    1990 Toyota Townace 4X4 Diesel Pop-Top

    It's MINDBOGGLING that anyone could think the photos are taken on New Years Day of ANY year. Lush green trees. Even after stating clearly on EBAY the questions about the date continued. EBAY I can see, but here? Good God, were you people born yesterday? Anyway, I have a deposit, will update...

    After a week on ebay it "sold" for $10,200...Quotes around sold, as you guessed it...deadbeat bidder, Following up on the usual after auction end emails right at the $10G figure i was looking for. I'm hoping it'll go, hoping to get the build on Oz's old rig going before I head to Expo East with...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    I'll post later in for sale, taking some new pics , she's going on Ebay...Spent some time detailing her (she is really cool) but as I just bought Oz's ambulance, it's time to thin the herd. Way more room inside than a Westy Synco, & way less money to buy & maintain. If anyone's interested let me...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    I was hoping to get some help from you guys on the suspension,(DT2's ???) not a whole lot of options in the US. Whoever built this thing put a LOT of time & money in it. He sold it to a kid who hauled a motorcycle on the rear hitch & just beat on it. The coilovers need refreshing,(i've cranked...

    FIRST TIME OUT E450 Ambulance

    No, I installed them.(see pic on pg1) They, as did much of the build, came out of a homebuilt truck camper. Poor man died before he finished it, so everything was still unused. Storm-Tite, they're in Canada. They specialize in bus/RV conversions.Nicest RV windows I've seen, dual pane & spendy...

    eBay 1993 Ford 4X4 ambulance 86K miles

    Good God... $18.5 somebody REALLY wanted it! Seller had to jumping for joy. At auction he probably got it for less than 1/4 of that! 2 more cents- "Cheesy decals" - I have those same Chevy decals on my rig. Ebay $9 for 2. A Ford Decal set from the dealer is 10X that. I'm not a lover of...

    Pics of your Ambulance. Post Up!

    Mine is similar to the above, but custom. A Draw-tite or similar would probably have to be modded/extended further under the frame. Mine has a 2nd 2x2 further back between the frame rails. The center receiver splits the rear one & anchors to the inner, so it is less likely to twist downward...

    Baby Got New Shoes! Toyo MT's 255/85/16... 8 of them! Seems like we should have our own heading. See ambulances all over the site. I put my not so detailed build in 'other custom' , but could we also be in 'domestic full size' , or here, or ....

    FIRST TIME OUT E450 Ambulance

    Baby got new shoes! Toyo MT's 255/85/16 8 of them! (& a winch) Also a satellite dish, self tracking, older but works good. A lady who upgraded gave it to me for installing a faucet in her rig. I don't like it up there on the roof, so it may come off later. Leaving for Alaska & northern...

    Stoked on my new HiAce

    Thanks, looks like both of ours will sit for a bit. might even sell mine...found it on CL when looking in Victoria for a 5th wheel. Couldn't resist... as for parts try Rocky Mountain in Victoria, BC. They import vehicles & parts from Japan all the time. Keep your chassis # handy (not VIN)...

    Stoked on my new HiAce

    Very nice. My '90 Town Ace gets 30 mpg with it's tiny 2C motor, and it's not as slow as I expected. Runs with the stock Westys, which is really what class it's in. Thought of adding a turbo from a newer model, but it's not just a manifold & exhaust. Tapping for water & oil lines & returns...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Yes, there you go! Wasn't even looking for this thing when I found it on CL. I tow/buy/sell RV's & trailers & a customer was looking for a Kodiak 5th wheel (built & sold in Canada) I was running searches & it popped up. A quick trip on the ferry from Port Angeles, in Victoria a couple of hours...

    FIRST TIME OUT E450 Ambulance

    Thanks. AC is in top of the old oxygen compartment, behind the driver. Where the silver vent is. It is a Kool Kat by Dometic, 10K BTU AC & heat pump. Pulled it out of a Coleman popup trailer years ago, sitting on my garage floor since. The only things on my roof are a stick on Unisolar panel...
