In my best Jedi voice, "revive old thread, REVIVE!"
Can't one build this FrankenCruiser with the Aqualu guys? They're already making these modified boxes, stretched and shortened frames/bodies.
I'd imagine you'd buy a frame+body+box and then start swapping parts from the FJ80 or FJ Cruiser...
Thought my sig might give away the fact that i'm not a total newb. I appreciate the feedback nonetheless as it vets this decision out further. An ounce of planning for a pound of wrenching ...
No homework needed on the type of expedition rig. I'm in Cali so most of our 4x4 runs are towards...
ToomanyToys,
Thanks. In many ways I've been looking at getting one already started by someone else. Also I have looked at the import market. I'm not familiar with JDM, but the import market is exploding with new companies bringing over great trucks. I've seen left hand drives too from Costa...
Hey guys - I'm in the early stages of planning another Land Cruiser purchase (will be my 4th). I can't decide towards a couple different options but I'm leaning towards a Frankenstein 40. I'll use it as a daily driver and an expedition rig. Rock crawling will be a part of the equation but not...
SoCal-
1) can you ball park $ the arctic truck conversion?
2) how much higher is the seat bottom after conversion? Would you be worried about clients climbing in and out of the truck? Men, women, sometimes older people in their 50's and 60's.
Thanks,
dp
Would love to see some pics of your console w/o fridge. I'm considering hunting a 200 down w/o fridge because the ARB equivalent is far better and certainly cheaper. It's convenient to have front access but I would think the OEM cool box is meh in performance anyway. Anyone using there's and...
Rear comes down to is the 5spd worth the nav interface hassle it comes with. The DD'ing Mudders will tell ya 5spd and the hard core guys go pre-'03.
Just depends on your cup of tea.
True but I just bought the truck a few years ago and so I had a few more payments left. About 5 or 6. Haven't a 100 paid off and in great shape is worth more than $15k in term of usability. Also getting the $15.3k check is nice but by the time we pay off the lien holder ... $12-13k is...
Total'd - $15.8 (of course, I only receive $15.3 as they minus the deductible; my insurance will go after the responsible party's insurance to recover deductible)
Something around $15-17k is the number I'm hearing for a total'd car from my ins. That's plenty to get a nicer less miles truck. Of course, I'll have to redo plenty of maintenance items that are already done on my current wrecked 100 but hey, I guess that's the price you pay.
Does anyone...
Prestige in Campbell, off of Winchester area (by the RR tracks). Going through my company now; they'll subjugate w/ responsible party later. <--- do I have the right term?
I have a 2000 LX, in pretty decent shape, ~180k, er, "was" in decent shape. Got t-boned by some idiot a few days ago. Lady does her best to floor it between two +5,000# vehicles moving at 40mph while she is in compact SUV with toddler in backseat. She got the fender, fr door, rr door, and did a...
Directions, instructions, guides, or write-ups on the TB replacement? Anyone able to provide a source other than FSM?
I've got 180k so i want to replace TB, w pump, serp belt, idle tensioner pulley (thingy that makes a racket on cold morning starts, clack-clack-clack?? God I hope it's just...
Pretty sure green doesn't come in sandstone, only black.
At this time the color choices & their associated combos are rather disappointing for my preference. I'd like a offering of plain white and some other colors with sandstone interior. The amamzon green was meant for sandstone and would...
