If he drives the wagoneer I'm sure he's not worried about mpg. Those things were not known for being economical.

Land cruiser. Best 4x4xfar ;)

A cops "right" to carry doesn't out way my right. As a cops life isn't more important than any other citizen. I don't care if it makes a cops job "more difficult" If I see a situation and I'm there, I'll do something.

To each his own I guess. Weight does have to do with longevity. Hence lots of nickel in the block. doesn't wear out. Saw a guy turbo a 2f with no issues. Never heard of a bent crank on mud. The only time 7 main bearings comes into play is high rpm. Low rpm what the 2f is designed for its a non...

It's not a dog :) it's a wonderful engine for what it was designed for. Low revving lugging off road. I've had my lug so low the brake light came on, then I just push the throttle and it comes right back to life. Plus they have a very high nickel content. They are strong. That's why they...

Ok your hatred is apparent for the 2f. Kinda silly and not really called for as they are super reliable engines. But you do what you gotta do.

Put a Toyota 4.7 in it.

The 2f isn't a dog. I live at 5000' and I can tow my 2000 pound pop up around and maintain the speed limit.

Once again. Steel soldiers are fans of anything but the m1078. The 1078 is way better off-road. Way more power. Why not look at getting the 6 wheel drive version. Lmtvs are reliable. Way more reliable than the 900 series trucks we had. A unimog is cheaper than a fuso. You need to look around.

How about a unimog. You can find 1300s for 10-15 grand in Europe. Import it and have the best truck ever made.

It's friendly as long as you follow the strict rules and bend over for the mods that are all on power trips.

And over there if you don't bow down to the holy m35, they focus their anger at you.

A 1078 weighs about 16000 pounds empty. But it'll carry a lot more than a fuso. I've driven tons of them all over the place. They are good trucks. They make lots of power and are simple to drive. You'll need a cdl though as they are air brakes

Unimog. The perfect machine for everything.

The vehicle he drives is light years more complex than a model t. But yet it's "simple" and reliable.

Take me on one of your adventures. Yesterday I saw a white g driving around. Made me want to stop him and check it out.

That's a straw man argument. Any vehicle requires maintenance. But if you were to go to Australia or Africa. You will still see old cruisers living their life in off road excursions.

Well my 60 with a crap ton of miles is far from a maintenance nightmare. Being on a land cruiser specific board (mud) I would argue that older cruisers have tons of issues. I'm not seeing it on the board.

Wow you're wrong. The 4.0 only had issues the first year or so. I am on that site. The 3.4 doesn't have head gasket issues. Considering that the head gasket is a maintenance item. It makes it a not brainer. When the mileage comes up change it and move on. Not that big of a deal. Rooter...
