Dang, much better than the 24v I have. I weigh more (how'd you get that weight so low?), have bigger tires and more lift though. All of which kill mileage. What really kills mileage is some turd stole the alternator, not going anywhere until that gets replaced or upgraded.

They'll seal adequately. Most places use a hole saw to port clamp holes in the liner. Probably the fastest way.

And then you need to pull the cab off your Fuso, mount it on the back of the Hino, and rename it the FuNo. And add another axle in the front, because you know you want an 8x8, and that Tatra is on the other coast. We could tow the frame back, but put a flatbed on it and call it a homebuilt...

Yeah, I've been watching it too. Price would have to come down quite a bit more, then it's got a couple of years to go to meet the 25 year rule, and it's a bit lightweight for RV use. Someone could have lots of fun with it though! I think Mog should buy it, yep, I do.

As has been said, get heavier axles under there with proper gearing, do some reinforcing, and whatever else you want. Then refuse to carry the items in your suburban that your buddies can't fit into their Cruisers....ahahahahahahh sweet revenge. Keep the burb.:coffee:

Dammit, I've gotta pay more attention. I would have liked to have made that AZ run too, closer than the other romps. Sigh.

I've had my '73 trailbreaker for a while now, and there are a few other members, including one guy here (he'll probably pop up sooner or later) with some really trick stuff. Anyway, they have their place, and I've had lots of desert fun on it. Like Stump says, there's actually a great network...

Dang, if you were local I would have already bought it. this'll be a great deal for someone. Thanks for the build list :D

Huh...was it flood damaged or something? Even though I have a hard time smelling concentrations of the stuff, try several applications of Febreze. They also make a heavy duty version for sports equipment, that might help you out too. I just pulled the trigger myself in preparation for an...

Tagged....I've had a Vista shell on my old Toyota for quite a few years. Just the basic model, but never had any problems. Carried a sea kayak and a surf ski, along with bike racks on top too. No cracking, and never had any issues with the "C-clamp" attachments.

Free bump, and a question: Ever have any difficulties traveling in Mexico and points south due to the color? Any hassles because it's a "military" color?

Not a stupid idea at all. I'll give them a call, but the few manufacturers that I've called in the past haven't liked the idea of selling used products. Worth a try though. Thanks.

LOL...see, they are out there! Ya scooped me! Yep, that's pretty much what I'm looking for, and like you say, we're looking at the same requirements. I'm thinking it's going to be the patience option. They're out there, just not common. Oh, and Bella - yep, I've seen that one on San Diego CL...

Well, I see Callens on CL all the time too - but a high one, for a full size, double rear doors and rack? Nope. I've also done, and continue to do the crazedlist, but Callen seems to be pretty SanDiegoCentric. I'm sure I'll find one, eventually. Thanks for the offer on the welder, but I'm...

Mythical.:sombrero: Got pics? I can't recall ever seeing a pop up on a Callen, but yeah, that might be ideal. Then again, Callen will do what the customer wants, within reason, just flip that wallet open. OTOH, durability would suffer a bit, likewise lifespan. Ah, decisions decisions. And...

What are these "socks" you speak of? I'm actually willing to deal with the height issues. Pop up is nice, but what about durability and lifespan? I was thinking that the steel framed, aluminum skinned systems would be the highest durability. Especially with height issues. Something that can...

Both of which are A: pricy as heck, and B: frikkin' impossible to find used in the models I'm interested in. Soooooooo...are there any other manufacturers that make similiar campers or shells? I'm actually looking for a relatively high shell, or a camper design that gives the owner the...

It's been flagged again......could just be anti-military folks, or maybe it's a wives coalition :sombrero:

Very cool find! I always liked the ARO's, looked like a tough little truck. Never saw one here in conus though. Thanks for posting that!

Subbins that's in my sig gets 11 mpg (towing 10k or so), 15-17mpg regular driving, tops of right around 21mpg babying it on the interstate. '99 F350 w/7.3 and AT, bone stock, around 16 in normal daily driving. Still haven't taken it on any long trips, but I'm betting it'll match the...
