Everyone always discusses MILEAGE MILEAGE MILEAGE but i see very few discussing service history.
Pay closer attention to how it was maintained, and its service history.
I've seen sub 100k rigs with several lingering issues due to lack of proper...
Amazing that it's been more than 3 years since my last post in this thread! The Karaboudjan has about 150,000 miles on her these days. I have not done much wheeling or road tripping with her recently, but don't tell @UltraFJ40 about that because...
Yes sir. We have friends with property in Ocotillo and camp there somewhat often. The winds can be absolutely insane. Next time i see you ask me about my Tundra almost being a total loss from sand storm damage, 2 weeks after i bought it, true...
Oh, I’ve done the RTT things years back. We were one of the first Eezi-Awn dealers in the states.
Not my thing. For me, the negatives (saw -2mpg with RTT on both my 80 and 100, decreased stability with all that weight effecting COG, road...
Well, finally got the roof rack removed, and LOVE the cleaner, slick top look. I went the easy route and just bought the OEM kit.
I would rate this a 1 :banana: job
VERY simple and straight forward as long as you follow the many threads on...
Sooooo
Ive had them all (other than the 55)
After putting 1000 miles on my 200, here is my unsolicited opinion of it
LOVE IT, but...
Pros:
-Nicest ride of any vehicle ive ever owned, and it is tired, bone stock, with 212k miles so thats a...
After my favorite “Costco to school pick-up to beer run”-loop, 4835060390 appear up to the task of supporting a Slee rear, oversized spare, Budbuilt fuel tank skid, ARB drawer w/ tools and recovery gear.
For those of you not tracking the...
Not OEM but for future googler reference:
Aftermarket rear coil spring intel -
Dobinsons C59-545 coils. Rate not published but F'n stiff - Like up armor stiff or sprung for a ISIS VBIED payload headed to Syria. Had to use spring compressors to...
Can’t believe I’ve owned this for 10yrs, how time flys. Wife was complaining about not being able to see at night driving it, so it was time to address the badly faded and cloudy headlights. I had buffed these out with restoration kits a couple...
Nearly 2 years of no updates in this thread? Yikes.
Wish I had some crazy mods to share, but no. LX is still doing all of its duties like a champ with zero issues, and all the comforts that go along with it.
The bumper-mounted trailer...
Sweet the LC200 with KDSS gets to 661, with a system which is no more than some stabilizer bars, two hydraulic actuators and clever plumbing between the same.
Also love the way KDSS keeps the body straight in corners, certainly for a 5800 lbs...
My random thoughts on the 250..
Pricing.. competitive to a JL rubicon/Bronco badlands price (I configured "Mine" at 67k..)
So no issues there.. It has a rear locker and CDL.. I'm good with that.
Hybrid... Wish there was a "Non-hybrid"...
Updated to 23 mpg (22/25/23) (22 city for dirt roads is not too shabby) for the 250 turbo hybrid with (disappointing) 17.9 gallon fuel tank. Payload is 1687 for 1958.

Had LTX ms2 on my old 200 and loved them and couldn’t wait to dump the stock 22” set up on the 300 for 17”s with the new Defender LTX ms2’s. Saved a bit of weight per corner.
