sounded like a nice diesel engine in there....just another reason for us in the USA to be unhappy.

Again as said above we need to know a bit more about YOUR van. 1/4 ton or 1 ton? Reg Body or Ext Body? Front & Rear sway bars lifted? 4wd and if so by who I had a Sportsmobile EB with Aluminess front & rear bumpers and a big box on the back along with a 35in tire. Never noticed a thing in the...

Dang Matt that would be too funny if you got yours on the road before me :) I know I won't start on mine until we get back from Australia which means August. And I still have to source a block/longblock/complete motor as my block was way too cracked to use. For know I will say that I am just...

Great write and just 1 more reason why I need to get south of Phoenix more often. Thanks for updating this thread with the short trips!

Jim you might want to download MPEG Streamclip as it is a free easy to use program that lets you chop up your segments before putting them in the video editor. I am not a master at video so if I find it useful then you know it is good :) Good job on the video & blog...I just wish I didn't have...

AdventureDuo Dave & Yoshi are part of this which means it will be super cool with great pics & write up Now I just want to see if Dave makes a mini-Trasharoo for the Trail 90's :)

great write up and pics... looking forward to more of the Subi Adventures :)

I would go for dual batteries or a jump start box also early in the list if solo travel is a common thing. And for me a fridge comes before a winch...at least if I get stuck I can enjoy the down time :) In all honesty a winch is such a rarely used thing me in the desert southwest that the value...

if you get anywhere near a scale it would be very good to know how much that jeep wgt's I will bet it is over 6500lbs with all the fiberglass & custom work...and worth every ounce :) great trip report style with the captions on the pics

great write up and shame the oystering didn't go better amazing pics you are getting there my friend

great write up and looks like a fun family outing It would cool to see more pics as I have never been to Death Valley but I really want to. Would you say your timeframe was too short or ok? I am thinking a week would be plenty of time.

a couple of cool builds you are getting going there... I really like that body style on the Montero. But honestly it is the time you are spending as a family that really makes all the difference. Good on you for getting out there with the kids and teaching!

As alwats Tim your combo of writing & pics are really great, your blog is one of the few that I check on a regular basis just to see what you are up to thanks for posting and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the story

Well Sean as one overlander to another I would say you need to pm me as I have a cigar connection you might just be interested in... Before I was a RN I owned a couple of cigar shops...yep I was a tobacconist. Now that job let me do plenty of travel through Central America and some choice...

And I am simply enjoying the rig right now :) I have a freshly rebuilt 700r4/turbo/inj pump and I am waiting to hear on finding a good block. The plan is to install the 40gal tank this weekend coming up.. Then when I get back from Australia (going for June & July) then I will install the 700r4...

I am taking my family (wife & two sons..21 & 14) to Australia for 2 months of travel. My 21yr old lives at home since he going to college but he is responsible for his moto/cell phone payments and he needed to save up to cover those (not much really). Otherwise we made a plan about 1 yr ago and...

Great write up and nice pics to go with the story... looking forward to hearing "the rest of the story" oh and impressive driving those first few days to get that far south!
