Yeah those small town gas stations are a hoot, and the people you get to meet! But I won't miss the prices in rural areas, that is for sure. I wish I could record all the phone calls between Nobin-Nick & I that go something like me "Hey Nick what about XXXXXX" him "Well you could do that...

Great review and absolute truth....the emotion is such of huge part of what we do & where we spend our money. I really like the custom Troopie he built and can't wait to see more trips & stuff from him.

When you read the trip reports of actually people who travel Central & South America you hear over and over how they should have spent less money on mods and more on the actual travel. Unless you are building just to build, then I say put every dollar that would have gone into the build into...

OHHHH cool Matt, great that you are moving ahead of me and can save time & money on things I would do wrong :) Looking forward to your thread. I am actually looking to split my project into 2 parts: Part 1 will be axles,tcase, trans as that will help right away and get a bunch of stuff out of...

Well funny you should ask as things actually started to happen this weekend. My oldest son did a great job stripping down the interior and giving it a solid cleaning. Tomorrow he will hit a couple of rusty areas with POR-15, then goes the latex paint with ceramic spheres for sound/heat...

Howdy Moroza and Welcome... Please take this with the kindness it is intended - You are a self declared newbie to the 4wd/overland world. So make sure the first thing you do is remove from your mind everything you have learned about vehicles that corner well, accelerate well, and overall...

If you are purely looking at a diesel just to hit Central/South America then save your money for the trip itself. Gas is everywhere and cheaper than the US usually, range isn't an issue except in certain areas in South America and you can plan around those. The trip is what matters, keep the...

As a guy with a 70 Suburban I gotta say I really like your rig....best body style Ford ever did as others have said plus the killer Cummins. Looking forward to some indepth trip reports and thoughts as you use it and enjoy taking the girls out to play in the dirt

That is one impressive write up, thanks. As an ICU RN I really enjoyed my WUMP (Wilderness Upgrade for Med Prof) through WMI and it was only 40hrs....yours sounds intense. My son is in school for EMT and I will direct him to read this.

And he was a 1 armed dude!

very cool write up & pics so much history and such a different perspective from then to now Thanks for showing both the US & Native sides of things

nicely written and great photos thanks for taking us along on your holiday adventure

those hot springs look very very nice for a stopover in the middle of a trip. Thanks for the pics and write up, looking forward to some post trip thoughts on what someone like me who has never been there should bring & see. thanks for posting!

As a moderator I get sick of coming here just to take a whack at Spam.....I would be happy to gently moderate "The Jungle" based on the simple rules of: No name calling...such as "you are an idiot for thinking _____", or "only a dork would believe in ______" No personal attacks or...

If only I had a way to use an in dash pressure gauge I would be all over it. Must be for a central deflation setup I guess.

Of course I am jealous, who would not be when reading about this fantastic platform....and being reminded time and again how great it is working for YOU while the rest of us just keep on typing how we want a small, simple, high payload diesel. But I think YOU have to admit that the only reason...

Oh yes it is very very different as you of all people are very well aware but for the sake of the unwashed masses let's lay it out :) Oh and it was $111,000 but that is only a detail :) 1) Ordering it off the shelf: J8..show me where to order it? Not something AEV builds, not something I have...

I welcome any discussion that gets people to THINK about our society instead of sitting in front to the TV watching the latest crap. Also getting people to learn about our Constitution, our rights & responsibilities as citizens and becoming active members of our political system in the USA is...

Great pics...in the linked article, thanks Chip. Honestly for the $5250 base price this is a real value added to a really nice platform. Looking at what a Dormobile conversion or something in the same range adds to a Defender or what the Germans charge to spiff up a Landcruiser this is a steal...

It might get near the asking price if it was diesel...turbo diesel at a min. If you jump on Gumtree in Oz you can hunt these down, get a shipper to bring it to you (remember older than 25yr is no problem) and come in under the $20k asking price. There are Aussie forums full of good guys who...
