I use a 5wt switch for pinks and have caught a few larger ones and have had no issues.as well I caught a 10 lbs coho that was in the mix with the pinks this year and had no issues . Bring as many rods and reels as you can get in there ,then you can try a few different set ups.do you build your...

How much does the land cruiser weigh now .curious I weighed my Chinook the other day it was just over 4000 lbs.whats the gvw for a 80 series? I was thinking of doing the same thing before I did the Chinook conversion like you did previously i can relate on space issues in the nooks .

Put the Chinook body on a second gen 4x4 and do the Merc diesel swap on it .best thing I've ever done to make an all purpose truck

i dont have a build thread although ive taken a few photos . the diesel swap is going well ,my old 22r had seen alot of kms and the fuel mileage was bad .i used the 4x4 labs adapter to mate the om617 to the toy trans .ive been doing this project in chunks .did the chinook swap last winter...

i was thinking of replacing my old horizontal tank [driverside behind rear wheel ] with 2 20lbs upright by cutting out the floor and making a hinge style bottom to put the tanks in. some older 80s cadilac/chevy caprice cars that were taxis had smaller tanks under trunks that might work.this is...

I'm interested to see what you come up with as I'll probably be doing an interior Reno on mine next winter .what is the measurement of that propane tank?

I too only have non restricted Firearms.ive often wonder if you would get hassled if you did have any restricted fire arms like random truck checks when your plate gets run?

Totally agree with you,but on one occasion I had a guy trying to open my camper door at 3am . We were about 100 km from the nearest town and no one was camping there .i told him to leave and he kept at the door to the camper so I opened the door showed him the shotty he left.people usually are...

You can take a rifle with you in the bush but before you you are allowed to you have to take a course.then you get a licence to have firearms.hand guns are basically only allowed at ranges . I take something with me on most of my trips .i have had encounters that I was happy I had something

I have a lot of bears an other critters where I fly fish during spawning season .we cannot carry side arms but a defender style shotgun (short barrel) works well. We have tons of outdoor things to do around here ,no end to hunting and fishing.

how did this truck work out ?

I've had a few of these winches in the past .costo does have a great return policy but that doesn't help get your truck out of the woods.it like playing Russian roulette using those champion winches.

I've got a second gen toyota 4x4 with a Chinook pop up body on the back. I works for me and is a cheap way to get into a low profile camper.if you could cut the weight in half you could probably use this set up.i am purchasing a om617 in the next few days for it ,it's a cheap diesel solution as...

I was quite surprised myself.i was in when I weighed it as well with some tools and other crap
