EPIC BUILD!!!. WELL DONE!!! U taking orders? How much does it weigh?(i may not have being paying much attention as i was drooling all over my screen)

At the moment, u can only travel as far as the nwt border IF the yukon lets u in. The road is in fair shape, and as long as ur tires are in very good shape, and pack a decent spare or 2, u will be fine. Gas and diesel are available at the dempster crnr, as long as u have a credit card. Next gas...

Have or make a bag/cover for travel. Wld keep it clean and dry

I am very curious about this. More so on the mpg side. Packing the weight on/in the vehicle will net u better economy. With a trailer u do have the option of leaving it at a campsite versus camp teardown. I'm planning a lengthy trip to the bottom of the planet and mpg is a definite concern, plus...

If u have any questions, feel free to post here. I live in whitehorse yt and drive truk up here.

Your fuel economy WILL suffer as it is all gravel. Generaly, most vehicles slow rite down so as not to throw rocks thru each others windshield. There are quite a few pull outs and gravel pits along the way that 1 could camp out at but park up wind from hiway as u will get dusted out. I will...

The dempster is 750 km's of gravel. (1 way)U WILL need tires in VERY good condition. A good all terrain will b fine. Make sure u have a full size spare in very good shape. U will need bug gear.( screen hat) B sure to have warm clothes including winter boots and coat as late aug and sept can see...

Webasto or espar.

Be carefull w/the 6.5. not a strong workhorse w/o some mods. Heath diesel is the place to chk out.

Complete axle.

I believe it is a 70 series truck. I dont have much to go on either as differential is sitting on a pallet outside a tire shop. Guy that owned said it was from a toyota truck. I did see 2 yota trucks w/built on campers from europe that had same lug bolt pattern.

A friend has a 5 lug toyota front diff. Will a 6 bolt lug hub fit on this diff? Or are the bearings n watnot different?

A recirculating style block heater coupled with an oil pan heater is best. I have used this system on my personal vehicles as well as semi-truks. I only need to have my heaters on for 1.5- 2 hrs even at -40. If u do decide to run them all nite, u will start ur vehicle and b at operating temp.

I too am having same dilemma. I have owned a couple import suv's, and am in the market for a truck. Really liked the size of my suv's and their trail capabilities. A taco, or kota i think would be good choices.(the kota would need more work to make it a good trail machine. Ie, SAS,) but their...

I personally haven't driven it yet. the guy who owns it says it's definitely slower even though he re-geared it .( I don't know yet what he re-geared to. Nissan v 6's aren't exactly powerhouses) I'm thinking that if I can get it cheaply enough, i would re-gear it. I'm playing phone tag with this...

Hey all. I'm looking at a hardbody p/u. wondering how well the front diff would hold up to 35" tires. truck is already lifted and fitted with these tires. I don't bash or rat my vehicles. I've owned a few troopers and a coupla montero's, and ran 35's on them with mild up grades.(93 trooper got...
