    I think that was Kurt Williams personal Cruiser so you know it's dialed in perfectly.

    My opinion is that if you want a 70 series get a HZ variant with the better engines.

    I almost bought a HZJ73 from him but knew that it would just be too damn small for our family hence the decision to go with the 77 wagon.

    OK so I had to convince myself that the 2 doors were just fancy Bronco II so I could look away and can get back to work.

    Mine came with the 4.2L inline six cylinder 1HZ Diesel engine. That engine was first introduced in 1990 and Toyota is still making them and putting them in cars. An absolute beast that just vomits torque every time you touch the throttle.

    Only other engine manufacturer with an engine that long running is Briggs and Stratton.

    so the 1hz is better than the diesel that comes in the bj71?

    You can compare the specs to see the numbers but it's a personal preference thing for me.

    Japanese people don't eat or drink in their cars. If you break down on the side of the road in some places you can be issued a citation which leads to meticulously well maintained cars. The ones that Steve sells are the best examples and he uploads heaps of detailed pictures so there aren't any secrets.

    Same with EAG in the BMW world. Prime examples on what is possible, but also a hefty price tag!

    I didn't realize you only payed 24k for that sweet sweet machine of yours. Thats what I payed on my 2wd 2nd gen with 40k miles on it a few years ago.

    Just saw on their facebook Decked is supposed to release their drawer system for the Tacoma in July-ish. Been wanting some bed drawers badly but I don't want to pay the insane price of the custom ones. I'll probably be their first customer when they release.

    A guy named "Javier" from craigslist is buying it from me on Monday. Will probably be doing half cash/half milwuakee tools for it. UNLESS THE ONE TRUE CHAD HAS A SPOT ON HIS TRUCK FOR IT.
