Here is the quote from the home page article... Thanks for taking the time to reply to my rambling post! Sounds like you have a good plan to me. I am not familiar with the t-case in these, is it the same as the 80-series too or...? And yeah if you can keep Rover axles from exploding you...

Oh and hey if you want a really nice rear bumper....talk to CBI Off-Road. They have done some things for the 70-series, including a custom fuel tank.

Wow that is one super clean truck!! Almost looks brand new! Good find on this one. You say on the website interior is like a combo of 70-series and 80-series. Looks more like 70-series and 60-series top me. Those outside mirrors look exactly like FJ62's. The truck to me looks like a 70-series...

I really like the look of your old 60-series. The diesel 80 looks killer too! Good to see somebody soldering their wiring, so many people don't do that. Just picked up a solder station recently myself.

impressive work on that fuel tank.....that is the kind of stuff I like to see!

For an on road truck I wouldn't run hemis, rather use tres. For a dedicated off-roader, hemis is what I use.

I drove to Panama and back 2x on a set of BFG A/Ts. Not a single flat. I would say it is the number one pick for me for an overland truck. If something like the KM2 works for you but you don't like performance on ice/snow. Sipe the inner rows of lugs. I did that on my Maxxis Creepies and it...

Some stuff on Jaime's trip in Panama.... http://worldoftrak.com/2012/02/14/trak-kayak-circumnavigation-of-isla-de-coiba-in-panama/ http://worldwildadventureexp.blogspot.com/ I am sure there will be lot's more.

awesome....waiting for your posts and pictures!

My 83 Patrol got a one page article in NSM so I would say it is a pretty open minded group running the magazine.

Why not an FJ60? To rugged for the family? I was going to say at $8k I think he is a bit steep but he came down to $7k. I think it is worth $5-6K as it sits. While he has probably spent several thousands or more on mods, that doesn't make it worth a lot more then something else. Mods never...

I have had 4 or 5 dead Optimas in the last 6-7yrs. I will never buy another one of their products. My 2 cents. :)

When I had my 04 Taco.....I had a red top for starting and a yellow top for the 45L Engel. I had the yellow top on a National Luna dual battery set up. It seemed to me if I didn't start the truck for 2-3 days the Engel would drain the yellow top down dangerously low. Once this happened once or...

I didn't know that. Thanks for that tidbit of info. It explains how my 83 Patrol was imported in 1987.

Sorry you seem to be having so many problems with you truck.... I found good cheap mechanics in Antigua. It is also a great place to lay low and chill out for awhile.

Nice! Great read and pictures. I love me some Trigger fish tacos! I bet the goat feast was fun and tasty! I was going to head to Agua Verde when I was in Baja but opted out due to a problem with one of my air bags in the suspension. I will have to check it out next time down. cheers Oh and...

I dig how the trip report is presented with just pictures and captions. I also like that this guy has balls and humor. I enjoyed going through the pictures.

Funny.... It looks like most of us go prepared which is a good thing! I think the items I have used the most over the years would be my high lift and a shovel.

^ sweet!! welcome to the forum!! :)

Nice looking skids shmabs, much better then most of the mass produced junk I see. BTW, I wasn't saying Scott needs 3/8" skids. Simply that I have bent them. I agree skids are for trashing. 1/8" though, I would trash that super fast. It would work for keeping debris or roadkill from coming up...
