Hi! The internet called and said that Jason and Wyatt had found eachother in some alternate universe forum where there was no talk of transfer cases and where "airing down" refered to bags on suspension instead of tires on beadlocks.

They sent me to keep you two from causing trouble and to act as an interpreter since I can speak Toyota-to-Ford for them.

I just read through and am caught up at this point!
Actually there are toyota steering boxes on some of our trucks to upgrade to power steering! So there may not be as much translation needed, as you think LOL
Cool Lincoln! and those custom kid seats are awesome!

I want that red Landcruiser in the background! But I may have to mount Ford emblems on it, to talk about that on this forum!

Welcome to FTE! alot of great people on here!

Thanks, my 3 year calls the lincoln her car and if you ask her she says it should be pink when I give it to her.

I saw that you guys used toyota power steering boxes. I thought that was interesting we use them to do Solid axle swaps on the newer toyota's.

That land cruiser is a 30' car it looks good from 30' and will be lucky to make it 30' on the trail..

Actually it's how they set up this shop, it's a little weird having a kitchen area in the shop but it's a good place for the guys to wash their hands instead of tracking through the show room making a mess.
