Thank you and will do. I always get beer lag when I cross the border = adjusting to Molson and Labbatts being the cheapo domestics and Budweiser and Miller being the expensive imports! Great pics again!
A little more info - A couple South African guys replied to a Facebook post I made in their Land Cruiser group. Apparently if a vehicle with a speedo/odo in miles is imported, it's *not* a requirement for any kind of inspection for it to have a...
Yessir! I’m actually moving this spring and my new place will be about 15 minutes away from Oak Island.
I was always interested in it as a kid too, and their show re-ignited my interest and I’ve binge watched a lot of it. The re-hashing gets...
The extra swing out is spoken for unfortunately! An aircraft mechanic friend of mine made a set of braces out of titanium and carbon fibre 😳
It doesn’t have either of those! It did have a centre console fridge, but some forensics revealed that...
The tire carrier is actually a Kaymar, interestingly enough. I have an OEM swing out I was gonna put on but the Kaymar is frame mounted and I like it.

1 - factory rear swing out
coupled with
2 - fender flares
in a 1991 year model
What you have there I believe is (what ultimately turned out to be) a bonafide Canadian spec mounty.
Kinda like the Canadian import SKS's...
Yeah, that struck me as weird too. That fender also appears to have had a quarter panel indicator hole that was welded in, and there’s some evidence of paint work on that side. It’s a non-op antenna, maybe someone replaced the fender with a...
I can second (third?) this. 3FE with a 5 speed rocks. Still not a powerhouse, but moves around respectably and cruises easily at whatever speed on the highway. I rarely downshift on hills even with mods listed below. Tows a 3000lb trailer...
I cannot speak for anyone else, but I chose to delete EGR to increase the simplicity of the truck and to free up real estate in the engine bay.
I would have deleted it regardless of symptoms even if EGR had been functioning perfectly.
Calling all 80 series forensic specialists.
I bought this 80 about a year ago that had been imported from South Africa, and would really like to know more about its history. I’m hoping some of you might recognize certain features and be able to...
