GPX track? Awesome photos and trip. Did you have the GPX tracklog of the route?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing

I've been doing a bit of research on the 120-Series as a base vehicle for #overland trips. Extremely popular in Australia (mostly as a Mum's taxi), available in the UK and branded as the Lexus in the USA. It's an extremely capable vehicle but lacks the personality to attract overlanders and...

The Sydney Overland Meetup took place on the 14th March with guest speakers Gareth and Kirsty (Aussie Overlanders) keeping us entertained. You can read the trip report on Overland Live. Here are a few interesting vehicles from the day: Land Cruiser 75-Series Troopy (full camper conversion with...

Matt - good timing. I was just about to remind people that Gareth & Kirsty from Aussie Overlanders will be talking on March 14th in Sydney. See http://overland-live.blogspot.com.au/p/overland-meetup-sydney-2015.html It will be a good chance to meet more like minded people. I will send out...

Thanks for sharing... Good stats on the fuel consumption...

Matt - I live in Sydney. Look forward to welcoming you. Where will you be living and working?

I received a response from Nerijus Strumila, the owner of the Jeep: We took Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2.8 CRD automatic transmission. I just put on BF Goodrich tires - that's it, no more modification had been made. Unlimited (means 4 doors) and you can make 200 cm bed in back of Jeep, so, no...

The website 'Lost in HDR' might be the very 1st overland travelers to use a Jeep Wranger to complete a crossing of the African Continent from North to South following the West Coast. The website is a blur on the sensors as the visually stunning HDR photos leap out at you... Each photo has a...

I thought the Land Rover community would love this story... 15 years after being rebuilt for a Trans-Africa overland journey and presumed lost to spare parts, this 1971 Land Rover Series IIA has reappeared! It was last seen in 2006 in Cairo after completing its fourth Cape to Cairo trip but...

Be sure to get plenty of ideas from the expo so that we can host one ourselves. Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
