for some reason my work servers are blocking your blog, but I will make sure to read it at home thanks for posting and great pics posted here. Looking forward to learning all about your journey and please be sure to add a section at the end on "lessons learned and what I would do differnet" thanks

Yeah I would think doors & a roof (with insulation on each) would make a bit of a difference in your FJ40 :) On the heater side of things the cfm of the fan can make a real difference in that if you get a aftermarket unit make sure if moves enough air so you feel it. Of course if you go OEM...

Horseshoes & stakes pack small... marshmellow blowguns are fun put up some paracord between trees and make some ballon/straw rockets (they inflate them then release) get some of the old style plastic film canisters (walgreens) and add water with a part tab of alkaseltzer and watch them pop...

Ok one way or another I HAVE got to make it to next years run....great job on the quality of the video and the rigs are amazing. My 70 Burb NEEDS to be up there and I sure have not spent near enough time in Utah. So no excuses, 2014 is a must to event for me. Thanks for posting this, very...

thanks for showing the behinds the scenes work that goes into these things....especially the less glorious stuff like cleaning all that mud/dirt/grime I am really looking forward to what you are going to do with this blank slate.

great pics and write up...thanks for taking us along on your journey and thanks for reminding me I need to spend alot more time in that area.

plenty of HP/torque in the 350 Atlas is plenty tough Dynatrac alxes are serious and the front and rear ARB's make it very nice Roll cage is a bit much but maybe on a "dangerous drives" episode it would look right But what I don't get is the "never drive off road".....WHAT? You spend that kind...

great write up and pics...thanks for taking up along for the emotion and adventure. I have always enjoyed watching your Celica zip by when working the Prescott Rally and I look forward to seeing you again this year. It would be a blast to drag my son up to the Kingman event and watch those guy...

Very cool video....and great camera angles that give that remote feeling. Makes me want to hit the dirt NOW.

Good to see I am not the only one that uses the Fridge as part of my sleep setup :) Never had any issue with the fridge coming on and waking me either. Sleeping inside the rig is the best for me & the family as my younger son likes to string up a hammock so the wife & I get the rig. Once my...

Well I tell ya before we went to OZ last summer I was spending alot of time on Gumtree as that has become the craigslist of Oz...lots of deals, things seem to sell fast and we regarded. Forums of course are always good as you can find a Ford forum that has a big Aussie following and...

This beats the Land Rover story to death.... Hard to believe you have survived so far after the way they over-hyped the "extreme" nature of the journey...rotating drivers, sat phones, farmed bison...life on the edge :) Thanks for taking the time to update this and letting us travel with you ...

Hey John, Having been to the Allrad Show in Germany before I can tell you it would be completely worth it to attend in your case. Hey I even met the big guy at Staun (deflators and such) there :) Matter of fact I have been seriously considering going back next summer as it has been a few years...

I second the motion on the vehicle electronics install class...and I think we need to email rosanne to make it happen...off to gmail now :)

Well I live in the desert southwest so not much experience in tight forest trails that you might have....but never any trouble for me. I am usually more concerned about my departure angle than anything else. A mild lift is often enough for most folks. On my rear bumper build I plan to use some...

I am ok waiting till January....I put up my money since I want to see this product in the market and this is a brave new way of making cool things happen. Good to hear from them.

Good to hear that a nice ratcheting crimper and quality connectors are ok as I suck at soldering...especially upside down and under a dash :) Lucky for me I know a good batch of high quality PEOPLE like Bevin-Ozrockrat & Nick-Nobin..among others that have the knowledge, skills and tools to get...

I really don't see how you COULD put an aftermarket bumper on without a ton of plastic cutting. Interesting to see what they factory bull bar will look like as many of the Prados I saw in Oz had Toyota front bumpers with Roo bars as they looked decent.

Great trip report....very honest on the highs and lows of the trip. I don't like mushrooms but cool that you know enough to harvest them wild and it was neat to see that element of the trip. Thanks for the details on highways for those of us who want follow your tracks. Also thanks for the...

Must see pics of something 7000 lbs UNDER GVW :) I am looking forward to putting my rig back on the scales soon after I get the interior done. I am trying to keep her light so we will see.
