I wish I could. I have a scout troop commitment this weekend. Soon enough though. I haven't wheeled in too long.

I put the toytec 2.5" coilover kit on bilstein 5100's and it came with a diff drop. Installed it and then took it off because I couldn't get the skid plate back on. The shaft angles aren't extreme enough to bother with it.

Hello folks. My name is Josh. My wife wanted to trade her minivan for a FJ Cruiser a few years ago, so we ended up with a 2010 6MT. After 12 months of "don't touch my truck with your tools", we decided that I should trade my tow rig in on a nice family car and build her FJ into a...

Do you have recent pictures and a recent price? Your OP was a year ago.

Thanks to everyone that replied and tried to help. I went and looked at the 2003 today. It's a DC car, so there was undercarriage rust. It wasn't horrible, but it would have made maintenance interesting. The car had a front accident on its record and I could tell the front bumper and bumper...

I'm not sure why at 65k, that's just what the service history says. It could have been a pushy service writer on an unsuspecting owner.

That's what I was thinking. I'm willing to spend a little extra to get the '03. It shows a timing belt at 65k, so it probably needs done soon enough. I've read some not so great reviews about the dealer, so we'll see. I think the cars are solid, but they have a reputation for being difficult to...

Gents, I've been searching for a couple months now, but haven't had the chance to travel and look at anything because of a couple work trips to Tokyo. I found 2 LX470s about an hour from my house, so I did the carfax and looked up the service history on lexus.com. I was hoping some of you...

We went and saw it today. I was less than impressed as well. The dealership offered it to me for $10k. I wouldn't have given them 7. The interior is a mess. Everything that's carpet is 40 different colors. The leather needs to be replaced and the door panels are probably beyond cleaning...

I appreciate the advice. As someone who's been spoiled by ARB lockers for the past 7 years, this one will get the same treatment if I buy it. I've been to a lot of places with the diffs open, but they're always there on the switches when I need them.

Just a quick post to say hello. I'm a current Jeep guy that is looking for a vehicle that has some essential things that my XJ doesn't, like a frame. As my boys get older, we find ourselves wanting to do more exploring and camping and less big tire obstacle trail riding. I've been reading a lot...
