The torn boot may allow contaminants in that can cause premature wear of the axle, but since you're exclusively on highway I wouldn't worry about the drive. Wouldn't replace axle either, just boot.

Fold down the rear seats and you can sleep in any Cruiser wagon unless you're a giant of 2 meters plus. Going lift, big tires etc. usually isn't necessary unless you must have single digit MPG.

Without reading all 40 pages right now, can someone tell me if the original truck on page 1 was repainted white?

Looking good. You know, some of the 1st generations came with vinyl flooring rather than carpet. My old '85 did.

The Classic rules. It's the only fairly modern Rover I like. All of the old ones are way cool, of course.

Love the color of that truck, though I think the stock wheels compliment it much better.

I agree. Sounds like a part car to me.

The truck in that photo is LHD. Pretty sure lots of places in the world have LHD 70 series, it's just that the ones Americans are used to seeing are the RHD Japanese imports. Aussies are also RHD.

Nice truck. I think it looks great with the new wheels and tires. Would not lift it if it were mine.

What diesel engine would that be? Cool, but I'd prefer one of the N.American gas engines in one of these for half the price.

Sure, like a side shot showing the entire vehicle, the interior and engine. What year? I had an '85 4x4 Nissan. Very nice looking trucks, and well made for the most part. The weak link is the manual transmission. I think Nissan offered locking diffs in later trucks, maybe you could...

Seems like most of the photos you've posted previously are gone. What's up with that?

You want to regularly travel at 70-80 on a long overland trip? Why so fast? LOL. I know different strokes for different folks, but if that's your comfort zone, it may be necessary to ditch the diesel 80. I'd second Clutch's advice and go with the 4Runner/Prado with a gas engine.

Hard to disagree with this. My preference is a relatively heavy AWD subaru with ABS brakes on snow and ice. Jacked up 4x4's with wide tires are, in most cases, more dangerous in slippery conditions than FWD cars, in my experience.

What brianwilson said. The current tires are probably just fine, but those wheels are definitely a no go. :Wow1:

Considering your truck has low miles, HG replacement and no rust, the aftermarket headers and exhaust might not be a bad idea, especially since you're running oversize tires that rob power. I'd want to figure out the potential overheating problem first though. Maybe it's not just a bad cat.

Nice photos. Land Yacht is a great name for it.:)

Unless it's 2wd, needing major repairs or neglected, I'd go with the cheap one. Not necessary to spend a lot of money for your wants and needs. Or for anyone else's, for that matter.:)

My vote is for ditching stinger but not adding more lights. I have a 22RE '92 single cab with vinyl floor, and am interested in the bucket seat idea.

LOL. Hey Charlie, do you have photos and write up of your diesel M-37?
