Back in May, we featured an Internation Scout II that had a pop top Four Wheel Camper. We decided to go back to the original thread on Expedition Portal where we discovered this diamond in the rough. It turns out that the owner has made a lot of progress on both the camper and the Scout. I do have to say that I am damn impressed with how everything turned out! What do you think? Do you like the concept of a SUV with a pop top camper?
Another great photo of a Willys Jeep working on the farm. Can anyone tell me what the things above the rear tire. Perhaps soft top bows? Via Vintage Military Trucks.com
Do you remember the Orange Blossom Special pulling truck? It was probably the most popular pulling truck from the 80’s and 90’s. I remember seeing the photo above in a magazine and falling in love with it. I guess even back then I loved the old school trucks. I am not sure what it was about the truck that made me love it so much. Since it was one of the few pulling trucks that had toy versions, I imagine I was not the only one that adored it. They now have a new Orange Blossom Special Facebook page and are posting old photos and videos of the 2wd and 4wd pull trucks, along with the train tank monster. What is your favourite memory of the Orange Blossom Special?
Check out this old photo of the Instigator monster truck. I love the coil springs in addition to the leaf spring suspension. Due to the steel body, suspension design and centre mount seat and rollcage design, I am guessing that this photo is from the early 90’s. What do you think? Do you have more photos of the Instigator monster truck?

Jeep trucks have always been one of my favourites, especially the desert racing Jeep Honcho’s! I remember reading the off road magazines when I was a kid and daydreaming about Roger Mears red Budweiser sponsored Jeep race truck. Thanks to the members of Race Dezert for posting these photos up!
Here is a restored military fire truck. I am not very good with the older army trucks…what make is this? Chevrolet? Studebaker?
Those of you that have been reading Off Road Action for a while will recall the early 1966 to 1977 Ford Bronco with Four Wheel Camper poptop camper articles that we did over the summer. We found this barn find 1966 Ford Bronco with a non pop top camper. Finding an early bronco that has uncut rear wheel wells and only 55,000 original miles is a bit of rarity, but finding one that also has a camper on the back is unheard of! We have emailed the owner asking for larger photos as well as a few camper interior shots. We are also interested in the different styling of the winch that is mounted on the front bumper. Frankly, someone needs to purchase this and restore it. We will even give the new owner a place on the website to document the restoration! Will you be the new owner?
This article we posted back in the summer about a Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy for sale is still popular. However, I think I like this 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Troopy even better. Maybe it is the pop up tent that I like, because it is definatly not the colour. The left hand drive is definatly interesting. I wonder how long it would take to get used to driving it? I would prefer it to have a diesel engine, but the stock 2F runs on both gasoline and propane. That should help out the fuel milage a little
Last month, we featured a 1956 Fiat Campagnola 4×4 that was for sale. At the time, the owner mentioned that he thought it was the only one in the USA. Since then, Off Road Action reader John Richardson sent us a photo of his Fiat Campagnola. It turns out that he lives less than 20 minutes from the owner of the other Fiat Campagnola! Richardson has put a lot of blood, sweat and tears (or is that beers?) into his Campagnola, but he attibutes that to the simple fact of owning a Fiat. We intend to do another article with more information about this unique vehicle. While it is rare to see one in North America, there seems to be a fair number of them in Europe. This probably stems from the fact that they were produced from 1951 to 1973 without any major changes. The Neuva Campagnola was an updated version that was manufactured from 1974 to 1987. So, has anyone else seen one in North America?
This baby blue uncut 1966 Ford Bronco needs a little work here and there, but overall is in pretty good shape. As per the photos on the ebay ad, there is some surface rust here and there, but when you consider that the early Bronco is 44 years old, it is in pretty damn good shape for an unrestored vehicle.
