I'm very much considering flying to Australia in early June, purchasing a 70 series Troopy and shipping it back to the US in late July. I was hoping that the Expo community could help me figure out...

I can attest to it being a great car. Got to drive it a few miles in Bacalar during the Maya Rally. Fast, fun and the suspension/tire setup is quite nice. Smokin' price as well!

Thanks for sharing the shots. Such a cool rig! I'm itching to get out on a proper trail run in Moab next time I'm out that way. Have done some sick mountain biking and desert offroading in the...

Don't think I'll be getting a JK, but getting rid of the van is a good possibility. I love that thing though!

That tire material can't be light! Looked good and is probably durable though. I...

Jeeps took over this year at SEMA. I think I managed to get a shot of every one.
