Sweet rigs man. I'll watch for your LC thread. Cheers.

Considering your plans for the front suspension, have you considered Chevy 63" springs for the rear?

The Diahatsu Scat! ;-) Very cool, I've wanted one of those mini LCs for a long time. Wow, that's a pretty high price... easily double what a similar J40 would go for.

Great design evldave, thanks a lot for sharing it and the links to the pieces to build it :D Easier/cheaper than getting a "smarter solenoid" might be simply having an "on delay" relay controlling the solenoid's switched power supply. If it were set to switch on power to the solenoid 5...

Very cool man, Atitlan is one of the most beautiful areas of C.A. What a great place to spend a month :-D BTW, hybiscus tea in Spanish is Agua de Jamaica (Jamaican water - pronounced "huh-my-kuh") made from 'flor de Jamaica". Jicama is a root/tuber, aka the Mexican Turnip. :-)

FJ40 = F series engine = gasoline BJ40 = B series engine = diesel (very rare in the US, they were not sold here.) Unless something else was swapped in, of coure :-D --------------- Great looking LC. Best of luck with the sale!

It sounds like you've decided what what want and done your homework on how to get it. OME has gotten great reviews for all their products and their US distribution network for their service. One thing to watch when evening up the front and rear is that the fender openings are different...

I've been planning to install a simple alarm in my 4Runner. I'll be looking for an alarm with a shock sensor and an electrical sensor to wire to the dome light to trigger it when a door is opened. BTW, in my previous 4R, I had problems with the alarm starter cut-out circuit failing to enable...

While doing my weekly check of Toyota diesels on ebay today, I encountered this familiar looking rig: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-/260994971892?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3cc48338f4#ht_1746wt_1076 Which is this person's vehicle...

This isn't my ad, I just happened to see it on CL today. http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/2933404176.html

I'm signed up... It's probably better odds than the Mega Millions :-D

I saw an ad for Solid Works in a recent issue of Machine Design.com's magazine, referencing their series www.letsgodesign.tv in which they design a vehicle similar to yours. :-P The vehicle is coming along nicely.... I noticed the 'joy stick' in your hand; I'm eager to see the control system...

Yes! ...but unfortunately there is no chance of that here :rolleyes:

A locker would probably get you the most bang for your buck... but once you get stuck with it, you'll really be stuck if you don't have recovery equip.

Is 1/2 litre how much it is below the full mark by the time of the scheduled change? Being down 1/2 liter every change doesn't sound bad... http://www.performanceoiltechnology.com/motor_oil_consumption.htm That Taco is a great rig btw. I followed your build thread as you built it. It's a...

That looks awesome man... great work!

That sounds like the LeMons race here in the states. http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/ Best of luck.

Cool photos, thanks for sharing!

I've had hot sauces go "bad"... most recently last fall. I had them sitting on a window sill in the kitchen. It was a particularly hot summer in a rental house with a bad AC system, so they probably got to 100*F during the day (over 100F outside) or higher due to sun exposure. Most of the...

That's looking good man!
