    If I ran the Land Cruiser Devlopment Division:

    I love the ideas in this thread! If I ran Toyota, I would do almost everything the same way they do now. However, I'd love to see the GX versions, the 70 series models, and the diesel options the rest of the world get... Unfortunately they way car manufactures are structured in this country...

    (100 series) Least expensive 200lb RTT capable roof rack solution?

    Cool thanks Chris. Just went through the Gamviti site... whew! As a web pro I had to hold back a few verps! But knowing they're local to me here in Colorado, and a well liked small biz... I think I'll go that route... Seems relatively inexpensive if you don't get the expo style rack with...

    (100 series) Least expensive 200lb RTT capable roof rack solution?

    Hey guys and gals, I am sure you are all familiar with the logistic juggle to get your rigs to where you'd like them to be... costs add up quickly and the balance between adventure and gearing up can get out of hand. I need to focus on getting a few more payment free adventure-worthy years out...

    Good stuff guys, this sent me on a great few hours of Nissan NV research... but saw some rumbling of them being discontinued die to poor sales... which then sent me on the Fuso FG/Canter search...hahaha

    Transmission tunnel/passenger foot space differences?

    Just saw my first image of the "dog house" in a 7.3... and was shocked. Looks like the front passenger can never stretch their legs out all the way? This van thing seems like a giant pile of compromises from ford-i-ness reliability piece of mind issues all the way to the engineering versus...

    Finding low miles vans for SMB style builds

    And what years should I be looking for? I want the longer body style, 7.3 diesel... but is there a difference besides windows in the passenger vs cargo specific vans that would impeded a nice build?

    Finding low miles vans for SMB style builds

    Whats the secret? There were millions of these produced, and very little changed over the years... should be a ton of them available... at better prices than I'm seeing on the regular vehicle search sites. Any luck haggling these down on lots? How did you guys find your base vehicle?

    Fall Colors in the Elk Mountains

    Cripes! Great job as usual! Any way to get desktop background sizes? I understand if thats a no...as this is your living we're talking about here. But these are inspirational to me...as I dream of getting up into the hills from behind this desk. Also, kudos on not ruining your JK with a...

    Might have to move...What'll happen to my expo dreams?

    I appreciate you guys Thanks everyone…all of you made great points. What really sticks with me though is the recurring theme of "Adventure is what you make it." With this in mind my family and I have decided that if the proper financial threshold is met by their offer for that job back...

    Might have to move...What'll happen to my expo dreams?

    Thanks guys. See that's why I love this forum. Insightful, elegantly written honesty from intelligent people. I agree that adventure is what you make it. Wholeheartedly. But the culture difference between the east and mountain west instills worry. Back east the first thing people ask you...

    Might have to move...What'll happen to my expo dreams?

    I may have a job opportunity that would mean moving from Colorado….to the Philly metro area. I grew up there, and would have a good network of old friends and family. And the job opportunity might be financially motivating…. BUT… Where would my 100 series be able to give...

    WTB M101A2 or A3 Trailer (Mountain West Region)

    I'm all over the GL auctions, but if any of you kind overlanding folks have one that you'd like to sell please let me know. Hoping for the deal of the century…(after all the auction route will get me a blank canvas for under $500) I'm ready with cash today. And would love to call in sick...

    Anyone ever bought a series 100 sight unseen?

    I like that idea! In fact, I've been searching like crazy to find a particular 100 here and on mud....but with no luck. But as this process continues I'll for sure be stalking like an ex-girlfirend on pcp. Thank you very much! Thats really cool to offer. I find out Wednesday if this...

    Anyone ever bought a series 100 sight unseen?

    Cool responses, thanks guys. :) That's why this is the best forum on the planet. When the JK sells the pressure will definitely be on to find solutions before the right 100 goes to someone else. I'll post up when it starts hitting the fan!

    Anyone ever bought a series 100 sight unseen?

    Hi everyone, I'm on the verge of selling my prized Jeep JK. After realizing that I'd rather have a vehicle that took us to new experiences and adventures, rather than the act of sitting in the jeep being the whole adventure, I focused on finding the perfect series 100. Its a big step up and a...
