I found my SS water bottle is noisy. Bouncing around in the truck (no cup holders!) its a pain. the Nalgenes are quiet. Plus I can tell how much I have left without taking the top off. I get the SS ones at cost and still don't use them much.

Ah I see says the 40 series newbie! :D You have a very nice rig there by the way!

do you want push pull steering or cross over? An '85 will have a solid front axle and push pull box (just like an '85 4 runner in the states only on the other side!) once you get into '90 and up they are IFS and will have the box that alot of mini truck owners use for cross over steering (but...

try a couple of companies up here in Canada that sell JDM parts. like G&S cruiser parts and RADD cruisers. A toyota IFS box off a JDM surf should be fairly cheap as they are in the wreckers up here now (especially on the west coast)

I put something similar in an older subaru wagon. although it was struts all the way around. we made 1" strut spacers from alum. and bolted them in. had to get it realigned and it really maxed out the CV's at full droop.

the new Panasonic G1 looks promising as well.

Aren't they the same as the ones for quads (to mount on the racks) If so they are not new. I am thinking of putting one behind my spare on my rear swing out.

my sammy is the long wheel base version so I can pack alot. Like me, wife, kid and all our camping gear. When I had a shorty I could pack all our gear for a weekend in the back. I also had a roof rack box though. As for simple if you have an 8,10,12,14,17 metric wrenches it will take a sammy...

if you keep the tires stock or near stock the power will be fine. not uphill in 5th gear fine though unless the motor is like new. A header is really simple and helps some and a 2" or 2 1/4" exhaust really helps as well as the stock pee shooter exhaust is really restrictive. A cam really helps...

the '93 is fuel injected. you can help the power ALOT by adding a header, cam and bigger exhaust. Alsoif you swap to OME leaf springs the ride improves drastically. Or you can go to YJ leaves and leave it spring under. You will gain around 3" of lift but the springs ride better because they are...

I haven't looked under mine in a while but I would be more worried about the OSB floor than the frame! Mine has been lifted for a good 10 years and dragged over some nasty stuff and still in one piece but needs some work now.

me and my wife delivered a Miata from PNW to Nashville for a friend and then flew home. Was a great trip! More than enough room for two backpacks although we did motel it each night as it was March! I loved the days we could drop the top and fly down some twisty sideroads.

I wouldn't think so I have seen lots of colorado's with slide in campers on them up here.

sounds cool! I had an '89 that used to be my dads and it had over 500,000 kms on it! it had the crappy 5 spd but it got 21-22 mpg (2wd) regularily and got mid teens flat towing a jeep to Rubicon. We had an extra tank plumbed in the back that gave us around a 1500 km range. I love the original...

there are two types of sat receivers. one that is in your deck (hence the install cost) and the portable one that mounts on your window. The wires from the portabel one drive me nutz! cig plug, wire to the sat on the roof and a ant wire to the back of the radio. My next radio is going to be...

I have had sirius for 2 years and its been great. Sports is good. I still flip on the local radio station for the local news once in a while. Right now the AC/DC channel is ROCKIN! :D :bowdown:

having the electric motors at the wheels eliminates alot of complexity in that there is no tcase/driveshafts/diff and gets rid of some mechanical drag. the closer the motor is to the end use the better. And to those wondering why there is no tcase low range... it wouldn't need it. max torque at...

there is a travel all for sale here locally (minus the raised roof!) and all I can think of is cummins drivetrain! its HUGE inside!

I guess but slide in campers made by bigfoot and others have the same construction and 4 point mounting and don't seem to have much of a problem in truck beds that twist alot

thats pretty cool! Nice CAD work as well you even got the wood grain in there!
