Hello, Well, I just bought a 1990 Odyssey Star Lite, V-6. While researching I came across this site and found a couple of discussions on this particular Odyssey model, but they were dated 2018ish. I am wondering if anybody out there in the Odyssey universe has any new info on these. The Googles is surprisingly barren of info. Cheers!

Hi. I am looking at a 1978 Toyota Hilux that someone swapped out the cabin (unknown type) with a Chinook. The cabin needs to be completely remodeled/refurbished. I am up for it, but I have a question regarding the access point for the spare tire. This Chinook does not have a "door" for the opening. Is that how all Chinooks were, no covering in the cabin over the spare tire access? Seller said that is how the Chinooks were made. I have included photos of the cabin with a black arrow pointing out the opening I am talking about. Wouldn't there be an issue of exhaust entering the cabin? Also, anyone know where to purchase a replacement canopy for the pop top and approximate cost? I am in San Diego County. Thank you for any and all advice!

Hi all! I have a 77 Chinook with external latches for the pop top roof. The piece attached to the roof was mounted on wood which has become rotted. I found this out the hard way while driving on the highway yesterday. The latch pulled free from the mounting piece and the front end of my roof lifted about a foot at 60mph! I pulled over immediately but it was too late. Of course its can't be just a matter of fixing the latch because I now have two bent arms (one on each side) on the scissor spring hinges that push the roof up. It is the arm mounted in the front leading back to the roof slider that is bent downward making it impossible to close fully in the front or even pop up fully in the rear. Has anyone had to work on these? Does anyone have a set for sale or know where to look? Any ideas on straightening the arm without taking the whole thing apart? I'm really at a loss here and cant drive (my daily vehicle) in this condition. Please someone help me figure this out.
