Thanks for excellent inputs, I'm a big fan of four bangers and webber carbs, I don't want to get into efi, just more crap to go wrong!  I've never had problems running a webber in some of the steep roads we have in my neck of the woods!  I just love webbers, They ROCK!!!!  As for the ifs, I'm tired of the cv joints and torsion bars, by going to a sas, I know I will sacrifice on road drivability. Hell, it takes me a year to rack up 5,000 miles on my truck, so I'm not worried about how it will ride.  If I were to look at getting a ifs truck, I would just keep driving my piss-on until it dies!  What I like is a sas toyota with a 4" suspension lift and some 33" tires.  I used to work at Les Schwab and installed alot of lifts.  Ifs costs alot more and more things to go wrong (I've seen alot of come backs due to parts shifting, breaking or bending etc.) and a leaf spring lift is alot cheaper, tougher and less things to go wrong!  As for the early 80's landcruisers, very cool rides, but like you said very expensive to work on, I know cause a buddy has a very cool one!
 I love reading everybodies comments, and I'm learning alot from them! Thank you again for your opinions!!!  8)  :thumbs:  As a matter of fact my wife's cousin is married to Dean Tyler, who works for   :turtle:  , and he's the one who got me hooked onto this site!!  So it's all his fault!!   
Miss ya Dean (4THEWKN) & Kyle (KYOTA)!!
