That is a fair assessment. 

Its on the final drive, you are correct.  The tighter ratio swap is pretty common in these. 

They did in 1990.

I thought the wonky movement was because of the overly aggressive rear brake actuated traction control. Maybe that was the Barabus, but I seem to recall something about that...its been a hot minute though. 

Well how the hell am I going to afford my new engine now!

Maybe that was happening before the shortage recently (old bronco, waggoneers, and land cruiser?).

ok....

Strawman much? 

Tomato tomato...

Yeah, I assume the leak is between the tank and the valve.

It was released into a containment dyke area around the tank, or as some might refer to it as the “secondary containment.” Knowing that, the remediation should be fairly easy. The road was probably closed as a precaution downwind.

Ahh, that makes sense. Yeah, I would praise any true jalop hero willing to track their CX-5! 

No, the tow truck was in place and cars where already stopped when the Miata came around the corner, lost control in the Miata, and wedged itself under the parked tow truck. The other stopped drivers ran over with extinguishers because the Miata’s fuel tank ruptured and caught fire. 

If you want something comfy and big, but not this massive you should go out and get an earth roamer.

Depends and why not?

ARB bumpers front and rear with a full size spare, winch, sliders, skid plates, ARB drawers, RTT, and any recovery gear/camping gear in the back.

Great question, but people also live in west Texas so I’m not sure this mystery will every be solved.

voice over man fades in....“little did he know, no one  actually liked it at all.”

Its not that crazy. I run it all the time around Ouray and over 10,000+ft passes in a 200 series land cruiser. The truck does just fine even as it tips the scales at around 8000lbs.

Wow, that is pretty impressive.  Does that assume you own your truck, or is this driving a company owned vehicle?
