i dont mean to toot my own horn, but i hope you are planning to fix some of the apperance. The twin tires look like rocket boosters, and the bumpers on those all ways seem to look a little snubbed and bare. it needs some lights on it. like 2 square under the bar infront of the grill and another 2 round on top of the bar.
O and the best part of any vehicle that makes it look important. STICKERS!!! i still have some expo stickers. not to many left!

No problems whatsoever on the trip home and I couldn't be happier with the 80 and the trailer. Nice of Dave to build it up for me and break it in. I just hope he and Yosh come to like their new Sportsmobile as nearly as well.

Looks like it's moved up in the world.... where's the circular drive way picture mr. hefner? (only kidding you). So glad you made it safe, knew the rig would get you there just fine. Glad we are all happy with our "new to us" rigs!

Congrats to all on the new toys.
My Jeep TJ got it's new 7" Warn flares today so I'm feeling pretty sharp too.
Dave, my cat and I could almost LIVE in a rig like that and the city campground on the river here is about 350 yards from my office.
Mike, the only stock Toyota of the day in that range is $71,000. new here, and as I say - factory stock. You are laughing. Looks like everything came up roses for all. Fantastic.

Yep new Rotors, Calipers, Pads and repack the bearings.
I went with the Super Spring coils (ala NRL from SMBforum). AWSOME by the way!!! And I also added their Super Spring to the rear to level out with the front (the new coils added an 1-1/4" to the front) and there work great. Much better than an add-a-leaf. I would recomend them to maybe help your sagging in the rear.
Im gonna check the articualtion with one of my contractors Fork Lifts this morning to see what I've lost. But I dont think much. Fingers are crossed.
So now I need a sweet bumper like yours!!!!!!

One of those divorced, no kids, single guy fantasies about living with a small footprint and being able to move around on command with a minimum amount of junk in tow.
There is more than one energy industry guy in the local campground living full time out of luxurious fifth wheel trailers or nice motorhomes.
