Really cool rig... http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/858610264.html They should have dropped in a diesel, but I hear thos H6 engines are pretty reliable. As for the price....little steep if you ask me, especially considering the mileage.

Just curious if some 16" steel wheels from a 2008 taco will fit my 01'? It looks like the 08' wheels are 4.5" backspacing, so they should work I would think. Any ideas? Thanks-

I see that the TDI engines are a popular swap for US guys for obvious reasons. But something I have been wondering for a while, what is it like to get parts for those engines? Can you get parts from a local LR dealer or are they all special order? Along those same lines, does anybody have any...

Finally got some pics of the rig with the new rubber. Positives: ALOT easier to turn and handles much better. It really made a night and day difference! Much easier to maneuver at speeds below 5 mph and the all around resistance at the wheel has decreased fairly substantially. The engine...

I searched but came up empty handed.... Over on boards such as IH8mud/Pirate4x4 there is typically a lower is better attitude towards overall crawl ratio's. Does anybody have an opinion on ratios for an expedition rig? I remember reading an article a couple years ago about a exp. Land Rover...

So I have been kicking around the idea to throw in some lower gears. I have been debating 5.29's if/when I went with the 255/85's but had no idea how it may impact my mileage so I thought I would do a quick comparison. I had to make the trip up to Olympia from Portland a couple time this...

The best cross comparison I have been able to make is a 235/85/R16 which is 32" x approx 9.5". Anybody know if you can actually get a decent tire in the 7.0R16 size in the US? The reason I ask is that I want to get used to wheeling on these treads in my Tacoma and want to standardize my...
