    America, Baja, and Beyond in a School Bus

    This lifestyle is very appealing and it is normally a lot of fun! The door is everyone's favorite part of the bus! Thanks! We love our little bus! We did Baja this winter and actually didn't need recovery tracks (except to unstick a tractor after a heavy rain, but that's another story) or a...

    America, Baja, and Beyond in a School Bus

    We have spent the bulk of the Winter and spring in Mexico housesitting and running around Baja in our 4Runner. The bus got a much needed rest and we got to realize how much we really enjoy traveling and living in our skoolie. We traveled back to the states to switch out vehicles and to...

    America, Baja, and Beyond in a School Bus

    I am never going to be able to keep this thread updated from our last year on the road, so here are some highlights. We spent April-October 2018 traveling all over the Western US seeing 15-16 states, tons of National Parks and sooooo much free camping! We have plans to visit all 50...

    MTB vs Touring for Eastern US

    To wrap this thread up, I have had the DT for a month and it might be the perfect bike for the way we travel. We have only been in Tulsa, Flagstaff, and South Dakota, but so far I am super impressed and glad I went with the trucker. 25+ mile gravel rides are great and commuting into town is...

    Replacement GC2 Battery Selection

    Well said. We use the same number of Duracell GC2's in our skoolie battery bank and I don't see any evidence of the trojans being more prone to last longer.

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    I keep shopping for lift options and super single swaps for the rear axle, hard to come by for this year I guess, we will just keep traveling with it the way it is and enjoying our time in it.

    MTB vs Touring for Eastern US

    What would we do without the women in our lives? My wife is my inspiration for most cycling endeavors and she did a Pacific Coast tour on a Cross Check a few years back and says she will never get rid of that bike. I have only had a couple of rides so far, but it mixes all of my favorite parts...

    MTB vs Touring for Eastern US

    So I made a compromise... I got a smoking deal on a 2012 Disc Trucker in my size and I couldn't pass on it. This photo is more for fun than anything. I have a set of 29x1.9 gravel tires that will be replacing these, I just wanted to see what I could fit on the bike. 2.0 in the rear and 2.1...

    1980 E350 Quadravan

    ^What he said. You have to look at what features vans are selling with. Paint this one, clean up some of the surface rust, tidy the wiring on the hitch, hang a spare tire, get rid of the 1/2 assed platform and lay down some plank floor in the back and you will get many more looks. No one wants...

    1986 Toyota 4Runner Baja Budget Build

    Thanks for the kind words! The bottle doesn't sit like that often, only when the fridge is pulled out. It rests on the end of the tailgate when the fridge is "in".
