Redthies its not too late! http://www.tetonmotors.com/1985-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Jackson-WY/vd/15888219

There certainly are good deals to be had out there, including rust free examples, you just have to be patient and ready and willing with cash in hand when the right truck comes up. If you have the ability to travel for the right vehicle, the possibilities are virtually endless. If you can or...

I have slept in the back of an XJ Cherokee, and it wasn't terrible, but I'm a 3/4 scale human at 5'6" and 120 lbs. The 4.0 is an awesome, torquey, and durable motor. It is not however, very smooth or all that fuel efficient, my xj on 31's with an auto could still pull 19mpg on flat highway at...

Out of that list, I would pick a reg cab Tacoma first and if you decided to need or want 4 doors, the trooper would be my next choice. A reg cab Tacoma, with a camper shell on the back to sleep in and some slightly aggressive all terrains would be my vehicle of choice if I didn't need 4 doors. I...

Good advice, I hadn't really thought about that! On the plus side my rear windows are tinted pretty dark so hopefully it wouldn't attract too much attention. Mike

For my third gen 4runner, a laptop bag fits perfectly, and while not huge will be a welcome addition. I'm still undecided as to how it will be mounted, I'm thinking a set of steel tube uprights that can be easily unbolted. I will be interested to see what you come up with. Mike

I will be following...closely.

How much weight can you put on the whitson racks forward portion? I know they have some landing feet up front... Mike

Thanks for the info Peter! Mike

Peter, I know that when we talked it sounded like the shocks were topping out, or reaching maximum extension and made a terrible noise when doing so. Do you think this had anything to do with you not running a front swaybar? My thought is that there was nothing to limit the shocks from...

Having tried an air mattress, simple futon mattress and a nice thick 3.5 inch sleeping pad; the sleeping pad is an outstanding winner for me. I get some of the best rest i have ever had with a thin wool blanket on the floor, a sleeping pan and sleeping bag while stowed away in the rear of my...

More info on your vehicle, setup and uses would be VERY helpful. Mike

My two cents: 16k doesn't really seem that unreasonable for turn key ready to roll swap, especially if its exactly what you want in terms of a drivetrain and is a truly complete swap. Where I might differ from you is the choice of a 60 series vs a first gen 4runner. I'm sure our needs are...

Being that this is not the first actuator I have seen destroyed from corrosion, i think you might have something going here. Any idea on cost? Mike

Rob, top notch work as always! I will be watching this one as close as I watched your build up of the scout. I had a few questions for you regarding the skids: How are you forming the .250 steel for the skids? Any estimate on how much they weigh? Thanks! Mike

When I called regarding a hj61 he had advertised on the LA craigslist for 7900, he told me the actual "out the door cost" was closer to 12-15k, which seemed odd. Perhaps the OP can come in and clear things up, its possible I misunderstood him. I have been drooling over what this guy and...

235's? Mike

For the brief time that i had my last m416, it had a very well matched pintle and lunette hitch system. By well matched I mean that when latched together, they were very tight. It was noticably more quiet than any previous pintle and lunette systems i have had in the past, and seemed to work...

Got a chance to see this trailer in person yesterday, and if it was just a touch smaller it would not be for sale! Very well built! Mike

As a guy who has owned more than a few jeeps, including a ZJ I will offer my two cents...... Buy the LX450. Although it has some issues (which to me seem minor, compared to a trans replacement), they are very stout chassis, meaning they are heavy, drive like a tank and to me they feel large...
