I appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that's gone into your build. Something different than the usual modifications expands the body of knowledge and pushes the envelop for new applications. Ask me how I know... Overlanding is just another event to plan for that will fit into the...

Nice looking truck Terry. Looking forward to more pics and your mods.

The suspension really keeps the rubber firmly planted on all 4s. It is a good stretch getting in and out of the cab but it's good exercise for the retired guy.

You know, I wondered what it was like on those twisty mountain roads at speed and when I was going through the mountains in BC I asked the CT4WD guys I was travelling with what it looked like; was it swaying or rocking in the corners? They commented on how flat it stayed in the corners and how...

Nah - OME is great stuff I had it on there for several years and the truck did great. LOL! I tell you what -- if that inside source was a real friend he would have distracted the trooper by running around the shoulder, waving his arms and hollering when his wife pulled over. Instead, sbly...

Wrong. You've given no facts but offered misinterpreted articles from an enthusiast magazine (not the "industry") on the installation of aftermarket products and quoted them completely out of context. You even have the cheek to ignore when I document your blunder and continue to substitute a...

RMP&O has kind of made me feel guilty about being a slacker so I'm going to start working on a trip report, but to answer your question everything is working fine. It climbs really well; obstacles I thought I'd need a locker for, I don't. It's very stable at highway speeds and cornering. The...

Thanks! If I was in your shoes I'd have gone for an 80, too. If you make it to Quantico way give me a holler.

Post # 241. Anything more than that would require a lot of creative writing and picture downloading, and you got the monpoly on that. ;) I'm also really bad about taking pictures so I often rely on the kindness of others. It did great but what else would I say? I've done some smaller trips...

Now that is a pretty neat vehicle, whatever you may drive.

You've had ample time to take pictures Terry - now post them up!

Then you stand alone having this conversation. The discussion has never been about other 4WD vehicles like Land Rovers or Patrols. It has been about Land Cruisers. Again, this is another tactic to distract readers and paint a thin veil of reason for your argument. After repeated requests...

Strawman? You can't be serious. The problem with internet forums is we can read what you previously said and remind you of those words. Specifically, this is what you said... "Meh.. the 80 series (non US version) was the last of the real cruisers. Everything beyond that has the styling only...

Check.

You bring up some interesting points beyond just your opinion; not all of which I agree with but its all good. Although I'm still unsure why my quoted text you accused as being fallacious. I'm curious - what does your metal key fit? I assume already it's not a Beetle. :D

So do we just stay on this thread when you start working on the FJC solid axle or will you start a new thread? ;)

I recall your old Tacoma and you took it on the trails from the pictures you showed. Will you ever take the 80 off road? Then you already know the answer. Leave them off or wait for even more body damage to occur when they trail takes its toll. My Tacoma's rear quarter panel armor almost...

Nice shot! Brrrr...
