What's your favorite thing about your rig?

[TRD270]

That it's currently paid for, and will go up anything I point it at. (I should say anything i'm brave enough to point it at)

Also that it will pay for some nice upgrades on the incoming JK when it sells

Which rig? I like the 8-way comfy power seats in the Jeep, the efficiency of our tow rig, the quietness of my wife's Mazda3, and the fun factor of the Miata.

I love that I am only into my buggy about $2000, even with my new 39" Iroks and H1's with inserts.

The thing I love about my buggy (and the last one) is that I feel like that 13 year old kid driving my dad's sandrail for the first time every time I get into it. The driving skills haven't changed much either.

 

[mesha]

the buggy= I dont like it.
The JK=I like the family aspect of it and the comfort for long camping trips. It wheels great too. 4 doors
The Willys= my first car
The J10=It has been in the family since new in 1979. I start it up after years of sitting and it runs great and passes emissions every time. It is mostly original. SO many good memories.

I have always liked that it has parts from so many different vehicles two Reo trucks for the front axles that I purchased in 1986 from a guy who was opgrading his dodge monster truck to 5 tons. drivelines from a super duty. brake calipers from a honda rotors from a Buick. Pedal assembly from my old sand car. Steering column and orbital valve from a forklift. passenger seats from two 87 turbo t birds. 78 F 250 frame rails. F 350 transmission. H1 wheels. Gm 1 wire alternator. Gm style h.e.i. distributor. Aluminum radiator from an 1/8 mile Chevelle drag car. Header collectors from my friends 10 second Camaro . motor from an old Lincoln. Then it gets weird Model T style rear suspension built with a bulldog hitch and a top link for a Tracktor three point hitch for a track bar. Inverted three link front suspension also built with a bulldog hitch scout leaf spring bushings and F 150 radious arm bushings. Floorboards/firewall made out of my wifes old washer and dryer Rear floorboard made out of plywood. The shifter is a piece of 1 inch p.v.c. and two hose clamps. You dont have to be rich or in debt to have fun just creative and not afraid to be laughed at I am a little reluctant to post this but I swear it has never left me stranded or broken down. Somebody could write a song about this load of scrap metal that I call the mombo buggy like the Caddy in the johnny cash song.

I forgot about the ford motor home rear shocks and 64 chevy truck rear coils. The front coils spent some time on an early Bronco that got parted out and the front shocks I bought used because they were to long for a guys jeep. And this summer I plan to install a 1999 fiberglass mustang hood. I has been a dream of mine since childhood to build my own unique vehicles from scratch and this is my favorite one so far! Is there such a thing as a rat rod truggy?

FJ40
Other than all the normal and obvious reasons people love 40's my favorite thing about mine is that old timers love to chat with me about it wherever I go. This happens all the time and they're always surprised the original 2F is still pushing it around. My wife loves it too and that helps a lot. Simple, stout, and reliable.


Tacoma
4 doors, 4x4, and a rear locker. More than capable for my family and offroad needs in stock form. (that's because if it's too rough i'll take the 40)

 

[RockChucker]

def heated seats and rear steer...
The heaters let me and my guests enjoy the trail in uncomfortably cold situations.
The rear steer adds a whole new dynamic to any trail.

What heaters do you have? I've had my eye on some corbeau heaters but can't decide yet....

I like how my Jeep is a total mutt. LS motor, ford d60 u rear end and a custom front 60 using stock Chevy length shafts. It wheels pretty good too...

 

[N8RB8R]

The chicks dig it!

 

[Rot Box]

91 F350: The indirect-injected turbo diesel is my favorite part. Power to spare, stupid simple design and fuel capacity (without jerry cans and such) provides ≥ 450 miles between fill ups. For me that really adds to the fun factor when out exploring.

100 series: Front, center and rear selectable lockers. So many options I get confused sometimes lol.

 

[DaveB]

My rigs:
The stock ones:
02 WJ comfy, lots of power, good mileage, great for long trips.
85 K30 will tow anything, 502 flies up the hills and drives the new truck drivers crazy when I pass them towing a boat, and it helps support the oil companies.
The hand made ones:
73 Commando goes wherever I point it, fun to drive, unique, also supports the oil companies.
84 CJ8 very capable, great for exploring, gets good mileage, and its cool.

 

[Unimog]

07 Suburban - Rides like a car, pretty good mileage for a v8
84 416 Unimog - unique, quite capable for a 10k lb basically stock machine

You are correct Corbeau seat heaters that come with dual HI - Lo switch and harness (Call Tyler at Rollover Motorsports for corbea Products (801) 674-5818 consider seat covers as well as decent acc. for an open aired rig)

We no longer sell Corbeau, They are the most horrible company to deal with ever we dropped them like its hot.....

very cool and half the price... Keep us informed on how they do!

 

[airmanwilliams]

This isnt the seller I bought them from but the product is the exact same and I think I paid $60 for 4 pads. Although it does seem cheap up front it will cost me dearly with the wife later when she reupholsters the 2 front seats :sick:
