Yes, you are correct.

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain Tamer

Georg, There's a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the satisfaction of low price". I think that's every bit as true today. But if you substitute "customer service" for "quality", I think...

Georg is the best… 🥰

Stoked to see this old thread still gets people excited. Fantastic build Frank, I remember when you stopped by the shop 12 or so years ago amigo!

Blood sacrifice usually necessary at some point for a successful project!

There is a rattle in the passenger door I'm going to have to get yall to help me fix. You can hear it in the video. After I got back from the ride I put it up on the rack and tore into it. First job will be swapping the 4.11s fit 3.70s...

It’s been brought to my attention that there are folks that can’t attend the event for various reasons, but have an interest in donating to the charity. If that’s the case, please shoot me a P.M. and I’ll provide the necessary steps to do so. A...

It is pretty rare to see a TLCA sanctioned, club sponsored, non-profit benefit wheeling event going strong after a decade, but this event is an example. It takes a dedicated team (Peter, Sam and Charles) plus clubs, volunteers, sponsors and...

PS: FedEx picked up a number of boxes yesterday containing our raffle prizes, shwag bags and goodies for each vehicle in attendance!

Booked my plane tickets, so it’s official! We will be there representing Terrain Tamer and Valley Hybrids! Super excited to gibsllly make it out to TN for this event. And I’m very much looking forward to finally meeting some of my long-term...

Always great to see you Onur, even if it was a quick visit! Georg

Funny. Was just there today visiting Rourk and Georg. @orangefj45 top notch team! And great humans. 🤘🤘

Ok here it is I inadvertently said USA not North America as was pointed out to me. Glad to make that correction. But here it is this week's episode featuring @orangefj45 and Terrain Tamer North America.

This week on THE podcast I get the pure joy of talking to the founder of this mutual addiction forum none other then @woody himself. We talk about the synergy of the Land Cruiser community in making his little article sharing idea has blown up...

So the latest episode was out but I have been informed of some other edits that I need to do. I will share the link to the episode when the new edits are done. Needless to say talking with @orangefj45 about Terrain Tamer North America was a blast.

The design of them had way less friction. 2 leafs versus multiple leafs. The two leafs have large pads between them so there is no Metal on metal friction.

The cleanest LC100 that I have seen to date was in Little Rock on Kavanaugh Ave, parked in front of Cafe Bossa Nova. I believe the owners were sitting in the window watching me take this picture. @orangefj45

So there's two. That indicates something that "best internet price" shoppers would not be capable of comprehending.

Picked the troopy up from Terrain Tamer. @orangefj45 did the final check and wheel alignment. Replaced the H151 with a H152. I drove it home. First long (100 miles) trip. Love the way it handles. IP needs a bit more tuning. The turbo lags...

Yea….unfortunately I have this issue when building motors and trans/tcase items. Less so on chassis parts….but i don’t do customer vehicles.

@orangefj45 Valley Hybrids does as well. That’s 3! I put a blue marking for torque and a yellow for checking the torque again. But then again I’m not shop. 😀
