Well, deal done. Took a good look underneath and everything seemed ok. The CV boots were in good condition, no leaks from the diffs, no massive oil/grease stains... So, I purchased it for $5500. She wanted $6000 and was hard to waiver off that, as she needs the money to do house renos...

It is the 3.3L V6, 5spd manual tranny with the "offroad" package (trying not to laugh too hard here, but they really tried at this)

Here in SE Alberta, we get nothing and expect nothing. We do it because we can and for the feeling of contribution. Hell, the City even charges us rent and parking fees to store our truck/trailers and keep a very, very small office for other equipment. But hey, it's the adventure, training...

Good Day, As my beloved Dodge is finally giving up the ghost after 315K+ km's on the odometer, giving expensive trouble and showing it's age (it's a 95... owned it since new, been through alot together). I gave it to the wife two years ago when I bought my FJ, and she has treated it well, but...

Not so bad, not my taste, but not so bad.

I have owned the Kenwood D-700 and the D-7 radios since they came out. I can't say enough about the radios, they performed excellent. My D-700 is a tough performer, always ready to answer the call and do all sorts of neat, jazzy stuff. We use several of them in our Search and Rescue...

Bump? Reading this thread makes me feel better for all the dumb things I've done as a cook/chef over the years of burning food in the name of haute cusine! As we speak, I am drinking homemade wine and trying to save my pork loin/veggie dinner from disaster in my new Cobb which I got for...

I too would be interested in a DIY kit. Sign me up!

What an interesting thread! In my few years on this planet, I have gone from the ultra-minimal minded camper (never did put holes in my toothbrush to save weight, I just did not take it!) to a full blown family of 4 (wife and two girls...:Wow1:) camping, which really really really really really...

And you can buy the travel mug that fits several of the packets... so you never have to go far without! Excellent idea, imho... that's a lesson in clever marketing; take an old idea and re-invent/improve on it. Whether you like it or not, you have got to give them credit on this one. I will...

x2!!! Totally adictive:Wow1:

You may defend yourself in Canada with lethal force. My wife, who just finished her 4 year criminology degree, clarified this for me. However, if it does resort down to that, it will take a long time to sort through all the paper work and garbage like that... We are a bleeding heart, liberal...

Well, if you are just going to replace it in a few years, run er' till she blows! Enjoy every mile with it until then...

Isn't that interesting... Neat set-up. If I only had the space to dedicate to building something like that to its fullest potential.

Hey Ash! Glad you could come; I really had a good time. You, Sir, are a first class bush cook and I hope we can do this again soon.

I love our pop-up camper! We have a Fleetwood E1. It is good fun and easy to manage. Our best investment was a broom (clean trailers are happy trailers). We have a 3-way fridge in ours, and it was a saviour in the summer when the truck broke down and the camper had to sit in the sun with our...

There is a ton of good stuff on here. Have fun and when I come to pull you out, we will share a few laughs! (or, you pull me out, or, I will hook onto you and pull me in with you!)

Yes, more options are better. I am researching now for a solar set up for my trailer, so I hopefully don't have to use my genset all the time. One that is portable, robust, can be used for the trailer and swapped to the FJ depending on the trip. There are many options, and knowing what is out...

I've had a good run with my BFG ATs. Best tire I've owned, and they go everywhere I go...:smiley_drive: But, I must ask... the chalk test? What is that?

I don't know why we can't have them here... I would buy the diesel in a heartbeat! I think should they offer them in NA, they would have a dedicated following; after a few years, the other auto makers in NA would be scrambling to even sell theirs, when compared to the LandCrusier, But, I am...
