Great thread, My background; I have a 2017 200 series (wife's now) and a 2002 100 series and an Scout ii that I just did frame off with LS conversion ... (years ago I had a built NAS 90 and I built a 300tdi 110); I find myself not seeking out the wheeling as much as I did, but more the...

I am about to select a tank, I have several of the 20lb tanks and although they seem large and heavy; the thought of being able to exchange it at any gas station or grocery store is appealing; just thinking if I were camping in the mountains it might not be easy to find a place to refill it vs a...

Congrats on the 3rd! We also have 3 kids 10,7,5. We almost always been tent campers. But man does that beget a ton of gear...big tent, bedding, chairs, coolers, clothes. I resorted to hauling stuff in our yard trailer.... We started our youngest camping in the NC mountains when she was about 5...

those may work, but are only in Australia I believe they also use a different spindle than is in the US... I found some adapter 6 lug to 5x150 on amazon....I will post if they work I plan to make a custom axle to the correct width

I bought one of the Fleetwood EVO1 trailers, it is light off road capable (metal vs fiberglass sides, and lifted) We used it a few times, but I sold it recently to fund other projects. It might be worth looking into a used one

I want to use landcruiser 100/200 wheels on my m101a1 trailer. I see that someone suggested 2nd gen Tacoma hubs and spindles to make an axle. I am trying to look at the parts online, but can someone who has more knowledge of the how the parts mate together tell me how to get the spindles onto...

Last month I picked up a Fleetwood Evo1 Evolution. Its a lifted popup, that is metal vs fiberglass (light duty off road) I am planning on rigging up my New LC 200 (lift, tires, bumper...the usual suspects) I had second thoughts when I saw a Hybrid type camper, and my buddy loves his Mercedes...

i tried to line these up best I could.... It almost looks like you are between 110 and 109 positions. I don't have the lower sills on, but it looks like I need to try and move it forward some

Look forward to the pics. This is the 109 on the 110 frame. I think I would be happy to compromise and split the difference. Bring the wheel forward 1-2 inches. I am looking into the Rovertym rear link that is a bit shorter than stock to bring wheel forward some. Once I weight this down, the...

I reviewed that info and spoke with the owner of "Blueboy" The owner said it is on a 110 frame. But, before I bought the project I hit up ECR for some advice. The ECR reply: "110 frames put the rear wheel in a goofy place as the 109 and 110 wheelbase difference makes the rear wheel placement...

I am looking to see what others have done with the project I have. I have a 109 Nada, that I am working on fitting onto a 110 frame. I set the body down with a nice fit. Of course the rear wheel is 3 inches to the rear and the front is not centered (not sure on this till I get the wings on)...

I am looking to purchase a stove and grill and have been reading reviews. Thinking about the following. 1. Snow Peak dual burner 2. Brunton Windy river 3. "basic" Coleman 2-3 burner units and put the extra funds into other gear 4. The coleman rendezvous seems applealing 30k Btu aluminum case...

Hate to have my second post be peddling stuff... But I have a D2 steering box in the garage that I don't need. I got it thinking it would fit the defender, and never got around to taking it back. I found a NIB one for my d90....
