These shocks supported my FJ Cruiser as it won the 2007 Exp Trophy (5 day off road competition) and all along the Continental Divide Expedition. Disabled Explorers started it's non-profit lift with an FJ Cruiser that was loaded to the gills and still run hard on the trail. Well the rig is gone...

Well as much as I hate to see these go I hope they will find a good home in an overlanders abode. What better bit of art to have on the wall than something to make you think of distant rich fields of tobacco under a tropical sun. Enjoy your habano or non-habano whilie looking at the box art from...

Hello One & All, Well with the replacement of the Sportsmobile WAVE's windshield, upcoming insurance due and so much more it is time to clean house around the Disabled Explorers world and see if some of this stuff can't find a new home. I am placing these items on ebay since as a non-profit...

I have been reading some killer trip reports over on advrider and came across this group of Pols who did a killer outing... The videos are amazing and when you think about what a major breakdown would have meant for these guys it is double cool...

Riding with the master of the lens I recently got a chance to spend a week watching the Beyond the Lane guys at work filming the last episode of their upcoming TV series and best of all Ben Edmonson rode in my passenger seat and watching that guy use his camera and then getting to pick his...

I am putting this in the moto section rather than Fireside or who knows where else since it is moto related. If you have Netflix check out Cycles South, a 1971 docu-drama about 3 guys who ride bikes from Denver to Panama along with a cameraman on another bike. It is beyond funny and full of...

Ok I am back from Utah and visiting with Rock Slide Engineering (the guys at Mount Logan Offroad). I have to say that these Sliders with a Powered step are not only fully functional but also look really nice. The build quality is top notch, they are well secured to the body with 2 mounting...

I was reading a great website from a couple who travel around the world in their Mog and this page was full of killer stuff...I hope it helps settle anyone worried about Overland Mog travel http://www.xor.org.uk/silkroute/panam2006/20060319.htm

YouTube- RockSlidePowerStepSlider1 I just managed to get this together while on the road supporting some disabled bike riders. The power step/slider isn't finished yet but at least you get to see a little bit of it in action. I will be back at Rock Slide Engineering Monday and we hope to have...

Finally amputees like me, folks with other mobility issues and just any ol' person who has trouble getting in a E 350 Ford Van has a new option coming down pike! This all began when Sportmobile & Disabled Explorers finished the WAVE (Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions) for SEMA last year...

If you ever have been in a serious backcountry medical situation then you know the feeling of intense pressure of having every ones eyes on you. Well now imagine taking it up a notch and being in another country, having young men with machine guns watching closely and a screaming nine year old...

Well I have now officially learned how to make every pic I take look terrible... Take a pro shooter along with you! Fellow Expo member Ben Edmonson of www.benedmonson.com recently joined Disabled Explorers for a couple of Utah adventures with disabled participants. I can't seem to post up off...

this could be a really cool project base http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/rvs/1686077662.html

Recently I heard about an event called the Tour de Cure put on by the American Diabetes Association and wanted to help somehow. Anyone can put out snacks or fill drink cups, but why not try to find a way to use my Overland skills to help in a way that others can't? There are a couple of special...

with the increase in interest in adventure moto'ing around here I thought I would reference a company that makes a couple of cool products an electric shifter an auto clutch (use rpm to shift instead of the clutch lever) rear brakes by lever on the handle bars...

It turns out that having Expeditioneers local to me in Phx means that they are willing to mold up a snorkel for the Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions...a 2008 Ford E350. Not that taking a Sportsmobile deep into water is a plan but I am thinking in terms of dust and greater ease of...

El Camino del Diablo, the Devils Highway, it very much earned it's name this past weekend as Disabled Explorers and our wheelchair using disabled vet participant challenged rain, mud, smugglers, mechanical failure and cold in order to seek out adventure in a remote part of the Arizona-Mexico...

This upcoming weekend Disabled Explorers will be taking a disabled vet on El Camino del Diablo (Devils Highway). The guy doesn't know it but there is a Boy Scout monument next to the trail and I want to have him help replace the old flag with a new one. Every time I have run the Camino the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmYohGerfo4 First effort for me so be gentle....matter of fact it would be best if someone who knew what they were doing volunteered to take over editing...best if someone shot the video also! We shot more video outdoors and want to complete the tour but for now...

Please note this scouting trip was from the perspective of those with mobility issues and to let them know what they grounds would be like and the campgrounds in the area... With a sudden cancelation of weekend plans the choice was made to shoot south and scout out the location for the 2010...
