    If Jeep offered more choices.....

    theres also the issue with cost. A diesel in any vehicle is more expensive. An already pricy rubicon JK would be outrageously priced and no one would buy it!

    ExPo Project: 1991 Land Cruiser Prado SX (LJ78)

    that only does rear locking though. I saw one in a hjz77 that had both front and rear positions. Or are you only running one locker?

    ExPo Project: 1991 Land Cruiser Prado SX (LJ78)

    very nice! I looked at these before I bought my hj61. I loved the rig but hated the underpowered motor. Lets hope it stays together I know a few people that had under 100,000 kms in surfs and the heads still went. Once they did the 3L head all is better. One friend now has a 4 door 1991 hilux...

    Need ideas for super low easy to remove mount for rtt on fiberglass cap

    you can get the brackets that bolt to the side of the shell and look like gutters on a truck so you can use gutter clamp style roof bars. Take the roof bars off with the tent and you will have no added height

    Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V, anyone have one?

    That looks nice. I have a friend with the Nikon P500 and it takes stunning photos for a point and shoot (36x zoom) I have a panasonic with 24x zoom and it takes nice shots as well. Those would be my 3 top choices for long zoom with the canon maybe in the mix as well.

    1998 Ford F800 Utility Crew Rig 4X4 8.3 Cummins Diesel Allison Tranny 280 hp

    From what I have read its pretty reliable. Best thing to do is send away the oil for analysis. Oh it already has a cab pass through!

    Hey everyone, new member with a Sammy

    nice little tin top! I have done 8v and 16v swaps in the past and I would never do an 8v again. the gain in HP just wasn't worth it. If I ever get a sammy again it will be getting a 2.0L swap in it. I drove someone esles with that motor and Oh my god was it nice! or a 22re toyota swap.

    Homemade Awning

    if you angled the poles back to the bottom of your roof rack brackets (where they attach to the rover) this would give better support. maybe a light piece of aluminum between the ends of the poles to keep them spaced and tight.

    battery ideas Nuvi 500

    I'd saya radio shack would be a best bet. Take the back off and the old battery in and see if they have anything the same voltage and size.
