For 2" lift plus 35's i used a hightlift or a bottle jack with some cribbing depending on the situation, the jacks and suff were in a drawer. I think maybe it all depends on where you want to store it. Whats wrong with the stock jack? You think it'll be a collectors item someday? :)

super stiff springs.

I dunnkow. Suddenly the Gren looks like the smart buy. I have a1 ton diesel. ever take a 1 ton offroad? its like guiding a boxcar on a goat path, all because you need that footprint and load capacity for your sleeping bag and partner stove.

I still havent hit the pre order yet. I Love what i built, mostly to look at, but, i love it. I do keep coming back to the original "basic farm implement intention" vs the "upscale" mall Defender, and my little voice is like... ****** am I doing ordering a 97k budget Gwagon??? Just get a later...

77?? how the hell did you that? Im at 97.

I hit the button, then reversed and added another 5000 in crap. I have no self control.

The Expedition Portal article stating that these are a value, is foolishness. The only vehicle close to this that it's compared to is the LC200 Heritage and the fit, finish and materials are a world apart. If this truck were being built to any sort of scale with any large company where tooling...

i came in at 93000. this was originally marketed as a farm implement to replace the Defender because the new defender went upscale. It's 13% more than the defender and its no farm implement. I may still buy it becaue it is a cool truck, and there isn't one like it, but it's also not the...

See, that's my sticking point. I was gonna get rid of the fj60's and either the f150 or the f350, and get this, but while its a capable truck, its not close to being the the cheap doall improved Defender. Tad small. Tad too low on towing. and not as modular as advertised, as far as I can tell...

5k is the US allotment I believe. Think about how much hes fronted, and 5000 with people buying spendy options up to 80,000 average is only 400 million USD gross.

I'm interested in the opinions of those that are actually tire kicking with money. Actual potential buyers. (Or owners if youre in Oz or Scotland or something) I took the test drive 4/27/23 at Buds Creek, and my "rational" mind flipped to, "forget it" I want it mind, so I'm looking to discuss...

sexy.. although, considering ive replaced the drivers side flair on my dually twice, i'm certain those boxes would end up causing catastrophic damage with me wheeling it.

1500 for the entire custom trailer, rated at what? 2500lbs? what did the new company say it would cost?

And an sr5 is 30g. toyota also had 2 different 4.7 blocks. one for the sequoia plaform and one for the landcruiser. the trd supercharger was only supposed to be used on a landcruiser.

Telling me something is more desirable than a rover v8, isn't the same as telling me something is good. if were gonna go all classic, keep in mind, the recipie for american pony cars was to take out the typical passenger car drivetrains, and replaced them with the high torque truck v8's...

I'll change the topic a little.... I thought what is described the ceiling aircraft controls in some writeups .... was cool (sort of, i guess, the bonanza i fly in doesnt have those.) ... but then i got to thinking, what would i want up there? I like to keep my head pointed straight and be able...

I wouldnt bank on the MPG being less. My stock 2.7t in my f150 has a combined 19mpg in hilly terrain/highway on street tires, and I thought I skimmed an article where EP was getting 22 with 35's in a Chevy.

1) BMW basically designed the chassis. 2) Toyota didn't have modern 6 on the shelf, and marketing said the supra HAD to be a straight 6. If you're taking a basic chassis, the tweaking it to suit your purposes because a ground up development for a low volume unit is too expensive to be...

If diesel is your game, how about the light truck Isuzu Dmax unit? its close to whats in there now in size and power, is an inexpensive drivetrain assembly from a truck manufacturer and easily serviced in 3rd world countries. .. its <all yawn> too, granted, but there's also standard transmission...
