@shawnmason5290 Год назад

I’ve got a gun collection, but I don’t hunt. I think it would be very interesting. My son lives in Missoula, Montana and was telling me yesterday how cheap it is to get tags for elk and wolf and everything out there. We are in Central western Illinois where we grow the great big corn, fed white tail people spend big money to come here and hunt in our cornfields. You don’t get to load up on tags in Illinois.

@randyweishaar3316 Год назад

I just wanted to give you guys a big thank you! My son and I changed out the gearing and added lockers to his 98 XJ. I don't think I would have had the confidence if I hadn't been watching Fab Rats and MORR. Once again, Thank you very much! BTW, the XJ works great!

Get you a 4th gen. I have 2 of them with the v8. 250k miles on both of them and they just work. Much more cabin space. My brother has a 3rd gen and he wants to sell it to buy a 4th gen

@@joshuaearnheart2756 I currently have a 06 tundra with the 4.7 and I love that truck. The main reason I want a 1st Gen Taco or 3rd gen 4runner (both later versions of their respective generations) is that i have had both of them and they wheeled great, I love the way they look, and it's definitely a nostalgia thing. I would agree that the 4th gen 4runner with the V8 is a great option too. Especially for a daily driver rig.

It was my daily driver and we tripped to North Carolina 4 years in a row for the Smoky Mountain Trek. Drive it down, play in the mountains for a week, then drive it home. Up here we have mud and we love mud. My toyota built up mud in the frame and finally cracked just behind the cab in 95.
