We’re all just getting into semantics now, what I meant was that my guess is that Toyota developed a new wishbone front suspension for the Prado 90 and N185 generation Hilux Surf (4Rrunner), and applied it to the Tacoma. Then again who knows, the Tacoma officially went on sale at the same time as the Prado 90, so it…

It is more appropriate to say that Toyota gave the Tacoma some Prado components (the double wishbone front suspension, for example) in it’s creation of a more people-friendly, fuel efficient, recreational compact pickup. The Hilux stayed with solid front axles and then torsion bars in front longer. There is a lot of…

Pathetic self-hating white guilt knows no bounds.

“Man this makes me really hate black males” how does that sound for contrast?

You complain about supposed “racism” when someone talks bad about your cherished “moderate” islamists, then go on to pull the classic “Russians are poor drunks and are paid in Vodka LOL.” So does that make you a xenophobic asshole or what? Am I talking to John McCain?

Let the butthurt flow through you...

The most fun I’ve had offroad on a motorcycle is arguably on my brother’s beater-ish 1965 Honda S90. Honda-phile bike collectors might cringe, but actually having one of these that you can rip around the college campus on and take down dirt roads to explore is awesome. Original paint on the tank but the fenders and…

How so? If anything, the XJ will ultimately fatigue its unibody(ish) structure to death before the JK will have an issue with longevity. The latest wranglers aren’t that much of a departure from the old ones in terms of basic mechanicals, and I’d argue a new Rubicon has sturdier axles and transfer case than most older…

“common sense gun control laws”

No offense but you look like the poster child for this website:

Why do you feel the need to post FSA propaganda in every single one of your posts? Do you think it’s effective? It just outs you as a highly biased participant in the discussion.

The use of Hinds to both ferry groups of Spetsnaz GRU out to remote passes near Pakistan to intercept weapons caravans, as well as using the Hinds in their weapons platform role to search and destroy the caravans, is seen fairly universally as a very successful and effective tactic during the Soviet-Afghan war. Hinds…

Actually they did incredibly well. Very useful both in Chechnya and Afghanistan. Helos will always have losses in an area saturated with MANPADS and other AA. They’re big, slow moving, low altitude targets. In fact, it was the incredible efficacy of Soviet gunships that prompted the US to start sending those valiant…

You seriously think they haven’t thought this through? The air bases are pretty far into government controlled territory, and you can bet that the Russians are flying UAVs and carefully monitoring for any sort of funny business. And if worst came to worst, Russians aren’t the Iraqi Army: even with their relatively…

“ I took it to the drag strip and it outran a glacier!”

If Doug is looking at a US-spec 200 Series, it damn well better. They do 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds with that burly iForce 5.7L V8.
