    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    If I could have only one vehicle, I would build out the most badass ultra4 buggy and rip the asphalt from streets and blast the knarliest of ledges!

    My buddy sas’d his taco. It’s nice, but man it feels like a marshmallow on the hwy, definitely requires pre-steering to go where you wanna go :)
    But then again you can jump off a 7-10’ drop and not feel shit.

    I was actually debating on going out to get this:

    https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/moreno-valley-sold-king-of-the-hammers/7287990291.html

    it sold quickly, but this what I want
    Just got to be ready to pull that trigger when they go up. I have had several crawlers, but after all the wheelin, I would like to have a dedicated buggy that is street legal on 1tons, preferably on 42s

    Maybe i will get this going... it’s a tube buggy with a yota cab and vin.
    Kicking myself for not scooping up that KOH rig now, thinking about the amount of money and time to get this rolling.

    I'm preparing to add the D29XL leaf to my Dakar leaf pack. The driver's side has the taco lean. I'm also going to add a 3* axle shim to see if I can get rid of some driveline vibe that has been annoying for the last 100k miles.

    I figure while I have it apart, I'll paint the leafs with some EZ Slide graphite paint after sanding off the surface rust. I'm not planning on replacing the bushings unless I get them off and decide they look like they need replacing. I think they are ~$20 at the dealership and I'm pretty sure they keep them in stock.

    I'm contemplating changing the sides that the leaf packs are installed on. Since the driver's side has been worn down more due to gas tank, battery, and driver all on the same side. IIRC, Driver side shows "+" and Passenger side shows "-", but I'm not sure that matters anymore.

    Does anyone see any reason why I shouldn't swap sides?

    I’ll never forget seeing an old Cherokee take a left at a stop light, gas it and get the inside front tire about 3ft off the ground...meanwhile the cab was at a ridiculous angle. Without its full-widths it would have tumbled. So awesome but that thing had to be a joke on the freeway.

    A linked toy would be amazing. I’m currently battling the urge to boost my Tacoma or get a Land Cruiser with a 5.7. The new (to me) SxS is quenching my wheeling bug... for the moment.

    I would most certainly go with the LC bro!!! I do love my taco, but it ain’t no cruiser. Besides you owe it to yourself and the family ;)

    Yes, it's the stance and height I want in the front. It's a little stiffer even with the bumper and winch but not too stiff. and I don't nose dive when braking. I'm satisfied with it.....for right now haha.

    Anybody know how accurate the seasonal FSR dates are? Looks like a lot of them are supposed to open up today/this week. In my limited experience I've seen several open roads that were closed and closed roads that were open, but I don't know if that's common and the status shown online is worthless or I just got lucky.

    Anyone know of an old skool mechanic/shop prefer near Cobb area that has experience with old big American gas trucks. Got my, worth more than its weight in gold to me, 87 f250 from my grandfather I need to get fixed. Some shade tree guy did something dumb I'm sure with wiring and put new carb on it. Never worked right and then sat for few years. Thanks

    Would powder springs work for you? My buddy has a shop there and works on old schools. He works on my rides when I need some help.

    Give him a call and tell him you know Josh with all the yotas.
