88 toyota hilux with new finch

[mntlion]

This is a right hand drive, 88, toyota hilux. 4 dr, 4wd, 2.4 diesel in it. I've had it for about 4 years now, and have wanted a camper for a while, but the falcon was too small, eagle too large (too much overhang), and ordering out of the states is a pain etc.
Then along came FWC canada, and the Finch

Truck "nakid"

attached, wired, etc

some of the backroads in Alberta, and BC. This is the marval pass area, back way into mnt assiniboin

well I have had it for a few months now, done a few more trips (transrockies bike race). mileage is down 20-30%. truck rides better (half ton) had a few issues, but Gary at FWC Canada has been great.
Just need to install a bike race for the spring, Ditching the table that came with it (using mine)

thanks for all the help, and ideas guys.

love to, but hard to find find any in banff, and with the cold weather, and very expensive to rent, or have storage


Do they have two gas tanks?
just one, 60 liter

what is your mpg?
without the camper 600-700km on a full tank
with a camper 400-500km

Looks good.
Cheers

thanks, been a long time coming.
