Nice work Lance! Given the situation, I think your options were to do exactly what you did the exact way you did it or to stabilize the hook in place and drive to San Felipe. I think one of the biggest assets was your fluent medical Spanish. The process of removal was all in all straight...

I'd think market would be about $1,000 to $1500. -H-

I was going to make my own pump mount using the reverse of the bracket in my pics... Scott...did you end up doing the install on the Troopy using the 3FE bracket? -H-

BTW...I ended up getting everything for a PS conversion out of OZ...not cheap, I think it ran me about $800 US including shipping. This was using the toyota ps design, rather than saginaw. Here are some pics of a LHD PS pump mount for a Toyota...RHD is just reversed to mount to the frame in...

From my old FJ45 Troopy: HTH -H-

I enjoyed The Falling Season. Makes me appreciate air support.... http://www.amazon.com/Falling-Season-Inside-Aspens-Mountain/dp/0898866332/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276014886&sr=1-1 Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon was co-written by a member of our SAR group...great read too...

Here are a couple of pics with the Toyo 35x13.5R15 tires...which were much too big IMHO. A lot of rubbing in tight turns, and while the 35" tires added a bit of highway speed (on the flats), it wasn't worth the weight....plus....how am I gonna find a replacement in Mexico for that size if I...

I need to do an update. I've been busy using it over the winter, but the National Luna dual battery system is excellent, and I just picked up a 60W Powerfilm folding solar panel and charge controller from Adventure Trailers, so that will be installed here pretty soon. No more need to run the...

O' my....:drool: -H-

Funny, I was just thinking about putting a troopy 70 series body on my 70's frame...with a little stretching of course.... That 79 is BEAUTIFUL! -H-

There are limited exceptions for off-road/mining and manufacturer uses, but yup....not gonna happen for a basic daily driver by a private person. I'm not saying there aren't grey market ones in the US...but those are subject to seizure if they're caught. -H-

Having driven the ARB Jeep pretty extensively, I can say one thing I was drooling over...and thinking about converting to the 70 series are these IPF lights. They're NICE! -H-

We all know you can't handle all that comfort and reliability....:elkgrin: Where's the adventure in that! -H- :smiley_drive:

Well...yes and no. The Safari top has drains that are supposed to allow water to flow down the rear of the top and drain to the outside of the snorkel; however, it doesn't catch all of it. OEM airboxes (most) have what is commonly known as the "tuna can" on the underside, which has a rubber...

I picked up an REI "kindercone" bag for my daughter (3yo.) and so far it's worked very well. Inexpensive too...around $60. -H-

Some folks add a filter to the end of the snorkel. IIRC K&N makes an oiled "cap" type unit that would fit to the end. I personally haven't liked this look, as the filter is outside the engine bay on the end of an otherwise good looking snorkel. http://www.knfilters.com/ You may try an find...

Rob nailed it. After long trips with lots of wind, my windward side shoulder is sore from pushing that handlebar into the wind, (steering the bike into the wind as well). You really need to ride conservatively, and be ready to react to a gust that, as others have said, can easily push you into...

Regardless of future vehicle purchases, I will likely always have an old, simple diesel, just for the reasons mentioned. -H-

OK, one more place to add to my next Utah trip! -H-

What a great honeymoon! Great to see you at Expo! -H-
