    Oddball Toyota sighting

    There are quite a few of those running around here in Vancouver. The Mitsubishi Delica seems to be more popular though. One of my friends just bought a Delica and it's very cool! It has a 2.5L turbo diesel, true 4x4 and a low range transfer case. It seats 7, and the middle and rear seats fold...

    the era of the 74 is here ;-P

    It looks freakin awesome! The transfer of stuff from the 70 to the 74 starts soon - I'm almost over the "enjoying it in stock form" phase. I need armour before River Shiver tree bouncin' though. LOTS of it...

    the era of the 74 is here ;-P

    Yep, it's 24V. My 70 is 12V and they came with dual batteries as well. Jacket - it came from Japan so no knowing it's history. The importer I bought it from really goes through them, and details the snot out of them before delivery. It's destined to be my all rounder camping/fishing/wheeling...

    the era of the 74 is here ;-P

    Ok, well it is in MY world :wings: Been driving my BJ70 for 15 years now and finally decided it was time to move up. My original wish list was: No rust, cable lockers, winch, full floater, a/c, and under 100,000kms. This one had no full floater, winch or cable lockers, but it did have a/c and a...

    BJ70 in BayArea $3000

    It'll be an H55F 5 speed. A BJ70 with a really rusty body AND a rotted frame would be a B I G project.

    ExPo Radio Chat

    This looks really interesting. I'm game to try joining in on the next round, whenever that turns out to be. It appears the fellow that invented the whole IRLP thing lives 15 minutes away from me, cool! VE7TFO, 2M+75cm.

    AT FJ55 Project Vehicle

    The only thing cooler than a 55 is a....diesel 55! Throw a 1HD-T in it instead :drool:

    Choosing between 2 diesel Cruisers

    If you absolutely don't want a JDM (and all the niceties that can go with it (the lovely direct injected turbo diesel 12H-T, a/c, FF diff, possibly cable lockers, low miles, etc), then FWIW and IMveryHO: The 2H with an auto is ok, but that tranny sucks away a fair amount of power. Yes you can...

    SIMEX tires

    Please go get them and let us know how they work! I've been curious about these since the first time I saw them in Oz. Not too many 35x10.5s available...

    Finally wrote the test...

    Sorry to dig up the old post here, I just got licensed and am busily searching any interesting ham info. FWIW, you can email Industry Canada and request your address be hidden from view. I got my new call sign today and immediately emailed <spectrum.amateur@ic.gc.ca> and requested it. Got an...

    Never seen a 4 door Troopie before, wonder if it's a custom job?

    Best in-home espresso maker

    Hmmm, so my first post to EP is about espresso machines - I guess that's fairly appropos! Just wanted to say that while the Rancillio Silvia is a great machine, it doesn't plumb into your water source, if that's what you meant (rather than just wanting to be able to get hot water out of the...
