From Front Runner! Easily readable, even at night. I'm not touching Amazon with a stick. ;) Amazon is not that popular in Sweden.

Here's the setup I'll run for this year. Previously only used boxes (Front Runner Wolf Pack & Cub Pack and some Peli 1510/1600 boxes) and it worked great for years, could never motivate the size and weight of a full drawer setup and i want access to my spare wheel (aux battery, electronics and...

Happy y'all made it out well! Just listened to your podcast with the Overland Journal podcast. Maybe we'll run in to each other in South America. Safe travels!

As the last post, this I'm way behind on updated. This took place in March of 2021. Episode 13 Costa Rica- Solving the battery issue and heading to La Fortuna and Arenal area of Costa Rica (and dropping the bike) Before my arrival in Costa Rica i had booked a service with a Suzuki shop online...

As the last post, this I'm way behind on updated. This took place in March of 2021. Episode 12 Costa Rica - Taking the motorcycle out of storage and trying to get it running The transit to Costa Rica was awful, I've never been fond of Lufthansa and never had a good experience, and this was...

I'm awful at updating this thread i feel. But better late than never. This took place in March of 2021 Episode 11 Preparing for another trip to Costa Rica to renew the storage permit and learning from my mistakes and getting soft panniers. A lot of things are happening in life. But at least...

Can confirm that they are in fact able to open 90 degrees with one side closed. They do seem more sturdy to sit on compared to the old Wolf Packs. As for the brackets, I can’t try them due to the fact that it was raining the other day and then froze so the slots in my front runner rack are...

I'll get my new pro boxes tomorrow, my biggest gripe with the old one's is not the latches (i rather like them), but the fact that i need to release all latches to open the box. The new one it's enough to just open one side and the lid can swing open. Also like the fact that they are water proof...

You'll have a blast! Enjoy and safe travels! Croatia is amazing.

As everything else, it's what you make of it. But you'd be fine on the tracks i drove. You can easily make it in a AWD Subaru. There were lots of off-shoot tracks that looked difficult, but the main (Trans Euro Trail) is rather easy.

Hi y'all. Been thinking about this for a while, does anyone run light duty winches (ATV winches) on their 4x4? I've seen it getting popular on some small vehicles like the Subarus and the Jimny. I have a Jeep WG (euro spec WJ) rated at 2500kg (~5500lbs) GVWR with a rear winch mount currently...

Episode 10 Trip updates and future plans. Hiking Hallandsleden, Sweden First of all, happy new year! Been a long time since i posted. Not much is happening due to the COVID situation. This is a short update on what's happening with me and the trip. The plan is to continue with the trip in the...

Map overvew: Balkan specifically: Montenegro only:

Thanks! I was just trying to download the GPX from Garmin (used a Garmin inReach to track the trip), but it seems Garmin is having some server problems. I'll make sure to post it when i have the file.
