Let me be the first to say that I'm not sure this is a very good idea. First of all, the Toyota is not a small vehicle by any stretch. I think length is pretty close to a Suburban, but they are narrower. Second, while they have enough power for most needs, and still probably acceptable with a...

I run a studded Cooper Discoverer M/S in a 235/85 on my Trooper. I am, in general a big fan of studded tires. Basically any decent ice tire is better on ice than a studded tire, but studs handle the ice allowing the rest of the tire to be designed for more general snow use. So generally an ice...

Do a search in the vehicles for sale section here. There was a link recently (I think Haven posted it) to a very nice looking D90 in Washington with a TD5. It was listed on Craigslist. As far as price, I would say low $20k range for an average-good truck, $25k - $27k for excellent condition...

Sorry Christophe, that's awful. I hope it all gets resolved and properly repaired. Give your mechanic the opportunity to check the brakes on Black Bear.

I've been looking at the MP winch lines since Ric brought them up in a thread recently. I would like to get some more info on their lines - what are they made out of, how and who makes them. On the surface, their breaking strength numbers seem pretty inflated to me. I understand basically how...

Sema? EDIT: Sorry, it doesn't like all caps, but you know what I mean.

You would think, but my experience has been somewhat different. For what it's worth, I have exercise induced asthma, allergies and cannot function in heat. Several years ago, I discovered quite by accident that drinking a Red Bull right before light air regatta (the kind where you bake and bob...

Martin, give the boys over at Astro Automotive a call. Be sure to tell them you a Colorado4x4.org member (or heard about them there) and they will give you 10 percent off. They are not cheap, but price competitive, and very meticulous.

Thanks Kristian! Expeditionpictures is the master behind the camera, I was in the J8 interviewing Scott while he drove. If you liked the video, be sure to subscribe to the Overland Expo 2009 podcast in iTunes (your choice of HD or iPod). We have some pretty great videos coming soon. My take...

So bummed that I couldn't make it. Still assembling parts to get the Trooper repaired. Next year.

Hi all, Expeditions West got a first hand look at the all new AEV Milspec J8 jeep and was kind enough to bring Sagen Media along for the ride. Enjoy.

Perfect.

My understanding was that the Independent4x perspective was that the Aisins are the highest quality after a rebuild. Thanks for clearing that up. When I bought my Superwinch hubs, it was generally agreed that they were on par with the Aisin hubs. Clearly time has shown otherwise and I think the...

Never in checked luggage, it will get cooked. Don't expect a hand inspection in Europe. Best bet is to FedEx it to your hotel/destination. At the end of the trip, ship your exposed film to your lab, ship the rest home. If you are concerned about it getting lost in transit, number your rolls as...

Sorry to hear that. Mine are still in one piece but I plan on replacing them with Aisins soon. I bought mine before they got real expensive, but they are not a quality product. Sometimes they engage, sometimes they disengage, sometimes the seem to get stuck halfway in-between. I'm not averse to...

I'm not sure what high impact gear oil is, but I swear Redline MT90 is sourced from a private fountain in manual transmission heaven. The stuff is amazing. Graham it was great to see the Rangie the other night. You should name it the Home Wrecker, just for its past. :sombrero: If you decide to...

Congratulations and welcome to ExPo!. Make sure the problem is with the stereo system and not your iPod. Apple switched port setup/arrangement on the current generation iPods starting with the iPhone 3G and skinny Nano, so manufacturers like Eclipse can either make a product that is compatible...

Pretty much. It is all about levels of quality. Get in touch with your local ASMP and APA chapters and see what they say.

x2 Any updates?

Also do a search for Expeditions West Old Taco as the mods that James did are not contained in one thread but should come up if you search for them. His screen name is Trail Monkey, so you can also search for threads that he started. As a side note, the top of the bed is about the same height...
