    So, you want a 4x4 sand rail?

    It's like a mini SMB...

    the mitsu delicas are not that mini. more like toyota van or mazda MPV size. Very popular up here for the surfers etc. seem fairly tough but also seen alot of them wrecked in the junkyard due to novice RHD drivers.

    Apple Tablet: iPad

    Think of it as an oversized Ipod touch/ ebook reader with a few extra capabilities. Nothing more. If it delivers more its a bonus

    Alternatives to iPad

    compared to the ipads 12 hours the slates 5 hours looks pretty dismal! If it can't make it through an 8 hour work day of continual use then its going to lose allot of appeal.

    Would like your thoughts and ideas...Roadtrek

    sounds like a nice rig. Does the dodge van have coil springs in the front? you could fit some spring spacers up front and a lift block in the back and some bigger tires will get you most places you would want to take a van. Also consider looking underneath and skidplating anything low hanging...

    Death of the 6 speed!

    with all the new crap on the new diesels I would stay away from any new diesel truck motor right now. I would be buying a 2005 or 2006 truck (dodge with 6 spd) and work on getting it in like new condition. My sis in law works for a ford dealer here in town and they have sold very few diesel...

    Our "new" Tiger...

    for your back seats I would leave the original fabric on the cushons and have the new fabric made like slip covers with velcrow attachements down one side so they can easily be pulled off for cleaning. This is what we did on our little trailer we have and its great for cleaning. Oh and make sure...
