    Mahindra 4x4 pickup

    Well after seeing pics of it next to a dodge dakota, I have totally lost interest in it. Perhaps the pics are deceiving, but the thing looks HUGE. Nearly full size. I still bemoan the fact that automakers have lost site of what makes a "compact" truck.

    Classic Hi-Lux Commercials From NZ

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Which, in and of itself, seems a bit odd. Their new CJ3B and the various f40 iterations of the icon, while amazing vehicles, are clearly very niche products for those with the means to purchase them. If I remember correctly the CJ3B starts at $79,000. Clearly it must be profitable or there...

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Anymore word out of TLC on this kit? Has it been decided that it will be a one off or is a production product still planned?

    Long Way Up....2009

    I have to agree with Ruffin' It. If any of us had millions of bucks, wife and kids at home, and our livelihood depended on us making it through unscathed, I think we would all over prepare a bit. Again, regardless of what our reasons are for getting out there, the whole point IS getting out...

    Wrangler is "Last American Chrysler"

    or BMW. I think it has less to do with expense and emissions as much as it is perceived lack of interest. EPA and EuroV regs aren't that far appart.

    The best adventure travel boots.

    The Vibram five fingers are awesome... really great for running and much better than a running shoe if you can get used to them. Been lots of articles on them. Goofy looking, but work really really well.

    I need new boots....

    I have always gone with a danner or a wesco boot. Family always bought wesco caulk boots (corkers), but we were a logging family. Wesco boots can be a bit pricey, but everything is custom fit and they will literally keep your order on record forever. Everything is fully servicable and the...

    Diesel Wrangler in 2010!

    Interesting talk about how complex modern diesels have become, but let's not forget how complex gasoline motors have become as well with variable valve timing, direct injection, multiple 02 sensors and cats not to mention that EGR is just as heavily used on the gasoline side of things. No matter...

    Barbour International

    british motorcycle gear carries them in the states and they are well thought of over on ADVrider. http://www.britishmotorcyclegear.com/ I really like the Belstaff Classic Tourist Trophy Jacket being produced again. Updated with armor, but still classic in every way. More expensive than the...

    Just realized that when I posted this thread, I had only posted the 2nd part so it made absolutely zero sense. My apologies about that and sorry for raising a dead post.

    Turbo Diesel Swap Kit ??

    I had researched this quite a bit a few years back. If you are running a first gen xterra, then your best bet is to source a swap out of brasil. They actually offered it in the Xterra (not sure if they still do) with a turbo diesel. If I remember correctly it is the same motor that Roseanne just...

    If they brought the Jimny over to the states, would you pick one up?

    I drove one of these all over Aruba offroad. They are available in hard or soft top. The hard top I drove was not a removable top. High and Low range 4wd, and solid front axle. It had a 1.5L diesel and it was awesome!! I would buy one in a heartbeat! We followed a group of Defender 110s to this...

    The J8 thread....

    This was from my conversation with Dave at AEV. Personally, I was looking at the J8 pretty seriously, but the lack of a manual transmission killed it for me. Like you all, I too think it should have been locked front and rear from the factory. Conversation on AEV forums hints that ChryCo is...

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    I agree, sweet setup Rich. What kind of mileage are you getting with the conversion? I take it that it is a VW conversion using an acme adapters kit. Did you do the install yourself... would love to know more about this!!! :lurk: Jack
