    Beverage recomendation....

    If you like ciders, try something "white" a Weissenbier. Add some lemon, and you're good. Ill revisit this post with brands once I go down stairs and peruse my bottle collection.

    Mauka2Makai - Our Quest Begins...An 80 Series Adventure

    I love the way you organized the back, I'd do the same, but I use my third row for the other two kids, so all my stuff has to go on the outside. its quite obvious you are in the Military.

    Mauka2Makai - Our Quest Begins...An 80 Series Adventure

    Dude, I hate to admit this, but here, in this forum I will. I have some exotic motorcycles over the years, and I had a YZF750SP a few years ago. I rode it hard, track days, etc, and at about 7000 miles it picked up a "rattle". I talked to some folks who "knew Yamahas" and they convinced me it...

    Mauka2Makai - Our Quest Begins...An 80 Series Adventure

    That kit is worth it for the terminals alone. I have looked high and low locally for good cables and ends, and there is no way I could replicate that for what four runner is charging.

    sr5sushi's 4runner build thread

    I saw the SPITTING IMAGE of your runner last night in the HEB parking lot. Either he is an employee, or goes there often, as it is just up the street from the Y, and I stop at HEB after the a lot and see that truck. Same stance, and until recently similar roof treatment. Now its got two MTB...

    Lucky 8’s Project P38

    I'm sure you'll follow this up with some sort of post about how you didn't mean it the way it came out, but you know, you seem like a ********. And I don't like dicks. theres plenty of mall crawler forums for you to go cry at, or better yet, just ********. Justin - Im stoked to see this thing. Im...

    Defender engine swaps

    I would LOVE to put a Vortec is my Disco, (same electronics as Defender) but I just haven't seen anyone have any success with it. Land Rover saw fit to run a lot of the basic vehicle function bits through the engine ECU instead of individual ECUs, which means the ABS won't work if it can't talk...

    sr5sushi's 4runner build thread

    FOur Runner Dude, very nice runner. You have some mad skills, I like the use of shrink wrap, and the little touches. How did you secure the 550 cord to the grab handles? I have a TON of that stuff, and I want to do mine. Sometimes I wish I had bought a Runner I think its a little better for...

    Flounder's ExPo Build: Form Cycles - COMPLETED

    I agree with everything you said except the PF30 plusses. I have yet to see one that didn't creak or groan, YMMD. I have XTs on my new Niner, they rock.

    To FZJ80 or not

    primarily because it will only occasionally run... all the years that break. we have a 2002 we've had since new and it recently definitively kicked the bucket at 92,000 miles. I towed it home with my 204,000 miles 80 series. I may replace it with as nice a 100 as I can afford, or since its...

    What 80 series Mods and PM do you have planned next?

    PM wise, Im looking at a Headgasket (203350 miles,not too bad) and an across the board tune (plugs, wires, cap, filters,) at the same time. I heard some clicking from a tight right turn a few times, so BIRFS are probably looming... Mods - Im looking at finally doing the lift, a hot water on...

    Post pictures of your Land Rover.

    I wish I had gotten a picture of my 97,000 mile Disco 2 last night when it dumped its guts all over the side of the highway and stranded me a few miles from home. Or when it was being towed behind my 202,000 mile Land Cruiser that has never had so much as a headlight bulb failure. Im at a...

    Afghanistan: My 7 month "Adventure" in the Sangin valley

    Ive been back for about 20 months now, and I know it sounds crazy, but I miss it all the time. Its an insane country, but there is something about it. I was up in Ghazni/Wardak, and I think Im going to volunteer to go back next spring. It's not the place people think it is... Keep...

    Mauka2Makai - Our Quest Begins...An 80 Series Adventure

    I have an ARB steel rack, and I know its not the Baja, but I think most of these are about the same mounting point wise, I have had some honestly absurd loads on mine, and it has never flexed a bit. I like the baja from a day to day point of view as Im sure it doesn't affect fuel mileage as...
