I have Duratracs in 32" and 35" on my rigs. They have never felt squirmy nor been loud.

I've used a Websato coolant heater in my truck for years. It is the best accessory you will ever buy. Heat anywhere, anytime, any temperature in 15 minutes. Along with a remote starter, I can't imagine being without it, when winter gets serious. New ones have dropped in price lately as well.

A Defender roof has no strength. You need a roll cage.

The TrXus is a really nice all around tire. Good at pretty much everything. There were some quality control problem and I'm not sure where that sits right now as they had a big change in manufacturing last year. Iran them for years and was really pleased with them.

More like 20 years.

Sure. all the Coleman stove will burn gasoline fine. Coleman fuel is simply gasoline without additives.

There are special spray adhesives for gluing foam mat. It never comes off.

I do find it interesting, he does actually find reliability differences with the Toyota. I was in a club in Australia for a few years that had all makes involved. About half were Toys, 1/4 LRs and the rest "others". The highest amount of breakdowns was with the Toyotas. This was more to do...

Sorry? You can't find gasoline in Central and South America? The Coleman stove will run fine on normal gasoline. It is the best choice IMO.

You are pretty much screwed on finding "good" winter tires in the 18 or 19" sizes unfortunately at least in my opinion. Your only real choice are Pirellis and they are no better than an all season in my experience with them. You can modify the brakes to the V6 spec to accept 17" wheels. You...

Well something is not right then. Either a weak starter or a bad cable connection.

Or a new battery? I cold started my 2.5NA at -40 successfully, so the starter should have enough grunt to turn it over well enough. I would do a glue on pan heater. Gregg Distributors has a nice selection that fit well.

As a comparison, my 200TDI has been getting around 3 ppm of wear metals per 1000 km. You are showing around 20. I'm not sure if you know, but you can get the oil analysis done locally. Finning is quick and easy and has a nice tracking system.

Ouch. Those are high wear numbers. Hopefully the different oil helps.

This is an open forum. It exists to give opinions. If you don't like them, that is cool. But you can't control what people say. We do have a lot of off road experience and perhaps with an open mind, you could learn something you did not know...

I've never seen a need. The boxes are above the bottom of the frame. I've never seen anyone damage one. It is not like a Jeep where they hang down low.

You could also cover the hinge in a water proof fabric on the outside before assembly.

Only in the USA... Up hear in the great white north it seems most people are getting the diesel version of the SUVs that have a diesel option. They drive nicer and use less fuel and people see that. The other problem in the States, is diesel is taxed higher than gasoline.

The 265 LR C Duratracs will be the best choice for your use and location.
