But I'm used to driving trucks and my fj40, so the Z is a remarkably quiet and comfortable ride for me.

I was actually surprised at how well she absorbs the bumps and jitters of our terrible highways.

What year FJ40? What mods?

I have an '82 hardtop (still with its original 2F) that's rather modified with ARB lockers, snorkel, 4.88 R&P, GoRhino plates, and a slew of others. Unfortunately it's not stateside.

i have 4 RC trucks of that.

btw, let's not give this writer too much credit by talking about his article. his writing style is

whether z or not.

It's a '74, with the old school door handles and window cranks. My dad had a '73 when I was a kid, his was stock.

I bought mine in the late '90s for $3k. I had just sold my lifted '87 Hilux for the same, I jumped on it. It had a Chebby 350, and my friend and I dipped three Quadrajets to Frankenstein into a single good one. Still running that same setup, plus I did the shackle flip, 4" lift, lunchtime lockers front and rear. Saginaw steering, a 22 gallon reserve tank, some other fabs I made. The fenders were already cut, rockers too.

I really wish I had bought another bone stock.
