    Cost of a D1 TDI swap?

    The Series is a coiler, and we changed to Disco axles and stayed fulltime, but I have done an Atlas to allow 2wd also, but never converted the LT230 to part time, though I am sure it can be done. NOTE: The Atlas has to be the one for Toyota, cannot recall the name, but it allows both right side...

    Which 255 85 R16 to choose?

    I would do the Toyo for the siping in the snow and on the rocks myself. The Interco Truxs is available, but not a fan, while the SSR is a very good tire for Co and Moab- that is what I ran on my 90 out there and loved them. Also, if you have 17s stock, there are 255/80-17 available as well. I...

    Cost of a D1 TDI swap?

    no worries, I always go with the LT77(or 380) and LT230, removing all the Series stuff, but that is just me. Hope you recoup well and quickly!!

    Ideas for onboard wifi and gps.

    simple question as I am NOT tech savvy- if you do the antenna booster, and use a flip phone for phone service, and a tablet for wifi, both via Verizon- will the booster work for increased remote service and to what degree? Twice as good, 10x? The claims and various test I have read state this is...

    Cost of a D1 TDI swap?

    I agree totally on the 2.5 NAD, as that is the route we chose to avoid spending a ton of time and $$- and it is about as bombproof as it gets. On the other hand, the very little gains obtained going to a 300 vs a 200 is not the least cost effective. The short bellhousing R380 alone is like...

    Land Rover LR3 vs 100 series LC/Lx470 vs 1st generation Sequoia

    Mark- noticed the Tundra DC 4x4 in the sig, how you liking it? And as far as the Def/LR3 trade, all I can say is after driving the 130 to Co. and the LR3 back after Black Bear w/ side obstacles @ 200 miles on the odo, the LR3 is hard to beat for an old worn out guy ;-)

    Cost of a D1 TDI swap?

    I have been very lucky to find others who have gotten them in, and then not finish a project d/t titling, etc- some of which were Ebay finds. Point being, buy a known entity. If I was importing a donor, I agree with front half of the truck, and new ancillaries, etc as at minimal is shipped free...

    Cost of a D1 TDI swap?

    I cannot stress enough to get a whole vehicle, preferably running so you know it at least is alive, and then you have all the little bits that will end up costing a good chunk of change. I have done it this way and have zero issues with surprises...

    Spotted: 1997 LR Discovery XD in NC!

    As Shayne said- good luck finding a low profile SD rack... might as well look for a genuine CT rack.

    Spotted: 1997 LR Discovery XD in NC!

    Joel's is the only clone I know of- the rack is the toughy to find, and of course a body with no s/r's or roofrail and associated holes for mounting...
