    Tin Cup Pass - Colorado?

    Do you mean Cinnamon Pass? Another besides Boreas that would be further south/closer to Tincup would be Kebler Pass. Tons of aspen color in the fall. I think you would probably be fine going up to Tincup from St. Elmo. Once up there you can walk/check out the west side, where it gets rockier...

    Wanted Land Cruiser 80 Looking for Body replacement

    There are several places I would try here in the states to see if they have good bodies. Problem would be shipping to Sweden. I would think 91-92 would be all interchangeable Then 93-94 Then 95-97. 96-96 Lexus LX450 have additional holes in the body panels for cladding though And of course in...

    Tin Cup Pass - Colorado?

    It’s been a couple years since I was last up there, but my impression was that it has gotten a lot rougher than in the past. I think you would be risking hitting some of your undercarriage, running boards and possibly scratching wheels. In any event for a beginner it may be a stressful drive if...

    Warn 8274 on an ARB front bumper. Looking for pics where the grille was modified/trimmed.

    Isn’t the commercial bar designed for an 80 with no flares?

    Where Have you Driven Your 40-Series This Week?

    Red Cone has gotten harder in the last couple of years…from the pics you posted here I would probably caution against taking such a pretty rig on it. There are some whoops that will be darn near impossible without a rear locker, and at that same exact spot I almost lost a side window to a root...

    Waste not Want not

    A $1600 80 is pretty cheap - why not graft the camper onto the 80 front? You would have more cab room in the 80 vs the mini truck. Like this https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/lexus-lx450-chinook-expedition-vehicle.593286/

    Tundra "Chinook"

    Oleg from Irbis Off-road started a project like this years ago. I’ve always liked the idea. I think the original Chinooks were dually rear axles though. https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/tundra-expedition-camper.14089/

    I need help with a very concerning loud clanging/rattling noise coming from my 1997 FZJ80

    I would crawl under there and make sure the starter hasn’t loosened itself from the bell housing. And that your belts and tensioners are still snug. And look for anything else that might be loose in the engine bay or along the exhaust system. Catalytic converter heat shields can sometimes work...

    New-To-Me 1997 LX450

    Oh and I have 230,000 miles on original rear wheel bearings that have never been serviced. Should have long before now but it’s never made it to the top of the list.
