Classic Cruisers is local to me. Let me know if I can inspect a part or cruiser for you. No affiliation.

4runner for better MPGs unless you need space.

I would still recommend going over 550 from Durango-Silverton-Ouray on your way to Moab (or the opposite). It is spectacular and even more so covered in snow. It won't matter that you can't do any offroading there. From Durango take US160 east back to Walsenburg and then Clayton NM and then to...

I believe some first generation Foresters had the DOHC motor. Fine motor, but a bit more difficult to work on (setting valve clearance) than later SOHC motor. I've had multiple 2.5 Subarus in the family. All have needed headgaskets. Can be done in car, but actually easier to pull the motor. My...

Exped SynMat UL7. http://www.rei.com/product/811907/exped-synmat-ul-7-air-pad Super comfy but packs light and small.

Great to see more confirmation!

Bump for price drop $700

100 series Cruiser and a set of good all-terrains and call it a day. When/if you sell a few years down the road it will likely depreciate less than any of the other choices.

Gordon and Maverick - thanks for the comments. I've had the hi-lift mounted on the swing out. Last time I tried to use it a pin was frozen. Same thing the time before that. I'm thinking that moving it inside - at least the ratcheting part - might keep it in better shape. But I'm still...

I have a Propex in my Vanagon. Multiple zero degree (F) nights (-17C) every winter. Works great but a little loud. ($600-$800). Got mine from Karl at http://www.westyventures.com/propex.html . Wood stove in a Springbar sounds great though.

Made some progress this week. Phase one complete The amount of space underneath is cavernous! I was planning on mounting my freshwater tank where the spare was, but now I'm thinking I'll put it right behind the rear seat. I used 1/2 ply for the top, coated with two coats of oil-based poly...

Hey BZJ - wheels are 16x8, 4.5" backspacing. Toyota part number 42601-60361. ABout $180 each list these days. All 5 for $450. If I can hold out I'm going with 255/85/16 ST/Maxx. Otherwise 285/75/16.

Hey - sorry for the tardy reply. Yes, the width of the feet are adjustable, but not via a continuous slot. There are a series of 8 parallel holes. Looks like the mounting gutters could go about 2-3 inches wider and 4-6 inches narrower. I didn't list the wheels and tires yet (waiting on cooper...

Nice find FinsUp!

StClair - where did you find the ST/MAXX?

I can't offer an in-depth comment, but I just purchased the AT combo slide. I'm building the platform in my 80 around it. I haven't yet used it on an outing, but the quality of the slide and the integration of the Partner stove are first class.

Thanks Kurt - didn't know that but makes sense. Title changed!

Super simple and stout storage platform for FJ80s. Made of 1/4" plate aluminum. Attaches using factory 3rd row seat mounts and two additional bolts. Easily removable. Can use either full or half platform if you need to use one of the third row seats. Has multiple attachment points to lash your...

ARB 73x49 rack with mesh floor and install kit for FJ80s, FJ60s and other vehicles that have rain gutters. Also includes two bike mounts, two kayak mounts (great for lumber hauling too), and a super custom shower mount :). Good condition, but has normal wear (paint scuffs). $700 OBO. Don't...

Nice Akayl. I'm doing a build myself - very similar starting point. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Are you thinking second fuel tank or fuel canisters?
