After that..Mall cruiser for the most part. I actually had a guy in a FJZ100 ask me what year my Jeep was :mad3: When I told him it's a Land Cruiser, he said "THAT'S a Land Cruiser?" looking over his leather seats.. I said "Yeah, they were real 4x4's back then" billj 06-21-2002, 05:29 AM Originally posted by 9-Volt snippage......... also, he is running an open front with an ARB rear, 4.09 gears, and a custom traction control system that he put together that works like the shiznit :smokin: more snippage......... :D Tell us more about this "custom traction control system :smokin: "............ :beer: :beer: wngrog 06-21-2002, 05:57 AM On the subject of 42's, I bought a 42" spare, but I have not bought another beadlock, so it sits on my trailer unmounted just in case I slice a tire so bad I need it. Not a big deal on weekend runs, but if I am in Moab, 20 hours from home, I don't want $300 keeping me from enjoying my trip.
