    Tire Questions

    I have had the STT 35x12.5 on my land cruiser for about 5 years. Its been a great tire and they are quiet. They get a little more buzz when I rotate them but only for a few miles.

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    70 FJ55 with SBC 350 EFI, 4.10s and 35in tires. Last trip with gear for 3 people I averaged 12 mpg over 2500 miles. Several hundred miles on dirt roads. I am hoping to increase the mpg when I put the 5.3 LS in this winter.

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    This our whiskey taste test at my last adventure. The stuff in the paint thinner can would have been better if it WAS paint thinner.

    Old Vehicles.

    I divert the heater core hoses thru a heat exchanger and use an rv pump to suck bathing water from a bucket or stream. Was about $250 worth of stuff to make. I have a 700r4 now, but a 4L60e will go in with the LS.

    Old Vehicles.

    I like some of these vehicles. Here is my 1970 Land Cruiser FJ55. It has a EFI small block, AC, power windows and remote entry. Other goodies like a heated shower and a decent stereo. I have an LS 5.3 that I am starting an install next month.

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    Basil Hayden is so smooth. I was never a whiskey guy until I tried it. I have expanded my tastes to others but I still come back to Basil and always have a bottle around.

    Anybody know unladen weight on HJ45

    https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/hj45-gvw.274591/ According to the best Toyota site it's about 4100#. Probably depends on if its SWB or LWB.

    Stickers

    This is the driver rear cargo window. I can't see out of it so it can get covered. I decided to start getting stickers well after I started roaming the country. I guess I just have to go back to those places... shucks.

    Why?

    I don't mind trailing with other vehicles but once a year it is pigs only.

    Spare tire location

    Have you ever tried to pull a tire down from the top of a vehicle? More importantly have tried to put it back? I do a lot of solo traveling and it is not easy slinging 35in tires around. You can possibly hurt your vehicle and most definitely hurt your back.

    GPS Coordinate Format - What say you?

    As a surveyor I use DMS. Same with bearings.

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    This rig is a rolling contradiction. It's old, smelly, and bumpy but I have put power windows and door locks, and a decent stereo. It has GM running gear with EFI, 2018 Pacifica seats, heated shower, and LED lighting. The back is not big enough for me to sleep in. I put all the seats further...

    WHY did you choose YOUR rig?!

    I can vouch for Tundra reliability. We started buying them in 2011 for our survey vehicles. We load them up with boxes and gear and do a ton of off road work. The first 6 tundras we bought all went over 200k without 1 trans, motor or xfer issue. That being said, my rig is not a Tundra. It's a 49...
