A little teaser of Greg's Land Cruiser, with the tires being test fit. Overall, the tires fit better than expected, although turning radius is certainly reduced. Fortunately, you can make big turns in Antarctica! There are still a few items that need to be installed, like the fiberglass fender...

The first shot of the Expeditions 7 Hilux emerging from the container in Cape Town. The Arctic Trucks team has been incredible, and are finalizing the Hilux while Paul and I finalize the Land Cruiser in Joburg.

Lots of work to Greg's VDJ78. We were fortunate to meet Paul Marsh earlier this year, and he is one of the world's foremost experts on Land Cruisers, with quite a bit of recent experience with arctic conditions (Driven to Extreme series). We are going through everything on the truck. Every...

Cam did an incredible job with this vehicle. I have enjoyed several adventure with it. The sound of the HEMI is intoxicating!

Thanks Timothy! I was planning to hit Taz this year, but will need to wait until next. We are thinking of doing a Cape York to Tasmania trip.

That seems to be life as of late. Fortunately, this is all stuff we worked with ARB engineers on and is pretty standard fare. First +100mm springs for a cruiser from OME and long shocks to match. . .

Thanks Zimm. Pretty intent on the 3L TD. I just need the time to participate in the swap. My first intention was to just have Thor do the swap, but I intend to use this truck in Baja and mainland Mexico, so I need to know how everything comes together and interfaces with the existing systems...

The container with the AT44 Hilux has arrived in Cape Town and along with it the wheels and AT405 38" tires for the VDJ78. The modifications are well in progress on the Land Cruiser and the tires are now fitted to the rear. A bit more work to the front, including some custom-wound 120mm OME...

Passing is the only thing I have found dangerous, and I typically have a passenger I trust. Otherwise, I have more miles in RHDs than LHDs over the past few years. I don't even notice anymore. I love driving our RHD Land Cruiser. So little power that passing is never a consideration ;)

Be safe Espen. Pretty good chance we will bump into each other.

From the open house this summer Waiting for me to get back for any length of time

It is sitting inside the office on a battery charger. Considering a diesel swap when I return from the South Pole.

Just making sure people are paying attention ;)

Such a relief to see a truck in a container at its destination! That feeling never gets old. . .

The Airstream is timeless. Always been a fan.

Working through the personal equipment for the trip, primarily clothing. It all fit in two med-sized duffles, along with the sleeping bag and tent. The manufactures listed are just what we chose. In some cases, our research resulted in a few different options. All of it laid out. Finding...

A Patrol and a HZJ76 does IMO.

Great suggestions all! We have decided to have a 50/50 mix of backpacking food for weight and volume, then 50% canned, fresh and frozen for the rest. Thanks!

You seem to be correct Zimmster. Interesting article. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130708-is-most-heat-lost-from-your-head Looks to be only about a 10% increase in heat loss through your head than any other similar surface area of skin. Most likely due to the vascularity and skin thickness...

On display at the SEMA show. People just love a Ural. It is fun to watch the crowd gather.
