I'd be lookin around $21900 or nearest offer. Talking in Canadian dollars as well.

Well, it's back to Oz, Darwin in particular and motoring around in the 75 series trayback. Makes the Tacoma a fine looking bit of lawn ornament. Parents don't want it so it's up for grabs. Here's the details: 2005 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Access cab 4.0L V6 BFG265/75R16 ATA's ARE CX canopy ARB...

As mentioned above a compressor and a tire plug kit can get you a long way. I'd also recommend a better jack. The OEM ones for Toyota are a pain if that's all you've got. They're great to be used in conjunction with a second jack but they usually involve way too much propping up or digging when...

I used to work just down the road from that lot. Even when driving my 75 series by the lot, I'd always be staring at the 40's in there.

Install of ARB Compressor So the morning that we were supposed to leave for a 2 week trip to the Yukon and the Dempster Highway, I decided I'd install the ARB Compressor that had arrived a week earlier. I got up at 7am and gathered together all my tools and headed out to the truck. I'd already...

Wow, that's a hardcore trip. Don't expect to get into much trouble like that. In the future with a few more mods or if I was crazy enough to ship the landcruiser across the pacific..... I'm hoping to do my best to post pics and have a few write-ups every couple of days of the trip.

Some more toys have arrived in the mail courtesy of Sierra Expeditions. It's cutting things close in terms of installation cause the truck is in BC til Sunday afternoon and I'm in Jasper. Hoping Sunday evening and Monday morning are productive. Otherwise, I'll be doing an install on the road...

A better look at the truck as of last week: And then after a trip to Calgary for the weekend: Looks like I'll have to update the sig line. It's an ARE CX canopy with a curbside windoor, regular sliding window on roadside and a fold-down front slider to allow for ease of cleaning.

Yeah, I back the Cowboys.... and the Maroons when it comes to the Toads vs. the Cockroaches. Spent most of the time in the NT but there seems to be an equal amount of Blues supporters so there's some great rivalries in the pubs come origin time. The missus is an Aussie so we may end up back...

Couple pics from a few years of camping Last year in jasper Last year in Chutes Provincial Park, near Espanola, Ontario And in 2007, Boggy Hole, Central Australia with the 'Cruiser

New toy arrived in the mail today A nice big, rectangular package arrived at the post office today. 20L Sceptor MFC complete with high volume nozzle. Should make an excellent addition to the truck for the Dempster Highway trip!

Thanks for that. I ended up finding a source for Sceptor jerry cans in an old thread on the forum. I'll see how it works out, but it seems that DS Tactical sells with no shipping costs (at least to Alberta) - they're based in BC and can't ship to our cousins in the south. The Sceptor cans can be...

New addition on order A little trip to Calgary on the weekend and it looks like another will be needed in a few weeks....when the ARE CX canopy arrives. Calgary Fleet Outfitters (Bay 101, 4528 6A ST, NE Calgary) gave me a really good quote and Barney, the owner/manager, was a real help and a...

Mostly to roads. Might do a few trails or forestry roads on the way back if we've got the time. Tire plug kit definitely would be an asset. Does Calgary have some good 4WD stores? I'm limited up here in Jasper to shopping online or the occasional trip to the big smoke, either east or south.

Hi everyone, I'm a long-time reader but first-time poster currently in Jasper, Alberta. I first got into expeditions with a Landcruiser in central Australia. Unfortunately, that rig is still in Oz so I've settled down here with a 2005 Tacoma. My finances haven't really matched my ambitions yet...
