Hello all, I am looking for a set of OEM LC Alloy wheels from 93-97. I am in the DC area. I am willing to travel up to 300 miles. Do not have to be perfect. Please ask for Eric 571 999 3022

Up NOVA way. I work in the city. Yeah they went to pick up the truck in SA and my Afrikaaner friend in his defense was really trying to be righteous. He filled it up to the brim with gas. They would not take it with that much gas in it and told him. So they came back a week later and he had...

Here is the fat bastard with his little brother.

Well it has been a while. As I said in my last post my customs status in Zimbabwe made it easy to ship a truck to the US, but since the truck was in South Africa I ran into a little problem with the title transfer into my name. Had every little piece of paper needed to put it on the boat. But...

Well Dang it. Everyone assured me it was going to be fine. All said that when it was time to ship my truck I would have no problems getting it in my name in SA prior to shipping. Now the South Africans say since I am a resident of Zimbabwe I cannot register it in my name. They all want to...

Yeah, Whitey you bring up a good point. But with it being a LHD, and there are so many people who get RHD Troop carriers from OZ, I figure someone might jump on it since it is left hooker. If I had seen it 6 months ago, I would have bought it instead of my RHD HJ-47 gasser. But that just opens...

Daniel, That sounds right since it is quoting only 90 Horsepower.

OK Listen up, THIS IS NOT MY TRUCK. I have nothing to do with it, I just saw it on a German website. It is located in Southern France. It was first registered in 1979 and states it only has 70,000KM (43K miles). It is diesel so I guess from that info it is a 2H. I am guessing that is...

Vossie, Yeah Coimbra is the bomb. I work here, but am from the States. Been here 2 years, but did 3 years up in Central Africa before that. Had an 80 series that I took everywhere. Kigali to just below the South Sudan border, down to Kampala, over to Nairobi, down below Lake Victoria and...

Copy that. I will take a look at it and make sure. Suggestions on how? Get a bunch of friends to stand on the front bumper? I am open to any suggested methods. Thank you for your reply.

Vossie, I am here in Harare. I will be here for another 5 weeks before shipping out. I just read your build and looked at your truck. I also noticed on your profile that it says you sold it? OUCH! I was just over to Cruisers, (not Mr. Cruisers) over next to ZIMTOW in Masasa looking for some...

Always fun when you get something in the mail. My son just called and I got my new old stock euro mirrors. Super stoked. I was talking to Heinrich and told him I paid exactly half what is paid in the states for the mirrors and he guffawed and told me it was 6 times what he pays for the gray...

Thank you Cult45. I understand. 70s are a dime a dozen, and 60s are hard to find down here. I will wait til I am back in the US to do the swap. You said messy. What about functionality. Will it be dangerous until the swap?

Other progress shown below. Bumper on the rear is significant. Heavy and strong. I have an Aussie made spare swing arm off the back of my 100 series I don't use. It is the second spare on the back bumper, I have one underneath as well and I don't think I need seven tires on on vehicle...

So I have looked at a few of your blogs showing power steering upgrades. Heinrich has done several. I should have sat down with him and showed them to him. I am less than a novice at truck building, but when I saw the truck this time after being in Mozambique, I was a little confused as to...
