So...can I buy your P/S rear flare before you break it? :sombrero: How badly broke is the front one? Looks like a fun trip though!

There was no factory rear locker option on the 06. I have seen several 100 series diffs come apart, but only when they were being abused. Unless you drive like a madman off road or are running 35s,...

Also curious on what you plan on doing. The A-TRAC on the LX should get you almost anywhere you need/want to go.

Well, it isn't really a touring bike, but this is what I ended up with. It doesn't have the rack eyelet or the chromed chainstays, but the Columbus tubing and shimano 600 group made the decision...

I carried a Full sized 1911 double stack for several years and ended up switching to an XD SC and then a Walther P99 SC in 40S&W. Getting a subcompact is not the same as a pocket pistol--same amount...

I am on my 3rd 80 with no major issues. If you get a 97 it will only be 2 years older than your Taco. I think you will be very happy with it. Go with some 255s and a med lift and you will keep up...

Hmmm...

Missed this up until now--got busy winning the war. It seems that it may be a little late for another opinion, but here it is anyway. I don't frequent too many forums except ExPo and...

Take a look a the Slee off road 100 series guide. Pick out which features you and the wife want, buy that year cruiser. Only note that I have is that I have heard the factory toyota nav system can...

The two pinion front diff doesn't provide a whole lot of stiffness and allows the pinion gear to flex or break. The 4 pinion diff from 2000 on is less prone to this, but it still happens every so...

Not sure about the 200 series, but the 100 series only had the air suspension as an option starting in 06, where the LX had it standard starting in 98.

Decided to pass on the Bottecchia. I did find a 1978 Motobecane Grand Jubilee well within my price range. Research shows it to have Japanese components with standard/modern sizes and threading. ...

Congrats! Have pictures yet?

Worth considering, however, as the vehicle ages, you will face a choice with the LX470--spend a metric crap-ton of money on replacing the air suspension or ordering springs and converting it to...

The 100 series is more comfortable, but gets worse MPG. I would definitely go with a 2000+ model to get the A-TRAC as well.

Grrr....

Research shows it to be most likely not worth $300--straight gauge tubing, entry level group. I still like it though....

Paint scheme matches my 2000 Lemond as well...140658140659140660140661140662

Any thoughts on this Bottecchia?

This is just about perfect but listed as a 58cm. My calibrated eyeball tells me that it is a 61cm. Am...

Thanks for the insight! Solid info on these bikes has been pretty slim (or blocked by gov computers) I'll definitely pass on this one. I have been keeping an eye out all over SoCal and have found...

That seems to about what they are going for in San Diego with that mileage as well. Bump up 50,000 miles or a a couple years older and you can get one for 14k....

Anybody have any thoughts on the old Steyr Clubman? I read somewhere that it isn't a great quality bike, but haven't been able to confirm...

There is no major maintenance needed before 90k so no worries there. What year is it? As said above, I wouldn't let the fact that it was a lease factor in to your decision at all. A well...

My kiddos are pretty good sized--my 3 year old just uses a high back booster, but yes, the 2 year old's car seat would take up a lot of room. The more I think about it the more a shoulder belt is...

Fair question, and one that I had thought as well. Two solutions--either disable the airbag system on the passenger side or have one of the older kids ride up front. I am no auto engineer, but it...

That isn't a bad idea and may end up being cheaper than shipping a seat from overseas. I could use the existing anchor points for a lap belt and a spare third row latch to allow it to fold into an...

There aren't many 80 series in afghanistan but every other variant here is LHD and is offerred with the front bench--I haven't seen a 60 yet though. If I could find an 80 to swap the seats out of...
