Sam it would be great to have you along... Post up some pics of your rig when you have a chance.

Really great write up and the pics are amazing... The story of friends traveling the backcountry are way better than if you had competed in the Trophy event. And that final repair was epic. thanks for taking us along for the adventure

Ouch Todd that is rough to be over GVW before adding any gear or friends. But then again that is where I was with most of my rigs before the good ol' Burb. I would bet that with your upgrades you have a higher GVW than Ford gave you. Great info everyone else and glad to see some folks actually...

That rig belongs to Nick (who post here as Nobin), one of the best build threads you can read is here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=303017 Mine is the blue Suburban right next to his :)

Very nice to hear from a regular guy who went on one of these Mega Media trips...thanks for giving us the emotions and your perspective. 30 day travel visa had to be brutal for all the things you wish you could have seen. 1800 k's in 2 days, ouch man, pure ouch. I can only imagine the bond you...

wow that is a way cool rig Good luck with your build and please keep us posted on your travels after it is done.

Ever since my way overloaded FJ Cruiser I have been running my rigs over scales to see how obese they are. My top number was of course my Sportsmobile at 10,000 lbs. But realize that rig was built from the ground up by SMB West to handle that wgt and it always did amazing on the trail or...

Well we are back from our Black Friday to Sunday Adventure and of course on the way out of town we hit the scales to get a comparison for the Overland Journal LR4 project. You will see 4 rigs so that folks can get a good idea of traveling wgt: 5920 lb on the left Bundu Gear Lexus GX 5920 (1...

I am a huge fan of the Dr Bronners liquids, I use it for: dishes body wash shampoo clothes And you can get a nice variety of them, not to mention small bottles for flying or bigger bottles for camping. http://www.drbronner.com/ And if you are really bored reading the bottle is a hoot.

Ok I watched the South America one a few time because it was so great...and the last time I counted "shots" and it was over 260! That is a ton of editing and very impressive. I really like the time lapse stuff (wow a bunch of work to use a second or two) and the fast cuts of the hood driving...

I have used the latex paint with ceramic spheres mentioned in the post above on my Crusier Troopie and it made a big difference. Then I added FatMat on top of the paint and that really helped. Lastly I added the Reflectix in the roof, walls and a few places on the floor and by the time it was...

100 nights is hard to argue with.... What other air/foam pads have you used Scott just as a comparison? I have the 3.5in REI air/foam pads and while I "like" them and I "love" how REI backs up their gear I would be very interested in upgrading my Suburbans sleep inside setup as I am getting...

Clean and simple, I really like it. What did you use for the hinge side?

Congrats on expecting Larry.... Wow what a change in store for you guys eh? I will have to reach back into the memory banks for advice from when my boys where little. You have a great family platform in the truck until the little one gets out of a car seat. After that of course you will need a...

Wow, living in the desert makes my jaw drop to look at your pics and imagine driving along a creek like that. Are there places to camp along the way or is it more of a day trip place? So now I need a wall map so I can place pins in places like this to visit some day. thanks for posting the...

Thanks for writing this up....oh man do I really need to get to out that way more. I completely understand why you prefer to post on your blog vs a full write up here, but I want to also say thanks for giving the great teaser pics and comments so folks know going to the blog is worth it. Plus...

Holy Crap that is way cool.....been seeing hints of this on Facebook but great to see the build here. Now I gotta be the bad guy and ask if your "cheap" project didn't blow out a big budget? Looking back would you say it would have been better to spend more up front on a decent runner? Only...

pretty cool timing to get your parts brought down to you great write up and neat to see that you guys are in Baja now after the fun travels through the US looking forward to more in the future

what are the thoughts on price, and will they include any carry bag also will there is be discount for getting 2 or 4 chairs? any early adopters discount?

I was wondering if anyone actually soaked in that hot springs...not sure if I would have ever left it :) Great looking fish there, catch & release or dinner feast?
