Experience combined with a little hope, and anticipation, that we get the flame just right results in meals near perfect every time. Almost. We won't talk about the burn't sin buns of 2020; I was practised with briquettes but brought hardwood charcoal that trip. Cheese biscuits in the Dutch...

I think I could travel remote over the PNW and far north for 300 days a year and would never see this vehicle. I'd bet on that. Though I did throw away 30 mins of my time and interest watching YouTube videos about the Trek LR. Thank JCliftonB [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Decals...

I understood you have an different stateside. These pics from 2002, multiple JDM's were common in my driveway. Some parts were off the shelf... Some were mailed in from Australia, arriving cheaper and faster than not in stock parts from a local shop. My favourite story is waiting for glow plugs...

Toyota fan boy here and I've imported, driven, JDM's for 30 years now. I vote Astro. I've done hundreds of thousand miles in jdm diesel Landcruisers and Delicas. Almost always had 2 JDMs at a time, because when you had to wait for parts I still had something to explore in. I've imported 6...

No, moved to Vancouver Island 2016. Current jdm is a less exciting Surf than the white HZJ73. Back in Whitehorse for work and travel this spring thou Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

Omg I believe an 80 series would be dream vehicle for the right new driver! Been importing vehicles from Japan for over 30 years. Biggest downside I believe is young passengers exiting the vehicle street side and not expecting the same direction travel, had a few close calls with teens in the...

Long time backroad Yukon and BC traveler, great advice here, my additional recommendation for a 4 Runner would be ball joint replacement, if they haven't been changed recently. Plan to change mine at 200,000 km's just preventivily. All about Haines vs Skagway is true, but both drives are...

Great idea and a new winch will have a wireless remote. You might have changed my mind on a winch, my house is 3 stories tall with 45 deg pitch, I've hired people for small job I could have done myself. I've had a portable winch for years, it takes up a lot of room in the landcrusier but was...

Just asking a friend about this, I'm not a camper guy but he takes his camper every year to hunt the Yukon backcountry. Driving to some of the most remote areas where he sees no one all week. He agreed that the gravel roads, in Alaska are well taken care of, since if they are not traveled...

Yes but oh boy I'd like to find out how that suspension and weight feel on backroads (for days on end 2). I don't carry as much but tried 3 sets of coil springs on my current older primarily backroad use Toyota

My old canoeing bear barrel is 60 liters and the larger of the bear barrels (bear vault brand) is 11.5 liters. I use the 11.5 for car travel and the smaller 7 L when we drive than hike in remote areas. Pictures below are from the early 2000s in a Mitsubishi Delica, we were camping from Bella...

We sleep in a 4Runner and bring along a bear vault for non perishables, our fridge is also always kept in the vehicle also. The bear vault container is handy because leaving non perishables outside for even a short time can attract the attention of something that wants a snack, from a determined...

Came back to this thread, after reading on Facebook of a 20 year old Dodge Caravan broke something metal in the front end that was replaced the same day recently - I know that van from when I lived downtown Whitehorse, it was at the Gold Rush like clockwork. That car drove the Dempster, return...

4Runner [emoji1787]. 8 years back hopped in a friend's Subaru instead of my bucket truck to Fort Macpherson, fun fast trip but wow what a nonstop beating that undercarriage took. Similar plans, retiring in a few years and what vehicle will we use for Canadian back road adventures. Neighbour is...

Mk116v brought up a good question. Early on wondered if the Ecodiesel would be used, than later on wondered if Toyota would want more suppliers for their own F33A. What other options would others consider? I've only had 2 straight 6 BMW engines, each for 12 & 15 years, as only a part timer...

It doesn't hurt to ask [emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

Truck looks great with 35"s, surprised no ones done so on Vancouver Island where a good number of new Colorados are around. Interested to hear driving impression of newest generation diesels compared to a 95 1HD Ft. I've only ever owned JDM diesels. Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

Lovely van. Grr I really dislike overseas shipping prices currently Sent from my SM-G981W using Tapatalk

A blistering 25 mph. Had 2 Delica's with the same engine, pulling a 16.5 foot aluminum boat I was the slowest one up many a mountain pass. Hard to believe the smaller camper version of this model, JB400, was built on the delivery spec Delica and didn't have a turbo. Have met a couple of...
