That's going to go waaaaay your of my price range. At the current bid I'd maybe risk the divorce and a pouty FJ40…. But it's not even warmed up yet.

At my core - I'm a pickup guy - and that's a super sexy pickup.
Sold for $32k to...

"Osama_Toyota".
Yeah I wonder who that is. Account was made this month and had no previous activity before the listing. Listing comments and mud thread are silent. I thought Kurt was going to take it.
From mud it looks like it was real buyer and he drove it home to Chicago.
Damn, that's a long drive at 55mph.

21 hours of straight driving assuming it's all at max speed.

I really liked my 255/80/17 ST MAXX's. Thought I'd run them forever until I caught a bug for 35's and went to 255/85/17.

Great tire, good life, good traction, and quiet.

Thx!

Do you have a body or suspension lift for the 34's, or did you "trim" the body seam in the wheel well?

I like KO's especially for an AT that gets a lot of road miles.

I know a guy with some Mickey T Baja ATs I'm going to look at, and probably Falken Wildpeak. Have a buddy with Toyo's but they seem similar to the KO when it comes to shredding mud (we got stuck recently)

I'm leaning towards a minimal (1") body lift to get clearance for 34's (?) without doing a new suspension if possible / keeping AHC

Yes I have a 2" Ironman FCP lift on my 200. I removed the front mud flaps and there was some very slight trimming needed on the fender liner. The spacers were necessary to clear the KDSS system. Even on the same year 200s, everyone seems to have slightly different fitment experience. I think LX guys like AHC sensor lifts for a modest lift and keeping AHC.

I keep telling CP he should build or buy a 70 series fire truck conversion.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bend-oregon-1995-hzj75-dual-cab-ute.1288535/#post-14727869

He wants another project. Maybe by the time we can import 79s he will be ready.

I don't know why you would think I am wanting another project; is it because I text you listings for about three sh*tboxes a day and say "wouldn't this be cool..."?

I do think those firetrucks are sexy, but I just can't get over that roof. They are the Miranda Lambert 'fivehead' of land cruisers. Hopefully someday there will be a rooftop conversion kit to make them proportional.

Yes supposedly they were required because the PTO pump raised the floor and rear bench too high for a normal roof line. OEM roof panel is still available from Toyota. Pull the pump, find a great body guy.

RHD takes about 5 minutes to get used to. Honestly, it seems like RHD vehicles price at a nice discount compared to LHD, and I think it's because so many people rule it out as an option.

Every person I have ever asked (except 1) that actually owns a RHD vehicle says the same thing. I would not at all be opposed to a RHD truck next. But that's also because it wouldn't be my DD. The resale audience definitely gets slimmer whether it's rational or not.

As 1 vehicle in a collection of several, and not a daily driver, RHD is no big deal. Passing on 2 lane roads and using drive-thrus every day would get old very quick with RHD.

Definitely. Fast food is bad for you and old land cruisers are usually too slow to pass though.

I will freely admit, I am one of the first ones to say I don't think I could ever grow accustomed to right hand drive. I guess

I don't really mean that-you can get used to anything. Hell, my rural male carrier weighs 300 pounds. He sits in the middle of an S 10 pick up, steers with his left hand, uses the brake accelerator with his left foot, and delivers mail with his right hand. If he can do that, I think I could learn to drive a badass Land Cruiser and shift with my left hand.

What kind of mail do you get at the house then?

I am going to wade in and say that for me to make it - March and early April is nearly impossible because of work. We are still planting in March and cultivating in early April. I was going to float the Florida (May 5-7) or Alabama (May 12-14) series as suggestions. Even then, something could come up - but it is much likelier 'get away' for the weekend time of year than Mar-Apr.

Looking at big conflicts: Ring day is April 13-14, Parent's weekend is Apr 14-16, Spring commissioning and graduations start May 12-13 so Alabama series competes with a super busy time in town. The Florida series is dead weekend during finals.

Any chance the group would be interested in a meet up for the Saturday game of the Florida series?

Nice buy! I considered throwing in a bid, but my wife might kill me if I buy another vehicle.
