So, in the process of mulling over my next vehicle I have narrowed it down to several vehicles that I am trying to research a bit more on. One of which would be an F250 SD Power Stroke 7.3. I am thinking extra cab, short bed configuration. It would be a daily driver as well as a vehicle to...

After looking forward to this trip most of the winter while traveling for work, I am just a few days out now from rolling out on two months of traveling. I don't have any real set itinerary other than some work related stops in Colorado and California. The plan load is to load up the Disco with...

I am beginning the task of researching a new daily driver and one of the vehicles that really intrigues me is the Liberty CRD. There isn't a ton of info on ExPo about them so I thought I would start a thread. It sounds like a stock CRD can return high 20's easily on the highway and even a...

Having some time off and being home for a week over the holidays I decided to celebrate Xmas in my own personal way, a little excursion up to the Copper Country, aka the Keweenaw Peninsula. For those not in the know, the Keweenaw is a large peninsula that extends up off the Upper Peninsula of...

Here is a collection of some of my favorite images from the past 12 months of my travels and adventures... http://www.upoverland.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=692&p=5497#p5497 Anyone else sum up their year with photos?

Hey guys, I think I just came accross a free RRC at a friends house in MT last night while travelling through. It runs and drives well, guess it just has some interior accesory issues. I also have the good fortune of possibly having someone who can flat tow it back to the UP for me. My question...

The leaves are gone, the air practically crackles in the morning with the cold air and smell of damp earth and forest. The sunny days are becoming fewer and fewer, replaced now with the menacing and often cold steel-grey skies and wet weather. Winter is just around the corner and the...

I just returned from a 2 week work trip to Saas-Fee, Switzerland. We were doing training camp for final preperations before the first World Cup race. I snapped some shots randomly throughout the trip to try and give a bit of a "through my eyes" perspective of the experience. We had the tech...

Putting my Tundra up for sale, could be a great base to build a nice overlander or just a great daily driver as it has been for me. here is the Craigslist ad.. http://up.craigslist.org/cto/2016535626.html

Hey guys, was noticing earlier this month that I was getting some water dripping in from under the dashboard on the driver's side when driving in heavy rains. Not sure if it is common or not but wanted to start off the easy way and seeing if the gurus here might have some suggestions for way to...

Just returned last week from 3 weeks in Chile for a work trip and while it definately wasn't of the "overland" variety of trip it was a blast and I took alot of photos. We were there to train for 2 weeks in Portillo then finished up with our last week in Valle Nevado, a resort nestled up in the...

I was flying home from New Zealand thinking about what I was going to do with the two weeks off I had when I returned to the UP of Michigan. Coming back to summer from winter kind of makes you want to really get the most out of summer as I knew in two weeks it was back to winter again. It...

I don't normally post trip reports from my work trips but sometimes the scenery is just too good not to share. I was down in New Zealand at the first of the month for two weeks. We spent our time near Queenstown on the south island and skied at Coronet Peak as well as Cardrona. Here is a...

What is it that drives us to do the things we love? The anticipation of looking forward to something in the future? The cumulation of past experiences that cloud the moment? What is now? Seriously, I needed to get out of town and bug out for a few days. My summer has been busy in a bunch...

Just rolled home after a Thursday through Saturday scouting session. We had a lot of wet weather as well as some sunshine today but the overall theme was muddy and soggy! The trip route is turning out to be pretty cool and I am excited. I had Tom along as well Mark from UPJeeping who lent us...

Does anyone have source they would recomend for obtaining a good set of mudflaps for a D1? I haven't really started looking yet but I figured I would post up here first. Looking to keep the heavy junk of the truck and protect it a bit from rock chips. I'm going to be logging alot of miles...

Alex and I took a quick trip up Mount Evans yesterday after hearing that the road was open for the season. I was pretty pumped up since neither of us had ever been up there before. We live at 7,500 feet and it was a beautiful 80 degree day at our house. From our house it was a 35 mile almost...

My wife Alexia and I snuck off early last Friday morning to go spend some time poking around the San Rafael Swell. Neither of us had spent any time there prior other then buzzing through that cool part of I70 that drops through it from the west. We solicited some advice from some of the...

Just throwing around an idea right now. My wife and I have been discussing vehicles a bunch this week. I had listed my '00 Tundra for sale but now we are having second thoughts and thinking we should hold onto it. I love the truck honestly and it does everything a daily driver should do and...

Nothing seems more attractive than the lure of warm, dry weather after a harsh winter in the north country. Whether it was that or he just a needed break from the full-on remodel he had going on in his house, it didn't take much to convince Tom (TJDIV) to tag along on my trip to Overland Expo...
