Now the doors I had on my armored solid axle 105 in Iraq....those were some heavy MF's and closed with a resounding thud. Didn't want to think about getting your fingers mashed in those doors. Easily 150 lbs each with 1.5 inch thick glass (that...

FWIW, After driving our 100 series for many years, I finally had the chance to ride in a Sequoia that was 10 years newer. The first thing I noticed were the light and tinny doors of the Sequoia when I closed them. After watching the reviews...

Lived in Belgium for 3.5 years and traveled extensively across Europe. I once got a rental car and the agent was very apologetic. "I'm sorry Sir, but all we is a car with an automatic transmission. Can you drive an automatic?" My response...

I like the idea of having a spare tire, but in all reality, I have not dropped a spare tire on a vehicle in the last 20 years. I have plugged a number of them in that timeframe. Short of a sidewall tear, I plug kit will get you back on the...

We did a recovery the other night on a brand new Tacoma with paper license plates and stock all season tires on it. Vehicle made it about 100 yards down a snow covered road and managed to shear off the left front stub axle, i.e the break was...

Honestly, I don't need a salesman or (99.9% of the time a service department). I know what I want, when I want it and I do all of my own service and repair. I could just as easily buy it off of Amazon and go pick it up wherever it gets dropped...

Bought my 2019 Ford at $14K under MSRP, of course in 2019. Sticker was a shade over $81K. No way I'm going play those reindeer games. I also got to order exactly what I wanted and it arrived within about 8 weeks. I wish Toyota/Lexus would do...

FWIW, my wife's 1999 100 series has 327,000 miles and we've owned it for over 20 years. All told, I have less than $1500 of out of mx cycle repairs to date. The only drive train component I've replaced is the lower ball joints. Big items I've...

When we took our North American 100 series to Belgium, we had to install a rear facing red light to indicate when the fog lights were on. Kinda silly, but it was a requirement to get the vehicle "legal" in that country. There was quite the...

I'm just not sure why you have such disdain for SFA rigs. Every semi-truck on the road (millions of them) have a 2WD version of a SFA. While our 100 is very nice, and I'll be replacing it with a LC/550 in the coming years for my wife, our go-to...

Last year our recovery group members put a collective 180,000 miles on their rigs responding to recoveries that commercial tow companies refused to service. We had a recovery the other night involving an modified FJ Cruiser, a basically stock...

O.K. What we've learned in the past few posts is that those who drive a SFA are posing and I'm supposing that M1911, actually has very little experience driving a SFA vehicle. He's, heard the term death wobble, so that make someone an expert on...

Oh, I don't know. Simpler, beefier, less moving parts, durability to name a few. Of course I own an '84 Hi-lux, a 2019 F-350, a 1993 80 series and owned a TJ for 15 years. No, they don't ride like as nice as my wife's 100 series, but after...

I'm running a 4BD1T that also ate a turbo before I rebuilt it. Doubtful those liners are salvageable, but fortunately, pressing new one's in is pretty easy. Not to deter you, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd opt for a 98-99 Mercedes 3.0...
