First of all, I don’t really think there is a good alternative disk brake conversion for the Series truck yet. I don’t even think Rocky Mountain is doing them anymore. At best these systems are proprietary and having trouble in the bush means contacting the maker and having parts shipped in at...

Andre - Those are great motors, aren't they. I can't wait to get this on the road and see how it pulls. The 616 in my 88" is perfect for that truck and has never let me down. I just keeps running and running. Funny to have an old Rover that you don't have to open the hood every time you...

Nah, I really want a 4-door. Just easier with the pups and reaching things in the front of a long bed is a pain. I can survive for weeks at a time in an 88" so the extra room of the 109 will be gravy. Them hangy bits aren't that tough. I had the same problem with the 4-cyl Benz engine in the...

I thought about the H55F and almost did it for no other reason than the 5-speed. It's kind of an odd tranny here in the states though, and it's a little long. I'd also have to run the LC T-case which I didn't want to do. What I'm loosing in gears with the NP435 I'm gaining in cost...

Hi All, After posting in the General Discussion section I decided to start a thread over here about the build I’m doing. I recognize a few names over here so some of you might be familiar with it. I’ve had an 88” Series III for a number of years that has been modified and prepared for...

Looks like fun. Man, I gotta get back out to Colorado. Been too long.

A rabies certificate is all you need. My wife is Canadian (so is one dog!) and we're across the board all the time. Maybe one time in four they'll ask for papers crossing in one direction or the other. The longest stretch without fuel is from the Mirage outfitter at km 358 of the T-T, out to...

Shower shoes! There are a fair number of established, however primitive campsites along the James Bay road and a couple on both the Route Du Nord and Trans-Taiga roads. There are also clearings all over that can function as campsites as well but you need to you caution that they are not First...

With careful packing and we can be in that truck indefinitely. This was the second 1-month trip we’ve been on, the first with one dog, this trip with two dogs. I’ve built a platform that rests even with the rear fender wells and has a ramp so the dogs can get in easily. Under this platform...

Just back from a month-long, 4000 mile trip to the James Bay area in northern Quebec and thought I’d share some photos. We were gone the month of July, a seemingly good time to go. The weather was fairly good and the bugs weren’t nearly as bad as they’re reputed to be. We drove the entire...
