Here's a nice turbo diesel Trooper that sold on eBay recently.

Wow, looks very spacious inside. I wonder how difficult it would be to import any one of these Aussie traytop campers.

The lucky Canadian's have a 15 year import law. If you want one now, you could move to Canada. Otherwise you'll have to wait a few more years.

Here's one picture from here.

Photog, I have ordered wheelspacers (adapters) in the 5x150 size before. They had to be custom and therefore cost more than typical 6x5.5 patterns. Toyota also makes steel wheels (for overseas markets) in the same bolt pattern but in a zero offset for their 105 series as well as a 16x6 split...

The last time I emailed http://www.oot4wd.com.au/, they said they DO ship to the US. Postage, of course depends on method of delivery. Aus Post Seamail being the most cost effective.

Thanks, I am using the VDC Battery Minder that charges between 14.2-14.4 VDC. I have been using it for two years now on my sports cars that rarely move and am satisfied with it.

How about Liquid Electrical Tape.

Welcome to ExPo, Rosco! Cheers

Grim Reaper, that indeed is a smart controller. I would guess the soft start-up would extend the life of the compressor and be a bit nicer if one sleeps in the same area as their fridge (not that it is excessively loud as it is). I'd be interested to see some custom built fridge set-ups.

Though I haven't tried it yet, I believe it is possible to do a simple mod on the Waeco's (or any fridge with a Danfoss compressor) to reduce power consumption. I think the larger CF-80 already has this feature. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9170

SoCal, nice find. I'll need one too but I need one that is not permanent. My dual filler neck is a different design that requires me to angle it left or right depending on which tank I want to fill (think "Y" pipe). So if anybody runs across one. Please post up. I was told I could find it at...

Whoa, it even has a bathtub!

That 34 gal tank is made by Long Range Automotive. But it is 34 imperial gallons or 42 US gallons. I know, it's dumb to advertise it in imperial gallons.

The Long Ranger and the LRA tanks are built from aluminized steel. Other tanks like the ones made by NWMP are electro-galvanized. I think they look bare to most naked eyes but aren't.

Looks nice! Just one question... is there any coating or treatment on the inside of the tank to prevent rusting?

There was a Solaire grill in the 316SS (Marine grade) on eBay with the tripod and bulk propane adapter. No bids. Could probably convince to relist and/or lower the price. "Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Solaire Anywhere Portable Infrared Gas Grill and Accessories. A great introduction to the...

Here's a cool wood burning grill/stove by Woodflame. It uses wood chips and an electric fan to produce an amazing amount of heat. If you've ever used one of those little Sierra Zip stoves, it is the same idea, just larger. Oc course, you could always modify an existing grill with a fan for...

All good info. Thanks. All I know is my 400 series SS Vermont Castings grill at home is only two years old but is showing signs of rust. When I bought it, there was no way for me to tell what kind of 400 series, just that it was a 400 series. I have a Wolf Infrared Grill at home and that came...

Perhaps "lesser grade" wasn't most accurate but for purposes of this thread, 400 series stainless steel has less rust resistance than 300 series SS and therefore it is LESS desirable for grills. Keepin' it simple. Non-magnetic=good for grill use. Magnetic=bad for grill use. Of course, there are...
