    Toyota International Hilux

    be careful with the 2ltE they are notorious for having head gasket problems. Alot of the hilux Surfs(4runner) that were imported are having this problems with a $2-3,000 fix for a new head! Starting in '93 they started to come with the next series of diesels the 3KZ (I think thats what its...

    Expedition camper built on an Oskosh airport fire truck

    thats from victoria here. the guy is some designer and his house is just as wierd. it is a very odd looking truck when you see it in person. They left for their big trip and didn't even make it out of town and someone cut them off and he ditched it and needed to fix some stuff! He also brought...

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    check out page 2 of this thread! Its the only pic I have right now. It does have the 33x10.590 swamper radials on it now and will hopefully be out of the shop in a month or so looking in better shape.

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    Once they reach 25 years old you can bring them in. so your up to 1984 right now. Jeff. Our LWB's look remarkably similar!

    Compact DSLR: Olympus 420

    I was looking at both the G1 and the 420 the other day and the G1 wins in my eyes. its smaller and I have been really impressed with my other panasonic camera. I had an Olympus long zoom camera for a while but it was not up to par with the panny fz28 we have. Having used removable lens cameras...

    Driving with Kid's...Options???

    ya our kid loved his 5 points! When I take the seat out to clean I strap him in and hold him upside down. He loves it and gives me a chance to check its function! :D. Although now he can stand up and walk around with it strapped to his butt. funny!

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    haha thats things cool! I can only imagine how gutless it would be though. 4rescue: the tops for a LWB are hard to find. but used hardtops do come up for sale everyonece in a while. No source for new though. I looked at the diesel converision but just can't justufy the cost. It would be around...

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    haha ya I ditched it around 6 months ago. it was my faithful daily driver for 3 years even in its lifted state it did 120 kms per day commute! We got a screamin deal on an XL7 so I did not need it anymore. Oh as for the cold weather... I have an insulated hardtop as well! Hopefully in a month...

    http://bb.bc4x4.com/showthread.php?t=137002 saw this locally. the '83 can be imported into the states no problem and the '84 will be soon depending on the build date.(could be already) the 5 door seems like a really good deal.

    Suzuki Owners; Let's see your ExPo Trucks

    nice rigs everyone! Man I wish our sammy's were as clean as Seth's! Heres my '86 LWB sammy. Currently it is undergoing a rust removal process which means rocker replacement, real wheel arches, new front fenders, windshield frame and some other patches here and there. Its got toy axles and a...

    Gama-Goat find on CL

    theres a company in BC here that uses Gamma Goat axles and suspension and puts them under your 4x4 (Landcruiser, jeep, etc) to make a ************** snow machine. Gebby Wagner has a jeep on 44's that he drove down to Fourwheelers top truck challenge, won the whole thing then drove home! I agree on the...

    Usa 8x8

    thats pretty neat. Although IROCS would not be my first tire choice for an overlanding rig like this.

    Garmin Nuvi 500 preloaded with Topo and City

    I would say the only advanctage of the 60 series is portability. If you do lots of hiking the 500 series is not good. for the rig a 500 will be easier to see and use.

    deep snow tires

    that tire would work good for hard compact snow. around my area the snow is wet and icy and once it gets deep those yoko's would pack into a solid ice slick! Obviously different snow requires different tires I guess!

    deep snow tires

    irocs and baja claws seem to be the choice for snow blasting up here. I have not found bfg mud terrains that good for the deep stuff. I have tall 33x10.50 smaper radials on my samurai now. so If I air them down to 3-4 psi I should be good in the snow! :D
