    2009 Troopy finally in Canada (Tire Question!)

    I have a set of the split rims. They are quite different from the "widow makers" used on older US trucks. Totally safe to do a tire change yourself. Glad that Ens came through at such reasonable prices. I would think the only disadvantage of the splits is the weight and the fact that you need...

    2009 Troopy finally in Canada (Tire Question!)

    There are a few mining supply companies in Canada that buy and modify 70 series for the mining industry. They often have new take-off parts that they will sell, like wheels and truck boxes. Ens out of Sask. rings a bell. Where in NS are you. Fly out to Halifax for two weeks tonight. Got friends...

    Things to look out for in an HJ45

    I'm sure it is a well running and reliable truck. But it is far from stock. Pretty sure the rear springs and semi-floating rear end didn't come with the truck from the factory and are unlike what came from the factory. 45s are rated at 1 ton IIRC. Heater is not Toyota, electric steering is not...

    Is the forum infected?

    Thanks for the tip, but because I have been a member for so long Woody doesn't plague me with ads. It is obvious that somewhere in the backend the adware is present and my Bitdefender software can see it. I have told Bitdefender to exempt the adware so this is no longer a problem for me.

    Is the forum infected?

    I am logged in. I think Bitdefender doesn't like the certificate but gives me the option to accept it as is.. But it sound like the URL is legit so I'll accept it. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

    Is the forum infected?

    The URL that Bitdefender doesn't like is affiliate-cdn.raptive.com It is a site owned by CMI Marketing. @woody do you use CMI?

    Fj40 body on Bj42 chassis

    Slap on the wrist I deserve. I didn't consider the difference in years.

    Fj40 body on Bj42 chassis

    I'd be willing to bet they are almost identical bodies. The difference being a few brackets (no coil in the BJ) and hose/pipe clips.

    Is the forum infected?

    Hey Woody, I've been getting this message from my virus protection while using the forum. Specifically the 45 Clubhouse. MSEdge is my browser, but I would expect MS to have their certificates in order.

    Tailgate Construction

    I like the rear bumper. But how do you get to your spare tire winch? Where did you get the round reflectors? I need one.

    Tailgate Construction

    I've had the parts to make a new tailgate for years and am finally going to do it. So there are a few pieces I'll be taking of the old tailgate. Two of those are gate latches and the chain hooks. They are fixed to the tailgate with two big Phillips bolts, and a weld along the top. It seems a...

    FJ45V restoration in Kenya / colors for a 1966 model

    Very nice looking LV. What's on the roof? Or is it something that is behind the truck?
