    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    you are absolutely correct! It is the shock package that I'm running that makes all the difference. That is precisely the point! It is the components and other variable that make it perform, not merely being IFS. Listen, I'm not some die-hard solid axle guy that claims solid axles are the...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Dude, you need to relax. It's funny that your first response to me is that I should learn about suspension before questioning someone, and then in another comment you admit to "I actually don't care much about suspension, in the sense that I merely care about performance. And I don't rock...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Ok let's talk about this because it's the only thing actually relevant to the discussion. I know full well what droop is. In fact, the ONLY reason I have a *lift* on my cruiser is to fit a larger tire. If you were to drive any roads that had any larger than a 6" rock or tree on the road you...

    LOL, you seem like a fun guy to hang out with. We can continue to one-up each other with pics of cars getting more are than the last. That is not the point. Although I have also owned a Mitsubishi Evo (which is the car in the thumbnail of that video) and have been in the air with it also. ;)...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    @Pilat You need to get out a bit more I think and stop philosophizing about all the garbage you read somewhere on the internet. You got a lot of angst built up and some fresh air will probably do you good. Your arguments have many, many flaws in them with broad assumptions and disregard for a...

    2006 or 2013 Land Cruiser?

    I've spent a fair amount of time in both models. The 200 is all around better (and the 100 is no slouch, just not on the level of the 200).

    Megacruisers?

    Since they are quite rare there isn't a dedicated section for them. There is a classifieds section of the forum to list vehicles for sale.

    Best roof rack for LC100 with plans for over-the-hood opening rooftent?

    Look at the Bowfin Cruisers racks. This would be the one I would choose if I had a 100 Series and wanted to do what you describe. Lightweight and incredibly strong rack. Having a tent open the hood is no big deal, just need to rotate it to open that way. Only consideration really is the...

    The First Gen Pickup/Hilux (79-83) Thread

    Congrats Carl Montoya on the sweet new acquisition! I really dig the blue color. This post brings this thread back up in my notifications and I realize I haven't shared any update of the 1980 pickup I shared a couple posts ago (even though that was 3 years ago). Here's a more recent pic of...

    @96Suburban Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll answer these questions then leave the thread to you and your truck. My thoughts on gearing. While the 80 is totally acceptable with 35's on stock gears IMO, lower gears is definitely benefit. If you are looking for gearing that closely matches...

    No, I do not have a compressor/supercharger. I have the hood scoop to aid in moving hot air out of the engine compartment to keep eng temps cooler. Will be installing additional vents as well. Air in through the scoop and out through the vents. Has helps significantly at reducing engine...

    Box Rocket 1995 FZJ80 Build

    Another weekend project was installing the new rear drawers from Goose-Gear. I chose a basic two drawer 50/50 split setup. Goose-gear's design uses a wall to wall perfect fit base plate that bolts down using the factory holes for the third row seat and corner tie downs. The drawers came with...

    Box Rocket 1995 FZJ80 Build

    Finished up the leather replacement on the second row over the weekend. The original leather was in bad shape. Got the leather from Lseat and chose to do black leather. Overall the new leather seems pretty good. Fitment was good (few places a bit on the loose side, but better than too tight)...

    I drove an 80 with 35's and stock gears for 15 years prior to getting this 80. I drove this one for a year or so before regearing. I'm probably in the minority with my opinion but I don't think the 80 is bad at all on 35's with stock gears. That being said, 4.88's have been nice and I'm glad...

    I actually really like the look of those 4Runner wheels on your truck. Pretty sharp.
