What happened to Rangebrover's LC200 build?

Eric keep building that 200, this is the internet who cares about some haters. The majority of the ************ bags who want to trash you are just bitter that they can't afford the entry cost of buying and building a 200. I haven't met one of these people in person but they seem to really enjoy playing armchair warrior.

ShiftChevrolet I do hope you come back to VOT and enjoy the event in your stock silverado, feel free to come join our party, but if it's too loud go camp on the other side of the field.

i think he may have done better, if the horse he rode into the discussion, wasnt a siverado... im not a badge loyal kinda guy, i just like what works. if youre going introduce class warfare into the discussion, you sorta ought to do it with a rig thats not marketed solely as a dirt road ranch station wagon. making a silverado do what a 200 can do reliably, would require redesigning the entire truck. its a good platform for moving fat people.

Ladies and gentlemen, 3 cheers for Zimm - he's on quite a roll today!!!

Although truth be told, I'm 99% certain that the above quote was plagiarized from the Consumer Reports review!

Do you really have a problem with my Silverado? It would run circles around the new Toyota, that truck is really just a minivan with four wheel drive. This guy probably has over six figures invested in his truck, and my stock rig could run circles around him.

You know, you're probably right. Please bring your truck to VOT next year so you can recover me the whole time.

Here you go joneseyyy. I'm a big fan of the 993 also, which was the last of the air cooled 911's.

Dang, I'm not sleeping enough these days (read 991, thought 993). Yes, I love 993s...I also love the new ones, esp. the updates to the interior. I'm not quite at your level...hoping to complement the 4runner with a Subaru BRZ or E36 M3 (are there any clean ones left?) at some point soon.

Eric, everyone knows that real men only drive RWD air cooled 911s with no power steering and tiny aftermarket steering wheels!

Seriously though, you've got a nice ride there!

Haters gonna hate.

Wow. I started coming here because people didn't behave like this.

I have to give kudos to the Porsche (more money than sense crowd) those are some nice rides there, I hope to join you one day. For now, I will just enjoy the great outdoors in my Toyota tundra (minivan). I really appreciate the spectrum of people this site invites from Subaru owners to six figure land cruisers because I learn something from all of them. But if the site continues to devolve like this I will be forced to become more and more of a spectator.

Don't worry too much about the forum bickering. It's mostly spillover from another thread. The long and short of it is some guy who may or may not (I'm personally not sure if they're for real) have attended events with Brover is talking **** to him on the forum. This person even went as far as accusing other people of drunkenly tipping over a trailer with children in it, which is a blatant lie. The trailer was unbalanced and it went over just from the kids moving around in a RTT, or so I've been told. They've since backpedaled on that saying "hurr durr that's what I heard other people say." Sure people make mistakes and spread false rumors, but this person seemed happy to spin this as a fact to support whatever agenda they're pushing.

A few of the rest of us who were for a fact at said events with Brover are understandably pissed that this person is talking **** about our friend from the perceived safety and anonymity of the internet instead of talking it out face to face. Dude's painting with a really broad brush, and that just rubs me the wrong way.

I drive a GMC 3500...granted, it's not silverado strong...but look...it got me out of a 18" snowstorm...my landcruiser had no chance...
My lady friend likes the bench seat too...so she can ride center like...

PS...I'm not fat...

Man I wish everybody hated 200 series Land Cruisers.. Then maybe I could pick one up before it's approaching 20 years of age and half a million miles :bike_rider:

Seriously, what's wrong with you?

ShiftChevrolet is banned, at least for the moment. His IP address is shared with another member and there are enough other indicators that this individual is not representing himself truthfully. . .

Mr. ShiftChevrolet (or Dan if you prefer), send me a PM is my assumptions are incorrect. Will be happy to reinstate your account.
