What exactly is this Rover? I thought it was pretty cool looking. I have seen it around a lot lately. I took these pictures while driving with my cell phone. One of them I was going around a roundabout...

Check out the new site!! OM617 Conversion

I don't even know where to begin this post... I have made a few big changes in my life over the last few months. As some of you know, I was planning on getting out of the Navy in September. I thought long and hard about this decision for several months. My wife and I had many long...

I just started my first grad school class today and I need to get my mind off binomial distributions and standard deviations... So, I have been thinking lately that if I had to have one vehicle and one vehicle only to do everything that I want to do, it would be an 80 with a manual tranny...

I really like the 2nd Gen X's and have been doing a lot of reading on them. It seems the biggest weak spot is the front diff. I did a search but could only find posts that were a couple months old. Is there an aftermarket fix yet? Or are most people swapping Titan parts still?

Is it just me or is the 3-spd T-case noiser than the 4-spd? I drove my 55 for the first time in about 2 months on Saturday and I heard some sort of what I interpret to be gear whine which I hadn't really noticed before. I figured it must be coming from the t-case. I never noticed this in my...

Not Mine, I just saw it and thought it was pretty cool for the price!! http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/car/533124467.html

I decided to start a thread on this particular procedure, as I could not find anything specifically on this forum. I hope to organzie as much information as possible on this thread so that other noobies like myself will be able to easily find this information. I know that there is tons of...

The Monday before Turkey day I was happily driving my 55 to work. Minding my own business I approach a red light about 2 miles from my work and begin to hear metal scraping metal sounds. I pass it off initially as one of the cars next to me but hear it again at the next light. Now, I'm...

I have a few issues that I would like to start taking care of but I'm not sure exactly what FSM to buy. My ('72) piggy is an 11/71 production date. On the SOR site its broken by Chassis & Body Manual-Fits 1968-1971 55 Series-USA and World and Chassis & Body Manual-Fits 8/70-1974 40 Series &...

As some of you know I recently acquired a 1972 FJ55 in relatively good conidtion. Some pictures here (http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7350). The last couple of weeks I have been having some buyers remorse or so it seems. I have to admit this was somewhat of an impulse...

Saw this 55 in the paper on Thursday, looked at it on Friday, purchased on Saturday. I just had to bring it home, its a keeper!!!! Say goodbye to the KLR... More details to follow, I'm going to drive it right now!

Found this on Craigslist on the island, what do you think? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/car/339466091.html I have emailed the owner, apparently it has a Nissan Turbo Diesel in it. I know nothing about these, I'm a LC guy...

Well, I have recently made the decision to get rid of some debt. So, in order to aid in the process I am going to sell my Cruiser and pick up a cheaper vehicle for the mean time. I have found a T100 that I'm interested in. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/car/348099999.html KBB.com says...

A buddy of mine is selling a D90, I believe its a '94 with the 5spd and ~90K. Kelly blue book says its worth about $30K. From what I have seen in the picts it appears to be in excellent condition. I'll see if I can dig up some picts. Since I am a cruiser guy:oops: , does that sound about...

Now that I have this new fancy camera, I need the proper protection for it. I'm not really sure what's out there as far as camera bags/backpacks go(TOTAL NOOB :smilies27 ). I would prefer something backpackish if that exists, so that I can take the camera and other necessities on a hike or to...

Well, after reading a ton of reviews based on recommendations from this website and following links to other reviews, I believe I found the DSLR that I want. First a little background on me... I have virtually no photographic experience other than point & shoot. I have been inspired by the...

Finally made it to Hawaii and I'm looking at a few older 4-Runners to bomb around the island in. Found an '87 4cyl 5spd for about $3900. Any problem areas I should be aware of?

I know that there are a few 3FE enthusiasts around here (upcruiser, hltoppr, 60seriesguy). I have been doing some more thinking from my original post (see link) http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=17563#post17563 I'm coming to the logical conclusion that diesel is probably not...

Hello all, This is a great forum!! I been on 'Mud for a while now and have been looking very closely at the Expeditions West webpage lately and managed to find my way over here. My screen name is the same over there, I don't post a ton, just mostly soak up info. (I apologize in advance if...
