Oh damn, I didnt make it past Oaxaca, now I you are really making me jelous

Mexi-can! Pretty sure this is no problemo in Mexico. Sadly I couldn't get a pic of his sweet googles while driving and pic taking.

Yup, these things perform well. I did two months in Mex and only got stuck once, and that was because I didnt have my compressor hooked up and wasn't aired down, it was an empty rv park on the beach at night so we thought we were good, I even had my friend get out and test it, seemed ok, but...

Ive been meaning to pick some up after my rear shock came out in Mexico which is impressive considering how long that damn bolt is, I almost lost it it was hanging by a "thread". I suspect the mechanic who added a leaf to my leaf spring may have been the problem, though I dont know why he would...

Good thinking on the maps. The motorcycle guys make these to hold their tools and attach them to their bikes, so you know these will last if you attach them to your rig.

What size are the rims on a 96, for some reason 15 is in my head, but I don't know why? I may have a rim (pretty sure its 16), I would have to see if I can get into my friends storage unit. He is in Italy for the next 6 months, but I know he left keys behind with someone before he left.

Check out Herbies build thread, it is awesome, but last time I checked the project was still ongoing as it is a good amount of work, and life gets in the way. But it will give you an idea of what is needed, and he did a great job documenting what has been done so far. I have always wondered...

Awesome, I look forward to seeing you tackle the challenges of finding your fuel source. I am in the same boat as those who think taking your kids around the world (best form of homeschooling!) is much better than any education a school can give. Good luck, I will be following your adventure...

I bought this for camping as well, it breaks down fairly well and seems like it will last. I haven't used it much yet so can't add too much. Williams-Somona carries them if you have one around you can avoid the shipping.

I have searched for info or pics on this before but never found anything. Anyone have any more details or a link? Thanks

I was thinking of taking this gem from evldaves DIY awning, and doing something like your PVC case so it could survive the elements, now that I see something in action I like it a bit more than I thought I would, thanks! For rolling the tarp, I would just use a bar like he did across the end of...

Is your problem height, width, a bit of everything? I plan on copying this guy (Thanks Shruk!) as it may work well for my needs, but its tough without seeing what your limitations are. Post with simple slide

**** yeah, I dont know why but I love reading boating trip reports. I don't think I have ever even been on a sail boat.

14 days...I don't want to rain on anyones parade but... I wish them the best of luck, while I don't get it, to each his own.

lol...yeah:(

Ok, not much went on here, as I got very sick in Mexico City and spent a week recovering (Montezumas Revenge). Lots of puking among other things, couldn't keep food or water down so I was weak for awhile. From Mexico City we went to Puebla, but this was the worst of it so I stayed at the van...

Very nice sir!

This time we hit up Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Mexico City/Teotihuacan. Great time, once again we got lost, explored some cities, climbed some pyramids, and even hit a person. Still with my friend, and now a Belgium we picked up in Guadalajara. Sitting in Oaxaca now, may head back...

Good work Dan, I need to catch up on your trip, but glad to see you had a great time. Now to remember where I left off!

Thanks guys, I am finding its getting easy to stay on top of it now, sort of getting a rhythm going. Still need to figure out how to get video up....baby steps Now the not so great news. Think my friend and I are going to go separate ways. We are leaving on good terms, but its not working...
