I think that HenryJ might be one of the more expedition-rigged crews on the site - He'd have to fill you in more on what types of terrains he deals with, but I know he apparently has a lot of desert-like terrain he drives.expeditionswest wrote:Thanks for the kind welcomes![]()
I seriously considered the Canyon in the double cab configuration before buying my Tacoma. The double cabs make for such great utility IMO.
So do any of you use the s-10 for extended OHV travel, like into Mexico, or on some of the longer tracks in the west (White Rim, El Camino Del Diablo, etc.)?
I risk life and limb to travel a forty mile stretch of the infamous garden state parkway five days a week. Does that count?expeditionswest wrote:So do any of you use the s-10 for extended OHV travel, like into Mexico, or on some of the longer tracks in the west (White Rim, El Camino Del Diablo, etc.)?

I know Henry (from another board). Good guy, and spends time on his modifications, looking for the best solution.adrenalnjunky wrote:

...I find myself really interested in your Isuzu - drive-train and suspension wise you can have less than a grand in the suspension, and are running a 33" tire - did you have to re-gear the vehicle, and if so , how hard was it to find parts for it? For an IFS rig it seems to be very capable for a minimum of modification.
I'd like to call mine an expedition vehicle, but it is not quite there. Maybe they never areadrenalnjunky wrote:...I think that HenryJ might be one of the more expedition-rigged crews on the site - He'd have to fill you in more on what types of terrains he deals with, but I know he apparently has a lot of desert-like terrain he drives...
