Well Lostzuk ... I have heard yours whine & thought it was an F1 ... those little engines can wail. However I cannot say that about the FJ ... tractor... & the 22Re in the 4Runner is good to about 6k.
I agree with you about that Sami ... they will go where nothing else goes ( usually 2wd or unlocked). I remember Al's from North Hastings ( f/r locked). Only problem was they tend to lay down. Toyota axles should help that.
Hey ... we need pics of hot Sami girls ... I think they were all busy doing the Sports Iluustarted Swim Suit Ed. shoot.
Chevy girls missed the shoot because they were in Wawa for at UAW meeting ... but it was in Oshawa. They only looked at the last few letters.

Honestly, anybody can say w/e they want about things but my mind aint changin' cuz it's been made up from experience in the Jeep I've owned for 8 years now and have over 400 k on. And to interest those talkin' about all the old rigs...My grandfather just rid of his original AMC Jeep Cherokee which had over 600 000 Miles on it, that's right, not Km's, Miles, so do that math. No work ever done to the drive train, had the shit beat out of it from day 1 by my dad and my 3 uncles who are really no different than me when it comes to that stuff...AND...up until he rid of it, it was still the machine of choice when broken down school buses needed to be hauled up Onderdonks hill out in the county (Rednersville Rd).....it would sit for who knows how long and then fire up after a couple of cranks to complete that job. 4.2 L I6, very similar to a 4.0, and factory Dana 44's.....the thing was so ugly it'd make you wanna puke but when it comes to havin' a rep, nothin' round here beats it.

Shaner, you are talking about real Jeeps though, not those sorry YJ's, hell I look at it like this, we had a run last year that 5 count them now 5 Jeeps started out on. Two did not even make it to the actual trail before they had broken and the others left the trail being towed behind either a Samurai or a Toyota, and the best part about that is the Toyota was actually towing two at a time as it was getting dark and we did not want to have to go back in for them. The other funny part was the one Jeep guy that broke before getting to the trail had gone home to get his other Jeep and started in through the exit to see if he could lend a hand getting the busted ones out only to break just inside the trail with that one, so in reality 6 in not one left under its own power that day!

Ok, i thought we were bashing Toyota,... it started out against toyota... Wtf happened <lmao>
And if you want the full pic, i told you before, you have to ask fierodude... its up to him whether you're allowed to stare and oggle at his girlfriend or not.
But i don't imagine he'd say yes.

I would officially like to say that Toyota's SUCK ASS!!!! Today I got the pleasure, or got stuck to be more honest, working on my first Toyota 4-runner at work. GARBAGE. I honestly couldn't find anything on this truck that I liked about it and I think it was only a '92 and the poor guy who bought it has already dropped like $2000 into just trying to get it through a safety and e-test and it STILL needs work.....I used to be somewhat curious about Toyota's, but i'm sorry boys, all you wheelers need to lose the 'toy' trucks and get Jeeps...seriously. Sorry, this piece of shit upset me so much i just needed to vent...lol. What? From what I have just read all I understand is this... If you are wining about working working on a Toyota at work you must be new to the trade. There are many other vehicles out there that are much more of a pain in the ass to work on and I won't even tell ya what they are. You will find out the hard way. QUIT YER WINING AND DO YER JOB. Oh and Ron... You REALLY suck at sarcasm  Kelly |

Your Jeep has 400 000k & you've had it 8 yrs. Unless you are doing 50 000k a year I guess you didn't put all the kms on it. Did a little old lady from Pasadina wheel it in the the Baja 1000 ? What has IT done ... crawled over a white line? I have seen it on the paved streets of Trenton. Plenty have seen what others have done around here whether it is Lostzuk crawling up a rockface, Iron Pig wallowing, Stinger crawling over rocks, CrazyFrenchman hill climbing at the speed of light, Lowrad doing his best impersonation of a hippo ( truck not him)& a goat, on & on ..... I have shown a few sample pics of my 4Runner, I put on ALL the Kms (500 000) & its still running so we'll chase that 600 000 MILES ( I'll help you with the math ... 600 000m x 1.6 = 960 000 km ... geez I even have to do that for him ). ( Shaner says "Ya ya ... I knew how to do that"). You say they beat the sh_t out of Gramps Cherokee & they are no different at it from you .... but what about you? ... "Where's the beef" ?( sorry you are too young to know the meaning of the phrase from an original Wendy's commercial). Show us the pics. Was it all in mud or ripping down Hwy 2 at Bayside in the snow? You base your experience having owned it for 8 years ...help you with the math again ... 25-8 = 17 .. so is this your 1st or 2nd vehicle?10th, 20th I have owned my 4Runner for 20 yrs ... & I was 38 when I got it. Having 5 vehicles now ( besides the 88 4Runner, 78FJ40- 4yrs, 97Escort- 3yrs, 98XJ - 2 mos., 65 Vette- 23yrs)... there were plenty before these too. We call this "experience". I think some of the other fellows like Stinger have a list longer than the black patches you leave with your open rear diff at the mall. Well Longzook ... I guess 25 yr olds are just older teenagers ...you know .... know everything ..... & haven't become drooling inept retards like he seems to consider I have become or anyone who tries to tell him differently. I guess we have to wait while more time passes. I guess for some experience counts for nothing ... just the current moment. Everyone else is wrong. "The world revolves around me" syndrome. I can remember when I was a kid thinking cars like the Truimph Spitfire were awesome... Lucas electrics. Their lack of reliablity would make a Jeep seem like a Toyota by comparison. Unless you can back some of this stuff up as we have ... topic seems closed ... since you so eloquently put it " my mind ain't changin' ". Topic is dead. Like trying to deal with a stubborn donkey. But it will be good to wheel with Shaner. Now to get Pickupgirl to pose .... Fierodude ... we need to talk. |

Oh yeah my XJ rubs at full flex. Mind you full flex is hub to flare length of about 4" Nah, it was a white one that a friend is working on out in K-town. As for FJ's being multi-use. Almost any toughass big Jeep Truck or Willys Pickup Thanks KenoshaWarrior ... I'll drive by & check it out ... auto eh? No rubbing on full lock or flexed out? I can run 33's on my 4Runner, did it for part of a year, (stock bagged out suspension) but the front scrubs turning. Flexed straight it was good, 31's are np. Ya the FJ45's ( similar in style to a CJ8 ) pretty unigue ... You can get an aluminum tub through Aqualu like mine but for the 45. Mechanically the same as the 40. They are VERY collectible. Was the one you were in blue?  Picture is for Shaner, Tyler and the makeup devoid Pickupgirl. 45's came with a crank & power takeoff ... used a lot in Africa as a multiuse vehicle ... truck, tractor. Another one of the legendary Toyotas used worldwide & not suited to the mall ( is that Trail Rated?) " A Toyota by another name is thankfully NOT a Jeep" (Ric 07) |

Isn't it sweet Lowrad watching others for a change ?
I am wondering if it ends at round 3 or if he will come back out.
Haven't worked up a sweat yet. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!.
Ringside judges says if he doesn't come out swinging hard its over. His corner"man", the one with no makeup, isn't working too much on her man. As a matter of fact .... she's POSING for some cameras. (Fierodude is seen smiling off to ringside). Cosmetic company Executives seem to be lined up to meet her & she seems to have lost interest in the "fight".
Do I see the towel .... "Manager" Tyler has it in his hand ........? Opps ... just blew his nose in it ... ..... .... wiping Shaner now!
( Brown Bros. need to read this thread )

i dont think THIS Chevy Girl would do a photo shoot, if you wanna get intimate about it, bushy <lmao> Besides.... SOME of us read. Intimating ... I only "look" .... ? Seems I write a lot ... usually more than a single thought. Might be a shocker to know that I read too. Guess you don't know what my past profession was. Sure wasn't working under Jeeps. But "if you wanna to get intimate about it" ... I have an opening next Monday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., however I respect Fierodude & decline the offer. Thanks, but I appreciate the gesture. |

The cosmetic people can take a long walk off a short cliff.... This isn't a loss of interest, it's a loss of understanding... i no longer know where this conversation is or where it's going, so i am smart enough to know when to back out of it. I'm not a complex person, nor will i make things more complicated for myself then necessary. I got lost. So i stopped talking long enough to see if i could figure it out.
On another note, bushy dear, i don't think i'd take you up on your offer whether you respected him or not <lol> My "offer" wasn't an offer, but more of a statement, and in that, it was rhetorical. Besides... I'm quite happy being with only one man, thank you.
And Let the record state, that the only camera i'll pose for is Feirodudes.
Bushy you remember that. <lol>
