The 'coolness' factor, as in "WOW, that's cool!!" is maxing out the meter! I was expecting you had to pump it a bunch of times so when I first watched the video I thought something was wrong and they hadn't shown the whole thing. I'm not sure how practical it is. How hard is it to start a fire...

Wow, what a professional job, very well done! Not for me though, I need some windows.

Enjoy your new ride, hope it works good for you. I didn't know what AHC was so had to do a search to find out. In so doing, I found this article which may be a help to you if you ever have problems. http://www.activesuspensionsystems.com/lelx470susy.html It says the whole system costs about...

Jamie, Does Boyle Future Tech do only Toyota or will they do any alternater (I have an Isuzu NPR). Mine is only an 80 amp where the newer ones are 110. Thanks, Vic

So did you get everything ready for your Christmas trip? How did it go? I just bought my truck camper today, although I won't get to see it for 2 months yet. It is waiting for me in Florida, along with my truck. Now that I have the camper, I can get actual measurements and start planning how to...

Thanks, Tom and able. I just bought a truck camper today, a used Shadow Cruiser for $1500, will be putting that on the back of my NPR. I'll be starting a build thread here with you Mitsubishi guys soon. able - do you have a build thread yet? Would love to see your progress. I have sat in a...

I have a camper! Just talked to my cousin and they were loading MY camper on his truck to take it to his place. :wings: I was going to wait until I got back to start a build thread, but I'm having trouble waiting now. So..., I will probably start that soon, but I will be doing it on the...

Back in July (winter here) of this year, I was stuck in a small village here in Peru because the road home was buried under about 3 feet of snow. After the first few tries, and running into the snow at 14,000 feet, and went back down lower to wait for more snow to melt. The last day I drove up...

I found another Shadow Cruiser truck camper on Craigslist in Fort Meyers, FL about 5 days ago, the pics looked good but only two small one that really didn't show much. The price was $1800 and I don't want to spend more than $1500. I decided to wait until after Christmas and see if the price...

OK, I had pretty well decided the the TW200 was the best option, but finally checked out the XT225 as well - Looks nice and it really tempting - but I really like the looks of the fat tired TW200! Will have lots of fun checking them out when I get back. Hopefully have found a good truck camper...

Would have made a nice Christmas present for myself, but it is about twice the price I want to pay! A beautiful 2008 Honda CRF-230L with 1250 miles for $2950...

Safari Trek motorhome with Isuzu NPR chassis Not ExPo vehicles but I thought it was interesting. I just found out that there used to be a motorhome built on the Isuzu NPR chassis, called the Safari Trek, a Monaco Motorcoach brand. From what I have read the last year they were made was in 1994...

Been spending way too much time using jaxed search, really has been helpful, thanks Dennis. Thought I had a good deal on the one in Fort Meyers, but he sold it to someone else. There are a couple more of interest but a bit farther away, so will keep looking.

I had seen this site before but couldn't remember what the URL was, just found it now on the Uhauler thread. http://www.truckconversion.net/ It's all about big truck conversions, including class 8. Their home page: What is a Truck Conversion? Truck Conversions are built on a commercial...

Just did a search and didn't find anything about this here so will post it - I think it qualifies as an expedition! "Roei "Jinji" Sadan, 27, with his bright red beard and easy, raspy laugh, may not seem like Israel's most likely ambassador to small Andean villages in Peru or tribal chiefs in...

From one geezer to another - Thanks but want something more road worthy and freeway usable when needed. I don't think my old bike would every forgive me if I went down to a 90 or 110!! Although it was NO good in the dirt, which I proved on a couple of camping trips. 1981 Honda CBX, 1,100cc...

I have had to replace the front suspension bushings on my Delica twice, and I think they are bad again (in less than 3,000 km this time). I figured it was just the poorly fabricated parts here - can't get originals. Also on the brakes, there are shops that rebuild the shoes and pads, can't buy...

There is a huge market and business in selling used Japanese cars and trucks here in Peru. Importers buy them from Japan, convert them to left hand drive here and then sell them. Most dealers will not stock or sell parts for them, because those sales cut into their new vehicle sales. I have had...

That NX250 looks really nice! Thanks for the suggestions. Will check them out when I get back to the U.S.

Thanks for the info, Phil. It's been about 2 1/2 years since the glow plugs were changed, but they seem to be OK. Before they were changed, in 15-20 deg. C weather, it would start but run real rough until it got warmed up. I think they said two were bad. Now at 15 deg. it starts fine, but...
