    Willman's '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser

    Thank you for your correction, sir! A number and two letters indeed! Meh... noise for you, music for others; among all the options out there, I think the owner will consider the best option for him.

    Yaesu FT-8800R Install on 05+ Tacoma

    What antenna are you using? Nice location for the antenna but I'm thinking for visibility it would be my preference up on the hood lip as many others do. Depending on where you plan on going off-road my only concern would be brush/branch hazards catching it, especially the center "spring"...

    Three letters Wil... 4BT. Just witnessed a conversion completed on a 62 at Iron Pig Offroad. Amazing power and it sounds so sweet!

    Do the 1 inch body lift for all the reasons stated above - I regret not having done it now.

    I don't regret having an AT even with my GVW and 3RZ (2.7), especially now that I regeared. Like CH said when it mattered to have an MT then it was a big deal, but if it's a heavy offroad vehicle, slow is where it shines and you don't need to "row" your way through obstacles with an MT. Having...

    Willman's '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser

    Are you kidding me? $500? Your real name must be Nic "sleeps with the fishes" Wilman for making an offer that couldn't be refused... Great score! I wonder if I found something like that if I could explain it away as, "Look what followed me home, honey. Isn't it cute?"

    Opinions needed from the TLC Guru's

    Well, it looks clean and is a blank slate to build up from. The best part of 190K miles I'd want to see maintenance records. There is a shop in Fredericksburg, VA, about 80 miles south of Bethesda, MD who are LC restoration experts who could give the vehicle an inspection, Iron Pig Offroad.

    Recommend that sliders be your first mod - they are cheap insurance against costly rocker damage. A Tacoma "out-of-the-box" 4WD is pretty capable for most off-road conditions. Step up to some 32's or 265's which require no trimming or mods on stock wheels and then grow into your new addiction...

    Sorry man. Time is money too. Wishing them bad karma - hope these scumbags get their just desserts.

    I think they have a shot for that juju stuff - it's going around. What symptoms of this juju are you having?

    storage nets?

    Although not necessarily a storage net, another product that I think has a lot of possibility that makes commercial and military products for all manner of land, water, and aircraft is "Load Tamer Cargo Nets." I've seen some of their applications for military vehicles from John Deere Gators to...

    Building My Overland Tacoma: Plans, Progress, Perplexions

    That's pretty slick! How do you like it and do you still have it mounted? About what did it cost and did you get it from Canada or do they market in the USA as well? Thanks...

    Canback top question

    Very, very nice job! Will the Bajarack require some middle support with the current spacing of the spreader bars, or do you only intend for a light load on the roof rack?

    Mexico Weekend: Jan 2010

    It looks like a very nice warm trip, especially so since I'm hunkered down with about 6 inches of snow of an anticpated 24 inch total here in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. :costumed-smiley-007

    Favorite Pork Rub

    This commpound has always been popular with my family and our guests... A liberal dusting of fresh cracked Pepper, Seasoned Salt (e.g., Lawry's brandname), Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika or Hot Paprika for more adventurous palates.

    Land Cruiser Photos

    Well, nuh-uh, Champ. There are several stock 40's in the 14 vehicle caravan, including a tan one with a beautiful Paki top that I would consider selling a kidney for. :drool: I was the only deviation from that glorious sight. I didn't see your picture submission criteria in the previous post...
