I am really debating getting this for our Australia trip...but 8 days before we leave is a tight timeline to get a new device and learn how to use it.
Still very cool of them to keep updating and improving the product.
Doug,
#1 Thanks for putting your presentations online. My wife was not able to attend the event but she already replied positively to my email link on both the Couples & Womens Overlanding pdf's....very well done.
#2 The pre/post idea is great and I agree it is how a number of Nursing/Medical...
since this is a wheelchair accessible model bus then you get the big back door which is nice for cargo loading and such.
I wonder if it is a fuel filter or pump issue keeping it from running more than 5 min
man what a killer deal if it is something simple, and what a cool camper project you...
Hey Bob,
great to see you again and check out your trailer in person. very very nice.
But I have to say if you are going to post any video at all it needs to be that balance test you showed me.
Being able to stand on the rear and not have the tongue lift up....and then to be able to so easily...
very cool of you to talk your buddy out and show him why we love our rigs...nothing hard core, just getting further into the backside of beyond to explore
great pics by the way, thanks for posting
Doc the Ham thing is a great idea and I bet we could get the Maricopa Country Emergency Radio guys to come up and they are a very strong ham group that understands the 4x4 world.
Or maybe some 4x4ham.com folks would come play.
It is a nice market for Yaesu or Kenwood or Icom to look at or even a...
Where do the video shooter/driver sleep?
I think it would be really cool & helpful to see some "everyday life/camp" stills that show how everyone camps/cooks/sleeps/hygiene and such using the 3 vehicles.
So many of the media trips spend all the time on the rigs in motion or someone talking and...
Jonathan, you and Roseann deserve a huge hug and a bow of respect for all the behind the scenes hard work that went into this event.
Having attended the first event in Prescott and then Amado venue, I would say this year was everything Overland Expo is meant to be. Pine trees, green grass...
I agree on the thumb drive thing....the only way to save your HD is to not have one and go solid state.
That said I have been running laptops in 4wd's since 2007 and have never had a HD fail and I run hardcore washboard and keep my laptop on 16hrs or more a day non-stop.
My Acer netbook has been...
Thanks for posting and good on you for getting out there, and really good of your family to be supportive.
I look forward to your trip report with lots of pics of course :) and it would be great to put up anything from past adventures as we all like to travel vicariously through others :)
If I...
James, you and Stacy were missed, it would have been great to catch up on adventures.
Enjoy your trip and I hope someone does post pics of the SMB Fuso because it was really cool with some innovative features.
great job Corbin....I wished it had taken pics but I wasn't sure you were ready for that.
I saw quite a few people looking over his design and I gotta say it is very creative.
Looking forward to a finishing version and especially a pic of you guys using it in camp!
Hey Brian,
I would be happy to loan my ARB 63qt if you think that would fit your needs? It is a low but long so check ARB's website for the size.
Since we will be in Australia June & July then no worries on your timeframe.
I am planning to be at the Overland Expo this weekend and I could give it...
For all us Full Size folks make sure to look at Aluminess, they make some amazing light weight but super strong bumpers.
I had one on my Sportmobile front & rear and let me tell you I was able to winch my 11,000lb rig off the front bumper without a worry.
The rear bumper had really cool storage...
As usual for me I am working tonight & tomorrow night...sleep till early afternoon on Thurs and then rush to do an oil change, pack my crap and be ready to roll up to Flagstaff on Fri am.
If all goes well Waymon -TexGX & I should be up there by noon to start the hanging out with everyone. Larry...
wow upgraded brakes & LSD in the rear....that should make for some fun high speed dirt driving
great build up even better you really get out and use this thing
I am not sure if the Garmin Topo will see the GPS puck but if it works with a Garmin unit then it should worth with the puck.
Otherwise it would make sense to stick as close to possible to what has worked for you in the past.
Hey Todd check out this pic from Sean's blog....it looks like your Bronco from Nov 1972

( I can't cut & paste the pic from work but I will try at home)
Howdy Sean - Car28, great to have you here on Expo and nice blog by the way.....looking forward to keeping up with it and I hope to meet up with you & Rhonda sometime soon...make sure she joins in as a female racers perspective is always welcome.
Todd...very cool to get the drivers thoughts...
really great writeup and the pics are helping with that feeling of being there.
Very glad to hear the route is open all the way through as we had to do an in & out when I was there....now I want to go back even more.
Looking forward to the rest of the story.
