This is the Camel...a spartan, no-frills, bone-stock '86 Hilux 22RE 4x4 long bed single cab, with a gardener's rack for surfboards, cheapo AT's, and an affable demeanor.

Nice truck. I think my "SUper Turtle" would love to meet your "Camel" (perfect name BTW) ... Just shows what you can do with a nearly bone-stock Toyota. Love it mate. Keep on exploring...

Beauty of a truck mate. Looks like my trucks twin eh (except mine doesn't have the stripes)... Gotta love those 1st Gen 4Runners, far and away one of the coolest, toughest 4x4's ever brought to our shores (N.America) Love the truck... BRING ON MORE PICS OF'ER

Cheers

When I reached the last switchback in the Tacoma, I got out and was up to my waist! It was deceiving because the Tacoma floats above the first 1' to 1.5' of snow. :26_7_2:

Hey Freeze, how are the uni-balls holding up in the harsh winters up there?

I live in Wisconsin and they use a lot of salt/beet juice and sand and was wondering if the uni-balls would hold up vs. ball joints that are well protected?

I could design a boot for the uni-balls but just wondering. I have a 2010 Tacoma AC with mods listed below...

Hey that's a great question..

They really don't like the weather here. I usually change them every spring. I also think it's from the wet salty roads, over night it'll freeze inside the cup, then first crank of the steering wheel it messes up the teflon inside. The steering heims last for two years. The suspension balls last for about 1.2 years.

Working on a solution would be most excellent! There's a dust shield that you can get for them but they're really not that great for moisture. Some sort of gore-tex bootie would be great. Just trying to figure out how to get it to seal up and not get ripped up from all the travel.
