    I'd put a LR hi-cap in the driveway if I found a cheap one. At least I know people that can help work on it and get parts. Plus, cmon:

    I'd echo that and add, "my present and very likely future budget."
    Which is too bad because that's a great combo.

    The recent wave of LDH LR imports has really upset the local ecosystem. There is a fairly large LR repair shop that started out working on local vehicles. They have a supply coming in from southern Europe and stopped taking in any other customer service work to focus on restoration work. That would suck if you have been a customer for years and need work and can't get it without changing shops and having a long wait.

    That would be a bummer. There’s quite a few around here, not sure about imports though there is a specialty LR importer in the northern part of the state here. I see old Defenders at the local LR dealer often as well, which is interesting, they still work on the oldies.

    Weird to see it on what’s basically a go-anywhere commercial truck

    Needs ball chillers for driver and passenger and one of those hot/cold armrests from the old Toyota vans.

    Why did you edit out "Tractor"?
    Because they have cup holders?

    I know a local guy that started out as a mechanic at the Infiniti dealer when they first came out. He later switched to BMW and then the LR Jag dealer.

    Then he went inde and opened a shop. He now only works on Audi, BMW, Merc, Jag, and Land Rover. He charges $250 an hour and has a waiting list to get in. I'm glad to see him doing well. This is one of the reasons I do most all of my own work. The people I trust are not low-cost.

    If it's the same kind of plastic wood that's on an LX, it will last for 25 years. The stick-on wood trim doesn't seem to last.

    Oh I don't doubt the quality its just funny to me that it's in a decidedly non-luxury vehicle. It's a higher trim level though. I don't think miners need/want that in the cab.

    Good on him, that's great. You're right though, indie specialists aren't cheap, but in my experience are more trustworthy, usually because they're enthusiasts.

    The reason that I'm driving 3.5 hours up into Missouri to leave the 100 with this guy to get the TC 4L regeared. I don't trust myself as I do him for something like that.

    There's a Cummins-swapped 80 in my neighborhood. Seems like a good match. They've got it overlanded out and I think take it into the mountains every weekend.

    I also saw diesel 80 in Denver. It was a trip... I'm walking around, hear it spooling up off a red light, turn around expecting to see a coal-rolling Ram 2500... instead I see a Toyota with the driver on the wrong side. Given that it was RHD it might have been a diesel import rather than a Cummins swap, but it sounded angry like a Cummins.

    This one has been 1hdt swapped. There is another 1hdt 80 in the area that really sounds cool.
