tug of wars are dumb. whoever loses traction first, loses. you can repeat that test but have the rubi break traction with the defender on the brakes at first and then it would win. theres a video floating around of a D90 dragging a cummins on youtube... its pretty obvious to anyone that a tuned...

$10k or under? Don't want/need anything special? Go domestic. Pick anything on the GMT800 platform (Tahoe, Silverado, Burb, etc) put some decent tires under it and call it a day. Titans are real cool, but early ones also had weak brakes, weak rear diffs, and all of them crack exhaust manifolds...

Real common to swap for a double DIN unit. Lots of threads on the UK forums.

I've run BFG ATs on almost every vehicle I've owned and have always been very happy with them.

Yup, be real with yourself. I decided against going to 18s and getting a heavy LT tire when I’m 80-90% on road. I wish I could get a “tough” highway tire like the LTX in 255/60/19, but I’m going with Toyo AT3s.

Those aren’t enough tire. If you’re going P rated, you should get tires w a XL rating. P rated tires are rated at 35 psi and shouldn’t be run at higher than that, which you’ll need to do. Also, you can only use 91% of that load rating. XL tires are rated up to 45 psi. If you’re going to a 18”...

I cant believe the Yukon won after they posted videos on their IG showing how bad the traction control system is.

20lb C02 tank setup. Comes with mount, 150PSI fixed regulator, and guard. Tank will need to be filled, possibly certified. $150 or best offer. Located on the east end of Long Island, NY.

I never busted a sidewall on KOs, KO2s, or KM1s... probably close 250k miles between four sets of tires. I did slice two Cooper AT3 sidewalls doing much less hardcore stuff.

Your price is CRAZY dude. I just bought a mint one owner LR4 HSE HD w 45k miles on it for $26. These are holding their value but they aren’t land cruisers. And ya gonna charge people 500 bones for a key they can program themselves w the IID tool you’re selling w the truck?

Go for it. You’ll spend money baselining with fluids and maintenance no matter what. A clean low miles LR3 is hard to come by now, and a diff isn’t that expensive if it eventually needs it. If there’s no rust on a truck it’s worth fixing if you enjoy it. And honestly if you find yourself needing...

thats like $8k US. I'd go for that, provided the inspection is OK. Keep some change in your pocket for the possibility of doing a diff eventually.

Biggest issue on the early trucks will be the diffs. How much are you paying? $5000? $15000? We can't judge if its a "go" or "no go" without that really.

You try this yet? This is what I plan on going with... 255/70-18 BFG ATs LR D on the evo corses.

those little Discovery sports are great on-road and bad weather trucks, but as you can see no bueno when it gets tough.

Both lived in the same area since new. My stepdad’s 2013 FJ is crustier underneath than my Silverado was as well. The fact is Toyota frames rot away to nothing way faster than anything else. If they’re treated since new and cares for, I’m sure they’ll fair better. I have nothing against the...

This was a 2012 4runner w 75k miles on it I looked at over the summer And this is what my 05 Silverado w 175k looked like when I sold it a month ago The truck I just bought to replace it came from Colorado and looks brand new.

I agree with him. Unless you're building a crawler, the new Defender is better at everything except for being a cooler vehicle.

Heated front and rear seats and steering wheel here. I'm not even that old, but I dont understand why some people are proud do daily uncomfortable cars. I'm all for "back to basics" as the next guy, but heated seats aren't "luxury" items. My base level 2012 Golf had them. I like being...

The only reason the Tundra doesnt have more composite parts like the oil pan is because the design is so old it predates the fitment of them. Every new car uses composites to save weight. The intake manifold and oil filter housing on the Tacoma is plastic. And if a Tundra is what you think...
