    Do you need a carry weapon? [PSA]

    screw and auto as clearly you dont shoot, but for a truck gun that only comes out to hike/camp, get a 357 with a 4" barrel and a holster you can use as a chest rig on your back pack. if youre afraid of strangers, its front and center, and easy to get to for quicker things like a bear or cougar...

    Insights into registering FJ75 from South Africa in California

    if thats the same engine that was in massey-ferguston (sp?) tractors, you'll be at military convoy speeds at best. 70hp? i think a 2h would be more streetable, or even a 3b. did they make 75's with those in SA?

    Thread closed -G500 "pur" rolled in Hollister :(

    talk about a first world problem. you act as if a creased G is equivalent to losing your family to barrel bombs. im willing to bet hes man enough to not need others tears and sympathy over his bent sheet metal. i dont know why you assume hes like a child.

    Driving characteristics?

    and you come a cross as a wanker that just wants to take the opportunity to let people know you wasted a quarter mil on cars for driveway candy. ive owned all of them longer than you have, and to top it off, i actually wheel them, i don't take them to the hospital to impress the nurses. i know...

    Driving characteristics?

    the G is truck, but its been tuned to be a car for years. the advantage is high speed stability for a rig with a narrow track and high COG and roof. if youre the type of guy that stacks **** on the roof, even better. the price you pay is articulation. it sucks. it completely negates any...

    Used all arounder: 100 Series or 200 (depreciation and driving dynamics query)

    the G is narrower, but the track affects the turning radius making it noticeably wider, so its a wash wheeling. compared to the 100, the useful space is the same or better in the cargo area due to the shape. cant speak for the 200. suspension alterations and adding 35's is a much easier...

    Used all arounder: 100 Series or 200 (depreciation and driving dynamics query)

    the statement was comparing a G and a LC in future resale, not price paid today. comp'ing my G and my 100, the 100 is worth 1/2 what i paid for it, the G about 10g more. if you spend 30 on a G today in 5 years you'll likely get 35 or more. the 200 is gonna lose at least 10. being i have both...

    Used all arounder: 100 Series or 200 (depreciation and driving dynamics query)

    i was referring to the G. it was on the chopping block twice then large military contracts came in, and ... i guess if you gotta maintain a parts channel, you may as well get radical with the civilian versions. some of the models are just plain stupid, and they are retarded money, but they keep...

    1998 Land Cruiser only 7069 miles whats the value of this vehicle if i sell it?

    i let a 95 mustang sit for 12 years, and other than the oil change and being pristine, there hasnt been an issue for 3 years of DD. i know the buyer. well, the 315's flattened and wouldnt roll out, so i put new tires on the original wheels. other than that, the rubber parts were soft and...

    Importing Cruisers

    find only the good trucks, and charge appropriately. dont short yourself, and dont ship a lesser truck even if the buyer wants it. Be TLC, where the poor complain about his prices but envy the trucks, dont be one of the many that get hung up short on junk and trash their rep while disappearing...

    Used all arounder: 100 Series or 200 (depreciation and driving dynamics query)

    if depreciation is a driving factor, and it seems to be, i'd be looking at gwagons in that price range. thats bottom for a clean maintained unit. there will be no model changeover. when they kill it, they will be out of the market. it wont go "full on defender price skyrocket", but last of the...

    So can you straight axle a 100 or 200 series?

    if you needed 37's for some reason, or were rock crawling, in which case, you'll end up with one heavy truck for the purpose. why you would, seems to be the important part of the issue. without that driving motivation, that leaves "just 'cause", i.e. blueberry, so you already have the only...
