Now these are the Jeeps that I lust after, that I dreamed about as a child.

Color me in the “so what?” camp. Even if it landed on a village, far more is at stake for the Iranians here in the long game. No one will ever admit it. Besides, missiles malfunction quite regularly. We just seldom hear about U.S. missiles doing it unless they malfunction by landing on a school or a hospital.

Far more…

That’s fair. I have determined there’s a lot that escapes you.

Wow, who’s spewing propaganda now?

“Preternatural ability”? lolololololololol

Apparently you have no idea how easy it is to mix things up in combat and sad truth is these things happen. Still a shame, and it shouldn’t have been done, but anyone who has done this for real knows how it can go. Same reason we have accidentally bombed and shelled our own troops with alarming regularity for over 70…

Love the blue on this thing too, I see so many that are red, tan, or white. More of a 60’s series guy myself, but I salute the passion and attention to detail this takes. Makes me want to blow a few hours searching Craigslist for another FJ62. I miss having to put the 4-ways on to get up to speed on the highway…

If you haven’t already, I’d support getting another HJC if the fit was good for you. They have served me well. My street helmet is a FG-17 at the moment, the somewhat lighter weight is easier on the neck than the older stuff. My dirt helmet is the same composite shell construction, I forget the number.

Men will nod. Boys will bow their heads in reverence. You wife will ask what’s wrong with the truck.

Yup. She wouldn’t straighten the idiot out, she makes all kinds of poor life choices. Best to run, run like the wind.

It seems a robust and reliable plane, it and the A-10 overlap immensely: both were overbuilt purposely to be shot up and keep pounding.

The aircraft can be present in Syrian airspace while not appearing on enemy radar, soaking up electromagnetic intelligence from Russian aircraft...

Fact is these jobs are pretty portable, and they don’t take any skills that can’t be taught relatively quickly to people then supervised by experienced foremen. Production engineers spend years figuring out how to streamline the process so there is as little to mess up as possible to churn them out and make it easy to…

Thanks, man, now my co-workers know I am not working.

Another 4-5 years and the 2008’s will be there, shorter if there is another gas shortage.

I know what you mean. I actually find the cabin in the front seat a little “closer” feeling for me in a bad way in the 200’s. I am not sure how to feel about it. I grew up with Big-3 trucks with bench seats, so I like the airy feel....but the 200 is safer.....

Just don’t know.

It looks like it would blend in with the other “Gulf States” TLC’s. Kinda hilarious, actually. Just missing gold wheels and blacked out front windows.

Honestly, after living with my 10 year old TLC in the U.S. for a year, and Africa for a year and a half, it has spoiled me, and I find other vehicles coming up short every time I think about replacing it.

I was on vacation in TX and test drove a used GL450 and was stunned at how little rear seat room it had in…

At the time, it was stupid. If viewed completely out of context, it seems prescient... but again, IF viewed completely out of context.

I had a cheap Tianjin made electric motorcycle I paid 200 USD for in when I lived in China.

It was awesome, took me and the Mrs. anywhere within 15 km at about 30-35 KPH and I didn’t have to deal with the sparsely placed petrol stations. I would buy one of these for a couple grand in a heartbeat if I am living in an…

I had the first car to my knowledge to have power windows as standard in the U.S.- FJ62 Land Cruiser.

I owned the car later in its life, granted, but after checking the switches and after replacing parts, weatherstripping, lubricating everything, a lot of prayers, more swearing, and a new fuse-box, they still sucked.

Sur…
