  1. How 'bout a little more info. What kind of glue? Was this applied over paneling? My "wood" paneling seems to have a wood grain vinyl finish, will wall paper stick to it? I like what you did. Mike

    Hi! I installed it right over the old wallpaper. I didn't used any glue, it was preglued wallpaper. it took me about 4 hours to install it correctly and taking care to stick it everywhere without bubbles of air.

  2. looks really clean. Nice rig. :)

    I agree that rear box thing is a bit ugly. It looks quite heavy too. But it is homemade which is always cool. Adding more stuff/weight to the rear doesn't seem necessary or desirable to me even tho I know a lot of ppl have carriers back there.

    it has been removed anyway.

  3. Took it home yesterday.

    Had to do 400 miles to get it home.

    We had 2 problems. First, it was undriveable over 45 miles/hour. Found out there was more than a pint of water in the front right tire. Now it's going GREAT!

    Second, there is an alternator problem not charging enough... we had to replace the battery in the engine after 175 miles. We stopped for gas and it wasn't starting anymore... we had enough power to get home...

    I'll have the alternator replaced soon and a good tune-up! It will be perfect condition! Everything else it working great.

    By the way, I removed that ugly wood cabinet on the rear bumper. It was rotting and getting loose and dangerous. I'll probably install a light plastic box there.

  4. Sorry Sir..

    Bad attempt at a joke. Back when I was a kid, there were pictures of rivers, streams , waterfalls that the water illustrated appeared to move . It was done by some sort of an electrical device in behind the picture. That particular picture on the wall of your rig reminded me of those. I was fascinated by the process back then.

    Sorry again at the attempt of humor.

    Ohhhhh ok, I get it! hahaha!! I'll replace that picture as soon as I have the Toy at my house... I'll get it on april 10th. I'll try to find what you're talking about and place it there! hahaha!

  5. Looks like you got a good deal?

    Where abouts are you located....I will be hosting a Toyota Rally in October in Central Illinois.

    Dennis...

    I'm from Québec, Canada... and yeah I think I got a good deal, I'll be posting lots of pictures when I'll have it at my house... it's still in the snow, I have to wait that all snow is gone away before going to take it to my house. SOrry for my bad english, I'm french-canadian.

  6. Chris--What part of Canada are you in. I'm in B.C. south of Vancouver.

    Looking for a motor home too. The best bet is in the U.S. since something magical happens when they hit our border and the price doubles.

    Steve

    I'm from Québec. And I'm french-canadian.... I'm not really as good as I would have to to go in the USA and buy a motorhome there... since english is not my first language, I'm not really at ease with dealing. I can write english quite not bad.... but when I'm talking it people look at me like I'm stupid... anyway...

    I've seen some in the us, yeah they're good looking and price is really good. But I found one over here that looks good and good price. I'm waiting for spring to try it on the road. it's a 1989 Odyssey 21 feet, 88000 km on it. They're asking 8000$ for it and I think I could get it for 7000$. What you think about that?

  7. I have an 86 toyo coachmen, i was worried about it.. but i just drove across country through the rockies with my 22re 4 cyl automatic. Ran fine, just take it slow, and if you have to and get a head start haha. No but seriously i was getting about 12 mpg in the rockies and didnt really have any trouble

    Nice, I was looking for that kind of answer! Thanks a lot!
