Over the last month, we have featured a few articles about the Fiat Campagnola here and here. But what the heck is a Fiat Campagnola? For lack of better terms, it is Fiat’s answer to the Jeep. The first version, produced from 1951 through to 1974, only had a 88.6″ wheelbase and was 58.3″ wide. It was powered by either a gasoline or diesel four cylinder engine. The Campagnola was redesigned for launch in June 1974 and was produced in this form produced until 1987. Apparently there is very few Fiat Campagnola in North America. Have you ever seen one in person?

Imagine surfing through Craigslist and coming across a 1966 Jeep J3000 truck with an Alaskan camper. Of course, there is no photo. A quick phone call and the owner states that although it has 137,000 miles, it is pretty clean and in good shape overall. You know, the standard little old lady drove it only on Sundays story.

Why This Job Is Not A Job!
We are actively looking for authors to research and write articles for Off Road Action. We are looking for people that have an interest in vintage vehicles and love talking about them. Each staff member has their own areas of specialty and we are looking to expand our knowledge base.

We are working on reimbursing our authors, but need for the advertising income to become a little larger first.
Storm Warning Monster Truck Photos & Information
Last month, we posted an article asking for information on the Storm Warning monster truck. Ron Bulson, owner and builder of Storm Warning, contacted us with some information and photos of the truck in its prime.
This is my second truck. The first was called Instigator a 1979 Ford Bronco. We started building Storm Warning in 1991. I ran the truck until 1996. I sold it to John Seasock in 1996 an he renamed it Sudden Impact. I mostly ran on the east coast an Canada. The truck was a tubular frame with extra long leaf springs with four shocks on each side. Rockwell 106 axles with 20 ton planetary knuckles with disc brakes. Front and rear steer, Goodyear 66 inch tires. The engine was a 1971 429 cobra jet bored and stroked to a 514. Tunnel ram with two predator carburetors back by a C6 transmission to a profab transfer case. A 1992 fiberglass body. The truck worked real well. The truck landed with no bounce and was quick because of it light weight. I’ll get some more picture to you soon.
Restored Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45LV Troopy For Sale
If you have been following this blog for a while, you know from our past articles on FJ45 Troopy’s that they are pretty rare in North America. As with any Toyota Land Cruiser, they tend to get eaten by rust. The restoration of this Land Cruiser for sale in Bend, Oregon appears be of great quality…of which the $39,500 price also dictates. As mentioned on Bring A Trailer, the engine has been swapped to a later 2F model. We tend to agree with them on changing the tires over to BFG all terrain or mud terrains. They seem to suit these unique vehicles a little better. Regardless, this is an excellant example of a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy.
