I thought it was some sexual act that was performed in your Toyota when you were a Mile above sea level I used to live in Denver : )

I was going to pull the Buy button on a unit on a slow ship from China at $50. If it didn't work could have it as a small foot stool Seems every variation under the sun out there. Lets us know how your works out

Hit me up when you're in Ireland - I'm near Galway

Did 1 year trip a few years back and was way too short. Does yours include USA as well?

Looks good. I'd be interesting in popping up to see it, if you fancy some company!

looks like roof is fitting good per your custom sizing. Higher in general profile than I though but looks good How you doing on the rear door?

was great to see the machine and cabin "in the flesh" the other week. More than eager to see how you progress ; as next in line : ) Like the roof gauge and having cupboard/shelf space there is definitely on my list. Only seen a very small number of folks doing any mods to get a shelf (other...

safe trip

Thanks will take a look

Yep - had that issue but popped off the trim and got a new one. Didn't know sliding it out was an option. Good find

Holes at bottom of doors are clear. Definitely just bottom of doors and not coming in on main floor but know what you mean in relation to roof overflows. Having difficulty trying to find right type of plastic to replace it with

Suffering with water on interior lower carpet material on the bottom inside of both middle doors after lots of rain I've changed the outside bellhousing (if thats the name) plastic trim and that helped a little I've opened up the doors and can't figure out where the water is getting in. The...

Good stuff. I've a plastic cover piece to replace and hopefully will solve my constant overflows on the sunroof. This should make it easier to get to

There is nothing "extra" on the main battery. All extra accessories is off the leisure battery

Forgot to say if I disconnect the positive cable on the main battery it's fine over a week with very little drop

I've an electric "leak" that will drain my main starting battery in 4 days. Will drop from 12.7v to 11.85v with all doors closed, no alarm system Have tried tracing 'usage' across main fusebox without any real answer. Any ideas on how to diagnose further? 1997 80 4.5L v6 petrol 1FZ-FE - 330K...

Where they at? and how much?

be nice if someone could create a dogbone that was (self) adjusting

Meet Live Work Wander USA guys in Ireland in their borrowed TLC 200 Mantec conversion. Very nice. Will post some pics once sync with mobile. They are getting their TLC 79 (with poptop) moved over to an 80 chassis and upgraded with some more Mantec goodies

Richard The only ones I've seen that have been successful have been Progressive Insurance in the USA. Best to check the Overlanding America facebook forum. Not sure that works for Canada and may need another solution there

very European now !

its that dilemma between short term vs long term trips and coping with different climates (rain, cold, hot, muggy) etc.

Have you tried ebay and there are also several overland forums/groups on FB - to give yourself more of an audience

Steve - I might be interested, can you send PM and pics/specs etc

great fit with the back of the truck

last time there were at least 4-5 several camping areas as couldn't fit all in one spot Be interested to see what you find

went there as well and lots of eye-candy. Toms is the best quality by far buy mucho monies. Several other vendors as well. Can send some links/photos At the show its better to spend more time in the campgrounds looking at all the real rigs and seeing who has done what, what works etc.

its on my list in near future. Doing R&D and talking with some that have travelled with poptop and next steps (more expansion, bigger body and replacement back) Interested in Bat21 build as well. Looking to meet Renago in Milan during Sept (on trip Ireland->France->Crotia and back) as he is on...

Good info. Thanks for that On my list on next few years

I popped mine off and replaced with new. Did have leak in same spots If know you could slide out I'd have done the same

Did 6 weeks seem like enough. Was it a lot if driving or got enough mix to enjoy it What were shipping costs and where to where

nice work

How easy to get the axle off for derusting/painting

Mine looking kinda similiar. Just a lot of TLC cleaning it up. Went back together ok. Didn't need any sealant. Overall main black rubber seal was in good shape

shoot .. hard to remember now. Join RisingSun4x4 club and they have lots of outings. Several mags/books as well as online resources try https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/colorado/arapaho-national-forest/off-road-driving https://www.faricy.com/blog/best-jeep-trails-in-colorado/...

likely only a week in Crotia. Expect to have 3-4 wks from IRL->France->Italy towards Crotia and back, so not a lot of time

they don't have model for petrol FZJ80

checkout these guys in France that allow for Recaro seats to fit in 80. They do a lot of fabrication work

Great spec on the truck

Nice truck. Thinking of a driving trip to Croatia towards end of this year so could ping you for some advice on places to see etc.

I have paper Elec manual for 96 auto model (USA truck) if you need me to scan any specifics sections

What is that?

Thats funnt regarding swap. Lots of nice memories on trips to NM. I lived in Colorado for several years and drove around USA quite a bit. You'll not have any of the local (UK/IRL) "rust" as you're in the dry climate so be grateful for bolts not seizing/breaking when you're working on the truck :(

Welcome. Nice truck. Had a short few days in St. Petersburg in Nov last year (as part of trip around the Nordics) and was lovely. Will be visiting Russia and Stans on a larger upcoming trip in next few years
