So that's where that trail mix went! Haha, that's awesome, Jeff, I'm happy it's found a good home. Squamish is a good playground for that rig and it sounds like you'll be the ideal driver. I'm still kinda sad to see it go, but we ended up getting a new Highlander Hybrid, so we're still with...

Thanks Brad. Yeah, I was a bit surprised too, but I do have a connection at the dealership, it is a great rig, and we worked it into a purchase. I'm going to definitely watch their used sales to see their price tag!

SOLD ... to Nanaimo Toyota.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/337065-1990-hdj81-vx-ltd.html ..... price drop to $19K OBO while we're in town.

Price drop! We're more or less taking this rig off the market for the winter and will try to sell it again in the spring. We'll probably put a bit of work and money into it in the meantime as well, partly for ourselves, and partly for the sale. BUT .... I will drop the price down to $19K OBO...

Hi all you V. Islanders. I'm selling my rig and because I used to live down on the island and could be persuaded to come down in the event of a sale, I'm posting a link here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/337065-1990-hdj81-vx-ltd.html

Ok, I'm ridiculously reluctant to do this ... but here goes. I'm selling my rig. This was Martin White's rig before I bought it off him a couple of years ago. He babied it beyond belief (read the posts) as did I, as did the original Japanese owner. This, my friends, is as good as one of these...

Thanks, I'll check him out.

Any 3rd row seats out there?

Hey, I need to get 3rd row seats with brackets and seat belts and all - got a second kid on the way! I've got a line on seats with belts but no brackets here in BC for around $300, so if you can beat that (including shipping) or have just the brackets I can buy, that'd be great. Oh yeah - my...

Ok, I'll post some pics tomorrow. Just got back to the island and it's been driving perfectly.

Ok, I feel a bit sheepish now. It was the track bar - the adjusting nut in the middle was jarred loose and just needed to be reset to the middle and tightened up. Good to go now. Thanks for all the comments. Matt

Yeah I just talked to another mechanically-minded friend, and he said much the same.... I guess I'll take it in on Monday. Stranded in Prince George... :p Good to know it's not the tie rod, though I do have one on the way up from John at Rocky Mt Imports! Oh well, I guess I'll return it to him...
