75++, preferably between 80-90% ;-)

It's a financing question, not a question or value. I'm convinced an EV is right value for me, alas if I don't have the upfront capital, I can't enter that stage. The Pauper's Plight.

What did you use?

I HIGHLY approve of those wheels and tire size choices!

Some of us have to make compromises on tire sizing. Through the plethora of options, do you want a size that is simply not made? I do: 275/85R16 would have been ideal on my old LC80. A step up from the venerable 255s, but give a bit more width for larger vehicles, 255/80R18 keeps the skinny...

Heck yes. Need to win that lotto soon, get out behind this desk and live more!

Again, we may be arguing subjectivity here. I do not think the Toyota V8s (2UZFE) are good choice for the LandCruiser. Not at all. In my biased opinion, Toyota did this to sell a "V8" engine name to gasoline-thirsty consumers. One can easily tell driving as well as towing how high this...

As to the drivability, we very well may be arguing subjective viewpoints :) For all off-highway driving at least that I do, my need isn't power and the RPMs needed to get it, it is indeed torque (not that I don't want HP when needed).

Imagine a torque curve that peaks early (say 1600rpm) and falls off nicely as the RPMs go up. Now let us say you are driving along very happily at 2200rpm and you encounter a hill or an obstacle or whatever. Your speed decreases but what happens to the potential torque as the RPMs drop...

I don't know the engines that you've stated, but as I did study this stuff back in Uni, allow me to respond to maybe a couple of your questions? As you've stated an "overbored" engine where the bore diameter ratio is longer than the stroke (values arbitrary) are of course able to rotate faster...

As a small antithesis to my own Long Road today, it abruptly ended ? No idea where the bridge went. (I recall it being bridged and/or filled a decade ago.)

I can't see my face either, but that does not prevent me from being self-conscious :oops:

Dude. Do you have a good public use map of that area? I would LOVE to explore that area more.

Ha! Funny story I picked up a 1999 uzj as a "commuter" car for me sometime back which has morphed (by plan) into being the car my son uses. He drives pizza delivery. It came with and still has really nice new BFG ATs on it, I'm not sure that one has actually seen dirt under it. #irony

But have you tried these tires? I thought the same thing; I hope you could read that sentiment from my post? For everything that most of us do here for "overlanding" these things work brilliantly. Minus a select couple of folks (and I once too was a hater) everyone says the very same thing...

I approve of those wheels ;-)

It has been a few years since I've been around, but I really hope that ain't the case nowadays. At the same time the reason I posted the tire info ? I still feel lesser an overlander, but they just keep working.

Super nice build and process. I am weirdly-discerning on "mods" and I will tell your truck really resonates with me!
