    A new to us 1997 Toyota HZJ80R Landcruiser

    Winch Fairlead Poll

    I should make a correction, I meant Slee Off Road not Viking Off Road in the above statement. Well after contacting all three vendors, it looks like Master Pull has the proper off set for my needs with the Ramsey MPF-400. I've placed my order and will report back once it arrives and gets...

    Impressions of the AT Teardrop

    Shelter from the elements during cooking. Graham and Connie thanks for the feedback. Martyn, I believe the key to the awning would be speed of deployment. Could you do something like the Hannibal where you don't have to deal with additional poles, pegs and ropes? I'm sure you guys are all...

    Winch Fairlead Poll

    Reviving an old thread. Experiencing deja vue! This past weekend I installed a Warn winch 9.5XP complete with synthetic line on a TJM winch compatible 80 Series Landcruiser steel bull bar. Funny enough I've encountered the same alignment issue between the roller fairlead supplied by Warn and...

    Drifta Kitchen might be coming here

    Drifta kitchens We've recently rented a Trackabout Camper Trailer for a 5 day trip and it came with a Drifta kitchen. The bad news is that we liked so much that the thought of buying a camper trailer has crossed our minds on more than one occasion now. The good news is that this Drifta is a...

    80 Series - Roof load capacity

    Roof rack capacity. Thanks for all the replies! All I can say about that 80 with the water on the roof rack :Wow1: I was certain that the 80 can handle a significant load on the roof but as with everything this comes at a compromise to vehicle stability and handling. I was just completely...

    80 Series - Roof load capacity

    To the ExPo Landcruiser experts, unfortunately I've had to move to an ARB roof rack for two upcoming trips. I picked up a used ARB 73" x 49" roof rack last night at a decent price (compliments of eBay). Anyhow, I could not believe how heavy this thing was. Not sure of exact weight but I'd...
