OMG What the heck is that parked on my drive??????

Well just for you matey, I shall make the very first modification. And I shall name it in you honour.
Well it matches the interior so I might just .... I do like the GS flat centre tray though. It fits my binoculars perfectly.
Scott, Big Nick and Linda say Hi. I was with them this week end up in Bonnie Scoortland. Atrocious weather. But still bagged a bambi. Yay!
Super pleased with the truck. OK there are some bits to get straight but hey it's 17 years old. My son is 18 and he's not perfect either. Still just cannot believe the engine. I was on the A75 coming home today and there was the usual road train of bimbling fogies who wouldn't overtake a lorry. There must have been a dozen cars and vans at least. Now normally I wouldn't stand a chance. It would be a forlorn home. But as I reached a section near Dumbfrys where it's wide enough to be dual carriageway, I dropped a cog and floored it. Jeez, it just took off with a roar and I passed the lot in a heartbeat. There were grey haired crinklies looking aghast as this 3 tonne behemoth roared past. I love it I love it I love it. I have driven 24v's before but never anything like this. It's a freakin monster

Sure of course Andy, if you can just dig out the invoice and bill of sale, I'll get right on it. Oh, servicing came to £1000 by the way, quite happy with cash.
In your dreams
Quick edit here - why the hell did Toyota stop making these. it's a crime.

Some seem better than others as far as performance goes. My low mileage GS (89K) in standard form didn't go anywhere as well as that one and I bet with the fuel mods would struggle to keep up. One thing to bear in mind Chris is that that particular Cruiser is the lightest variant, even lighter with the alloys with everything that it doesn't have that a VX does.

You can't get away that easily CJ... you're going to do Botswana with me... get you swinging that 375HH
Well gosh darn it. The 35's won't go on without lift. I wanted to give them a roll with the truck pretty much standard to see how the diffs were wrt the manual ratios. S'pose I shall have to do the lift first then. And probably the bumper too by the look of it.
I shall save up all this stuff and start a 'transmogrification' thread. I shoved the drawers in today just to shift them out of the workshop before I ruin them. They're only plonked in. Not secured. Might stick extra battery up front as there is room with there being no ABS rather than try to squeeze it in down the side of the drawers. I might go with another underfloor compartment though. The AO drawers come out nice and easy so I can get to the battery if I need to. The others in my off roader are a bit of a pain to unbolt.
Tried the 35" spare underneath today. It will go, with a mod or two. I would have to slide the tow bar out a bit and raise the cross member a little so that the tyre goes right up to the floor. I can lengthen the chain and hopefully store it away nice and neat. Means I don't need a rear carrier then. Or I can carry two spares if I really feel the need. Only issue s being able to get to the windy mechanism if I raise it too far. An electric motor driven one would be so cool.
