I didn’t get to the quote stage yet, but I saw a Reddit post stating a little over $4 k installed. Doesn’t specify which top though.

After exchanging emails with Mory, I'm not sure their aerodynamic "Condor" high top would give me full standing height where I plan to build the kitchen galley. I'm still looking for a van, so I'm getting way ahead of myself, but noting my options while I'm randomly thinking about them in case...

I have been researching them as well because Wasatch and Fiberine are just so dang far away from me. Mory isn't exactly close, but I have family in Vermont and a couple company offices along the way that I could possibly use to break up my trip. Anyway, I've only found one Redditor, who spoke...

My triple-locked supercharged 80 series is up for sale on BringaTrailer! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-toyota-land-cruiser-fzj80-216/ This 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary is powered by a 4.5L inline-six fitted with a TRD supercharger and linked with a four-speed automatic...

Looking up the skirt after a fresh Brazilian wax:

Very nice! This one is on my wishlist... although my search for a van continues, which is obviously first on the list. Seat upgrades with passenger swivel and an overall cab refresh are high on my priority list for post-purchase build, and I've been fantasizing about finding a recently wrecked...

Any opinions on whether this would be too much rust for a 2018? I have an opinion, but I could use a sanity check as I'm new to these rigs and haven't shopped before for vehicles that spent any time outside the sunbelt Also, @86scotty, as resident fleet expert, are there any years that the...

Thank you! That window height measurement gives me a little more confidence that I could make the regular wheelbase work for me. The other consideration that I didn't mention in favor of the shorter wheelbase is my parking situation. My garage won't fit even a stock van, so I'll generally be...

Thanks gentlemen! I saw the AWD van, but after test driving an extended Ford with no passenger windows in Charlotte traffic, I decided that the passenger version was going to be the right match for me. It's a shame that they only sold AWD on the 1500, because I think a theoretical 2500 AWD with...

Just off NC-105/Kistler "Highway" overlooking Linville Gorge in North Carolina: Shenandoah National Park, home of the largest collection of children throwing temper tantrums in the middle of a hiking trail:

After initially leaning towards a Ford E-Series, I'm casually shopping for an Express/Savana passenger van while I sell my Land Cruiser. I've been struggling with an internal debate about whether to target a regular or extended wheelbase, and curious if the experienced owners could share their...

I always wondered if somebody could build a cab over out of an ambulance. Eat your heart out, Earthroamer!

Have you seen the new poptop that Wasatch is selling? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI10CFouHs3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I recently decided I didn't use my 80 series enough. I went on a couple of backroad trips over the last year, but I realized my favorite parts of the trips were getting out to hike or paddle, and I found myself hesitant to drive 100-120 miles up to the mountains with the MPG of an 80 series...

Random question for you. I'm thinking about buying an Express/Savana passenger van for a weekend adventure basecamp rig. I am unsure if I want to go for the slightly more nimble regular wheelbase or the more spacious extended wheelbase. More specifically, I am struggling to figure out exactly...
