You will love it! I just got back from a 1200 mile trip in my 97 80 series. I used the lockers at least 10 times. Most of those times just making sure I didn't get stuck but a few needed to get through stuff.
I also spent 14 hours in the drivers seat one day, with 12 of those hours on...
I think you will be very happy with it. I have had ZERO repairs done on my 2000 100 series that is now a 10 year old SUV. My 80 had not given me any trouble either, though the prior owner did a lot of the typical stuff for me. Head gasket seems to be the main problem with the 80s.
Watch the...
It's real hit and miss. I have spent a lot of time in the least populated area of the lower 48 states (around Alvord Dry Lake in SE Oregon). It has amazed me where I got cell coverage or could send a text out even when a call didn't work. It's not 100% but still worth thinking about and could...
Eee 1000 came today
I got the Asus Eee 1000 with the 40gb Solid State Hard Disk in last night. I went with Asus for few main reasons:

2) I...
Datalux LCD Display 500nit brightness
I just got one of these off ebay and have not tested it out yet. It should be daylight viewable, but we will see here. The plan is to mount if to the dash and get to the metal supports via an air vent to secure it up to the dash without screwing bolts into...
Trackball and Keyboard
I'll post more as I have more details. Here is a pic of the keyboard circuit board from an Ativa Model # 611460 USB keyboard. All you have to do is jumper the contacts to get the letter command to your computer. I will just connect these contacts to momentary push...
I just started a new project and thought I would do a build thread here instead of the Land Cruiser site. I decided to do new GPS system based on a netbook, holux gps and a custom 3 key input system.
Here is a quick breakdown:
1) Asus Eee 1000 with 40gb Solid State Drive
2) Holux GPS slave...
Price: About $250 each or so depending on auction. Would end early for local expo buyers! I'm in Oregon.
I just thought I would post these here for any local people that might have an interest. Both of these are mine and I have them on Ebay. They both have Oregon National Geographic TOPO...

Be sure to look that the 80 series as well. You can get factory lockers if you can find one with that option. Very nice ride on the road yet tough enough off road.
