You know, I'd have no way of knowing without clocking him. From what I can see RR's can reach speeds in the low 30's for short bursts and mid/high 20's for sustained runs; with an incredible amount of endurance and stamina. They will commonly beat out Whippets and Grey Hounds after a few laps...

:LIKE:

Knowing what I know now, having the dog that I've always wanted (RR), and an extra one in the mix (7y/o Golden Retriever), if I were in a position to replace one or start over I'd go for a male boxer; specifically one whose parents aren't very big. I would love a medium sized boxer, 40-55lbs...

Speaking of dogs, I got the privilege of seeing my 2y/o Rhodesian Ridgeback hit his top tier of running speeds today. It rarely happens that he feels the need to go all out in a run, but when he does it's one of the coolest things ever; he is VERY fast... Just wanted to share. :) ... Dogs do...

I think I'm slightly taller than you, and I fit in the back of my '99 just fine.

HBD Carl!! I hope that you have a relaxing day with no work. :)

I would love to head out with the FJ62, but I've got to get my basement closer to finished before Baja1000.

Lucky for you, TRD270 can't make it. :)

That's a good point, Kurt; tractor of a truck it is. One of the main reasons that I love my 62 is because it feels like a newer, slightly refined version of my '74 FJ55. It rides similar, feels similar, smells similar, sounds similar, but has slightly more power, more comfort (a lot), not as...

The following article goes along nicely with the OP's statistics: This is from Frank Borelli's NEW AMERICAN TRUTH e-letter. The "voice/author" is Tom Perroni and I think he's an instructor at Blackwater. When it comes to Handgun Stopping Power I have always taught my students that a Handgun is...

I'm not 100% sure what was up with my tranny. It sometimes had a difficult time shifting in the morning until it warmed up; especially if it sat for days. I probably should've done a gentle ATF flush when I first got it, but I didn't. It could've just been low enough on broken down fluid that...

She's ready when you are. Drive your pals 62 up so I can compare as well; for shits and giggles. Your spot on on the 14mpg for 3FE's. I've heard 62 and 80 guys joke that they get 14mpg bare bones vs packed and loaded for a week of camping with occupants. The 3FE is solid, the auto trans is...

The '88 FJ62 has the 4.0 3FE inline 6. I you can't easily acquire a mechanically sound 62 for your price range, I too would look at the numerous options of the XJ variety. I feel that I got lucky with my 62, as it's been owned for decades by cruiserheads; meaning its been taken care of...

You do realize that all of his listed options are station wagons, right? :/

BTW, got a used trans from a friend, paid another friend to install it since i have zero time and little means - and she's as good as new. :-) Cost around $450, but it's worth it to keep this truck running. The 62 feels so more truck-like than the Montero did. The Montero feels like a large tin...

62 hands down. I went through the exact same requirements and price range. I F'd up by going the Montero route, which cost me a total of $600. Learned my lesson and jumped into an FJ62. Obviously with age, use, unknown maintenance, any vehicle at 15+ years old can, and most likely WILL end up...

I'd go for 5.29's as well. Once you start building this thing, it's only a matter of time until your on 35's or 37's. Mark my words.

The Highlander edition 4Runners are known by the low profile black fender flares, hood scoop, and OE rear locker. They did also have a slightly taller coil than most other 4runner packages, but 15yrs later that's hardly noticed if at all. Toyota dropped the "Highlander" edition title, called it...

Good thing they tore up that hillside for a crappy photo. :/

That rig you just picked up is not a Sport, but a Highlander; pre-"Sport" sport... If that makes sense. CONGRATS!!
