That is a very handsome truck. Good luck getting it ready for travel.

Yes; thank you.

Could you provide the dimensions of the crew box, please? Also, what's the horsepower rating on the DT466? Thanks in advance.

I appreciate the supportive response. I'm curious if changing my house around to accommodate an additional person would also elicit adverse comment. It was a one-person camper, soon it will be a two-person camper. Seems reasonable to me. Really fine work on your Alaskan, BTW. Bringing that...

Thanks, Paul.

OMG!! A Change in Plans I’d certainly admit that this report isn’t unusual. Stuff happens, and pretty much everyone’s project has changes in plans. Still, my project has certainly had more unexpected chenges than most. Here was the original plan: And here’s kind of what’s transpired...

Yep. Sums it up nicely. Expedition Portal and Me--Celebrating Ten Years of Friendship and Peer Pressure. :sombrero:

A very helpful thread, by the way. Thanks to the Crinklystarfish for the question and the research, and to the other posters for the helpful information.

Not to tell you anything you may already know, but they'll be a delay of a few more years (1994 + 25 = 2019) before Customs and Border Patrol will let the vehicle into the United States. (No worries for Canada.) And someone from California may chime in here to let you know if the state's...

Thanks for the photos and information. Very much appreciated.

Thanks. Hope all is going well with you and the family.

Well, that was cryptic. :sombrero: A good opportunity to send my best regards to you all, though.

Thanks for sharing all of the photos and information. Impressive progress. Congratulations, and best of luck with the remaining work.

Nice photos, Ken. I'm glad to hear that the trip went well. The Oregon Coast used to empty out a lot more in the fall than it has the past couple of years. We got to Cape Blanco State Park last Saturday at 4:00 and got one of the last 3 of the 67 sites in the park. I suspect the better fall...

Boy, that's a nimble-looking thing. Be great on the trail; the wheels are far-enough apart they'd have totally different traction conditions. One side might be stuck in the mud, but it might be totally dry where the other side's wheels are. What, do you have a prized collection of pictures of...

There probably should be a better place for this--and maybe there is--but you go with what you know . . . The 2015 AEV Wrangler--this one-- was found at Dennis Dillon Jeep in Caldwell, Idaho. I mention this because I had a really good experience with them and my salesperson, Ron Wurtz...

They make glues especially designed not to melt fopamboard. One example that is easy to get hold of is Loctite PL-300 http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/pl_ca_300_voc/overview/Loctite-PL-300-VOC-Foamboard-Adhesive.htm I've not used it personally, and slick aluminum isn't a routine mention in the...

Impressive in-depth analysis. :) There are some differences, the major one being that the one from Washington is supercharged. Most of the rest of the substantial list of farkles are bolt-on things that could be bought from the Quadratec catalog. FWIW, that asking price is less than 60% of...

Yep. That about sums it up. However, the tradeoff is, you may find, very often a good one. FWIW, I owned the uber-capable ex-Expeditions West Tacoma concurrent with a Sprinter. Sold the Tacoma, kept the Sprinter. It's not that you can't go any of the places you go in your Tacoma with a Sprinter...

Good luck with figuring this out. There are arguments for and against either, and you could--and maybe someone will--write an essay on how to make the decision. I'm only going to offer you three thoughts. The first is that even with the biggest gnarliest tires, these 4WD vans won't qualify as...
