    FS/TRADE: 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 4.6L, Locked, Supercharged, etc.

    Hmm, is that some sort of two-wheeled vehicle? :coffeedrink: Now if you have a nice Toyota T100, then we might be onto something!

    Bump for Wednesday evening, found a few promising leads on campers but would like to have some action on the 80 first!

    FS/TRADE: 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 4.6L, Locked, Supercharged, etc.

    This is a sad day, but we really aren't doing that much “wheeling” these days and are thinking of moving to a pickup/Four Wheel Camper combo. Here are the details: Engine fully rebuilt in November 2010 by Robbie A. (powderpig on ih8mud.com, probably the best and most knowledgeable...

    Bump for this, the trailer is now sold and I still have the original wheels, free to a good home if someone wants to come pick them up!

    Expedition-Ready M416 Trailer - NorCal

    Hey thanks for posting up! We have absolutely enjoyed it, just moving in a different direction as they say. How are you liking the Syncro van?

    Expedition-Ready M416 Trailer - NorCal

    The axle is original, with some nice aluminum 5-lug to 6-lug adapters being used to fit the Toyota bolt pattern. I'm not sure where the adapters were sourced, unfortunately. As for new axles, look at ABC trailer supply or Southwest Wheel, both have online stores with good pricing.

    Expedition-Ready M416 Trailer - NorCal

    Thanks for the comments. The rack and tent do raise together, the picture below is probably the best one I have of the tent in the "up" position, which is about 18" higher than where it normally sits for transit. This one shows a pretty good closeup of the raising mechanism - basically you...

    Expedition-Ready M416 Trailer - NorCal

    1966 Johnson Furnace M416 trailer, restored and highly modified Most of the work on this was completed by the previous owner, and he did a fantastic job in my opinion. I’ve just added a few refinements here and there that make camping VERY comfortable. We are selling to go back to a simpler...

    Downieville, CA trail ride

    Good stuff, Downieville is definitely one of my favorite trails in CA. Rode it in May this year, with a lot of snow still on the upper portions. Heading up again next week!

    Subaru Outback (or similar) towing an expo trailer? Warning - philosophical rambling

    Nice looking rig, Marc1904. Your build thread was actually one that inspired me to start looking at the Subies. Next time I'm heading down to the Mojave or Anza Borrego I'll have to look you up!

    Subaru Outback (or similar) towing an expo trailer? Warning - philosophical rambling

    Very nice, is yours the 2.5 CVT or manual? I like the steel wheels as well, can you share the source?

    Subaru Outback (or similar) towing an expo trailer? Warning - philosophical rambling

    Same story here, my wife really likes her 4Runner, but the mpg with the V8 isn't that much better than my 80; she seems to average about 17 with mostly freeway driving. The CVT was my main concern with the Outback as well. I guess it's too early to tell about long-term reliability, but I do...

    New Owner 2003 Toyota 4Runner Sport 4.7V8 30,190 Miles

    Running 265/70-17 Bridgestone Revo 2's on my wife's 4Runner, also a 2003 V8 Sport Edition. With stock suspension, they rubbed on some of the plastic fenderwell liner in the front when hitting bumps with the wheels turned. Some slight trimming cured that issue. After about a year I installed a...

    Subaru Outback (or similar) towing an expo trailer? Warning - philosophical rambling

    I thought about posting in this thread, as my situation pretty much mirror's the OP's there, but I think I have come to about the same conclusion. I've got an awesome FZJ80 Land Cruiser that's lifted, locked, armored, etc., and gets about 10-12 mpg pulling our little M416-based expedition...

    Santa Cruz, CA to Portland, OR to Portland, ME

    Thought some of you here might be interested in this. My brother Lorenzo and a couple of other guys are in the midst of a cross-country bike touring trip. They're currently somewhere between Oregon and Washinton, and have been keeping up a pretty entertaining blog here...
