Well, I guess I'm a little biased. But I get a little irritated with the Lloyd criticizers. When it came to research and development for our rigs, the guy was willing to put his money where his mouth is and get things done. The guy contributed quite a lot to our small community, some of which some guys here, including myself, are reaping the benefits from. This seems to be forgotten.
Lloyd was the one who sent his T-case to Australia in order to get the research and development done for the gears we now have available for our rigs. this was after he had also sent cases to terraflex and calmini, who both told him it could not be done..
Its possible that without Lloyd's efforts in AU and testing that ARB would have never never produced the RD-110 front locker. I think someone here still has has his front Detroit that was custom machined in AU. I think Misterbishi would have a little more on that. There are still guys here sporting the Lloyd designed bumpers on their rigs as well.
So yea the guy loved the Montero almost to a fault, but his passion for these rigs helped a lot of us out at the same time. Hopefully some of you guys wont forget that as the years go by. Lloyd contributed more than most of us have to improving these rigs.
I've wheeled with quite a few people from this board all good folks, but if I had to pick one guy to wheel with I'd have to say it would be Lloyd. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
