The old summer road to the Pole of Cold requires 4wd. That is the last 170 miles or so. The first water crossing kills several locals per year. A family died just a few weeks before we crossed. The old bridge, long since washed away by the main flow of the river.

I would not consider anything less than a Cross-Fire 2 level of protection for the dirt. I learned the hard way that some of these hybrid boots are just not suitable for the dirt for real protection. I banged up my foot pretty good (metatarsal) on a low-speed crash in a set of Sidi Adventures...

I would thank Mr. Roy, Mr. Lombardo and Mr. Hiscox. Most of the systems have been significantly improved since my time with her. My only notable contribution was to the suspension. Enjoy the trip south. Depending on when you leave, I might bump into you on my way north from Ushuaia (will be...

Awesome - she already knows half the route by heart. At least the Arctic Ocean to Darien Gap portion :)

Welcome! There is a lot of love for Australia on this site. Look forward to seeing a few pictures of the Land Cruiser

Sweet

awesome trip report. Lots of smiles in the photographs - perfect.

This is a great trip. One of the participants (lead driver and mechanic) Gisli is a personal friend from Iceland. We were able to provide some logistics support from our recent trip to the Pole of Cold last fall. They are in for one fantastic adventure!

We have AT3s on our Land Cruiser and have experienced good success with durability. They are really a pretty amazing tire.

I would really suggest driving the newest/cleanest/lowest mileage LX470 you can find. Our 70 Series is an eight passenger ;)

Great images. The idea of sleeping on the portaledge has always been intriguing What was the expected number of pitches?

Sweet little ride. Enjoy the journey! Are you planning to drive Baja?

The Land Cruiser is still running perfect and is a pleasure to travel in. We just watch the temps and she continues to soldier on. We have done nearly 30,000 kms with her since purchased. Not a single failure. . . Some of you will enjoy the images from our recent trip to Utah and CruiserFest...

I have the Air Force variant. Awesome boot

Great route. Similar to the one we completed, although ours included the more rugged and remote Wakhan Corridor in Tajikistan. I am happy to help with the route, even send our GPX file. The only modification I would recommend would be Iran. If I were to do the route again, I would include Iran.

Nice post. The Jimny is a legit little machine. How did you enjoy the Caprivi?

Gear Patrol and the LR4

They are fun shows. I enjoyed watching them both.

Thank you Adam. The LED lights are growing on me, and they would just be covered by an ARB bumper in my case, regardless.

I have enjoyed a few nice rides on the F800GS.
