That is funny, it looks like it got dizzy and passed out!

:coffeedrink: This is fun! Might I again direct the attention to post 9:

Lets, for the sake of argument, say that somebody is sitting in a call center in India, but nobody calls because of let's say the economic crisis. Then let's say, again for the sake of argument, that that person has found a new hobby, pissing people off on the internet. With a lot of time on...

Exactly!

Go for it! I have e few reasons to say so, first of all I took a good long hard look at the pics, and it doesn't seem so bad. There's a lot of growth on it (Do you call it algie?) which would clean right up with some industrial soap and a pressure washer/steam cleaner (NOT the domestic "clean...

As an outsider reading this thread it makes me sad to see what it has developed in to. An innocent question "Would you all who have G-wagons rate the reliabilty better than a Land Cruiser?"(#12) has turned this in to something ugly. Gurkha, YOU are the main flamer, you started this, and...

Hi First of all before I go in to this subject I think my own experiences with the vehicles discussed must be mentioned. I have owned Landcruisers (HJ60 and KZJ70) and driven others (BJ42, LJ70, HDJ80, VX90) plus various hiluxes etc. And being a former sergeant in the Danish army I have driven...

I just love pics of Marmaduke! On the winch issue there where also factory Toyota electric winches. I have two. Once I got seriously stuck in mud, all wheels buried so deep they where totally invisible. It took 3 Nissan Patrols and 1 Volvo C303 before there where enough ground anchor to pull me...

i have seen crazier projects (im mid-build in one) So I say go for it! One the whole drivetrain issue i had some of the same problems. Some minitrucks uses the R150F or the R151F gearbox. Both comes with pass. side output. those boxes can handle the power, trhey were used in the 80 as well. I...

Great that you decided on trailer too! I've heard about them, but never seen one. I have a friend who has a 1981 C202 standing at my shop and we have a TGB13, so, as you know, I have some interest in the Volvo's. I'm looking forward to seing your build-up!

I think it's impressing! It would be even more impressing on this side of the Atlantic! What tires are those?

No it isn't, it's a collaboration between Mercedes and VW and has been for years. The old model was too. Major components in bodywork etc. is shared but each run their own engines, interiors etc.

Scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow? Bridgekeeper: Huh? I-- I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh! Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows? Arthur: Well, you...

Bump! I have noticed that some used tire shops in the US has the elusive Michelin XZL 11.00/R16. One is Gays Tire service... Does anybody have any experience with such places or/and an idea about price? And I cannot find out what shipping would cost... I knop UPS/fedex etc. is way too...

Hi All Well, we have moved ahead and are installing the 1KZ-T engine as we speak! I removed the roof and cab and took out the Volvo driveline. Fitting the 1KZ-T was like stuffing a chicken with a turkey! (I exaggerate, qactually it's bot that bad). I have lined it up so the crank pulley is in...

Hi It looks like a good project! co-incidently I have logged many hours in a MAN 8 as a sergeant i the Danish army! :smiley_drive: -And looking at your homepage I see a Volvo TGB13, my girlfriend and I are building one for expedition use. Two rather rare coincidences on an American forum...

Good to hear that you had the glasses on! I remember a friend of mine, a proffesional body-repair guy (a four-year education here) who took a normal cutting disc, just like yours, and put it in an air-powered grinder. The electric versions run at about 10.000 rpm, while the airpowered run at...

Yikes! Well it's good to have a reminder of how dangerous the tools we use almost daily can be. I can also see the safety goggles are securely on the forehead. I doo the same thing, and I know its stupid. I hope you consider yourself lucky that it didn't damage the tendons or hit your face. I...

Hey I found this one, just to show how much force there is in a shackle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR22oP1WRtY&feature=related just imagine how force it takes to embed a shackle in a tire!

Sorry, but I have to say that you jus don't get it. First of all, it is not Jeep who makes the dinky little car, it's a Fiat. Rebadging it is not something that will happen, but a consultancy agency's idea of what might happen, not a week after Fiat have taken over Chrysler. It cannot be taken...
