Hello Andrew, I am a new(ish) member of 'Mud. No one is out to maliciously "bash" anyone on ih8mud. There is a strong community. It is such a tremendous resource for Landcruiser owners, and so cherished (by them, probably less by their significant others), that people have and show a lot of respect for one another. I don't spend much time on other forums but I doubt there is as much love and respect going around on them. If you're coming here fresh from other types of forums, just consider that this one might be a bit different - perhaps a bit slower, but it's probably the best out there. Much like an 80. Take care of it, show it some love and respect, and it will pay big dividends.
my $0.02 and good luck with your build
