The MRAP wheels (NOT M1078 LMTV wheels) have the correct bolt pattern and center hole diameter for use on a MB1017 and the like, but only as a front wheel. They have a step in the rim so they can not be mounted reversed on the rear. Also some have a built-in regulator that would interfer with...

Looks like the seller was truly only 'feeling'. A buddy has tried getting hold of him via Craigslist and the Expo, and he has gone dark. What a waste of time. The whole 'feelers', 'testing the water' has never made sense to me.

Agreed! It looks like most of the cabin is unfinished plywood, with thin L-brackets and wood screws holding every together (putting 4 in does not help) It must have started in Austrailia with the cabin door on the left. A pretty weak ad. Ya, the most important thing is it is 16 feet tall...

First I would like to complement your truck. It is great to see a truck built for camping and exploring, as opposed to being a mall-cruiser. And wow, some very desirable upgrades you have done. A couple questions. Does it have any rust or corrosion issues/areas that would need to be addressed...

Disclaimer- Not mine, no relation to seller or vehicle It looks kind of rough, with some issues, but maybe the path to a less expensive BJ74? https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/rare-1986-bj74-toyota/6412943354.html $6,500 1986 Toyota BJ74 Land Cruiser 13B-T 300,000km Turbo Diesel 4...

OK, I think this has gone too far in the protection area. A grill guard with ROPS roll-over-protection-system :sombrero: click to enlarge

I've been planning on adding a pyrometer to my Fuso and in reading up on them, while pre-turbo gives a more accurate reading, some people suggest post-turbo, so if the probe fails (mechanically, breaking off) it is downstream of the turbo and will not cause any damage. What are your thoughts on...

Here is the Tire Size Calculator that screen capture is from. A very handy converter that works great. https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?

I knew I had seen something like that. It was called 'Mountie and Da Sheik' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountie_and_Da_Sheik I found a Blu-ray/DVD copy on eBay

Seems way too much. I think they just standardize the weight given the size of the vehicle. In searching the history of my truck, it seems all <supressed> trucks sold by <supressed> to <supressed> were all listed at 6,275.0 kg (13,834 lbs) regardless of the make of the truck (all were DOKA...

I think they have been switching back and forth between vehicles. The hitchhiker is cute, but I hear she talks nonstop.

I think the mpg rate is because the back of the 1120 is filled with boxes of Tim Horton donuts. Sheik emailed me some photos and his adventure is starting to sound like a movie I think I saw in the late 1070s? Synopsis Southern Oregonian Big Mog (Pat McCormick) and his son Little Mog (Paul...

I'm guessing they could answer all of your questions. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/184915-6X6-Expedition-RV

Terry Lee Enterprises (Rob Pickering) can get you anything you need. Bill Caid has been operating his 1017A in the US for 7+ years now, big trips every year and no major issues getting a part (unless they were being shipped through Texas during a Hurricane). On the 'surplus' firetrucks, most...

So why not a Mercedes LKW? Underpowered by American standards (just like the Fuso, so maybe it is 'our standards' and not the ROW), but not a bad ride, non-electronic, huge selection of GVW (9-17 tons) , HP/TQ (130-330hp), cab, and bed length? OK parts support in the US and better in the ROW.

I think you are having one grand adventure (yes, sugar coating it), and you haven't even outfitted your truck yet. It is very interesting to read and I hope your 'real' travels are as exciting, but less dramatic. O- and can you bring me back a dozen Tim Horton donuts (the worlds best donuts) :drool:

Ya, it seems like their prices have come down even more (at least on the larger sizes) The 550mm x 1100mm window that I bought in September of this year for $564, is now only $418, great price!

Not to sidetrack too much, but the photo is of a Steyr 12M18. A common misconception is the 12M18 and LMTV series are the 'same trucks'. They share the sheet metal of the cab (sort of), and nothing else.
