    Drove it yesterday and checked the mileage, still a couple hundred or so shy of 109k!

    I took advantage of the sun and warmer temps here in KY to get the new Supertop on. When all is said and done its a great top but man did it reinforce my view that all the designers at Bestop are masochists.

    I think $8-10k is super high for a swap, but I’d have to sit down and do some figuring. The 2.7 is surprisingly spunky and a bulletproof motor. Lots of guys turbo them as the bottom end is forged and holds up just fine. Currently I’m geared at 4.88 (that’s the deepest matching gears for the...

    I actually purchased this Tacoma from a Hot Rod Builder up in Cincinnati towards the end of last year (it was his daily driver around the shop until he got a 1st gen double cab). It does have leafs up front (Sky Designs SAS Kit) with a Dana 44 from a Wagoneer, dual t-cases, bobbed bed etc. He drove...

    Yep, Callies is our home away from home. We stage all of our rides from there and have a great relationship with the Bowens. I'm currently working with Roddy on the Fall Meet & Greet Ride as well as DBBB improvement projects.

    That it is. I'm down there quite a bit as we have a lot of organized rides throughout the year (with the KYTLCA) as well camping and riding with the family.

    Sorry guys, as you can tell I'm not on the forums much these days as I got the LJ to a point that I was happy with and went on to other projects (I've still got a few uninstalled LJ parts in the garage that may happen one of these days). Along with the LJR and JLUR, I've currently got three Land...

    Brother, like you wouldn't believe. I've got a triple locked 1997 FZJ80 in the garage that I need to get put back together before a TLCA ride in less than a month, and then a full engine rebuild and frame on restoration on one of the 1985 FJ60s. Then last week I picked up an M416 trailer to...

    Man, I'd LOVE one, but if I came across one not sure I could justify it with what they are costing these days. I'd have to sell a Land Cruiser and I'm not ready for that!

    Thanks, I figured you would. I've got a windshield one to mount if it ever stops raining in Lexington........

    The old girl's doing well and enjoying being out of hibernation. I still have some odds and ends to do (engine and steering skid, rock lights) but we did a trail ride this weekend and have one next weekend here in KY. Here's a couple of pictures from us camping this weekend in the Red River...

    I realized I never posted pictures or video from the Jeep Jamboree the wife and I did back in October of last year. We had a blast and I was really proud of the wife driving solo in her JLUR the entire weekend. She went everywhere the LJ went and it was amazing to see her confidence soar the two...

    Thank you sir! She's been in hibernation for the winter as she's not seen salt and I didn't want to introduce her to it here in KY. I've got a few projects to finish on it this spring, one of which is finally painting and installing the half doors I bought for it last year. I also still have a...
