We actually did that road trip last summer in a Honda Odyssey... 2 adults 3 kids, camping all the way from Montreal to Whitehorse. Great trip! Went salmon fishing in Haines, AK, one of my favourite places in AK with Homer.
I know it is the same law for import... but in Canada, I think only...
Makes no difference to be here... would you drive it to Alaska from the east coast just to get it registered and then drive it back home? wait.... I guess I would do it.... nevermind...
I hate the Quebec gov. for banning RHD vehicles... I should've stayed in the Yukon... actually, I could register it there and drive it anywhere... like I do with my old 91 audi 200 tq avant.
I am missing cruisers too much I guess...
If anyone wanted to convert one to LHD, are the parts easy to find from other 70?
I would be looking at what kind of price range for a conversion?
I saw the few posts/threads about LHD conversion on the 70's forum and was wondering if anyone was offering this service...
Cheers

why going through all this trouble rebuilding the frame/chassis when you have an engine that probably needs a rebuild too? Is this the main reason for the sale? I have been looking for a truck like this for a long time.
I drove the truck for a year, it was a great rig.
He probably put down a lot of cash on it, but even if it is expensive, it is one hell of a camper truck.
The truck was outfitted originally to do the Trans americas trip (Argentina to Alaska) by a couple of Austrians, from whom I bought the...
This guy is crazy to ask such a price...

It was posted on this forum for many months before this guy bought it. Seems like...
the shop is actually working on replacing mine right now with CDan's parts, the tech said it is a hell of a job, but he figured out a way to do it without dropping the tranny...
I'll go check it out in a couple of hours...
I haven't touched my sunroof since last October/Nov and this thing just started a couple of days ago. On the other hand, I drove it this morning and there was no noise... beats me
Hi,
Since yesterday, every time I open the door of the cruiser to go somewhere, I can hear the beeeeping sound of when the key is in the ignition and the door open, but not as loud as when the key is there.
It happened a few times in the past where I removed the key quickly and the beep...
new cats setup
Here it is with the Magnaflow cats...
view from the side, it is much higher.
view from the entire thing. They actually welded between the two cats instead of putting another joint.
Instant power came back!!
Thanks for your help

Well, I ordered the two cats (Magnaflow) and got the gaskets replaced all the way from the manifold to the tip and my cruiser is back!!
Acceleration is better than ever and I gained a couple of inches of clearance compared to the stock setup.
Couldn't be better...
Thanks for all your...
Well,
lately, since this problem started to get worse, my vacuum hose under the modulator linking to the EGR cracked and it took a while for me to get it ordered and replaced. Once it got in, I put it in, 2 hours later the vacuum noise came back... I looked under the hood, thinking one side...
Here's what my cats look like...:eek:
the mech took some parts out when he opened the thing...
no wonder air is not passing through.
thanks for the advice for the rest.

back from the shop...
ouch, this one is going to hurt...
I'll post pics later tonight of the inside of the cats, but it is not only clogged, it has completely MELTED in many places!!
Here is the list my mechanic is suggesting (this is not a toy dealership, not a parts seller either) ...
cats clogged up
Dan, seems like you were right. My mechanic says both my cats are so clogged up this thing can hardly breathe...
I think I'll feed CDan's dogs again...
There are some more stuff I'll know in a few hours here.
I'll keep you posted.
