    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    I had a full length Brownchurch. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with something that didn't have sides to it. I don't remember if Brownchurch makes one without sides or not. I like the fully flat Frontrunner roof rack. If you know how to strap/tie stuff down properly, you don't...

    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    I've had both the BW and the LT230. I prefer the LT230 if given the choice. I did not find it to be any louder, nor experience a change in mpg. To me, the LT230 is almost bullet proof, although some of the Brits seem to think otherwise. I've seem more BW's have issues than I've seen LT230's...

    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    If you are a tall person, you'll have a wee bit more headroom going non-sunroof. Without the little motor for the sunroof, you'll gain a few inches. I'm 6'-1" and it was one of the best mods I ever did!

    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    Yeah, THIS. No matter what you do... new seals, etc... it will ALWAYS eventually leak! If you have to swap out transmissions, might as well throw in the LT230 transfer case while you're at it. You won't regret that change.

    A "Toyota Guy" Buys a Classic

    It's YOURS... do what you want. :chef: And congrats on the purchase! You will be overly impressed with what it can do. I never ran lockers and was able to keep up with those who had them. I don't know if that year had the viscous coupling transfer case or not but you can "mess" with it on...

    SOLD - Tepui Ayer - Fresno CA - $750 obo

    Man, this is so tempting to get but I'm not sure a width of 48" is large enough to sleep 2 adults comfortably. I'm 6"'-1" and around 250 lbs. And then add in my fiancee... who has never been camping.

    Looking at a series III 109 MoD FFR

    That gets my vote if it counted! As long as the canvas fits tight and creates a good seal, I think you would be pleased with that set up.

    Land cruiser straight 6 vs V8?

    I briefly had a Land Cruiser 80 with the straight 6. It drive me nuts! I was used the the under-powered Land Rover V8's and I knew how to squeeze more power out of them but this LC 6 cyl was a total dog. If I were to ever purchase a Land Cruiser again, it would definitely be one with a V8. I...

    Range Rover Series I

    4 door RRC's can be had all day long. Just checked my local Craig's List and there are 9 within an hours drive of me, ranging from $3500 to $13,900.

    Range Rover Series I

    RRC's are all over here in the US. A 2 door is a little harder to find. Is there any specific reason why you would want a 2 door? Have you ever driven one vs a 4 door vs a 4 door LWB (long wheel base)? Having driven or owned all three, I would choose a LWB any day, all day. The extra 8" of...

    Good looking 110! I'm about 6 months out from purchasing one.

    Range Rover Series I

    Range Rover Series 1? Do you mean a Land Rover Series 1 80" or 107"? A Series 1 is difficult to find in the States and if you do, they are either total rust buckets or kept as collector items (no matter what shape they are in). I have a friend who has one that runs and he brings it out on...

    New Defender likely to arrive in USA in 2019

    Ugh, the release date keeps getting pushed back. As long as it has the same or wee bit better out of the box performance of the LR4, I'll be happy. My only gripe is I hope they don't have too much plastic on it like the new Discovery 5.

    Tepui - NEW Custom fit Sleeping bags

    Seeing the pics in the tent, am I correct in assuming these are 2-person bags?

    Diesel Disco II conversion

    The skills of my fellow ExPo members never ceases to amaze me! I couldn't even begin to do something like this. Very cool.
