thanks for the pics and writeup I love that area and I love my ARB fridge :) Bummer for the bumper repair but doesn't sound like it slowed down your group at all

Wow, I don't drink beer, but if I did that would be the most nifty way to to do so... I am impressed by anyone who would dedicate a new fridge for beer, plus the stainless work, plus the paintball CO2, and planning, and welding and it just goes on and on... Very cool and I really hope it works...

great write up and pics....very cool to see your father traveling with you I am really enjoying your thoughts as you travel, please keep those coming. Looking forward to more.

Great looking trip and an area I need to visit. Love the Aussie 62 series diesel cruiser with the safari top. Very neat. Glad you had a good trip and thanks for taking us along.

I would not worry about extra fuel tanks....There is gas everywhere other than the Altaplano or somewhere crazy like that...and honestly you can plan for everything else. You will have more issues with tight roads, potholes and overhead height than anything else. Keep it simple and spend less...

Great idea... our work computers have trouble with things like that but I will give it a go at home tonight thanks for the heads up....I am way way behind in the work and adventures of this rig. Still love it and so does my wife (most important thing)

looking forward to your cooper thoughts....getting close to tire time for me also

rent a car for any client meeting... Honestly someone like Enterprise will bring the car to your office and since it is work related you can write it off on taxes. Makes it cheap and easy.

For what you need....stealth... Here is my order.. Craigslist box van, cheap and almost invisible Step van like fedex, ups or other places uses...also almost invisible Sprinter...see above Conversion van or other normal size van, also plenty of space a Most of all you want the pass-through...

great writeup and pics... looking forward to much more

Great writeup and I like the pics... Big thanks for clearing the trail, makes a huge difference for the soft roader folks that come along, not to mention our land manager folks find it easier to close than repair a trail.

I really want to register in Safari but I am also chasing shortly after this for the Mexican 1000. So that gives me 2 concerns... The Cost...steep but there are not many real Dakar style event you can do in North America with a non-race rig. The Risk...for me to break something right before I am...

Just saw this posted on Race Dezert... 4 -WHEEL SAFARI CLASS - For those enthusiasts who want to participate without a fully prepped race vehicle, join the SAFARI CLASS (no roll cage required), and run on selected sections of the course without being timed or scored. Learn how to navigate...

Following along for more...being in Arizona we get up to Colorado alot...really enjoy when I read about or hear from folks far away and how they see it all. Great pics and looking forward to the rest of the story

wow that t-case is a neat setup and I wished I had known about it when building my burb....low low is very nice to have.

Yeah I gathered the the date seperation might mean something....not sure if it was just to try and NOT jam 2 events close together or if the folks involved are not working together anymore. Either way...I know I am going to enjoy helping you guys Todd with the Bronco, but also always looking...

Yeah that is why I didn't enter last year....and the timeframe of right against the start of the Mex 1K My hope was that since it is a stand alone event there might be some sort of stock class that would let me NOT have a roll cage. Shame as more folks would enter stuff like this if they didn't...

I posted on Race Dezert to ask if I HAD to have a roll cage in my 70 Burb. I have been chasing for the Mexican 1000 for a few years, have a very well build rig, love navigation stuff but just don't want to install a roll cage in my daily driver/travel rig. Otherwise if I can't compete I might...

The flexible panels are more efficient in poor lighting and hot air temps than the glass panels. On the laptop inverter look for a travel setup that only goes from 12v to 15-19v instead 120v, that will save your battery also. I love my I-GO but there are plenty of brands. Remember that your goal...

Really great write up and pics... I like the pacing of the story, the self reflection and best of all we got to hear from the "other fellow" who was along. Many of my best memories are of when things went pear shaped, I didn't enjoy it at the time but learned plenty. Thanks for putting it all...
