Looking good! Fill the back area up with jugs and imagine how far you could get. :victory:

Thank you for keeping the camp pictures coming, this thread is a family favorite. Love Johnnyrovers first picture - unreal. Central BC hike in lake.

That was selling at this Tuesdays (Monday night here) auctions in Japan, where you can register to bid. You still need to add; $1500 for Roro shipping, $1000 for brokerage and custom, and what ever is required for compliance. Also a vehicle specific list of mechanical items should be look at...

Demand is wicked over there for cruisers, but sure digging this one available now for 650,000 yen (~$6500 CND) with a custom bed in the back. Cheers

Why not purchase directly from Japan, maybe even a complete vehicle? I could be wrong, but can't you import a complete vehicle though it can not be registered for the road (unless over 25 years). A low mileage (less than 100,000km and 15 years old in our case) Hiace 4x4; including purchase cost...

What about a Spacemaker "add-a-room" Tent? Though I've only seen it action/use camping, and had a chance to inspect it; found that it was my ideal driveway tent IMO. Or only good for the van guys?

Good advice for the truck, but what about you. Consider asking your doc for a CT scan, possible MRI, of you cervical vertebra. If there is any nerve compression/impingement, or other vertebra conditions, it is better to find out early. Speaking from the experience of ignoring neck pain for...

There a wide verity of online manuals, wiring diagrams, etc; available on different Mitsu forums. Just a few are http://www.delica.ca/forum/, http://www.delicaclub.com/index.php, http://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum/index.php, http://www.pocuk.com/forums/...

Cheers, what kind of TD are you planning to fit? For a 4 cylinder my personal favorite is the Mitsubishi 4D56 2.5 for long term reliability. Having owned two Toyota diesels; a 2L (didn't keep it long enough for the inevitable head gasket failure) and a 3L (awesome but parts cost too much). And...

Van camping all the way! Set up as you described, the ability to crawl into warm, dry bed when conditions are lousy outside is nice. With no-seeum netting over the moon roof you have the open air feeling of a tent, and with a tarp clamp over the opening on rainy, warm nights you stay cool and...

Friends and family are off to NYC in 5 days, yet consider the Baha too unsafe. Here's a thread on van spotting in Guatemala; http://toyotavans.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4502

Someone mentioned a Toyota HiAce, which is a great idea IMO; common enough to blend, good diesel mileage for interior volume, part time 4x4, and parts availability. Since your traveling mostly out of your own country couldn't you purchase a 15 year old Japanese import if you could manage...

Funny how you don't notice something till your looking for it, for example when some one reminds you. Was looking early at this pellet stove and just found they also sell reflective stuff as www.cleardomesolar.com. Fired off an email as now I'm looking forward to successful solar cooking in...

Thanks for the good ideas, the camp kit dish soap has hardened the right consistency for cook ware coating and I'll see if the work with the sticky soot of vegetable oil. Rhino your full of good ideas; hadn't thought of a solar oven for years. It was 10-11 years ago I built one with my daughter...

That's cool, have you tried one of yours versions soy powered? I have a Whisper lite and a Colman peak already, but like the idea of not using a non renewable resource. Changing the way we do things in our household; donated our outboard motors, sold my chainsaw, trying be a resumer not...

Hello happy campers, Has anyone tried, or use, the Bush Buddy camp stove, made in BC Canada? We just acquired one which seems like an useful little well made stove that'll see use on trips involving just one or two of us. Simple, well made, a bit pricey and wouldn't be surprised that after a...

Do that then add a thick skid plate from trailers front leading edge to under the axle. Then slide your unit over larger obstacles; not treading lightly IMO but I saw a older clamshell trailer/lifted cruiser combo last year doing so (North cariboo, aug, rough 60 with diesel and a straight pipe...

Plainsmuse - awesome plans for your Carry, and glad to hear there available to you. Truly the expedition vehicle of the future. Do auto kia trucks like the carry have different gearing in the Auto's? I passed a spotlessly clean Carry headed to the border, this weekend, that must have been doing...

Active commercial use Canadian backroads post the VHF channel (normally 150-170mhz) road side, which the huge offroad trucks use to call there position on. Monitoring that channel, with your scanner, opens up many areas for exploring.
