Thanks! Unfortunately, I keep up too much other paying work to be able to post regularly on the '83. I just started a BJ74 Land Cruiser build yesterday. You guys will see that here on ExPo soon. All it takes is one customer.

That is neat. I can't wait to see some action photos.

Well put.

I think that's like saying all apples are red. It's a gross generalization. Americans build one thing very well: full size trucks. You cannot compare a Dodge Ram with a Fiat. Even mid size trucks from American MFG's are riddled with problems from manufacturing and basic design flaws, so I don't...

Your what? Are you building a crawler? I took a look at your Chevy build thread. Cool stuff. In order of probability of sighting: Sasquatch Yeti Loch Ness Santa Harry

I did not realize that. In that case, totally bulletproof and I like it. I still want to beef up the handles on mine though.

The decision, to me, is not a very cut and dried one. It boils down to need. Do you need a truck? Do you need to tow? If not, then keep the 80.

That is a beautiful place to camp. I wish we had more of that around here.

You're back! Haven't heard from you in a while. Were you in Washington? Thanks.

OK, it ain't the '83 Hilux, but we did take a trip recently to Barrett Lake and I thought I'd share some of the pics. My Rover Some of the guys that went along

Picture a miniature PG&E line truck without the rack, that's what it'll be. Definite cool streak. How many farmers would be willing to spend the money to build a solid axle Toyota mini truck just so they could go beat it up around their farm. Any old Ford would be good for the job, but who...

Maybe. Probably actually. If you're going to be an ***, you better dot your i's and cross your t's.

The Cruisers are not known for their power, so if towing is in your future, I might go with the Dodge. I actually have a Dodge, but it's a 2500 Cummins so it doesn't really compare to the Power Wagon. I like the Dodge for its simplicity. It doesn't have a lot of bells or whistles and I like it...

I am really starting to wrap my head around the idea of building a full size Chevy. Some of my favorite trucks were Chevy's so why not?

It all boils down to tires. You want bigger tires to be able to get the truck down those lonely roads. You need the suspension and gears to go with the tires and then at some point, you need more horsepower to push it all. Need vs want Tires = want Everything else = need

I just used it on a battery hold down bracket. I think I could find plenty of uses for it.

I believe there's a similar thread already going about this, or rather, trading a Tundra in for a Power Wagon. My opinion, different tools in the tool box. Each one has it's own attributes and they hardly compare. I say one of each.

That's funny. These wheels barely fit over the Tacoma brakes as it is and I don't think I could get him to spring for an additional $5000 for brakes and a new wheel/tire combo. Nice idea though.

That is actually pretty nice. Ours needs to be built to accommodate a 100 gallon tank for liquid fertilizer. The surface is to be as low as possible for ease of hefting large object onto it and we are going to incorporate a small gas powered pump, hose reel, air compressor and air tank. I...

Whoa dude. Sorry for trying to help. Point is, if I got it wrong, maybe the OP's mechanic did too. Thanks for making my point for me.
