I installed mine under the bonnet and while we don't get as cold as Bozeman, we still get in the negative here frequently. It's such a clutch upgrade. Well done!
Correcto!
They're really awesome. The sidewalls aren't as stiff as the BFG MT but that seemed to help out on this trip. We didn't air down at all since it wasn't too sandy and they graded a lot of the roads so corrugation wasn't bad either. So far I've driven over passes in a blizzard and they...
I love that Ranger. Their 2.8L Turbo petrol engine gets 22mpg with their current build. The OZ spec TD engine gets about the same. Petrol is still cheaper than diesel in the US so I think they made the right choice. The biggest Achilles for the Ranger is the small ass gas tank and the lack of...
Oh damn! Yeah. We spent a majority of our time down off Barrier Canyon but wheeled around there. We saw ZERO people the whole trip. Only cars on the highway and even then, maybe only about 20... Happy New Year!
Just spent five days touring the Bears Ears, The Maze, Barrier Canyon, the San Rafael Desert, and the Swell. The HJ75 mowed through all the off-camber, ruts, rock ledges, and tech wheeling required to get out 60 miles into the backcountry. I'm still getting the hang of the extreme off-camber...
My door saga is concluded. I ordered two, "brand new" take-off doors from Cruiser Parts last year while the 75 was in Kelly Saad's shop getting some major body work done. They showed up, packed so the actual brand new door was on the outside of the pallette. It looked great so I left it for 6...
While I was in Sonoita, I had @OGBeno replace the front output seal on the transfer case. I highly recommend OLC 4x4 if you're in the Southwest! Worth the drive into the beautiful grassland steppe ecoregion of Southern Arizona. Now the rear of the 75 won't be sprayed with t-case fluid...
LOL at the title of that Revolver article. It has nothing to do with Biden and everything to do with Toyota. The same vehicles were available globally under Trump, too. Where was that article? I guess the world is full of people who believe everything they read. Not everything is a political...
Yeah! Super cool. That engine has been in the Hilux for a while so everyone thought the 2.8 wouldn't be enough but reports are showing people dig it. I don't tow so I don't need a V8
Your Toyota dealer will also install it. Mine did the install after I ordered a windshield and gasket from them. I think all in, windshield, gasket, and labor was $700 after tax.
Spent the week fishing, soaking in hot springs, and camping out of the HJ75. The temps fluctuated from 20º nights to 60º days. Glad we had the Webasto cabin heater! We didn't have the ol' Cruiser all summer as it was in the body shop getting new a-pillars, cowl, and inner/outer runners. Now...
Picked up the 75 from @kelly saad - it came out impeccable! Superbe quality. He and Spenser stayed late getting it road-worthy so I could drive back to Santa Fe. Once home, yesterday I finally got around to installing the new left hand (passenger) door I ordered back in May. I never liked the...
