Am interested in your truck and would like to see it, I live in Loveland and usually have an open schedule. let me know… thanks, Dave

With my LC and 40 gal tank, I would expect about an 800 mile range. I remember the 1974 gasoline shortage… quite a bother where I lived in Arizona. Went with bigger tank so as …. if the need arose…to take the LC and fetch invalided/stranded relatives.

Ranch hand in Wyoming would pick ARB…. Says that if you hit a big deer or elk going ”pretty fast” there will be significant damage….no matter what kind of front bumper you have….says you have a “better chance of driving home” the ARB. Says he likes to drive home and it’s a pita to be waiting for...

Yeah, why not? good suggestion….thanks, Tanglefoot

Further…. Had a very helpful discussion this morning with Slee. Good outfit. Anyway, the most helpful discussion ….perhaps…“new information” was related to the trailer itself and what my current experience is when pulling the trailer with my pickup. (One poster’s comment was that double axle...

thanks…. I will get something like this to get me by until I figure out what to do.

Oh boy, you are so right! But then, often it is not a matter of need……(enthusiastic hobbyist?)

Thanks for all the replies. This is not as simple as I thought it might be. Also, I neglected to mention that I have an extra tank in back. 35 gallons or so. I will call Slee and see if they have comment. I also visit with Maxey….. might be be better to extend/reinforce the trailer...

2017 LC… bp51…..Slee rear bumper….Slee swing out spare tire carrier… So, I am about ready to hook up Double axle 7x12 cargo trailer…. Overall trailer weight estimated at 3000 lbs … and sure enough, the spare tire interferes with the trailer jack and it looks like I would have to be very...

My intended use was for a “jack of all trades” Off road capable.... but good for going on long trips.... Alaska for example. Rig is never gonna go to Moab. More worried about snow and mud. 1. Remove rear seats and install arb drawers..... wanted to lock up valuables. 2. Redarc brake...

Update: Got the bp-51 and rear bumper installed. Aux tank not delivered yet. Am pretty well pleased with everything so far. Bumper solid, no rattle. bp-51 really makes a difference. Corners better, soaks up potholes and bumps with no drama. All in all, the truck is more fun to...

As I have this notion of pulling a small trailer to Alaskamthis summer, I too,am interested in the replies. Have a 2017 LC and having a forty gallon tank and bp-51 installed before the proposed trip. Perhaps someone could comment on availability of LC repair/mtce resources in BC, Alberta and...

Well, I guess everyone does their own calculus....trip characteristics, cost, convenience, schedule flexibility, wallet... then how long one would expect to own the vehicle....so on and so forth. I drove this land cruiser for a year before I decided I liked it well enough to keep it and put mod...

My slim wallet has been kicking my ass but my brain has kicked in and reasserted some control. Gonna get the suspension upgrade and tank/bumper at the same time. Thanks for the advice.
