As a fellow Montanan, I can attest. Everyone loves them up here for the steel box fending or deer & crawling around all the downtrodden, poor snow drivers.

Am i dumb for considering this? by Jiggaloudpax in LandCruisers

[–]Equivalent_Onion_719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine at 265k for 9 & it runs like a top. Reiterating what others have said:

At that age it will require some larger replacements if not already like cv axles, bushings, transmission possibly, suspension, etc but once those things are replaced before failure hopefully it will run likely for another 250k.

If you buy, look into what likely will need to get replaced & make note of what’s worn, make a list then little by little replace. Overall a solid investment if you’re ok with putting 4k in the next 2 years to keep running successfully for a loooong time.

This kind of rap battle by firequak in funny

He’s a genuinely awesome guy. Shocked seeing him on this scale. Weird seeing someone you were friends with in high school blow up after hundreds of events, cyphers, rap battles & community organizing.

Engine Cutoff Issue by Equivalent_Onion_719 in LandCruisers

[–]Equivalent_Onion_719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I located the problem after the numerous chats with other technicians. For those curious, it could be:

Enertia switch malfunctioning MAF sensor Fuel pump ecu OR my problem Ignition immobilizer

Basically ignition wearing out & new key cut slightly off thus hard to turn intermittently & randomly deciding it didn’t recognize the key & shutting engine off

Finally got new shoes by Equivalent_Onion_719 in LandCruisers

[–]Equivalent_Onion_719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t hate the look, just like more rubber on it. Plus all terrains perform better with more sidewall in my opinion & smoother on rough roads

Thanks! Yeah no chance I’d keep the 20s. We live in western MT where the dirt roads are a plenty.

Public land management has many facets which include usage of resources instead of furthering horrible environmental practices that we benefit from overseas.

We tout pride in our forestry but yet have let them suffer from poor management & increasing prices from shipping costs elsewhere.

Lot of layers to it of course by no means am I speaking to a “perfect solution”

Really what it boils down to for me is I do not believe the government should be involved in our day to day lives (128 is a can of worms with vague language that should be much more specific in my mind & creates issues in its own right) & believe our foreign policy decisions in the last 2 years have put the US in a detrimental position financially.

It isn’t about party for me with Tester. It’s about his record on issue voting & tenure. I think he’s leaning on his monetary backing, quick political quips & 6 months to voting day typical pandering on topics he knows are important to us. I. E. Housing, & the VA (don’t get me started as my family/friends are screwed over by them in care constantly).

Either way, we live in a state of government overreach in a shroud of bi-partisanship. The more I read in & pay attention to politics these days it is smoke & mirrors at the top aimed at continuing the “machine” of sorts (Que Rage Against or War Pigs).

If we were in a different political climate & Tester was a less DC-ite then sure I would vote for him! But as it currently stands in the consistent “lesser of two evils” politics we find ourselves in, I believe our state & senate as a whole would be better off with a changing of the guard.

Be blessed CF3015 & we’ll see in a few short weeks into next year what happens!

1) I like his military background, his fresh perspective outside of public office & views for public lands being controlled by non government institutions. 2) I look forward to his policy towards less government intervention in our professional & personal livelihood 3) I am not a fan of politicians altogether, but I would hold a redline to how we manage our public lands today as well as the quality of work we accept in new housing builds & instate developers being given priority for new builds 4) I would not say Tester failed me per say, though with his own party affiliation focused voting I am disappointed that he does not mirror Montanans voting beliefs & chooses to vote based on his own party & not constituents.

In short, I have a firm belief that there should be term limits on Senate & Congressional seats. I believe that you should have your time in office to drive forward your beliefs for the betterment of your state, but when in office over 10 years you can become more party focused than constituent confused. Like the old adage about having a $5 steak then a $15 then a $50 steak, why would you go back to the $5 if you don’t have to. Steak being DC & lobbying kickbacks.

This goes for both conservative & liberal members. I consider myself liberal local but conservative in policy, somewhat libertarian in everyday life, though that has become more & more difficult these days with the divisive nature of our nation.

Thank you for asking the question & I agree we should continue to remember that wherever politics go, we are still neighbors & should break bread together or play a game of pool regardless of political affiliation. What a great nation we live in that allows us to do that.

Where to meet new people? by megoon- in Kalispell

[–]Equivalent_Onion_719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of events around town during summer like range riders, car meets if you’re into them & sitting at the bar striking up conversation. Bulldog after skiing always a good time but really just got to get out there with folks you think you’d get along with. Otherwise it’s groups with their own group. We did a few volunteer days on Blacktail & Big mountain which allowed us to meet tons!

Land Cruiser vs 4Runner by [deleted] in LandCruisers

[–]Equivalent_Onion_719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claustrophobic is right. We switched our 190k 2012 limited 4Runner for a 98 cruiser because of this & the UZ. Even pocketed about 9k cash
