    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    It's a fantastic engine ~ the same engine being put into Ford Rangers worldwide. And TLC may have had issues with getting parts but after a lot of phone calls, I finally found a fantastic source for parts, from an importer in Florida. I can get anything I need for great prices (oil filters...

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Glad you resurrected it! I'll see if TLC is still on the forum here and will put a call in but as far as we know the kit didn't happen unfortunately; bad timing with the economy and all. The install was not easy, either, so maybe they are still working it out. They also came out with other...

    NX250 question on throttle control

    Thanks so much for that great info on the carb ~ makes sense it might be the carb since the cables are new. Will see what we can do, and let you know!

    NX250 question on throttle control

    All good suggestions. Didn't oil them . . . since problem remained same after new cables, probably not a pinch . . . and mechanic worked on carb (but that does not mean it's still not the carb . . . could have been done wrong). Tube might be the problem then. Could have been damaged when it was...

    NX250 question on throttle control

    Any other NX250 riders out there ~ I am still struggling with fixing the throttle control on my 1989 Honda. Replaced the cables, adjusted the cables, taken to pretty darn good mechanic. Still have sticking problem - makes fine-control hard, too, I end up jerking the gas around like a beginner...

    Overland Expo launches The 60-Second Overlander

    We're having a lot of fun with them. We're hoping lots of people will also submit their own ~ they're surprisingly easy to shoot. Jonathan's a natural, and Bruce can hit 60-seconds nearly perfectly!

    Thank you for the article tips, guys! Writing en route to Arusha, Tanzania, from Nairobi; it's pouring rain. Land Cruiser and Land Rover heaven; we collect a new Defender tomorrow and will be driving it to some remote parks in the interior. We'll be doing a presentation about self-drive...

    Hi James, I love Rover Divas! I would like to talk with the girls about coming to Overland Expo 2011 officially as Rover Divas, and giving a slide show about their adventures . . . something like Rover Divas' North American Adventures, or Rover Divas Do North America. I love the idea of girls...

    Macho B

    The only fitting punishment would be to wait til McCain's 80, then attach him to a tree by a leg snare for 24-48 hours with no food/water, dart him, collar him, and let him go in the Cabeza Prieta in June. Even more bull: the woman who blew the whistle may face federal criminal charges as well...

    Another fun behind-the-scenes shot. The chaos in the Canter (custom Four Wheel Pop-Up camper belonging to Robert and Martine) after Jonathan of Overland Journal test-drove it: Martine couldn't stop laughing!

    Overland Expo: Official Daily Update Thread

    We need an internal comms system for next year. Or maybe an old-fashioned "message tree" like the one at the Norfolk in Nairobi.
