Wow you and your wife went to Dubai? Thats a set of balls on you. Looks like a great trip, only thing I'd skip is the middle east portion.

Its over an extended period of time.

Just read through your build. Just thought I'd mention bottled water becomes toxic when left in a vehicle and its heated up.

Tablets yes, phones I'm not sure. Someone mentioned security concerns but as an IT guy who supports Mac and Windows based PCs I can tell you the PCs with Mac OS have had a ton more security problems than the Windows ones. If you remember Microsoft played with the tablet thing long before...

Any update on this? I'm looking to buy a GPS receiver for my laptop but I cant find many reviews.

Cheaper generally. Thats why I build my own stuff.

So why dont we have a real Safari snorkel then since the taco was already there for measurement?

if thats it there and theres a slope to get down to the river and the river is less than 2 feet deep, 2wd can do it. 4x4 would be nice to have but drivers skill would be fine based on that picture.

Based on those pictures I'd say any 2 wheel drive could do it too. 4x4 would be nice but doesnt look required.

Looks like a good start man. I'll be following this as I'm rebuilding my ranger for mild overland and DD use.

This is my plan in a couple years aswell. Thank you very much for the report.

Thats a great deal in my neck of the woods. 2010 with 70 000km are still going for $29 000 bone stock up here. It actually works out cheaper to buy the truck brand new here. You only lose like 1000$ when you drive off the lot and its got no miles on it.

Hey man I know you were wrestling with the mileage issue with your tent up top. I'm planning on doing a similar cage to yours for my RTT going on my ford Ranger. What I've found in my research is that if you drop those hoops just a little lower(4-6") it allows the wind to go over the tent saving...

I'll be parking on these often I imagine.. By accident ofcourse...

Dreamer, do you have a write up on your bumper? DIY I assume

Jeep is more capable, Land cruiser will be more reliable though. -Thats coming from a HUGE jeep fanboy. Always owned them and always will, but I do have a major hate on for all these wannabe jeeps they make now, JK included.

I'd trust a Wagoneer more than a JKU for reliability any day. Sorry but Chrysler has proved this time and time again. the GW has more than enough room for 3 kids, I say rock that sucker. Spend 7k on the vehicle, 3k on preventative maintenance and call it a day. It'll be 100x more reliable than...

Love the XJ man. Definately make sure you get some tow points. Personally I dont see a point in the detours backbone but thats just me. I'd rather a strong rear bumper/tire carrier combo. I'd say do the rear main. Better to have it sealed up and not worry about it then have it weeping oil into...

Italy they eat tons of Pasta but the way the Pasta is made is far different than the junk we have over here in North America. That's why despite their eating habits they stay slim to moderate.
