Biggest issues will be closing it up at that height.

Rotella T6 full synth in the '88, '93 & '05. also the '92 when I owned it.

Thanks, didn't know this. Oh - and BTW I'd skip the Element. Bought one new in 2003. owned for 3 years. Hated every one of them. Although it does haul a lot of stuff. Suicide rear doors suck with a young family.

I went with an explanation of TENT. Never an issue.

Actually the 3.8l '03+ is preferred

Assume you are looking to dump the whole thing and not part it yourself? What would be the $$ damage to the buyer? Feel free to PM me.

Agreed. Once traction control came into production in '03 they ditched LSD

I concur with this comparison between my '05 and either the '92 or '93 with the 3.0l. Fantasizing about a 3.8l 5 speed auto (and Gen 3 suspension) swap into a Gen 1 SWB. That would be sweet. (Paj EVO)

agree for hockey pucks

Montero. '98 and older with Factory Rear Locker. '03 and newer with fantastic electronic traction control (although sub $5k might be a challenge on the newer trucks). Mitsubishi LSD or ARB airlocker can be easily be fitted to the front. Rear typically 9.5" and front 8". Personally I'd...

Virtually cannot be done until vehicle is 25 years old from the day of manufacture.

Yes, Thanks Mike. Paul

I had one of these for a while, mighty fine tent for the $$. Not sure when they will be back in stock. Send them an email. Very responsive. http://tuffstuff4x4.com/products/tuff-stuff-rooftop-mounted-tent-free-annex-changing-room/

I had a '76 way back in about 1989 or 1990 and slept in the back on several occasions (with GF too). I'm 5'8" - no issues. I think the interior room of the earlier trucks were about the same.

Price check. Exxon-Mobile tonight on my way home from work. 87 octane $1.699 92 octane (Premium here) $2.499 = 47% upcharge.

ya'll need to do some myth-busting on what Octane numbers really mean.

agreed

Completely disagree. At least in my area Premium 93 octane is 30% more expensive than regular. There is NO WAY you will recover this extra cost in improved efficiency. This would mean that my 18mpg typical '05 would need to go to 23.4mpg to break even. Never going to happen.

Plus getting a bank or lending institution to lend money towards something validates the "value" of the rig. For example: Maybe you are in love with your $85K Syncro - but if you can't find a third party to validate its worth over $30K by giving you money towards it, then you know its...
