You are welcome to drive it anytime...let's pick a weekend to do a day trip or something so you can spend some time behind the wheel. With the 25yr rule they are going to be coming in by the bushel loads soon, and who knows I might bring one back from Australia when we return and put this one up...

I posted about this rig right after seeing in at SEMA... and then myself and Alan of Sportsmobile West went and visited with the US guys that are bringing these in and converting them. I will just say that they are not ready as a US based expo platform yet. In Europe sure, here no.

Tim your reports & pics are always the best...I really look forward to reading anything you post as it gives me somewhere new to check out. Thanks

very nice images and looks like a great time... keep posting up the reports to get the rest of us motivated

Bill & Brau, thanks for the info... Socal the hotrod shop is right around the corner and they really like the Lizard stuff which is a ceramic roll on insulator and then you apply the sound deadener layer. I have used FatMat which is like Dynamat in the past and it worked well as it is the tar...

Kliersic the fake leg works pretty well on the clutch, of course I have not been off road yet so we will see how that goes. cweight it is a 1994...I love your build and will be stealing a number of your ideas, thanks in advance :) First day of the build....and before I get to the photos I...

Yep this is the Miami one... He was a great guy to deal with, picked me up from the airport and met his family. He came down on the price, fitted new tires that I chose, and even did an oil change before my drive back to Phx. Also he agreed to order some replacement parts which will help with...

Well here she is, old but new to me and with a bit of work required but all in all it should be a fun rig. I am going to try and pace myself a bit on this one....first thing is to take care of some of the original owners stuff like de-stickering it. Then I plan to enlist Travis of Safari...

have you guys posted this on ih8mud or the fjcruiserforums or elsewhere? I would think it would be attracting serious attention

quality went away as consumers chose price as the primary selection tool. There are still great companies out there but they are usually smaller and cater to a customer base willing to pay what quality cost Oh and I am a Yaesu guy :)

John very glad to hear you are ok... Me & my family are moving to Brisbane next year so I can take a nursing contract and your shop is somewhere I plan to visit over and over.... and I fully believe the hand of God rested on you & your daughter!

I think it is important for everyone to know a few facts... there are 3 Sportsmobile locations....Indiania is the original, Texas and then Sportsmobile West in Fresno. It is SMB West who sponsors this forum, and they do it more to support the community than to generate sales....having spent a...

I have used both the rugged style like you linked to and normal usb ones..and I am stupid rough on my stuff with lots of desert dust around. Honestly I have never had a harddrive fail and that includes running them 14hrs a day every day bouncing down washboard desert tracks. Currently my...

Great report and keep it coming... Love that you are hitting this area in an Outback, we need more of this kind of stuff! thanks!

wow that is beyond cool the nice size of a 4runner with the wickedness of a diesel super jealous vibe from Az for whoever gets this rig!

Local Motors Rally Fighter there are some threads around here by Haven and a bit of google mojo will shed more light they are made here in Phx and very cool

The Engel is the old school single large compartment...it is about 4 yrs old with some scratches and love marks and works like a champ. We should see about meeting up 1/2 between Phx & Tucson and compare.
