Fantastic! Look forward to seeing the images.

We made it to 14,000+ feet in the Andes and settled on a campsite at just over 13,000 feet. So beautiful I think everyone needs to travel off a motorcycle, at least once. You realize that most of the crap we bring in the trucks is entirely unnecessary. I was completely self-sufficient with all...

They are not complete crap. I have owned tons of them. Are they less reliable than a Land Cruiser? Of course. If you are looking for durability and reliability in a Land Rover, buy a 200 or 300 Tdi Defender. The one we have has been nearly flawless, certainly on par reliability-wise with our...

I believe it is just an unnecessary compromise to achieve a desired appearance. The weight of the tire alone requires extensive bracing and structure within the hood. The tight clearance to the 4.0L would make that impossible. Good luck :)

Sad news. Rest in Peace

Kind of a bad idea, for several reasons. The most important is visibility. Even with a 7.5XZL on my Defender, it obscures the driver's view slightly. An 8.25 is about the max

There is something about a sketchy cable/plank bridge that just brings a smile to my face :) Peru, moving up into the Andes from the coast

Much worse. It is an engine from their smaller cars in a vehicle that weighs more than your 80. My G320 has nearly twice the horsepower (with the AMG head and Brabus bits) and it is just adequate for NA travel. Talk to Tim at Mastodon. He always has cool Gs in the inventory or on the water.

With the wheel repaired, it was off to Peru. This proved to be a bit of a challenge, principally at the border. Peru has taken this stance where only the 'owner' of the vehicle can temporarily import it. Normally, you can bring in borrowed or rented vehicles with a letter of authorization...

Honestly, the 230 is painfully underpowered. Off-road, low range is required for even the most benign challenge. I drove one all over South Africa and Lesotho and loved it, but driving one in North America would be torture (for both you and the truck). 2.3L normally aspirated 4-cyl gas engine...

Enjoy Karl! Your G still looks great

Curious your thoughts on this, as I own a G320 and have spent a lot of time driving a G500. I have found no noticeable difference in ride. Regarding drive, the only notable change is the power difference and extra transmission cog.

Riding at night in Ecuador, I slammed into a small (open) manhole in the road. I never saw it, the dark road and dark hole obscured, no help from my fatigue and the headlights of oncoming traffic. BAM, followed very quickly by the TPMS alerting me of rapidly escaping air. I kept it upright and...

An Ecuadorian woman crosses the vast altiplano in southern Ecuador with her dog and donkey.

Made it to the Equator in Ecuador. A much different experience than the same in Kenya. This was an amusement park- nearly

Another shot from the market in Otavalo. The people were amazing and the prices were shockingly cheap.

A wonderful woman in the Otavalo market, Ecuador

My good friend Tiberios getting after it on the dirt in Ecuador

From the rider's seat ;) Too much fun

We just happened to find a racetrack in Ecuador ;)
