Amazing What One Can Buy With a Case of Beer!

Cool winch line cover! Any details on that?

Now I can play ignorant ... It was on there when I bought it. Charles can answer that one ....

Well, the 11 year old BFG AT that was on the spare (that had never touched the ground) is under the truck in the garage.

The new 33x10.5R15 KM2 won't fit on the carrier, but that will be corrected by the end of the month.

I really upset somebody. The distributor that covers much of the SE had 4 of these tires left in their warehouse, when I got this one spare. BFG has discontinued the KM2 in that size but still makes the AT ... for now ....

Clearly....

If I had gotten the black seat covers no one would have been the wiser.

This may be tech, but it is weird tech...

I have been asked about the antenna mount on the bullbar on the thruck (paging @JohnVee ).

Please see the following links

ARB Store
Amazon
4Wheel Parts
4Wheel Parts 2
Amazon 2

Note that there are two differing part numbers 3500100 and 35000090. I do not know the difference between them, but I only found one on the ARB USA site ....

Imperial vs. metric radio waves.

Imperial vs. metric radio waves.

Yup ... or "light" vs. "antenna" mount. They also appear to have differing attachment mechanisms ...

One of these is not like the others

I cannot stop smiling driving this thing

It looks really fantastic!

Left Turn ..... Freakin Wipers
The first 20-30 times you do that, it's the vehicles fault. After that it's ..... Well just saying.

I'm obviously biased, but the Cruiser looks great in the photo especially after I got rid of the Heep and the Honda.

HAHA i did that 10 years ago in Grand Cayman renting a dihatsu rocky and did it again in first 50' last week driving onur's 7x series

The RHD 70 Series have some of the cleanest windshields in all of Cruiserdom and our turn signal bulbs last for decades.

 

[elkaholic]

The first two mods to this ultra clean truck have been made.

1). More appropriate badging for the bumper

2). The all important beverage opener

Both visible in this picture ...

Be careful ..... Attaching foreign objects to the front bumper can affect the airflow (aerodynamics) of the Cruiser. That is why you never see bottle openers on NASCAR vehicles.

No No No, NASCAR has strict rules and only allow mini kegs in the cars no bottles!!

A diesel powered 70 (short of the current twin-turbo V8s) and NASCAR do not compute ....

Geez...that really puts into perspective how bloated and overly complicated the current SUVs (and trucks) are in America. Got to fit 15 cup holders and fit 7 people in AC comfort and 3 point seat belts and 20 airbags.

The 70 just doesn't age at all, still looks awesome.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

While "new" is nice, in my humble opinion, the earlier BJ74's have a LOT MORE character than the new "softer" looking 70 Series.

 

[onemanarmy]

Agreed, and that hood ornament isn't helping the cause.
