I've seen some early 100 series Land Cruiser based Lexus rigs built up, but not any of the newer stuff. As long as it has Land Cruiser bones the aftermarket is pretty large though.

Actually the "Hilux" pictured with the rocket launcher is a 70 series Land Cruiser pick up.

Not for the tC, for the FR-S

There was a supercharger kit developed by TRD right as the car bowed, but due to a fear of blowing up the motor the TRD kit was priced at $26,000. That is not a typo, twenty six thousand dollars. It was discontinued almost immediately. Innovative has a roots blower kit that starts right around $3,000 and it bolts on…

How long did the Jeepster last? You don't buy a Jeep because it's practical, you buy a Jeep because you are holding on to an irrational hope you will drive it up the side of a mountain one day. People who want a Jeep won't want this, and people who want a practical car (car, not crossover, or SUV) will not shop for a…

Why wouldn't they show it? You have three western men, who when they take on a challenge always find a way to look inept. When they aren't screwing things up on their own, they are trying to sabotage each other, after which, they promptly leave the victim behind. I'd imagine they could spin that very well if they…

I wonder how much money she plans to give to the Asian fellow if she wins?

It's not something I've heard in over a decade.

Hell, they might not have gotten a manual on the lot up to that point. I had to wait nearly a month to get a manual Ultramarine FR-S, every other car on the lot was an automatic. Between the other Scion dealerships in the state there was one other manual trans car aside from mine at the time. In fact, the salesman…

Yes they do. The only dickering you really do is over the down payment and interest rate (at least that was the case for me.) The car prep lasted longer than getting the loan approved and pushed through. The salesman was a young guy who didn't know much beyond the price, and that it looked cool, but he didn't pretend…

I've always been a bit interested in turbocharging the straight 6, but I have no fabrication skills, lol.

It most certainly has two. Back in those days you could order a car exactly as you wanted it if you were willing to wait for them to build it. One of the rarest Mustangs made is a 69 Coupe with a 428 Cobra Jet and drag pack. So a base body means little to nothing in the 64-70 Mustangs. Things became more rigid when…

Nothing wrong with putting a hotter motor in, a small block Ford swap is completely reversible, no cutting whatsoever.

But if the UAW doesn't get their money how will they be able to afford to intimidate and coerce people into doing what they want? Not to mention preventing people from being fired when they are caught on camera drinking forties and smoking doobs in the parking lot.

It's an 89 FJ62 that I got from a former coworker who was moving to North Carolina. I got my Old Man Emu lift kit from FedEx a couple days ago, have a new exhaust on order, and when my tax return hits I'll get my air lockers ordered.

Yup, mine is box stock at the moment. I'm doing an expedition build on my Land Cruiser so I don't do something that would void my warranty on the Scion just yet. The only place I really notice the altitude really slowing down my car is above 100mph. It does run a lot stronger when I visit my family in Washington and…

I drive one at 6,000+ feet in central Nevada and have no problems, but I bought mine for what it is, not what it isn't. I can roast the tires through first and second gear, and chirp them into third. I've never been unable to pass on the 70mph highway in my area, which has significant hills. Best of all, if I want to…

That's still about $20k in US money.

How many luxury car buyers are educated? Luxury brands get by on brand recognition for probably over 95% of their sales. Most of the people who buy them new, keep them only until the next best thing comes out. Your average luxury car buyer isn't a Jalop, they are trying to pass the Joneses.

It comes from people cranking up the boost and blowing them up. Unmolested cars will run as long as somebody is willing to properly maintain them.
