    My little sleeping pod i built for a utility trailer

    I'd be very careful using a propane heater in there, especially while sleeping. It will burn through the oxygen very quickly. What sort of ventilation does it have?

    Am I crazy to overland a Samurai?

    Yes you can. In my old Zuk I did many long distance trips in it. A friend drive hers around Australia, my brother drive from the bottom to the top of Australia and back again. , Simpson desert crossings etc etc I wouldn't go with a RTt just a small dome tent. You need to think smart with...

    Roof Mounted Solar Shower

    Have been doing a similar thing for years. I've got a 20 l black plastic drum with a spigot. Drilled a hole in the lid, cut a valve and surrounding rubber from a bike inner tube and stuck it to the lid. Leave in the sun all day, attach compressor to valve and voila pressurised hot shower. Also...

    Rookies on the Rubicon

    Great write up, thanks for sharing. Being Downunder trails like those in Moab, the Rubicon etc are these mystical destinations that fuel the fire whilst watching a video or reading a magazine. Your report was one of the few that actually conveyed a sense of adventure, fun and accomplishment...

    Suzuki Samurai LWB Tires

    I never had an issue with road noise from the tyres, lots more noises from the vehicle itself :D But they were quieter than previous sets of mud tyres I had

    Suzuki Samurai LWB Tires

    I wouldn't use a Simex on a Zuk. They are a very stiff tyre and don't ride particularly well under a Zuk, especially when you try and air them down and they don't change shape. I used a Firestone Super All Traction tyre under my LWB Suzuki which was an awesome tyre but unfortunately were no...

    Tvan. By Track Trailer

    They are awesome trailers, easy to tow, incredibly easy to setup and pack up, will follow the vehicle anywhere, extremely well built. You can't compare prices between the US and here, two very different economies. I am surprised that moreAustralian style camper trailers haven't made it into the...

    1993 Camel Trophy 200TDI

    Nice find. So lucky you can have an off road only vehicle in the states to allow you to get out there and use it. So how does it drive, have you had to do much mechanically to get it working etc(other than the windscreen), what future plans? How many cool CT stories did you hear from Tom?
