Yeah, That was one bit of design I really wanted to get right. I have my opinions on how extreme most overlanding companies want to make that angle. It has to be right. Not sure if you know the company called "Bowen Customs". The product from that company is unreal, and generally the designs are...

Well Its been a good while since I've posted anything on here. Lets see, where do I begin? Turbo? I had one built for me by a guy in the interior of BC. I was having a few problems with the HX35 I had installed in the new year. For many reasons, Its just not a good turbo for my application...

Sorry it's taken a bit for me to get back on here. Road trips and off-roading and stuff, has kept me pretty busy. Not to mention, trying to get the back log of work done, so that I could have that two week road trip and not have anyone left behind at work. I really look forward to seeing your...

Wow! You've done some of the things Ive wanted to do already... but I Have to ask.... is that pass through into the cab?

Been awhile since I posted. It's impressive how fast life can run away on you. Don't worry! It's all fun stuff. An update on those pilot hole injectors, it took a bit of work to really get them dialled in well but now that they are, I'm impressed even more. Smooth, quiet and the fuel mileage in...

Here's the pilot hole injectors I was talking about in the previous post. If you zoom in on the second picture, You will see the tiniest hole with two larger holes. That is the magic formula. I installed them, and realized, I had a whole bunch more pump tuning than I thought I had. One the first...

definitely!

You know, When I was sitting in Horseshoe bay, waiting for the ferry, I wondered if maybe we'd bump into each other or recognize our rigs in passing. So that actually happened accept that I missed seeing yours. Next time!

Here's my adventure rig! Even with the camper on, it still goes through the obstacle course at the BC overland rally. 1991.5 W250 12 Valve. Lots of cool mods

So, How do I fund my overland builds? Mainly I work as a mechanic, for a logging company, but, when the opportunity presents itself, I love to work on vintage Landcruisers. A fellow, more travelled overlander, Needed some work done on his landcruiser. I offered to travel a number of hours to his...

When I get there, I for sure will.

Yeah mine does make noise in high torque conditions. I've played around with fluid and levels and have tried between 5w30 and15w40. Doesn't seem to make a difference at all under those certain torque loads. I do intend to pull it and reshim the bearings before I go on my trip and when I do my...

Well, my camper is also off the shelf, but it doesn't have that sweet pop up roof. I think about that a lot actually, I'd sure love to fit under some trees, once in awhile. I do agree with you that the first gen is hardly bigger than the modern Tacoma. I've been offroading a couple times with...

What's the next part of the story? Should we Talk about Campers? Probably. So I have the Northern Lite Camper on the back of the truck. It has a lot of benefits but I find it also has some short comings. I'm a complete flip flop when it comes to the debate, of keeping the camper or building...

Little secret about power driven diesel, they have their injector tips built by dynamite diesels machine. The two companies do a lot of R&D work together.

Having been invited by Ray Hyland himself, for a number of years, to attend the BC Overland Rally, I finally bought a ticket, and made the journey to Merrit BC. I had @fire_rosie_on_tour behind me, as we went up Through the Fraser Canyon, and then from Spences Bridge to Merrit. That highway from...

I should add. I'm installing a set of dynamite diesels pilot hole injectors. The technology is incredible, and they have a promotion out right now, where, for $400 US, you can send you injectors in, they'll rebuild them with the Pilot hole tips, and ship them back to you. I highly suggest...

I know I got this, I fabricated a good number of things over the years. Aluminum pod for the boat, a couple flat decks, landings, exhaust systems... there's more, but I still have this little edge to me, every time I'm about to do something new. I noticed your intercooler, and was wondering...

Honestly inspired. I skimmed through it and stopped on the fab stuff. An inspiring amount of skill you have. I hope I reach that level one day. For now, I'll just keep plugging away at my list.

Oh sweet! I'll go have a peruse
