I likw the names like Denali Llama LOL!

I would probably consider a tundra to use as a tow rig while I was in colorado but that is just my.02. the older style can be with a v-8 for towing the 40 and offer all the comfort of a new truck. access cab had 4 doors for easy access for gear if you are not worried about seating more then 2...

All that work and he is using milk crates to stow gear in the truck :xxrotflma I'm always amused at where people chose to cut corners.

Weel my 480c is an awesome machine. Being the predecossor of the 540 it lacks a few feature but is almost the same. Down here if FL it shows everything and even the trails that show no name on the maps are named correctly on the gps.

Man that thinkg is sweet! I love the custom top with the huge windows. If it is living room conversion that would be a sweet rig to hit the trials with.

Optima=crap I have blown through so many optima baterries that I will never buy another. I had 3 go bad in the past year after draining down one time. 1 red top 2 yellow. I am going to try the Deka batteries next.

nice set up. I think the pass side cam is intersting but it will be miricale if it stays on there.

Campa offers another version of their system that slides into the back of a normal pick up bed. You can contact them for details. It is similar to the EVS unit.

Demello and others ggenerally do not build a bumper to fit the factory hitch because of clearance issues. I'm sure if you contacted the builders directly they could easily fab what you need. I would be surprised however if the factory hitch wold not fit with minor modification like drilling a...

interesting thread. I would have to look for foriegn car reliability and good part availability though out the trip. A large part of deciding where to put $ will be determined on how much you can fab on the cheap and DIY vs buy quality parts of the shelf for big $. i would be doing alot of work...

Yep and last week alot of work went into mike rig putting in a new sterringbox and partial ram assist unit. He shattered his steering box when he curbed his truck leaving the pub. THe new Straight axle and cross over steering was to much for the factory box. As for my rig. I am just going to...

That would be a great build. I have owned 5 early 80's dodge vans for my work and they were work horses. I like the 318 motor alot more but that would be an easy swap when the 360 dies. Someone should get it. I would actually snag it if I had the dough.

Well unfortunetly this trip has been cancelled to many bad omens and tuff times. COry my passenger had to bail, mike main passenger had to bail for $ issues mike broke his hand and I have been haing a mix of $ and :Mechanic: issues wit the truck. Chris and Anne from Campa are still going they...

'96 Tacoma reg cab. 2.7 manual trans manual hubs. I have done alot to this truck but if I was starting from sctach I would would go for an extra cab with the 2.7. Very reliable and not to many rigs can run 33" tires with 4.88 gears and get 20 mpg loaded on the highway. Economy is great for...

Well this is the worst I have seen actual pics of. Here is the link if you have small kids on your lap do not open this link cause it is a bloody mess. http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=777869&highlight=%2BDeer+%2BGore

Exactly me thoughts. If you were empty that is one thing loaded for ong trip is different. Also flat land and hills have huge variables just like putting along in the lower gears do which is where most of us are when we are covering long distance offroad. With my 4cyl my gas went to crap when...

So any updates on the coffee maker? I know ya just got back, but I do not remember seeing a report on it before you left LOL!

I hope you drilled out the ends of those cracks. If not look for those to continue along the current route effective immediately. Always drill a small hole at the end of a crack to stop it from growing. On those type of vacume formed plastics the best thing to use is Devcon Plastic welder...
