Problem with the Middle East is it is very hard to export trucks from those countries. At least that is what I was led to believe by a guy doing it. Latin America is close by, most people shy away due to thinking the trucks are to beat down. And a lot of them are, but not all. Cheers

This thread has gone pretty far off course..... I say again, import more! 1989 70-series can be imported very soon. It is not hard to import, it just costs some cash. Most people go for Australia to import but it is not a big deal to import from a LHD country such as any in Central America. And...

Thanks! I went back and forth trying to decide on tires. 315s just look small to me on an 80 and closer to 37" looks just right. Price difference wasn't to bad so I decided on the 345s. Where I live snow and ice is also a big concern. A couple years ago I bought a tire groover-siper for the 84...

I just bought: Metaltech 2" coil spacers SOR dash cover Next purchases: Procomp 7069 16" alloy wheels BFG KM2s 345/75R16 OEM radius arm bushes OEM inner axle seals. I thought to keep this thread from being so boring with blah'ing on that I would post up some pictures of previous trucks I...

I really like the leds! Looks great! I need to do that myself, was just looking at the kits last night. I did a full led conversion on the FJ60, I don't think you saw it though before that truck was gone. Awesome upgrade, in the FJ60 in made the biggest difference in the dash. We need some...

I would also like to comment a bit about the range of the truck. I do not like having to stop for fuel often on a trip. I do not like carrying fuel cans. For me in my trucks, I need to be able to do at least 350 miles between fuel stops to be happy. I might do a drive any time of the day and at...

Zimm The cardan shaft would be of no use with a c&t, without it maybe. On a linked suspension the pinion doesn't move much when the suspension cycles. At least from what I know and understand, maybe it does with radius arms though? I don't think so though. Now with leaf springs, the pinion is...

I know on the list but you know me!! ;) I did not weigh it front and rear, should have but didn't. You can figure though that two guys, two dogs and a little bit of gear was a solid 350-400lbs. Which puts it at about 4800 empty. Pretty good I would say! Cheers

^what Kurt said.... New stereo installed. I like it!! Just bought me e-locker wiring kits and a new leather wheelskin this evening. I am very close to buying tires & wheels! :) Cheers

Decreased ground clearance and bolted on means more chance for failure.

Well, after a nap, 1800 miles and a few trips off-road I have a solid idea and plan on what I want to do to the truck and what it needs. Here is my list, more or less in this order! ;) -install new stereo -E-lockers wired up, using Inchworm's kit. -new windshield gasket, installed correctly...

Well, I just finished an 1800 miles round trip jaunt in the Cruiser. I need to go through my receipts to know what my mpg were on the whole trip but was tracking mpg on the way out to Oregon. A strong head wind for most of it screwed my mpg, ie 12-13mpg but I did get 17.5mpg for about 200...

Thanks brother man! You are a very good reference for me with the truck, since you just had one and did a ton of work/upgrades to it. The dunes was a hardcore off-road test for the truck. Next up, a long distance HWY drive out to Oregon, should be around 2,000+ miles round trip. I have been...

Bro, it is screaming for a SAS!! :p Watch the video folks in my thread if you want to hear (sorry you can't see it) where he rubs. Jason is a maniac in the dunes and as he states, " if it shows an issue in the dunes it needs attention." He is 110% on the money with that statement, the dunes is...

This one looks like it would be sweet for signaling Batman! :)

As has been said, converting from RHD to LHD is not to hard but you certainly needs a fair amount of fab skills, tools and a few other things. I thought about doing it to a high roof JDM 60-series. Then decided if I really want a high roof it would be easier to simply cut off the roof and weld...

Thank you. I just bought a new stereo last night. Old school Cds just don't work for me. I was going to get a pretty nice touch screen deck with DVD and some bling but in the end decided I don't need any of that. So I just bought a pretty plain jane JVC deck with iPod port. I had a JVC in my...

Our line on the left, my buddies on the right. Very sketchy, I had to decide fast what to do. The plan had been to run across the top of this dune until the transition was less farther down and then drop in. However, the sand was very soft and we started sliding sideways at 40mph! Talk about...

I always thought the 100-series was ugly but I got to say, now it is growing on me! Very nice truck Jason and you proved the other day they are not to shabby in fairly stock form. I am looking forward to seeing what you do to this truck and where it ends up going. Oh and how long you own it! ;)...
