Thank you! Thanks to everyone who has been giving us props or following along. It's not always easy to share the journey :). We made it to Patagonia, well the bottom tip of south America actually! Here is a pic from seeing Fitz Roy for the first time, while sunny yet still in sideways rain...

Thank you jjohnny! Keep up the vanlife !

I haven't seen torque. I think it only works on androids? Thanks for all the comments people!

Thanks T.Low :)

Wow guys thanks for all the great replies. I have a more detailed 13 page thread in the samba if you really want to how long each fix took :). All our updates are on Instagram and our website but I'll try to write something soon for expedition portal. I wish I had more time at all the places...

My girlfriend and I have put over 10000 miles on it so far.. Most of Baja we were caravaning with another Vanagon. We ran a propane bottle fed stove through the US and Canada but the struggles of finding propane coleman canisters($$$) and filling the below the bus tank led us to moving to a...

We decided, lets hit the road. We put a few hundred miles on her a packed up. We had already quit our jobs, we had to store all our stuff in Alaska. Interior came out pretty much how we wanted. You can see the Engel fridge in there. We added a rocket box in Seattle. This made the world...

We decided to use a Summit Racing generic heater, mounted it between the front seats. It's only 8" high so we could still walk through once we mounted a wood plate on top of it. We routed it through the stock piping in the dash so we have defrost. We also have one tube running forward toward our...

We ordered some conversion parts from the UK like the throttle body reverser and a modified throttle cable system. We drove the bus. It didn't like to stop. So we tore apart the brakes. Learning to rebuild every system became sort of fun, the deeper we got the more comfortable we felt...

We were 4 months into the build and losing steam. We felt in way over our heads with the body work alone. Now I was trying to figure out how to get the Subaru running correctly, had to find a bigger transmission and a bunch of other stuff. We wanted to leave on the trip, but hadn't really had...
