    Recommendations for tailgate, spare tire drop down table/stove tray?

    I have a 1993 80 series and it is set up like sooty on 4 wheel drive action in Australia. I ordered mine from Japan with the turbo diesel. With that out of the way, what exactly are you looking to do with your lc. My rear bumper is from costal offroad, swingout tire carrier and Jerry can swing out.

    Where to start with ham?

    I have used cb radios since I was a teen. I have read reports and watched videos and now I have data coming out of my ears. Hand held or hard mount in my 03 tj, mid range in price is ok, not pinching pennies.

    Deciding on budget rig - 1st gen Tundra vs 4th gen T4R

    If your looking at a Toyota, the route I went was a 1993 landcruiser 80 series turbo diesel that I got for 15k. It is similar to Shaun Wales sooty from 4 wheel drive action in au. I will never sell it.
