No idea. Idk what they are worth.
Less than what's in it that's for sure. Plus the sentimental value.
But, I'm probably never going to spend the $5k to make it what I want it to be, so it's kind of a pointless waste of garage space you know.

How's the conversion on the Wahmbulance going?
>>16298634
Washing salt and snow from my winch. Going up north this time of year is surreal since it's already winter condition North of Barrie and when you get down south into Toronto, it's like Autumn again with the dry, salt-less roads.
10 cm of snow for Toronto on Monday though which means 15-20 cm up north. Wew! can't wait to hear the crunch of the tyres against deep snow again.
What happens if you stall your car when in engine exhaust deep water?
I stalled when it hit a rock that I didn't see underwater but immediately restarted the engine and it was fine. I think the water level just reached the door seals and I was blowing bubbles from the exhaust. It drives fine right now but has some random engine lug moments.
>>16299182
no.
>>16295270
i'd love a completely over-the-top modified land cruiser like this, it's just so unnecessary for where i live
>>16299538
Not unnecessary since if you only have little pebbles and shallow water, you'll be able to rush through that paths going 40 where everyone else in their stock Jeeps will be trying navigate it at 15-20. Quick rollies.
>>16299342
Looks like you pushed it back out before it did any damage. Remember to crawl.

>>16300701
no, but the guy selling the truck is a real nice guy and might give me more time, I don't want to ask him for it though, it wouldn't necessarily be a respectful thing to do seeing he already gave me about one and a half weeks.
>>16300727
It wouldn't but you gotta deal with those people somehow.
Remember that there will always be better deals but also that you will never talk to these people again so you don't really have to be ueber nice to them. Pretend they're NPCs or something. If they give you something, then take it.
>>16300748
true, I feel what you mean, but if i'm disrespectful I think my chances lower and this is a very specific truck that I for a variety of reasons. So in short, yes but no haha. I'm torn
>>16300764
plus extended cabs are super rare and i'm 6'3, I don't fit in single cab trucks, it just doesn't work.
My mud terrains were pretty shit in the snow last year, so I'm thinking about buying dedicated snow tires. Is there anything that will work well in the snow, but still be decent off road? I won't be doing a ton of off roading over the winter, and when I do, I imagine the trails will be pretty snowy anyway, so I think they'd perform pretty well in both situations.
Right now I'm thinking 265/75/R15 Firestone Winterforce UV on my old 15x7 D windows.
>>16300764
Fuck. That was you who posted that query on how not to offroad with 40 year old blumpkins...
And their kids. (best double post I've ever seen, btw. That fucking face)
Anyway, don't be rude to them, lmao. But if they give you something (like time or energy), then fucking take it and reciprocate and keep them happy.
You clearly would be very happy with the trucc. So I say this with the nicest way possible, please don't self cucc. Get the YJ out the door and make yourself happy.
>>16300776
I'm 6'4" and have loads of room in my single cab with lots of room. Or is this like a Ranger/S10 we are talking about
>>16300777
Nice lucky tripoli.
I run 32 Duratracs on my Ranger that are meant to be "truck snow" tyres but are also amazing offroad tyres without spending over $250 each. Works very well in my trucc and good gas mileage (unlike some of the coopers I was looking into)
>>16300791
its not a big truck its an 85 toyota pick up 4x4 extended cab.
>>16300787
yeah that was me
also yeah not down to be rude to a bro.
>>16300776
I couldn't imagine not having an extended cab. It's already a small truck and not being able to move the seat or lean back would make me go insane
>>16300797
This thing's my beater, so I'm looking to keep the price pretty low. The Firestones I mentioned are only $88 a piece, which is why I was thinking of picking them up. Not super concerned about the lifespan, mpg, etc. Only really worried about their performance in snowy and icy conditions.
>>16300812
This guy gets it, even though I bought the jeep from a migit who put in new seats 2 feet from the dash, I like a snug fit, but not tight.
>>16300823
>>16300812
look at this, that's with both seats all the way back. They're out of an xj if you're wondering.
>>16300428

>>16300817
chains. depending on where you live, this is the cheapest option to dig into the snow and ice. you can even get used ones depending on where you live. just make sure you check for metal fatigue and obvious rust.
the worst part of upgrading to 33s without a lift kit is i can no longer toss chains around my ranger's tyres since it'd absolutely obliterate my wheelwell

It's a marathon not a sprint haha. Still trying to plan it out in detail. I'm at the stage where I can't do much until I completely gut the interior and redo the electrical system to my liking. And I'm projecting at least 2k on the conservative side to do that...
In the meantime I'm throwing small stuff at it. For instance I bolted up a pair of tail light brush guards to compliment the one up front.
Been snowing like a bitch the last few days. Got 6" already and we're supposed to get another 7-10" by tomorrow morning. If I didn't work 3rd shift all weekend I'd be up in the woods camping haha.

Also I fucking hate that all the good craigslist deals for 4x4's are with cars that have an automatic. Just want muh sweet sweet MANual.
>>16301190
I too need to replace my driver axle seal. I have another axle to swap in because that's easier.
When would it be an advantage to use a manual over automatic and vice versa?
(I've never been off-roading, please include lots of detail)
>>16303015
These boys are constantly jerking it to manuals but anything that is more than just slinging mud or over landing an automatic is way more convenient. Crawling and anything on the mountains a auto is comfy.
>>16303015
everyone on here wants manuel because of retarded maymays
automatic is better in every way off road
But manuals are more fun an skill intesive. And with little 4 bangers you don't lose 50% of you power.

>>16303128
>Couldn't we ask WAT racing to make a few given we buy at least ~10?
idk someone go do this please
we need a good design though. none of that faggot shit.
and it doesnt need to be like 14 inches long either. if i wanted something to take up half my window id use your fucking mam
>>16303137
>>16303140
I was going to send this to an email and had my email client up.
[email protected]
But then I just realised that I don't have a design and no nothing about web or graph design. Nor do I want to bother one of my friends for an hour to make a legitimate design.
Any ideas? We had that "make cars into pepe" thread a while back so I know the talent is here. I eben got my Ranger pepe'd!
I can draw one up, but I'd like to see what everyone else would like to see. I'm thinking just /ORG/ and the "O" is shaped like an a/t tire
>>16303179
someone do a simple drawing of an 80 going over a rock
P L S

do this >>16303599
and the real wheel of the 80 is the "O" in org
>>16303611

the rear wheel/O should be on the rock higher up in the air
>>16303611
put a WAT somewhere
>>16303615
>>16303599
>>16303179
>>16303594
so basically this but not retarded and done in photo shop, I think an 80's series is not distinguishable from many other cars but a fj40 would be way better because it's an extremely unique shape.
-yj guy.
>>16303635

>>16303660
why WAT, what does it mean.
>>16303654
>so basically this but not retarded and done in photo shop
agreed. i think a simple etching type style would look best
i think the 80 shape is incredibly unique looking. it also fits with the whole 90s toyota memelording of this entire board. but id be ok with a 40 too
>>16303664
man that looks great !!
definitely an awesome start.
>>16303668

>>16303671
its a basic suv, definitely not distinguishable when drawn by someone like us
>>16303664

>>16303684
it has very distinguishable lines
i agree with the other guy it is not very basic looking at all
>>16303704
perhaps something just resembling a tire as the 'O'?
Will these fit my '89 Toyota Pickup? I'm worried about them not fitting over the manual hubs.

>>16303704
I like that image, did a super quick mock-up. The tire in the O wouldn't work too well so I decided to make it underneath and just add a bunch of /o/ shit to the FJ
I'll probably up the resolution too when I do the real deal and sharpen up the lines to make it easier to print
>>16303826
Also input/more things to put on the FJ would be appreciated
>>16303826
Ah, that's a good point. Should it be a vinyl sticker or just one of those cutouts?

Going to look at this tomorrow, may buy if everything works like dude says it does.
>>16303775
They're located abut an hour from me, so I wanted an idea of whether or not they would fit before I drove out there to buy them.
>>16303941
NAICE! Do transparent vinyls exist or will this have to be a solid sticker?
Either works for me but this is looking great.
>>16303957
>lifted
check spring quality and if they're disked
the fact that he has a solid steel winch bumper makes me think coils are changed out but you never know.
also expect to dump like $1000 into new tyres in a year or two with those treads (though the pictures i can't tell that well)
>>16303982

do a search of wheel matching on a few toyota forums. might be a bit too niche / specific for ORG, desu senpai
>>16303826

>>16304027

>>16304097
Holy shit are those fog lights on top of an LED bar?!?
>>16304061
btw from my experience with stickers, creating a printed sticker is different from a cut out, so im assuming you guys are planing to make a printed sticker because the image contains more than one color. Witch also is more expensive to make, and uglier because the sticker has to have a colored background or clear background. So if you want to make a printed one, add colors so it's cooler because if you have 2, why not go all out.
-yj guy
>>16304115
yep :^)
I'm thinking of drawing twingo headlights on the FJ. Any thoughts?
>>16304121 so this is how a die-cut is applied, and is cut from a large sheet of the color.
>>16304128
and this is a printed.
>>16304125
no lmao
>>16304125
As funny as that'd be, I'd buy two but I would not put them on my trucc.
>>16304148
>>16304140
Okay so no Twingo
>>16304121
Yeah, it'd definitely be printed. Personally I'd like to keep it black and white just because I like as few colors as possible on my Taquito but I could make a colored version
>>16304168
so basically, finish the design. Then make the gray white and save it for diecut, then do colors and save for printed so you have the choice
>>16304174
since the lines are fairly thin and (somewhat) detailed it would be hard to make die-cut from a manufacturing and application standpoint. I figure we could make two versions of the same printed sticker: one with the black and white outline and one with color fill
>>16304097

>>16304189
Yeah that crossed my mind as well, I took a screen printing class in highschool and that was a problem with the die cutter machine, it could not cut fine lines without folding the sticker off the base.
Well, gentlemen, I have to go to work for the evening. I'll be having finals all week so I'll be posting on and off. I'll probably work on cleaning and re-sizing since it's a pretty small image so far.

What happened here and why wasn't I invited!?
>>16295270
>>16295270
is this the 4x4 thread?
if so, is it safer to engage 4x4H on the roads today (we're getting a lot of snow)? What's the difference between 4L and 4H? People tell me not to use 4H on pavement because it fucks up my engine
i am new to 4wd. pls no bully
>>16304539
so, engaging 4H or 4high, is the same gearing and you regular 2wd gearing. 4H will simply give you better control on the icey road, it will not cause any damage, but remember when you park or are not driving, put you car back into 2H/2wd. 4L is 4 wheel drive, but it seleccts a lower gearing, 4low. 4low simple makes you car slower but give extra tourque, DONOT used 4low unless nessesary, and do not shift into the higher gears in your transmission while in 4low.
2H: normal driving
4H: off road/bad conditions where additional traction is needed
4L: Used generally only for offroading and crawling
This will not hurt your car, it's there for a reason. But using 4H on the road in regular dry conditions does put unnecessary stress on your drive train. Again only use 4wd (4h) if the conditions are bad and you need it. The most common problem is people using it when they don't need to, or people thinking they are invincible and driving to fast in bad conditions. Stay safe senpai.
>>16304539
4hi is a 1to1 output from the transfer case and 4lo engages the gear reduction
Generally it is ok to run 4hi on the road for short duration and under 55mph.

>>16304996
Because 6000lbs.
It is one of the best desert runners, you're right (for the price. obviously we're not going to consider saudi prince vehicles or M1 Abrams). However, for mud and snow, it disqualifies itself all because of the weight.

>>16304539
>People tell me not to use 4H on pavement because it fucks up my engine
It's not going to hurt your motor, but it will place strain on your driveline and tires.
Basically true locked 4x4 doesn't have a differential between the front and rear axle, so when you are turning on pavement, your front wheels are being over driven, esp if you've got a locker or LSD. This wears your tires and your driveline faster than if you were off road or in dirt.
The other possible problem is some systems don't rate their front end complements for high RPM load, so if you drive too fast, you could spin your front diff or driveshaft to death.
When conditions are legit slippery, none of these are a factor.
Do a donut to check conditions.
>>16305020
You can have it, crownon! After what Taquitanon did with the sticker (and he's not even done yet), I don't mind crashing the swiftconomy.
>>16305018
Curb weight. We're talking about reality of you treading through mud. It's simply too big.
And if you tried to build it for rock climbing, the amount of lift and the 200lb tyres you put on it would absolutely negate all the work you put into it.
I'm not ragging on the vehicle, though. It just isn't built for that porpoise. You have to respect the porpoises for which the vehicles are built as whale.
>>16304996
>placed 3rd in the baja 1000 with only a roll cage and auxiliary light modifications
It was 52 seconds from DNFing due to time.
Also it didn't have stock shocks.

>>16304539
4WD will help with getting moving but that doesn't necessarily mean more control. This misconception and false sense of security is a reason why 75% of stuff stuck in the ditch in the snow up here are 4wd stuff. Also, since you have the front wheels engaged as drive wheels prepare for understeer. This is why I personally hate using 4wd in snow unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
As far as 4Hi vs 4Lo other anons answered this and they are correct so I will skip this one.
Using 4wd on DRY pavement won't necessarily fuck up your motor, but it puts a shit ton of stress on your drivetrain. Reason being is when the transfer case is locked into 4wd, all the wheels want to turn at the same speed. When you turn this becomes a problem because 4 wheels travel 4 different distances and need to turn at different speeds to compensate for this. While full time 4x4 and AWD can compensate for this, most 4x4 trucks cant, so don't use it on dry pavement. And if you do, just don't turn...
>>16304996
Too expensive. I'd rather have a 2k beater truck with 10k worth of mods to outdo this...

whats funny is that all the delusional ford fags think its the best off road vehicle ever made for EVERY application.
it probably is the best vehicle straight from the factory at high speed desert runs, but that is like the niche of all niche. most people purchasing 4x4s want to just crawl to unique destinations in the woods which it is total ass at for several different reasons.
I just bought a zj cherokee for 800 dollary doos. V8 too. Runs perfect, just a little rust over the passenger wheel well.

But yeah, desert rolling is pretty niche and so is FJ cruiser. I think it's just that all stock pickup truccs (F-150, Ram 1500, Silber1500) are so alike nowadays, the only way they can sell them is brand loyalty.
I remember having a conversation with another Rangerfag at the gun range the other day and I brought up my old Colorado and he was like "what's that?". I told him "it was my old chevrolet pickup th-" and he immediately cut me off and said "oh I don't like chevies. don't bring them up around me".

>>16305369
>The transfer case, an engineering marvel, combines the expected 2H, 4H and 4L with a clutch-based torque-on-demand system that turns the Raptor into an all-wheel drive truck. While 4H distributes the torque in a 50/50 split, this technology, called 4A, instead puts torque to whatever wheel needs it most, making the Raptor handle better on the pavement in inclement weather.

Really want an FJ 80 Land Cruiser, but around here they're like $10k with ~150k miles. That's pretty steep for what it is in my opinion. Is there some reason why they hold their value so well? And what makes them so good for off roading? If I did end up buying one, I'd just do a small lift, bigger tires, and probably some bumpers for recovery points.
>>16306538
Stock offroader because 20cm of stock clearance, an otay amount of storage, and good undercarriage. Built for mudding with some rock climbing potential in stock.
The reason they hold onto value is because despite selling a SHITTON of them, you don't see them on the streets much and they're... weird. They're very, very weird.
>>16306571
Weird how? Like they're just kind of odd, or weird in the way they're built or in a mechanical way? Just found a pretty decent looking one for sale and I'm thinking about asking the guy to trade for my bike with a little cash on my end, then selling my XJ and keeping this as a new daily.
It's a gray 96 with 202k and from the pics it looks like it has a little rot starting on the drivers rocker, but that's nothing unusual in New England. My XJ has rot, too.
>>16304281
Why are toyotafags alway so insecure? I don't ever hear of jeeps or anyone else having anti-toyota stickers. It's like the obese hamplanet that's extremely insecure about being a hamplanet and trashes normal women for not being """curvy""". Top kek.
>>16306584
yeah, he just did it as a joke, he loves driving my yj
>>16306584
why do you take everything seriously?
>>16306581
They are weird in that they're just not... standard looking. Find another vehicle that would be the FJ's sister ship. You can't.
You'll run through cars like "hummer body but rounded" or "taller jeep (or FJ40)" but none of them really matches the outlier that the FJ cruiser is. It came with one engine option and made a completely separate aftermarket community since it was made as an offroader so it needed the potential upgrades that only an aftermarket community could give.
It's hard for companies to make a vehicle itself wanted by the public let alone warrant a whole aftermarket subsection dedicated to it.
I wouldn't be surprised if jeep sales dropped because of the FJ cruiser sales rising. It just creates a new bubbly aesthetic to the square-body dominated offroad community with the Jeeps and Land Cruisers and G-Wagens and Defenders. As cars got more and more rounded, offroaders and oberlanders didn't. This thing stands out.
None of this shit is a bad thing, btw. It just adds to the resale value. You might be used to it already since you dribe an XJ but be wary of daily driving this thing because muh em pee gee

Not worried about MPGs. My XJ gets low teens on a good day. More concerned about reliability and how well it can take a beating. I kind of beat on my XJ and don't really take care of it, but the thing doesn't care. It runs kind of shitty, but it's my beater so I plan to run it into the ground anyway.
>>16306678
It's a toy yoda. If my friend's over-priced 2012 RAV4 can take a beating, an FJ cruiser with ridiculous stock ground clearance built for offroad by toyota should have no issue.

Yeah it was some kinda scam.
Waited at the spot for an hour, he finally showed up after telling me to be patient. Ran fine, needed brakes, was set to buy until seller heard it wasn't cash, but a check. He got very nervous and told me that was a problem. I told him that I don't carry cash to Craigslist car transactions and that I told him last night that it was going to be a check and he said that'd be fine. He then told me that I couldn't have it because someone had already put 100 down on it. I reminded him that last night he'd said just the opposite, that someone was going to come put 100 down on another one he had but never did. He didn't like that at all. I thanked him for wasting my time, told him not to call me again, and drove an hour home.
SCUM. BAGS.

>bringing a check for a craigslist deal

That's not the issue. The issue is that the mutual parties themselves agreed to the terms and then the seller just decided to feel uncomfortable at the last minute like a werido.

I have to ask. You went with LED AND HID? Why both?
>>16312498
HID for beam patterns that perform better when controlled. For instance the PIAA 520 fogs make infinitely better fog lights than Rigid DOT LED fogs. The Hella 4000s have significantly more range than any half way affordable LED options, and without overpowering foreground.
The LED bar I chose for flood lighting because none of the affordable LED bars have optics up to the task of generating a complex, controlled pattern. They throw light everywhere. Terrible for a fog beam or spot beam, but great for a simple flood beam.
Well I got the ol fat nasty sitting in its new home. Still gotta put the cross member in and start hooking everything up, gotta either get shorter valve covers or smaller brake booster
If a vehicle is a 4x4, is it entirely possible to make it select fwd to get a bit better MPGs?
>>16314056
You must be thinking of all wheel drive not 4 wheel drive
Regardless, it wouldn't make a noticeable difference
>>16314056
In a conventional 4wd, it's either everything or the rears, sorry.
Also, if you want the best MPGs, anything 4wd is a bad choice to start out with. Even if you could theoretically select just the front axles I doubt you'd get any noticeable MPG gain. To top it off you'd be seeing more wear and tear on your front end so it could end up costing more in the long run.
