Specter-Off-Road should have an aftermarket windshield weatherstrip... I don't believe the OEM version is available from Toyota any more. :(

Victor, my spanish is not good, but here I'll try:

Su cerdo parece maravilloso!

I think that says "your pig looks wonderful"!

But your paint guy did the same thing to your front valence as mine...it's suposed to be white on top along the lines of the fenders.

But it is supposed to look like this:

Your spanish is great, well i didnt see that until you pointed , I think on my case the guy at the paint shop was so hurry about finishing the pigggie up , that they just paint evering with out taking care about that detail, hehehe funny, at the end of the history you will not notice after the installation of the winch

Victor,
Me encanta el escema que elegiste- se ve bonito. Que pena que vayas con Tapage - lo vas a destruir pronto. Asi es la vida del chanchito.

Gracias por la info en cuanto a las llantas chinas. Estoy pensando poner los aros 15 de mi BJ60 al chancho entonces puede ser que compre las chinas, y los aros 16 con sobrearo y patacabras al '60 porque las piedras cortan las cuerdas de las radiales facilmente. Pero por ahora donde voy con my chancho, no hay mucha piedra que podría cortarlas.

i do ok with spanish, from construction i learned enough words to start filling in the blanks and now i can communicate pretty good. you can imagine the words i learned first.

so a locker in the front and open in the back? i'm sure you will do a locker in the back too eventually, if i lived around all the mud like you i would have locker front and back.

yeah ,when you start to learn a foreing lenguage, better start, from that bad words, always helpful, in a near future I whant to have lockers on the back but the thing is, I whant to have ARB on the back and that cost me like $2800 here in Costa Rica and on this moment thats a lot of money, but i always loking for another afforable options, the guys from the landcruiser club and Paul told me lockright on the back get broke easy, if you drive a lo on the road, i get my lock rights very cheap and thats why i decided to put the locker on the from and wait a little more to get a better option for the rear diff

I don't want to disagree with Paul 'cause he knows his stuff but I've had an Aussie locker in the rear of the BJ60 for probably 4 years and 4-5 round trips to Canada from Central America all without any problems.

I hope to be down visiting Paul in August. I'm not sure if it will be the '55 or the '60 that I drive down. The '60 has the Aussie locker in the rear and if you ride in it you can tell on tight corners.

Maybe we can get together when I'm down there.

PM me where you are in relation to Paul's mechanic shop.
