I'm flattered that you'd have me, Ed! If I weren't trying to get this house built we'd be all over it! How about this: Why don't you use this opportunity as a scouting trip for Alaska-Mexico Land Rover Adventure 2014? It's still a dream of mine to wallow down a jungle track and I'd sure like...

I wish this was any other winter and I'd be going with you! Fortunately, while the Mayans may have been avauntgarde astronomers, I don't have any reason to suspect they had any real prophetic gift. I strongly suspect there will be opportunities beyond 2012 for cool trips! My comment is in...

That's a very nice compliment but you can really do a lot better than expo for Series Land Rover advice and information. We're more about how to accessorize the used Discovery we just picked up cheap. Best of luck to your buddy!! It's a love/hate thing... in a good way.

Thanks, Lstrvr. After a discouraging setback we're getting ready to press forward again. For all three of you who are following along and wondering where we went we finally updated last night with two new posts.. the second one down explaining the trouble- http://alaskanrambler.wordpress.com/

Yesterday was what it's all about! We left Alamos by back road.. that means dusty cow trail.. We encountered a few little adobe pueblos that probably haven't seen a white face in ...??? The stooped over little indian women were friendly but not too good with directions since they may have...

Trying to get some updates to the travel blog published now.. on an excruciatingly slow connection. We're in Alamos and, when we're done with the internet we hope to drive on to El Fuerte for tonight! All's well!!

Interesting. We are still in SLC. What kind of time would it take to see this area? We might think about it for the way back.. we're anxious to make it to warmer areas right now.. but we will probably need to come home this way so... Thanks for thinking of us! Josh

Nice to "see" you here, Ed. The Rover is running quite well. I'm really happy with it actually. You remember how I ran the fuel return to that front tank-- It's returning so much fuel I have to watch that it doesn't fill, and overflow, that tank when I'm running off the rear!! Can you...

If you're interested in following another trip-- http://alaskanrambler.wordpress.com/ We left from our home in Alaska over a week ago. In NV today and working our way south. Thanks to all who've given inspiration and support to this trip.

We'll keep an eye out for you.. though you've got a bit of a jump on us. We'll be leaving for Mexico from our home in Alaska shortly after the new year in our 1970 109. Take care and enjoy!

Really enjoying following your guy's trip. Nice job on the blog.

This is a real service Tim has graciously provided us. A lot of his personal time and trouble has obviously gone in. He seems happy to be doing this for us but he shouldn't have to come out PAYING out of his pocket to do us this favor. Everyone should cough up a few bucks for Tim here. In...

Go ahead and post them up with "in French" or "in German" in parenthesis. If I just had a couple of minutes for some quick travel inspiration I'd probably pass them up.. but then come back to them at a later date when I had more time to glean what I could. I know that www.ihana.com happened...

Am I too late to get in? I'd take one. I'll send a PM too.. Thank you for your efforts on this!! Kind regards, Josh

Well they made it to Alaska. Spotted last night in the REI parking lot in Anchorage.

From caption of first photo: "Rear axle broke at 90km/h after hitting a massive pothole. " I guess any axle would break if the speed was high enough and the pothole big enough. Something will anyway. They were plenty loaded too. Spare on roof, and back door, as well as quite a few jerry cans...

http://www.lonewolftransglobal.co.uk/LoneWolf.htm Here's a kid who bought one and traveled around the world in it. He started the trip with a few of his friends piled in the back like cord wood. And no windows. They went home early..?? I imagine they're linked off of his site somewhere but...

You're not kidding! I told my wife about it and she laughed herself silly:D

Guess you haven't used your winch yet?

Well posting a thread here on PoPo asking people to "help" review your online store shows pretty savvy and creative marketing. I'd say continue to use free advertising banners wherever you can. Keep up the good work-- Josh
