Just curious as to how one achieves this status. And would also like to congratulate Hammerheadfistpunch on his unlocking of achievements.

Thanks, I never get 80 bait...what a treat! As for as becoming mod status...it just happens as needed. I certainly didn't go asking for it. Same goes for being scoutmaster I guess.

I'd assume being active, friendly, and unbiased would play the biggest role. That or sexual favors for the other mods.

The shadows is the only proper place to mod. Keep up the excellent work there, I will try not to wreck the place if i can help it.

I know the "how," but not the "why." Any moderator has the power to assign someone mod status. But I'm not sure under what circumstances this would occur; I imagine it would happen if too many active moderators went inactive.

Actually, at some point in time they changed it to where only the owner could add new admins. So only Porsche can actually make the change.

There's no specific guide as to how we choose a new mod, and we only add mods when we feel when need an additional member. When we do decide to add a new mod to our Order we look for someone long, exemplary posting record, good leadership characteristics, positive interactions, and a reputation for being a helpful member of the Oppo community that other posters look up to and go to for advice. Then we take our selection of potential members and subject them to the initiation, the details of which I can't go into but I can tell you it includes defeating manbearpig in a fight to the death and being deemed worthy by our lord and savior Cthulhu. The survivors of this initiation become mods.

The Rover is repaired but getting sold ASAP, what do you recommend 80 or 100 series? Goal is general off-roading and overlanding on moderately difficult terrain, but a DD for my 5'2" 100lb wife. Gas mileage is no issue as her work is a mile from our home. I drove a 97 with the 6 cyl and it felt like an absolute dog when attempting to accelerate onto the highway or from a driveway onto a mainstreet. I have gotten very used to the serious amount of torque and grunt from my unreliable Rover.

the general consensus is that the 100 is the better overlanding choice and the 80 is the better off road choice. The 80 is a reliable beast of burden and it will serve you well day in day out for years so long as you know you aren't going to go fast and your mileage will suck. The 1fzfe is a fine engine in stock form and especially at low elevations. its flaws become apparent at elevation and with weight, especially towing. 100's are still high in price and the interiors on them are...horrible. Personal opinion. The other bummer is that you have to choose between a rear locker with the less powerful engine and 4 speed auto, or atrac only with the more powerful engine and 5 speed at. No front locker was offered. Also, if you do get the early cheaper models you will have to factor in a new front diff if you plan on lots of weight or towing as they are a 2 pinion unit and have a tendancy to flex away from the ring and break. The later years got a 3 pinion and are solid

Best best if you don't care about MPG and you want cheap is to get an early model 100 and replace the front diff with a locker.

He is the chosen one.

(I'm actually not entirely sure other than he already had a working relationship with the head of the Kinja implementation group. But he is rational and very hands off and allowed the rest of the mods to work as a committee. I don't know that we could have chosen a better leader had we tried.)

So he's somehow better than us just because he doesn't believe in spoons?

Manbearpig's tough, few survive him, and most who do are subsequently deemed "unworthy-yet-tasty" by Cthulhu.

Slee offroad is happy to help...for a price.

I inquired about a 2uz-fe conversion for my 80 series. $25,000 turn key!

Granted its CARB compliant and totally factory looking but still....25 grand!

plus donor truck and NOTHING else; no lift, bumpers, etc. That's a Toyota 2UZ-FE, the same engine thats in the 100, a few 4runners and the 1st gen tundra (also a ski boat...weird right?)

I would like to imagine that they hold secrect mod meetings in dimly lit rooms while wearing hooded robes and speaking a lost language. Then they vote on whether or not the mod candidate becomes a mod or not. At least that how it should be.

That engine is FAR too mild and weak, 230hp, meaning 180 at the wheels? And something like 250lbs-ft of torque, rawrrrgggg!!! TOYOTA, WHY YOU MAKE SUCH WEAK ASS BULLSHIT, RELIABLE, GLACIER-LY SLOW SUVs????!!!!!
