    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    Was thinking less about wheel travel but more about when the vehicle is in an angle and the body twists down. It's amazing how much a bump stop and body mount can compress in certain conditions.

    Are you cutting the rear guards for better clearance and moving the front axle forward a tad?

    Expedition Overland 2013 Tacoma Build

    Or do you think maybe it's because it's tied into the fact this is all about a seasons worth of footage and storylines

    Lack of 70 series Land Cruisers.

    Until you use a drive thru or have to use a boom gate at a parking lot.

    My camping trailer fixup

    Just bought a used camper trailer. Nothing flash but will do for quick trips in the weekend and any basic touring stuff. If we want to hot the harder high country tracks will just pack the tent The Drifta pull outs kind of sealed the deal. Don't need fancy electrical systems, already got a...

    Mosquito repellant? I'd probably have my drinking bottle and urine bottle different sizes, just in case:)

    SEMA 2013 Updates

    Really love the Icon stuff. I know there are plenty of nay Sayers etc about the price and their worth, whatever, I like that a company builds them. I live the aesthetic, the intent and the finished product. And I will never be able to own one. Keep the pics coming

    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    Why the 20 hours per stint of driving? Seems like a lot of pressure on drivers to battle through fatigue and I'd imagine the constant daylight would just add to havoc being played on your body clock

    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    Which vehicles are using for this leg as I can't imagine the Troopies are well suited for this endeavour. I'm guessing Arctic Truck Hiluxes?

    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    What do you need to store them in when not using them? I can't imagine going from inside a warm moist cab of a vehicle out into the elements would be good for them.

    Smallest four-wheeled expedition vehicle?

    Here's my old Suzuki Sierra, never should have sold it. Did heaps of trips in that, deserts, the High Country, then modified to tackle the extreme stuff http://instagram.com/p/WguPwOirPe/

    Lack of 70 series Land Cruisers.

    That has always amused me as well. My folks had a 75 series Troopy with the third door conversion done. Made it a much more usable vehicle, was tempted to buy it off them when they went to trade it for the 75 series ute. But went with a Nissan GQ Patrol instead. Preferred the look, the coil...

    Advice on putting together a photobook

    Keep it simple and uncluttered. While 70 pages is a lot (not sure how it can be 70 but anyway) don't be tempted to fill it with hundreds of shots. Sometimes a blank page facing a fantastic shot will do wonders for the image. Don't get tempted with fancy borders, or "misty edges" etc Really...

    IPhone 5s as photographer's tool

    My take on it is that it has made photography very accessible for many people. Yes there are lots of selfies, shots of peoples dinner etc but for many others theycan take a decent shot that is never going to be seen by anything other than a phone, tablet or monitor or perhaps printed in a...

    adventure motorcycle show on netflix

    Charlie has also done a few other shows, By any means, a trip from London to Sydney. Also another one where he travelled around South Africa. Both are good watches. They may have had support crews but they still did the trips and still rode the bikes. Good on them for doing it. Elitist...
