Thanks Amigo. I just dropped him a line.

Thanks to all who have sent me leads. I have followed up on all of them and am awaiting responses. Unfortunately Silk Road Tours at info@silkoffroad.kz as well as addresses other addresses ending in .kz & .kg keep bouncing back despite sending my messages via both my .net & .com e-mail. Any...

We are in the process of helping out a colleague who has broken down while on an overland trip from London to Beijing via the legendary Silk Road route. We have sourced and shipped parts to a contact in Bishkek for him already. What we need help with is identifying a reputable garage with...

I have been running a supercharged 4.0 for over 2 years now...it has been problematic and with the vendor & installer unwilling to support the product post sale. Very disappointing. I have needed to do all my own research to make it run halfway right, adding aftermarket programmable MAP sensor...

David, All the advice here is good. As far as sand ladders go, you can be fancy or you can simply carry several pieces of 2'x 2' x 3/4" plywood. You'll get 8 our of a sheet and you can use them for all sorts of purposes such as getting unstuck, leveling out your trailer, putting under your...

Just to let you know that my Sprint is for sale. Details are at http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6503

Okay, it's not an expedition vehicle...I am selling because I simply am not riding anymore and it kills me to see it in the garage. So here's the details: 2001 Triumph Sprint ST 955cc Sport Touring Motorcycle Very clean, dealer maintained (with records), always garaged, single owner bike...

To quote Lew Kingman who was in attendence: "It sure was nice not to have people asking "What's that?" for a change"

It's on my roof rack so I simply let is unfurl down the side of the vehicle.

72" Wide Screen. Perfect for those panoramic views in Blazing Saddles...

Okay Allen, you're the first! Does your literary agent know that you're on the loose? :xxrotflma

Ed, My suggestion would be to purchase 4 of McMaster PN 8860T82, attach them to the underside of the roof rail and use 2 shortened ratchet straps to hold the ladder in place. We have used the 8860T82 as ratchet hold downs in the back Scotty's FJ40 with great success.

Wow! What a good time! We are so pleased with how the event turned out for a first time experiment. Everybody had fun and left with a smile on their face. We could not have pulled it off without the help of Brian at Totally Off Road in Sparks, Jim's guys from Nth Degree, Chuck Faulkerson and...

Righto Andrew.... We put them on our trailers because we expect there to be water crossings, mud, dust and wildebeasts. The spring in the BB exerts about 3 psi of pressure on the packed grease which keeps grease in the bearings as opposed to conventionally packed wheel bearing where grease can...

Welcome Amigo! You're in good company here. Nice 60 & 101. Looks ready to kick up some dust!

The Serengeti was a sample. The fabric, design and sewing quality are excellent but the base & ladder leave a lot to be desired. We tried to negotiate with the maker to merely import the fabric and we would build improved bases and ladders stateside but we could not get to a price point that...

It has a huge backer plate on the inside of the box. It is an inch within the fender and of course on the TacoChaser it's about 4 feet off the ground! A lower support bracket is being fabbed next for the tank

Just a final post here to share our online resources for planning this trip for anyone who may be considering visiting the little slice of paradise known as New Zealand Web sites: http://www.nzmag.com/ http://www.newzealand.com/travel/northamerica/ http://www.doc.govt.nz/...

Ed, The following gets my vote with fender washers sandwiching the fiberglass on your tent.

TacoChaser got a 10 lb propane cylinder mounted today for upcoming backcountry fly fishing trip and Pyramid Lake Adventure. Next mod is a 19 gallon water tank.
