Well done.

Kurt - super writeup. Thanks for that!

Excellent work!

One of the many joys of living in the high country is no emissions inspections, so just have to adhere to the 25 year rule, which is based on date of manufacture. So 1990s manufactured in late 89 will be eligible soon. I guess an 89 would be importable now. Hmmm.

1990 Doublecab Hilux 3L diesel 4x4. Soon eligible for import to US. Why? Diesel, solid axle, simple, cheap, and room for four.

Bump for price drop $675. Will consider delivery in/near Colorado. I needed a larger rack. I went with a Frontrunner. The quality of the ARB is far superior - especially the mounting brackets.

Jim - welcome to the neighborhood! Yes, they do have a big boneyard. All kinds of 40s, 55s, 60s, a few 80s and some pickups. They definitely need to up their web game - that website looks like it is from 1995.

Classic Cruisers is local to me. Let me know if I can inspect a part or cruiser for you. No affiliation.

4runner for better MPGs unless you need space.

I would still recommend going over 550 from Durango-Silverton-Ouray on your way to Moab (or the opposite). It is spectacular and even more so covered in snow. It won't matter that you can't do any offroading there. From Durango take US160 east back to Walsenburg and then Clayton NM and then to...

I believe some first generation Foresters had the DOHC motor. Fine motor, but a bit more difficult to work on (setting valve clearance) than later SOHC motor. I've had multiple 2.5 Subarus in the family. All have needed headgaskets. Can be done in car, but actually easier to pull the motor. My...

Exped SynMat UL7. http://www.rei.com/product/811907/exped-synmat-ul-7-air-pad Super comfy but packs light and small.

Great to see more confirmation!

Bump for price drop $700

100 series Cruiser and a set of good all-terrains and call it a day. When/if you sell a few years down the road it will likely depreciate less than any of the other choices.

Gordon and Maverick - thanks for the comments. I've had the hi-lift mounted on the swing out. Last time I tried to use it a pin was frozen. Same thing the time before that. I'm thinking that moving it inside - at least the ratcheting part - might keep it in better shape. But I'm still...

I have a Propex in my Vanagon. Multiple zero degree (F) nights (-17C) every winter. Works great but a little loud. ($600-$800). Got mine from Karl at http://www.westyventures.com/propex.html . Wood stove in a Springbar sounds great though.

Made some progress this week. Phase one complete The amount of space underneath is cavernous! I was planning on mounting my freshwater tank where the spare was, but now I'm thinking I'll put it right behind the rear seat. I used 1/2 ply for the top, coated with two coats of oil-based poly...
