And I bin looking at all the third gen Who are lavish today online people are really building them up really nice are you still have one back in 1998 I wish I still had it now I have a John Deer gator 825i that thing is no Polaris or Can-Am but its def fun I can ride that that right Across the street from where I live that there’s a big old Valley over there the door County owns I just have to keep my head on a swivel of the local kids riders Dirtbike for wheelers from the neighborhood
I see you are from Washington DC I live inBaltimore county my wife works in Macgomery county I just bought a 2017 TRD PRO I don’t know what places to go get this thing in the dirt I just got my truck not even two months ago
I bought my 2000 Ex in 2001. I still have it. It becomes a lawn ornament when fuel prices spike but goes on the road as needed. At least 50% of it's 215,000 kms has been on British Columbia forestry roads. It eats ball joints and shocks and shreds sidewalls for fun. Compared to my Suzuki XL7 daily driver, it's 3 times the truck at twice the fuel consumption. But it still hurts to fuel it up...gas or diesel.
Amen brother, mine runs strong and lift and bumper is all she needs good to go. Got no issues so far other than regular maintenance. They built them bulletproof.
Awesome build! I have a '98 SR5 manual, and I'm looking at adding a front bumper, really liking the Addicted Offroad version like you have. I'm wondering - when you added your bumper, could you tell a difference in the performance, given you also have a 5-speed, did it change your shifting, etc., whether on pavement or off-roading?
Biggest thing i noticed was the braking. The standard brakes just didn't cut it anymore. I've upgraded to the Tundra brakes and works fine now. The other big difference is approach angle. The stock bumper is huge in comparison. I did also relocate the window washer reservoir as it just kind of hung out there in the open.
@@Kindred.Wanderlust Good to know on the windshield washer reservoir (I hadn't thought about that). That's what I've heard on the braking - I grabbed a pair of 13WL calipers at the junkyard recently, hoping to rebuild those and then get everything else for it. Thanks for the info!
Had mine since HS and wanted to sell it a few times but i just can't. Still runs great, no 3 amigos and looks brand new inside and out. But its time to rig it up, get some adventure scars on it while using it for what it's built for, and reconnect.
I just bought a 2004 land rover discovery 2 with the 4.6 with 146k on mileage that was in a minor accident. The previous owner said it runs & drives i completely got it by not driving with every one driving my plan is to do a 5.3 LS swap and mate it to current transmission so i can keep the functions/ features on that transmission, i already own a land rover lr3, but i always liked the look of the D2 they are easy to lift no shop needed on many things its crazy i own over t0 cassette tapes from back in the day but it will have togo the radio, i keep telling myself this will be a simple build i own 8 other old vehicles i spent a lot on my 07 yota fj cruiser and 05 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon, thats built for overlanding, i hope i keep this build under 10k by me doing most of the work but the LS swap probably cost me 6k there in parts & motor anyway nice build 😊
Love this setup way more than all the giant tire lifted setups. Not a big fan of the big wheel lifted 4runners because the parts wear out faster, and when you're up in the mountains, like were one of these is supposed to be, the last thing you want is for one of your front wheels to fall off because the ball joint or something was tired!
