So the Ranger payload I've seen tossed around is about 1800. I'm not quite sure what you mean by the zr2 has poor payload though. According to the spec sheet the ZR2 has a payload of 1503 lbs. The Z71 shortbed which is probably closer in line with the Ranger is spec'd at 1619 and the Z71 long...

Holy thread revival Batman! Still awesome advice though. I’m no longer a teacher and haven’t been for two years. My school had an awesome maker space and our robotics won nationals many years. I currently work as a digital marketer/web developer but am very much still open to research. I just...

I’ve seen two or three articles at this point regarding the ranger in Outside Magazine. Anyone else noticed this? I wonder what Outside is making by publishing just complementary articles. I mean one was titled something about exploring New England and was written under the guise of talking...

I've watched several reviews of the rangers and one concern that seems to keep cropping up is the articulation. The tires seem to leave the ground rather readily. Has this been discussed and I missed it? Also the back seat only fold to like 30 degrees instead of flat and doesn't have the 60/40...

https://www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/top-6-off-road-expedition-vehicles The ranger makes this list of top off-road vehicles in oz And this one too https://www.tonywhitegroup.com.au/10-best-road-vehicles-available-australia-2017

Anyone got a build thread on one of these yet?

Front bumper would be replaced with the new arb summit. Wheels would be replaced with white steel maybe. I’m in no rush though so I can wait for the price to drop a bit. It’s been there a few months and slowly creeping down.

What exactly didn’t you like about the cc/sb set up? How would sleeping in a camper shell on that thing hold up? [I’m 5’7”]

So AEV will be selling the skid plates, bumpers, all of it. So the only real difference at this point is the multimatic dssv dampers and such. Any zr2 owners want to speak on those? Are they worth the upgrade? Also thanks everyone for validating my thought process and giving some great...

I hate the wheels and would replace them almost immediately. And arb lockers can be added. There’s roughly 20k price difference between that truck and a bison. Is the bison 20k better or could I take 20k over time and make this one just as capable? That’s kind of what I meant with “is there a...

Just curious if there was any reason someone might choose the Bison or Z72 over a Z71 given the price difference? What's the curve on when you would choose a different model and why? I ask because this 2015 Z71 Colorado with camper shell and 6ft bed just came up for sale near me with 20k miles...

@darien Pretty sure I see you rig at University Commons sometimes. At least on Kingston Pike.

Have you considered trying to buy a tiny home instead of converting the lx? It would provide shelter for sure. Also do you have the ability to work remotely via the web?

I meant how often will it be on the road/trail and not in the shop. How much can I trust it if my long trips are from the southeastern united states up to Montana and over to the PNW? That kind of thing.

Will this be the build thread?

Don’t get me wrong. Land cruisers are obviously better built. But I’m not asking about the quality of the build but of the ease of use. Given the choice between a higher mileage 10 year old cruiser and a newer 5th gen, why would one choose either for North American travel? The occasional...

The 100 or the 200?

I'm very interested in continuing the conversation in this vein. If you had to choose between a 100 series and a 5th gen, which would you choose and why? My local toyota dealer currently has a 16 5th gen for sale for 33k and a 100 series, maybe an 06, with 92k miles for 28k. How did the 5th gen...

Oh he's seen that article and excerpt before on this very forum. That's how I found it 2-3 days ago. It didn't change his mind then or now. Also why I haven't bothered to comment. He's obviously an angry troll, as he has these discussions fairly often apparently.
