    Mercedes Sprinter 311 4x4.. Hi

    Hi and welcome :) I dont know much about these, but they seem like a great platform for a build. Lots of interior space, and decent ground clearance. From time to time I see one locally here. It has larger tires and some extra lighting. Sort of looks like an overlanding vehicle, but I dont...

    Lighting up the Jeep

    Fantastic work! No butchering of the harness, and it looks stock. I love it :D

    Parasitic draw

    He probably meant if you have measured any amperage. Like stated; even if the amp has access to power, it does not mean it draws power. But a test lamp will not tell you that, you will need a proper instrument. Many cheap multimeters (but not all) will be able to measure current...

    My K9 SAR JKU 2.8 CRD

    THanks will look into that. Did not know they made ECE marked versions. The payload is actually lower, at 505 kg. Dont know why, but we do have some strange regulations for calculating payload. Thank you. Psychosquirrel's box would be great for my needs. However the crossbar for the rollbar...

    My K9 SAR JKU 2.8 CRD

    Now I have had the chance to live with the Jeep for a few very busy weeks. Not many pics I am afraid. But heres one from yesterday, when I stopped and took the dogs for a small hike. Hoping I will have the time to build a proper storage solution soon..

    My K9 SAR JKU 2.8 CRD

    The plans so far are mainly related to storage. The interior is a lot smaller than my previous car, so I need to maximize it. Most likely I will build a raised floor. Would also like a fold down tailgate Molle panel. In the front I will build/buy mounting brackets for my GPS, VHF radio and...

    My K9 SAR JKU 2.8 CRD

    Hi Yesterday I picked up my very first Jeep. Its a 2013 JKU Sahara with the 2.8 diesel, the engine that most european Wranglers have. Also, since I am located in Norway, the car is a bit different. The import taxes on cars here is quite extreme. But cars classified as cargo vans are...

    And now finally, part three of my journey: After a good nights sleep in a not so good campsite, I head towards North Cape. Its only a few hours away, and I start by crossing some plains. This is part of the Finnmark plains. Home of the Sami people, the native population of northern...

    Touring Norway, summer of 2010

    New day, and I start it by driving to Andenes, the only town on Andøy. Just before I enter the town, I also drive by Norways nerve center for our space program. The rocket field: Yes, that is actually all of it. The base nicely fits in one image with some nature as a bonus. I think the...

    Touring Norway, summer of 2010

    And now for... Part two Monday morning of the second week I woke up to beautiful weather after spending the night at a rest stop. Next to the parking area there was a lake with a tiny beach and pier that even included two boats free of use to any visitors. For some remarkable reason noone...

    Touring Norway, summer of 2010

    Next morning I woke up ready to start driving Gamle Strynefjellsveg (Old Strynefjells road). This was one of the very first things I decided I would like to see when planning the vacation. Its an old mountain pass built by hand around 100 years ago. Winding its way for 18 km's over...

    Touring Norway, summer of 2010

Now this is not an extreme or amazing trip, like many of the others on this forum. But it is the biggest one I have undertaken, and I enjoyed...

    GPS for dog

    So sad to read about your dogs. I lost mine on a camping trip too, 2 hours hike away from the car in bad weather. Luckily she was found again the next day. I also considered the Astro after that incident. The battery is what makes me hesitate. Thinking that it might give me false sense of...
