awesome indeed Thanks for the overland por-, uh, picture.

Isn't there that guy Jimmyjam or Jam or ? that has an SMB and a Vanagon syncro. I think he's works on Westys also. Point being, he seems like a good guy to compare/contrast.

Last week I received three different inquiries for information on my 4x4 Astro pop top build. Between emails and PMs on Expo, PNBA, and NWOS, somehow I deleted the one from the guy in Port Orchard and can't for the life of me remember which site you were on. Sorry. If you see this, email me and...

Since you asked, I would get the GoWesty for $30k (or build a similar Astro since you've used the word "unique" twice already) , a used Gasgas 450fse dual sport for $4500, and put the rest down on an '06 Z06 Vette. Since you asked...:sombrero:

So now you are are going to give in to the envirowacks whining and become Tread Lightly Nazi for a little 225/75 15 AT playing in the grease on a farm road that hay bailers will drive down and never notice the Mistsu was even there. You have let them neuter you of your common sense, man! Its...

Possibly the most helpful thread ever! I stopped taking pictures of river paddling because of the same problem. I get lucky sometimes, but that does not necessarily create knowledge that allows me to recreate a technique for success next time. How could this one have been better? "Paul...

I 'spose I can't dispute that. I've don't know that I've ever seen a better one.

My van build. http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/wannahuckmastinky/Astro%20Mini%20Me%20SMB%20build/?albumview=slideshow

Since I don't sell kayaks anymore, I've sort of lost touch with the current recreational kayak models. Generally speaking, the inflatables (aka deflatables :Wow1:) are for budget and convenience, and don't paddle all that well. They are good for getting you out on the water when you otherwise...

Yeah, I still can't figure out why the support crew for The Long Way Round (Down, over, across) weren't in SMBs. They are the perfect vehicle for what they were doing.

Sorry to post without adding any technical advice at this point in the thread, but I just can't get over how closely the wheel well lines and side window lines match the Tacoma fender well lines. Even though they are almost opposite in direction, they look great together. I love the color. I...

For a few years my wife's family has taken a week long holiday at Whistler BC. I would commandeer a friend's downhill mountain bike so my dirtbiking brother in law could ride the chairlift section of the mountain with me ( he refuses to pedal). This year he returned the favor as we went to Lake...

I'll be in the mountains w/out laptop service till next week. I'll check back then, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea what shipping might cost?

Thanks. I've been checking CL but ddn't remember about the search feature. I'm from Oakland Co. Mi. Go Wings!

I hear ya on the bikes. I keep a rotating quiver that includes a hardtail, a 5" full suspension,a 8" Downhill, and a roadbike. Just replaced my '99 Kona Pahoehoe hardtail with a Kona Unit 29er. Next year, will rotate the 5" bike for a new one.

Not sure where my van height is going to end up after SAS next winter. in the mean time, I'm keeping an eye out for a good deal on used 31" MT's for a 16" wheel for the rest of this season and into the fall till project time. Emphasis on "good deal". Preferably enough tread left to make it worth...

Jamm, where are you located and what tire (size and model) are you replacing? Will you be selling them? I'm still deciding what height I want my van to end up, so I'm reluctant to buy that "ultimate" tire set up. Keepin and eye out for a good deal on 31" 16 MTs in the mean time.

I'm a car guy originally from Detroit. But Keaster makes sense. Cars are the biggest divestment there is. Personally, I couldn't live without a camping/shuttle rig like my van. Its our lifestyle vehicle. I would sell the Corolly, keep the Hondy and the Taco. If you still feel the need to buy...
