Hi guys, I have been doing some reading and I was curious if anyone uses the AMG variant of the G-class for overlanding? I know there are a few differences between the normal and the hot-rod edition, but is that the primary reason? Is there something that I am missing? Here is what I know that...

With regards to your build, how long has most of the work taken you? Is the G class a more challenging project than a more mainstream choice? I don't mean just finding parts, but fitting them. Also, how many excursions do you take? This looks like a truck that can be driven a lot of places.

It's time for good-news/bad-news. Good news! I went to the dealer in town that has a RR Sport. Bad news! He was not there. This is one of those teeny tiny dealers that doesn't even have a finance department. The guy that owns it found a RRS at auction, bought it, and then stuck a big red...

Those things certainly have the space! That's good advice, thanks.

Has anyone extensively used the new Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?

There are two or three at the Toyota dealership in town I used to work at. I think I am going to go try one of those after the Range Rover Sport test drive.

They will require high-oc, but you should be able to run it on lower octane fuel but at the cost of additional consumption and reduced output. The Central/South America portions of the journey are still tentative (re language barrier), so I am not placing a high priority on features that are...

You might actually be on to something. I think it is a case of too-much-internet-research. I just compared the differences in gear ratios between the ZF 6HP and the 8HP and they are really similar. Top two overdrive gears are the same, first gear is a little bit lower in the 8HP, and otherwise...

Hi everyone, I am a bit new to this kind of outdoorsing, so i would like to throw out my notes on an overland vehicle here. I don't fully expect anyone to have anything useful to add, but I will appreciate any feedback from the local membership. I have owned a 4x4 before: it was a 1982 Jeep CJ7...

This is a wonderful marvel of physics. It heats the water, which expands into the upper container. The water sits for just long enough to extract from the grind, then the vacuum pressure from the lower container forces the water back through the filter -- clean -- and ready for consumption. It's...

Absolutely. I use a Nespresso Aeroccino at home to do the same thing. It's 550W, heats the milk at the same time, and produces a nice milk-consistent foam (i.e. the same milk produces the same foam) with something as simple as a press of a button. I have one of those wand mixers, too -- I just...

For coffee options, I have a few facts and opinions on the matter. First, let's look at what is a known fact: * Pour overs are a thin-body clear-flavor brew. This is the closest thing to a traditional brew pot that most people have in their homes. This provides a very crisp flavor of the beans...

Any word on the inevitable show, yet?
