Hi, i was very active on here about 10 years ago when I built my custom camper. I put a Shadow Cruiser truck camper on an Isuzu NPR flatbed. There is a complete build history in the Isuzu/Japanese truck forum. It has served me well and have been living and traveling in it for over 9 years now...

I need some help from you experienced Isuzu owners/mechs. My 2001 NPR has 78,800 miles on it and just recently it started making unusual noises. It started as a whistling noise when I would accelerate or was pulling a little harder, not at a steady speed on level ground. As soon as I would let...

Anybody know about these bikes? Any good? I can't afford a good name brand bike. Looking for a good basic bike for cross country mtn biking, nothing super technical but love a tight twisty course. bikesdirect.com sells the Gravity FSX 1.0 for $330, including free shipping. I have never heard of...

SOLD on Craigslist - Minneapolis Very clean 4x4 with automatic, leather interior, CD player, alloy wheels, new Goodyear tires and just turned over 40,000 miles yesterday. I was living out of the country most of the time since I bought the car so it has been stored most of the time and mainly...

I just drove my camper from Florida to Minnesota and didn't have time to go slow and sight see, so was on freeways most of the way. I can cruise at 60 or 65 with my Isuzu NPR camper but the fuel mileage is terrible, especially if there is a head wind, so I drove 55 mph almost the whole way (2000...

When I saw the warning on the last line, I laughed for about 5 minutes!

Well the time has come to start my build thread. I've got about 9 days left here in Peru, flying to Miami on March 1st. If you are interested in any background to this, please see my previous preliminary planning thread. I have my truck, a 2001 NPR HD, 5 speed diesel, the truck camper, a 1990...

There are a bunch of cheap rechargeable flashlights available here in Peru, I assume they are made in China. I have not been able to find anything like them on the web and am wondering if they are available in the U.S. The latest ones I bought are Opalux brand, but they are sold under other...

Just did a search and didn't find anything about this here so will post it - I think it qualifies as an expedition! "Roei "Jinji" Sadan, 27, with his bright red beard and easy, raspy laugh, may not seem like Israel's most likely ambassador to small Andean villages in Peru or tribal chiefs in...

This seems to be the closest place to post this, sorry if it should be some place else. A while ago, in a link to another site, the guy mentioned Ryobi tools and was really promoting them. I am getting close to purchasing my truck (hopefully) and decided to check out what Home Depot has...

Just saw this while looking for truck campers, not sure if it has been posted here before or not. It is a truck camper factory made for a flatbed truck. I know some do it as special orders, but this is a regular production model. http://www.northstarcampers.com/Escape_Pod.asp

Does, or did, anyone make a truck camper, without a cab over bed. I'm trying to find a basic 8' to 9' truck camper (not just a shell) that has a bed (bunks OK), table, stove top, small fridge, no bathroom, stand up room (not a pop up). Does such a thing exist? Thanks, Vic

After have two flat tires on my last trip to Cotahuasi (about 125 Km of rough gravel road, up to 15,000 feet elevation), I have been giving a bit more thought to spares! What do you do use with a truck like a Fuso FG or an Isuzu NPR? Do you normally carry two separate spares or trust that you...

Does anyone have a good source for reasonably priced, good tool boxes to mount under the box or bed of a truck? I'm looking to mount a camping trailer on an Isuzu NPR, like Carl Hunter's FG/Bigfoot camper, and am looking for storage boxes to mount under it? This is the best deal I have found...

I'm wondering about towing a Samurai behind a expo motorhome. Looking for something smaller and lighter than my CRV, as well as something that will get me farther out into the boonies (in the U.S. only). Is it possible to tow one with all four wheels on the ground, or best to use a tow dolly...
