    Gone Safari - Africa E7 Trip Report

    Awesome Kurt, thanks for posting this. I am jealous! Always have wanted to go to Africa. Looks like tire pressure was a bit high in the dunes, what were you guys running? I see a Front Runner grill on the Sherpa too, awesome product but the one I got had sharp edges on it, sharp enough to cut...

    RMP&Os 1977 Patrol Ute build for overlanding

    Injection pump fully rebuilt now using OEM parts straight from Japan! As stated earlier in the thread, I was quoted $3k for the IP plus more for the turbo and injectors. Happy day when they called me up and the grand total was $1650! IP, turbo and injectors now back at the machine shop. Exhaust...

    Trade my locked v8 80-series Cruiser for....

    Not selling. Don't feel a need to get rid of it. I love the truck. It is pretty dialed in and nice. I would do a trade though. Here is my Cruiser, it is a 1991: -1997 5.7L vortec, California smog legal with sticker to prove it. Unknown mileage on motor but it runs perfect. Plenty of new stuff...

    Help me decide, keep Frontier or get SUV (Montero, Xterra, 4Runner, Trooper)

    Agree, and limited slip diff in the rear, next best thing to a locker. H233 front and rear axles, front is a high pinion. Seller says trans has been beefed up. Patrols have better suspension that a comparable Cruiser, way stronger front axle. Turbo is an ATX, Aussie brand and good quality not...

    Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4²

    Thanks for answering my questions. Breathers are good on the portal box, I need them on my portals. Drilling and tapping should take care of it. Cheers

    RMP&O's v8 80-series

    Took my truck out for some fun yesterday. Got a few trails 30 miles out of town I like, not much more than dirt roads but this time of year they can be a real challenge. We have had lot's of rain the last 2 weeks and with the snow melt the trails were very slick. Lot's of mud, ruts, water...

    Help me decide, keep Frontier or get SUV (Montero, Xterra, 4Runner, Trooper)

    Only two choices in my mind for an SUV. Since this is a Nissan forum, here is the very obvious one. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/140919-1989-Nissan-Safari-Patrol You want a people hauler, lot's of room and the best Nissan ever made, there you go. Next best choice is an...

    Box Rocket 1995 FZJ80 Build

    The line picked over the terrain is everything. In the picture of the tire lifted, I see several other lines that would not lift a tire at all. Just saying. Cheers

    landcruiser advice for a newbie

    Test drive them and decide what you like. I avoided the 80 for a long while because I wanted the least amount of electrics possible. So I had an FJ60 for awhile. Then I got an 80 and yes it has more electricals but really not much to it compared to say the 100. If you want comfort and mostly a...

    RMP&O's v8 80-series

    Right on, I could go the custom route but just don't want to spend the money on this engine. Cheers

    RMP&O's v8 80-series

    Thanks man. About the UMP, big pain in the butt to relocate the battery but worth it. After I put it in I drove down to Baja for a 3 week trip. 3,500 miles on that trip. Lot's and lot's of dust, some of which was that super fine talcum dust you hear about in Baja. Checked the air filter when I...

    Purchased an Expedition G Wagen

    I did not read the entire 30 pages of this thread but I did read the part about your IP problems. I am not familiar with G's at all but if the truck will only start with starting fluid, sure seems like a glow plug problem. Also, bit of advice, never start your diesel with starting fluid. That is...

    1973 Land Rover Series III 88" RHD

    I don't think that is correct. In CA, only El Salvador doesn't like RHD. SA has a country or two that also don't like RHD. Cheers

    RMP&Os 1977 Patrol Ute build for overlanding

    Received the IP parts only 5 days after they shipped from Japan. They have been sent off to the injection shop in Salt Lake City! Slow but steady pace here. :) Cheers
