Hello, looking at a 1982 300GD, 617 5cyl non turbo, 4spd. Really clean, about 130km / 80k miles. Found very minimal rust underneath, guy thought it was ex-military but I think it was just green in color, all civilian interior, 12v. 2 sets of 5 tires, new KO2's on it now, Extra set is a bit more...

I have a '03 4 Runner sport 4.7 V8 AWD. I have only had it 2 years, found it with 37,500 but with commuting it has something like 112K on it now. Unfortunately yesterday I got in an accident, both air bags deployed, the radiator and front nose took the hit but the frame is unscathed. I will have...

Great news, glad you changed your mind and are moving forward. whats your plan?

Nice truck, glad to see it being put to use.

Nice WJ, I have a 2000 with a 4'' RC lift. I just ran across IRO website last week and ordered the steering brace to try and add a little stability to mine. I wheeled it more when it was stock and being in the Army its been on nearly every tank trail I have run across. I towed way more then I...

Ok I am home now from overseas with the Army and enjoying being back home despite being very busy with the new house, contractors, ect. I found a M101 trailer frame for about $60 for my base. I wont start to strip it down until later this winter when I get the time. It was modified slightly for...

I like that style of utility bed but I had not seen one like in a quarter ton configuration. It would be the perfect size if I can locate one. I was thinking about making the side box a pullout but that guy was lucky enough to find one already setup with a pull and is perfect for his kitchen...

This is my current setup with the M101 as my base.

Hello everyone, I have the itch to build and I wanted to of course tap into the vast knowledge we have here and to discuses opinions and ideas. I want to build a fiberglass utility bed into a expo camper. Now I have been reading on other projects and I ran across one mention of a fiberglass...

I do belong to MJC, I am trying to think back now and I think I remember your Jeep. I am absolutely horrible with names (Army name tags work great for me!!). When did you work at the Camp?

This is amazing mainly for the fast that I work in Reisterstown (Camp Frettered, Westminster, MD) and live in Frederick when not deployed to middle east. This is the exact trip I have been loosely planning for when I come home and have leave before reporting back to duty. I am eagerly watching...

Here is mine last summer. I built the trailer pretty quickly so we could use it on a cross country adventure before I left for Iraq. It is a M101A2 trailer with a commercial ARE utility cap. I found a adjustable ladder rack and cut some angle iron to make footings to attach it. A RTT is mounted...

Davis Mothen Air Base Arizona?

I just read through your blog, sounds great. The gf and I are very interested in your adventure and wish you all the luck for a safe trip for you and Nacho!

I was searching around hoping to find this subject covered somewhere and if I missed it somewhere please point me in the right direction. I am not sure when a south of the border expedition is in the works as for now we are looking North towards Alaska and visiting family there and along the...
