Some more sketchy mockups. My local trailer place had a few hitches on clearance so I grabbed this one which is about the correct width. Final configuration is waiting somewhere in my brain box but this is the general idea. Rear doors will eventually be sheeted over with a hatch/window at the...

Yes it is a little easier to lift and I don’t actually have a spare tire at the moment.

Where to fit a spare tire. I have other plans for the cab roof and at 46” diameter and 17” wide and a shade under 400# there are not a lot of options. Plus I still want to keep my bike rack on the back. So my latest epiphany is to make up a rack with a winch to lift the tire and it will also...

This is more for my information than of interest to most people. Here are the inflation charts for the tires I am currently running. 395/85R20 ZXL Michelin. Interestingly I cannot find a table that goes down to my axle weights for normal running (road) but the off road and sand/mud pressures are...

Here is another vote for SRW. I would never run duals on a camper that is going off the pavement.

Always start with the simple, obvious and cheap fixes before going to the obscure, complex and expensive solutions (usually sourced from the Internet) [emoji1]

Yeah then sell me your spare transfer case [emoji1]

A must for anyone wanting to do the YouTube/Instagram thing. Imagine combining Schoolie, Overlanding and Vanlife. [emoji1] But seriously to find the 4WD parts under this price would be near impossible...

We are on out 5th Ambulance and none of them has sealed out the Baja bull dust.

Oil leak from the dipstick is a distinct possibility. There is a fix for it without removing the pan but it’s expensive. https://www.strictlydiesel.com/p-2690-strictly-diesel-dipstick-adapter-repair-kit.aspx

I use a bidet/shower valve to bypass the initial water back to the tank. Just run it until the valve gets warm and then switch it back to shower heads. Amazon about $12. Brass Shower Arm Diverter Valve for Hand Held Showerhead and Fixed Spray Head,G 1/2 3-Way Bathroom Universal Shower System...

I cannot help with the import. But I can offer some advice on the 2H. Be prepared to be the most constipated vehicle in Colorado. You will never pass anything. Only thing slower was a 4cylinder diesel hilux with the mining rollcage. I used to run a fleet of Toyota tray backs with the 2H. Never...

I suggest you go for it. The presentation is just talking about something you know all about. (The good and the bad). And a truck with the quality of yours is a great foil for the Earth Roamers and other mega dollar rigs. Be prepared to spend a lot of time talking to mostly great people. Also be...

The Toyota one was over 25 years ago by (I kid you not) Fred’s 4WD Conversions.

Have you considered a full airride system rather than the helpers. Leave a couple of spring leaves in place to center the axle and use either coils or air springs to provide the suspension. I have a hybrid system on one of my land cruisers in Australia that is basically a spring conversion...

Rollover! But I think it has an 8.9l Cummins and it is located within 30 miles of my place.

This is one of the reasons we went with an ambulance over an RV. V

I use ShockStraps and they seem to work well (never lost a bike or the sidecar). The bike moves around a bit on the suspension but nothing crazy. https://www.shockstrap.com I did look at using the foot pegs as anchor points but having to have multiple different configurations due to different...

Yep he is a good guy. Do you happen to have a spare transfer case?
