I really want to capture some great in route imagery on the Continental Divide Expedition so I put together a little mount based on the excellent help from Photomark in Phoenix, on Mcdowell road. They have been super nice to this roving idiot who knows less than nothing. I gave it a little...

and the plans come to a screaching halt :) Breaking News... Broken Sway Bar link shreads CV boot and Rear Shock Explodes Ok I went out fully loaded and ran a med trail ( I am not into rock crawling), I wanted something equal to the worst I would see on the Continental Divide Expedition. Well...

Ever since I bought my 4wd I have been trying to come up with a good way to handle the trash I find on the trails and the Wag Bags that me & my PETT (porta-potty) create. I think I am on to something interesting and with my upcoming 5000 mile 22 day adventure from Canada to Mexico there ought to...

Extreme Outback sends air support to Disabled Explorers Now before you start looking for pictures of bombing raids and explosions, that wasn’t the kind of air support I was talking about. Instead I mean onboard air and all the cool things that does for anyone with mobility issues, from ease of...

WrapsAZ did an amazing job sponsoring the vehicle graphics on our Flagship Toyota FJ Cruiser. This will be something that catches attention and hopefully will get the word out to folks we can help. A view of the side…. You can see some of our major sponsors from Adventure Trailers who really...

Not sure if those of you who are Tread Lightly Trainers know this or actually do this but if you go on the site and file a report of your training activities they enter you in a monthly drawing..... It is very quick and easy to do...I wrote up SedonaFest II and what do you know but I won! my...

Hey I get to make the first post in this new forum!!!! Thanks very much to Scott and all the Expo crowd who believe in the concept of equal overlanding access for everyone! This subforum perfectly fits the idea of Disabled Explorers since the goal is to be inclusive. I didn't want to put a...
