certainly one of the innovators of such products... I can also attest to how well their armor works. My 1st Gen would likely be completely written off at this point were it not for Marlin bumpers which...

My hopes at this point (and they're just "conspiracy theory dreams" right now) is that all these faff & fluff "pro" versions of the Tacoma and 4Runner are all just stall tactics for Toyota to watch and see how the small diesel/import diesel market works out (For anyone not watching the diesel...

Ditto... I really wasn't trying to be flippant. It's hard to convey sentiment over the internet, but I meant anything/everything i said as helpful information for you going forward, not to talk down to you or insult you/your truck in any way. Welcome to the Expo Portal BTW. :smiley_drive...

:drool: Oh WOW... That is GORGEOUS (and one of the Patrol Models I actually really love the looks of) and the level of detail you've put into it is just plain amazing. That is just beautifuly done and your photography only adds to the "wow factor". That is one Patrol I'd be SUPER proud to...

Pure nostalgia: That is the same truck down to the color and interior trim that I grew up "driving" from my dads lap at age 4. It's a "1st Gen 4wd P/U" too BTW. Pictures are certainly detailed (refreshing to see on an Ebay auction) and sure look like they did a very nice/thorough job. He's...

Don't let it get down man... It's still a Toyota :smiley_drive: and as bad as anything that's been said may all make it sound w/the technical talk, The bracket lift up-front, if done right and welded well, should be strong enough for an intelligent driver. Don't be scarred of your truck all of...

Great to see the G back on the road. I'm not sure why I had it in my mind that this was a V6 truck, but that I6 Long-Block pic confused me for a minute till I went back and re-read and solved the "duh" issue I was having :sombrero: . Trucks looking great, glad she's back with a healthy heart...

Blocks are a bad idea. As the height of the block grows, exponentially, so does the "badness" of their nature. 1.5" blocks while not ideal aren't anywhere near as bad as a 3" block because of the nature of the mechanical advantage they give the axle over the leaves, and the leverage ratio...

YAY!!!! Another 1st Gen!!! I was absolutely in LOVE with John B's original "old Red" 1st Gen of early Ultimate Adventure and much more fame... Looks like a sweet old rig you found too. My vote for the build is Toy. Diesel... always Diesel. That and a custom "Camper shell" replacement for...

Love that Raptor Liner pain-Job... I'll have to look into the stuff when it comes time to do the lower body line section of my new 2nd Gen build. Truck looks really nice, these 2nd Gens are so plentiful because of the 3.0L issues (I skirted that buy doing a 1KZ-TE Diesel swap), but you really...

Awesome picture... What are you shooting there??? Almost looks like a Savage BA or a Modded SR25-style gun maybe... Can't see the grip/stock enough to harbor any more guesses. Trucks looking awesome too mate, the stance/wheel/tires with the classic white body against black racks/bumpers just...

Your mechanic sounds a bit biased and un-informed or he's being overly general if he's talking about the company as a whole. My dad does the books/taxes for one of the more "well known" VW/Audi shops in Portland, OR and we've owned a LOT of VW's over the years and still own a fair few... I've...

I'd pick the 200, but not because of looks or because it's to me, the "Ultimate Landcruiser" (I've been fortunateunfortunate enough to live and run LC's in other parts of the world and we simply don't get the best LC's IMO) but because of those specific two, the Toyota WILL be more reliable, end...

Such a great truck mate... I've also gotten some great leads from this thread for my build (the Saf. IC kit and Pusher fuel pump) so thanks and congrats on having a very special and amazing rig. I'm glad to see more diesel dreams finally coming to fruition around here. Hopefully the sheer fact...

Why thank you sir and will do mate, I love your Rescue Runner too, she's a beaut aye, I don't think I could miss it if I saw it so I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'm big on the "biker wave" hello to fellow Toyotas, I'm hoping it'll catch on hahaha. I'm actually heading off to take another WMI W-EMT...
