Thank you for sharing - great posts! We'll be there in July/August next year : )

In case it's helpful, here's one of my tracks, which led into some remote dunes and areas a long way from any road - beautiful country!

What is your planned route (assuming you have one)?

Great story - thanks for all the posts. The posts on Cameroun reminded me of my time in Central Africa. A couple of thoughts; Nothing? How about (a few at random): - Lac la Roche - Algonquin Park - Gros Morne National Park - Cartwright Labrador - Cabot Trail (I suppose these would...

No, however the ignominy was evident... overconfidence at work!

I wish I had a photo of my recovering a Land Rover from a river in Botswana, with a Peugeot 304...

I have no direct experience however you should contact Argentine shipping agents and ask for quotes. Now, bear in mind that shipping out of Argentina is viewed as problematic compared with shipping out of Montevideo (once again, no direct experience with either, we've driven out of both...

Oops - humble apologies! Comment re price deleted.

Looks like a nice set up, and it's a good base vehicle - nice job! I wish you luck with the sale.

Good advice. We've carried a second spare on a couple of long trips however have concluded that it's unnecessary (and adds weight and takes up space). For example, we took a second spare on a 10 month trip in Africa and had no punctures at all. As long as you have a good repair kit (and...

I have never tried to tow a trailer across a frontier, so am speaking out of ignorance. However, I am sure that there are regulations for trailers in many countries and imagine that any trailer which doesn't satisfy local regulations will be a target for inspection and could be impounded if it...

Obviously what works for you is great, and I'm not criticising your decision. Great job doing what make sense for you. I do wonder though: -Since one of the objectives was "trying to save all the money we can for mechanical issues that are guaranteed to come up", the best way of doing this...

Cherokee XJ. Bought in Texas, taken to Europe and covered 175,000 km before I sold it.

Happened to us (2016 Montero) once. Couldn't adjust the seatback. To optimise resources we took it in to the dealer who said that we'd need a new seat (the entire seat) at some ridiculous price. We drove away and it's worked perfectly since... ?

Great campsite on the TransLabrador Highway

I was confused until I realised that this is a different Sierra Nevada...

Thank you. The next "big trip" is South Asia, all next year; we added a couple of weeks onto a brief trip to Rajasthan this spring, which made it a ""reconnaisance" trip ; it seems we need several years for India alone : )

Bear in mind that it was not our first time in Portugal. Usually we cover 165 km/day on long trips, and more than that on shorter trips, some of which are essentially reconnaissance for later trips. On a Central European trip at the end of 2022 we covered 4169 km in 16 days, so 260 km/day - far...

Yes - I look at www.pajeroforum.com.au as well. Another forum which is good is the RSA forum at www.4x4community.co.za . Not specific to Pajero/Montero/Shogun but there are lots of threads and posts which are relevant.
