He mentions "BIS in Alaska" in his initial post.

Those Northstar's always look like a mansion compared to my FWC!

I'd love this thing in my garage! Random question, you mention Toyo tires 2x but in the picture, those are Yokohama MT's (I have them on my Land Cruiser, great tire!). Are the pictures old or did you just type in Toyo instead of Yokohama? Also, you mention custom built Black Rhino wheels --...

Its unfortunately dead over there now. Was a great place in the early 2000s though.

Good luck with sale! I've always enjoyed your pics over on BN forum through the years!

es muy macho!

Doesn't surprise me. I don't think a lot of people advertise their engine is burning oil, so probably more common than I think. That being said, my 80 series land cruiser drinks oil like there's no tomorrow but runs great and passes smog... :D

A full quart every 1k is a bit excessive, yes. I'd move on. FWIW, my 2001 V10 w/ original 230k does not burn or leak any oil I can measure between changes. They changed to a newer Power Improved head/intake in 2003, then introduced the 3V in 2005+ years. However, all Econoline's received the...

I air down to 20 and its really not that bad. I do often dream of doing the drive in a lighter rig with...

In what context? Hwy 5 was historically known for car jackings for years. A group of surfers were carjacked and left in the middle of the desert north of Gonzaga Bay just 2 summers ago! In reality, the highways are way more dangerous in general. Much higher risk of injury or death driving those...

6.8L V10 or 5.4 V8?

Looks exactly like my camper but 1000x cleaner!

I think you forgot to post the odometer reading....

Where are you located?
