    Overland through Niger, Chad, Central African Republic

    Thank you so much. I worked in West Africa and we had friends based in Kayes. I was under the impression that this area was off limit currently because of terrorism activities. Glad to see you made it through!

    Overland through Niger, Chad, Central African Republic

    Thank you so much for posting this and giving us some glimpse of hope that we can go visit one day. My wife did a bit of work in the CAR and I have been interested since then. Where did you start the trip? Did you drive/ship your Land Cruiser from the UK? Or rented it in Cameroon?

    Vehicle laws and restrictions: EU, Uk and neighboring areas

    You will be fine no worries. Just make sure to have proper insurance. We shipped and drove a 1988 Lincoln Town Car Limousine from New York to Plymouth and then down to Mali. I am pretty sure it did not meet every single regulation of every country we crossed... :)

    I have a house in Truckee (Prosser Estate), rented to a single mother with 3 kids. We lost power for almost 3 days straight. After the second night, I borrowed a Honda generator from a Burning Man friend who has a bunch for his camp. We needed it to run the furnace so she could at least have...

    Went and did it!

    Our XT225 remains one of the favorites, but we also just got a WR250R. I can't wait to try it more.

    The Status of Overlanding Today

    We bought this LandCruiser in Australia for $10000 and spent years driving it across Australia and Africa. It was awesome. There was nothing fancy... https://landcruiserhm.com/museum-collection/vehicle-collection/91-1988-hj75

    Heated Lithium / LifePo4 House batteries in Northern (cold) climates

    Mike - I have a similar problem. As you know I am also from Quebec, so I totally understand your use case. And in my case, the batteries that Battle Born sent us are not heated. So I guess what I am saying is that I have no clue yet what I will do if I take the van back to Quebec, although...

    Adventure Van Expo East 2021 show

    Isn't Field Van the old Sportsmobile brand? I forgot who does what now between the two...I just saw their store in Reno yesterday. https://fieldvan.com/ https://fieldvan.com/reno-nevada/

    Is the FZJ80 worth it in today’s market?

    I am fairly certain that a First Gen X-Terra for $3000 is going to need some work too, probably similar to the LandCruiser. Between the two I would keep the Land Cruiser. Or I would just fix it up a bit, sell it back, take your $8k and put that as a deposit on a newer vehicle.
