Yes, Sir! :ylsmoke:
Fixing the damn truck now and get it all ready. Will get the fuel cell in July and then fit the storage.
I´d really like to drive the truck over this year and then visit the King of the Hammers and a few shows in the US.
After all, this truck was build to be driven across the planet ....

You need to visit us at the NW Overland Rally if you can.

Wow, just got through this. What a superb truck. Won't have to worry about finding you, just follow all the spectators.

Thank you all for this thread. Perfect combination of experiences, advice and fantastic photography!
Oilworker: How is the CTIS following years of use? Does it require intensive maintaining? Is it at useful as you had first hoped when installing?
Planning my own portals build of a 79 series dual cab, and your thread is inspirational and educational! Thank you.

Hutchinson WA-1785
Any news about the Hutchinson WA-1785 Beadlocks? I've spend hours on the interweb, but can't find anything about them. Would you be able to give me some info of where I can buy them?
About new ideas?! Well, most important is I found my new Hutchinson double beedlock wheels. They are 8.5x17", have the right offset and back-spacing and exceed my load capacity criteria by almost a 1000lbs (!)

Call Tony at Motorsports in Portland, OR. He deals a lot with Hutchinson(where I got mine from); 503.244.9010. Tell him Jeremy sent you.

lost, but making time
Wow ! Very interesting. 17x8.5 would be an interesting size to try on a Rover.
Wondering about the mounting holes, though... The BCD is good, but just a few too many holes.
Would Hutchinson drill the wheels with just five instead of eight ? ? ?

Thanks Jeremy, I'll give them a call. Already send an email, but didn't get a reply on it.

Will with the same kind of portal axles as Robert, you can get them set up for any BCD type.

Good morning guys ;-)
I hope ya all had a great christmas!
I picked up my own very special christmas present myself on the 22nd of December at my friends´ workshop in southern Germany.
As I have spend most of the past year on the road, working and sorting a lot of things for my future, I was very happy with the offer by EXTREM Fahrzeuge to help me get the LR130CC-R(hino) back on the road.
It came up as we were working together on the very first, full electric, Toyota Land Cruiser, the EJ79
...and even though the Rhino isn´t fully completed, it´s at least back on the road and running :wings::wings::wings:
While at it I also fitted the new shifters by Bowler Motorsports, which they designed for their Defender Challenge cars.
As soon as the guys at Method Race Wheels get moving, I hope I can fit the Nokian Hakkapelliita 35" tyres I finally found....
But more after the Dakar Rallye, for which I am currently packing my gear.
Have a great day and see you soon!
Robert
