Trees, im glad your new suspension worked out for you. Thanks for reporting back. If anyone else wants to share what has worked for them when building this era truck, throw it up here. Let's see some pics as well. Has to be ifs though.?

It's been a few months since my last post in this thread but I will update. I have been out camping and trail running a fair bit this summer in the mountains of Western Colorado. The problem is that I have been splitting my exploring time between the Pickup and my stock '77 40 series...

Just an update since my original post/questions a few months back. I spent a ton of time researching both the Springbar Compact 2 and the Kodiak flexbow 8.5x6 two person tent. As much as I wanted to buy the Springbar, the Kodiak won the decision do to the fact that it had more windows and more...

I have two Kodiak Canvas flexbow tents (9x8, and 8.5x6) as well as a Tepui roof top tent. My Kodiaks see way more use than the Tepui. I would highly recommend the Kodiak tents.

I have a Kodiak Canvas 8.5x6 and I couldn't be happier. I also looked at the Springbar 8.5x6 when I was shopping for this size tent. Both of these are very high quality canvas tents, and I doubt you would be disappointed with either. I just preferred the doors and extra windows on the Kodiak...

It's funny to run across an old/revived thread and realize you now know the person that started it. I wheeled the Kokopelli trail to Moab with RC51kid this year and he is doing quite well with the 80 Series Landcruiser he is driving. But to go with the revival theme, I would recommend old Man...

If you have to air down for traction on the highway for winter driving there are probably better tires out there your your purpose. The BFG's and the Generals both fit the bill as great all around tires. Not trying to bag on anyone for there opinion, I'm just saying that I would never put the...

I always laugh when people say the Cooper st max is good on the ice. I live in a ski town where it snows a lot more than most people have to deal with and these tires are truly awful in the winter, barely any better than than my BFG KM2's (which are siped) on my trail rig. We had them on my work...

$20 grand? I already have two vehicles that come in well under that together that do what I need. Keep in mind that I don't really care about a powerful engine. I prefer life in the slow lane, you enjoy the scenery more that way. First is an '89 Toyota 4cylinder pickup and the other is a '77...

I live in Crested Butte and I can say that passes between here and Aspen will definitely be open for your trip. Taylor Pass is already open and It sounds like Pearl will be opening soon. Your truck will have no problem with the trail, but sliders might be a good idea in a spot or two. It's an...

Thanks for the info silver.surfer. Your size description is about what I expected, which to me is a good thing. I want the smaller size as I don't usually run a heater or want to run a heater to warm up a big space. I figure that with my sleeping bag and my dog, we should stay plenty warm in the...

I'm looking for some reviews and campsite user pics of the Springbar Compact 2 tent (or the Kodiak equivalent) and this tent only. I know this is a limited market so I probably won't get many replies. I already have a Tepui Autana rooftop tent, a Kodiak Canvas Flexbow tent and a backpacking...

The ARB is definitely stronger than the stock differential. In simple terms; it is a solid case inside if the stock differential and thus, lessens some of the deflection that causes parts to misalign and break when the truck is used in a hard scenario. When in use in a one wheel in the air...

She's on 35x12.50 BFG KM2 tires. I have 2 spare factory Toyota CV Axles that I re-greased and re-booted as spares. I also have a friend that has a pile of them from a few axle swaps. The factory CV's are supposed to be pretty burly, so we will see what happens. I did knock out the pressed in...

So.... like I said, I wasn't going to post very frequently. I have updates. I ordered the Blazeland "weld it yourself" long travel kit and it is done! However, I won't be installing it any time soon! The reason behind this is two fold: I got it assembled way to late in the year and exploring...

I love this thread! I originally posted some of my rigs back on page 6. I stated then that the Wildernest was gone. Now the motorcycle is gone as well. But the good news is that I got back in my possession the Landcruiser I drove in high school and I still have my Toyota pickup. The truck has...

Yes

I have been on and off bikes since I was 12, I'm 44 now. For the most part of my life I have had a bike in the garage and for a few years in my mid 20's I didn't own anything but an old Harley Sportster that was my daily driver year round when I lived in Ft. Collins Colorado. I rode in all...

Just signed up. Cool idea!
