Toyota-'97 FJ80 Land Cruiser
Nope don’t even try to argue with this one. Even you FJ40 freaks! The '97 Land Cruiser has got to be one of the best 4x4 packages that Toyota ever offered. The 4.5L engine was backed by a four-speed automatic transmission that gave decent power and a good amount of torque when needed. The FJ80 sported matching front and rear solid heavy-duty 9 1/2-inch ring gear axles with dropout-style third members that made it the most heavy-duty Toyota to date. And if that wasn't enough, how about the option of three different lockers? The transfer case is a full-time 4WD unit with a differential that locks up when in low range, and the axles, both front and rear, were offered with selectable lockers. And this was back in 1997! Where was the Rubicon then? The axles were slung via a radius arm and coil front, with a four-link and coil holding up the rear. In stock form or as a build platform, I think this'd be the Toyota I'd buy if I could fit this in the space taken up by my other two 4x4s .

The Pirelli Scorpion ATR has recently scooped up 1st place in the Australian 4x4 Action Magazine tyre test. Results were based on the scores awarded across a range of key areas including tyre balance, tyre noise, stopping distance, hill climbing ability, sand testing, swerve testing and a mud run.

The 4x4 Action Magazine had the following to say about the Pirelli Scorpion ATR "The Pirelli Scorpions were one of the most sure-footed tyres on the high-speed gravel swerve and hill climb legs of the test. The level of grip from the Scorpions allowed the Patrol to practically walk up the loose hill climb with very minimal wheel spin. Their traction on the downhill section of our test allowed us to bring the Patrol to a snail's pace whereas others simply slid down without grip".

Rope FactsBubba Rope® is a tougher kind of recovery rope developed from military specs for safely pulling off-road vehicles out of mud, sand or snow. It is the only snatch rope with a polymer coating.

• 100% double braided nylon rope
• Urethane Polymer coating
• Commercially spliced and seized at both ends
• Water proof, UV and abrasive resistant
• Highest breaking strengths available

Bubba Rope® has the strength and durability beyond typical recovery ropes, snatch straps and chains with all the kinetic characteristics of a superior snatch rope.

StretchNylon Double Braid is the preferred choice for applications requiring high strength with excellent shock absorbing properties.

Strength

• Lil’ Bubba - 1/2" diameter - 7,400 lbs
• Bubba - 7/8" diameter - 28,600 lbs
• Big Bubba - 1-1/4" diameter - 52,300 lbs
• Jumbo Bubba - 1-1/2" diameter - 74,000 lbs
• Extreme Bubba - 2" diameter - 131,500 lbs

Breaking strengths are determined in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500, test methods for Fiber Rope.

DurabilityDouble braid has good resistance to abrasion, sunlight and chemicals. However, with extended immersion in water, nylon ropes products will lose up to 10% of their strength.

With our polymer coating, Bubba Ropes extend the above positive properties ten fold and gives the added water resistance property to maintain specified breaking strengths.


QualityEach Bubba Rope is hand crafted and built in our factory in Tampa, Florida. The eyes or loops of ropes are specified to be longer and stronger than other recovery ropes. To add to the strength of the eye we use 50% more material in our splicing and add a strong seizing derived from actual Military specifications.

All ropes are dipped in a polymer base giving the ropes a protective covering and impregnating the nylon fibers, leaving them strong yet flexible.

All ropes are inspected before packaging and shipping.

Beware of Black Rope Fakes: black nylon double braid products are normally 10% below published specifications. - Cordage Institute 1500

Bubba Ropes are NOT made from black nylon double braid; instead they are white nylon fibers dipped in a polymer base that is dyed black. Therefore the breaking strength of a Bubba Rope is never compromised.

taximart have opened their own recovery division and their own mobile units are in the pipeline.
However the important part of the story is they are fast becoming our biggest customer in recovery equipment.
So a special thanks to Mark Lamberti (Chairman) , Rallph Josling, Bennie Havenga, Aadil Abdool and Clinton van Niekerk for making us part of the team.
