Wow, talk about telling a story with your photos! McCurry's "Child Soldiers" portfolio was amazing! Thanks for the links.

As far as "what is a safe speed at lower pressures", there are just too many variables to give a definitive answer. Some examples of the variables include: vehicle weight, max anticipated speed, dynamic cornering (turning at speed), tire's tread agressivness, surface driving upon. You need...

You can go as narrow as the front (or even narrower), but you'd have to run two different pairs of wheels with different offsets. Since most people only want one spec wheel for all four corners, you're stuck with the rears being out a little further. (I'm speaking for a second-gen Dodge, don't...

Wow, no one has said "Autos are for wimps" or "real men only drive manuals". I'm impressed! I was a steadfast manual guy until a year ago with the purchase of an automatic in a Dodge diesel (48RE). It shifts firm, no mushy-ness at all. It has a factory external cooler that is HUGE, almost...

A rebuilt VP44 costs the same as the legendary P7100, and a few hundred more than a CP3 (late-model unit)--$1,900 from a good shop such as Industrial Injection. A newly rebuilt pump uses upgraded electronics and an internal friction point has been upgraded, resulting in a very reliable...

Ad is correct, and you are correct. That family of engines was designed by Detroit Diesel, a subsidiary of GM. The Duramax, a much newer engine, was designed by Isuzu.

Legalities of the diesel? I'm curious as to how the legal issues of the diesel have been worked out. I don't think the engine has been certified for USA emissions past 2006, which is why it went away in the Liberty????? So, putting it in anything '06 or older would be OK, but not something...

Welcome, Gasman! There's a good "how to post photos" sticky here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2376

No affiliation. This looks like it would make a good starting platform for somebody. OME suspension and Warn hubs and a few other goodies... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Land-Cruiser_W0QQitemZ110398362291QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item19b44152b3

:xxrotflma Actually, I heard it was 1985. :xxrotflma

And, your Land Rover is what happens when a person with a terminal case of wanderlust keeps the same vehicle for 30 years (and counting), which is just awesome! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you told me at the Moab National Rally that you had an estimated 500,000 miles on The Green...

Banish the thought, James. Yours is a family vehicle, and it just wouldn't be appropriate...:sombrero: Scott

Agreed. Every time I see pics of your set-up, TeriAnn, I find something new to marvel at. Scott

You mean Spirit (the dog)? Or Spot the tracking/emergency device?:sombrero:

The catch is that it suffered a light engine fire when the oil cooler line broke. I found this on LandRoverExchange.com. No affiliation. I just thought it would be a really nice project for someone to build lots of sweat equity in a D90, since they usually sell for $30-$40K. Look it up on...

Now I'm feeling a bit bad that I labeled my recent donation "dog food and gas". Just wanted to let you know it was a bit of humor!!! I expect you to eat if there's any left over... Scott

Jim- Could you describe what bits and pieces you changed to get the ft & rr tracks to line up. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine. Was yours a dually pickup, or a cab & chassis? Scott

Not sure what you're asking here, because if you buy new you can only get the 6.7. But it is the only one of the big 3 that meets all 50 states regs for the "new" 2010 standard. If you mean how will the 6.7 hold up to the 5.9, well...the 5.9 was living free and easy due to an efficient design...
