Dear Rix; Obviously, I must be pretty good at what I do, because I am still doing it and I am getting well paid! You own a Corolla? I had the impression there was a very feminine side to you, my non-macho friend. Your friend; LAMAR

Dear nate8887; First, you are a ***** with a capitol Pfor needing a trailer, my friend. I'll bet you squeal like a bitch slapped little school girl every time you get a flat tire, don't you? in fact, do you even KNOW how to break down and build up a tire? Let me put it to you in perspective, my...

Dear Tree Climber; The fact of the matter is that I offered up some very sensible advice to a young man who is most likely purchasing his very first 4X4. I took into account that his parents aren't millionaires, therefore I offered a low-buck solution, which was this in a nutshell: "Buy a...

Dear Tree Climber; I tend to get a bit defensive when I offer up some solid advice, which is based on some 30 odd years of very serious wheeling as an integral part of my job, and then some yahoo, who trailers his rig to the trail and back, comes along and says "Lamar's a troll!" And yeah, a...

Dear POO; Oh yeah, that's a great way to get someone killed! Weld up the rear diff, hit a slick spot going around a corner and then kiss your azz goodbye when the back end of the rig suddenly becomes the front end! Awesome advice! Do you actually THINK, even a tiny bit, before you write crap...

Dear POO; Longfields before a front locker??? Puhhhhhhhhhh leeeeeeeezeeeeeeeeeee!It's really no wonder that today's youth is so screwed up, with a bunch of putzes offering up tidbits like that! Just an FYI, in MOST parts of the world, people seem to get along fine and dandy without Longcraps...

Dear Rix; My statement "Get lockers before you get a Hi-Lift jack" was strictly metaphoric in nature, my somewhat dense friend. Naturally all 4X4s should have a Hi-Lift jack mounted on them as a permanent fixture, as well as a good quality shovel, a sledgehammer, a prybar, tow strap, chains...

Dear DIRTAHOLIC; It's a nice rig that's definitely a good candidate for a full restoration. Never mind what others say about the engine, that F series block will still be running merrily along after 4 or 5 SBC motors have long since bitten the dust. Personally, I'd never swap out a a Toyota I6...

Dear nate8887; Negatory, my friend. That particular FJ60 has the big 9.5" ring gear semi-floating rear diff, which means it's every bit as strong as a semi-float Dana 60, or perhaps a bit stronger. In all actuality, the SF axles the older Land Cruisers are bigger in diameter than the FF axles...

Dear Nate8887; I tend to disagree with this, my friend. With all other portions of the equation being equal, a 4WD vehicle needs three things to proceed, those being traction, ground clearance and power (torque). Of course a person can compliment any one of the three aspects and it will help...

Dear Not8887; So, you will disagree with someone and make yourself out to be a total idiot solely on principal??? That's pretty hardcore, my friend! Your friend; LAMAR

Dear 5-0-9 Wheeler; Nice purchase my friend! I am personally VERY glad you bought an FJ60 as this will preclude you making countless other threads, asking silly questions about every 4X4 ever built! Now, BEFORE you do an SOA and BEFORE you put a winch on it do THIS! Put LOCKERS it in! Do this...

Dear 60FJ40; I meant that the diff 3rd members are swappable FRONT TO REAR and VICE VERSA in the same vehicle's numerical family, however this does not always apply to vehicles outside of their respective build family. As an aside, the 70 family utilized the same running gear as the 40...

Dear crapyota; AFAIK, all 3rd members for the J series Land Cruisers are swappable between the front and read differentials. Your friend; LAMAR

Dear 5-0-9 wheeler; The FJ60 leafpacks are definitely made specially for the *J6* series ONLY! There are even differences between the front and rear leafpacks on the J60 series, that being the at rest (uninstalled) eye to eye measurement is a couple millimeters more on the front leafpacks than...

Dearf CHOP SHOP; Wanna see some *fixes*??? OK, how about this for a *fix*? My 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 quad had a poly gas tank that was totally deteriorated due to the bottom of tank being in close proximity to the exhaust pipe. Over time the bottom of the tank became brittle to the point of...

Dear CHOP SHOP; Yeah, but the ladies love it, my friend. Your friend who always thinks of the feelings of the gentler half; LAMAR

Dear group; My imfamous rollover pic along of a shot of my Hi-Lux when a softball sized rock went thru the windshield a couple of months ago. YOur friend; LAMAR

Dear CHOP SHOP; I am sorry my friend, but I didn't happen to hear the magic word... Your friend who likes to hear the magic word; LAMAR

Dear CHOP SHOP; IIRC, I actually DID post a pic of my FJ40 here on NWW once upon a time. There was a thread titled something "Your best rollover pic" or some other thing such as this. I then took a photo of said FJ40 in the driveway, flipped it upside-down 180 degrees, and then posted it...
