sorry I kept meaning to update this since the tent sold but one distraction after another got in the way... the Oztent is happy in it's new home and looking for more adventures.

Great pics and looking forward to more... I will agree that you can do some great trips with a simple stock rig and good friends.

Dang I wish I had known you were going to spend some time in Arequipa as that is where my wife is from and we have plenty of family there. Her family has a big farm and does wine & pisco (they have won awards for that) along with honey (very dark and yummy) and cuy (guinea pigs). The cuy is...

Great write up and excellent pics... Good on ya' for getting the young one out into the wide world and giving them that kind of experience, they will be talking about it for years. I love Baja and it is always nice to hear about someone else having a good time, just goes to show why I don't...

I am not a "Ford" guy but I gotta say you are rolling in a nice chunk of old iron there my friend. That is an interesting shell and I like the side window/doors. I bet with some insulation work and once the cab is done you will be pretty happy. Looking forward to meeting at the Overland Expo if...

Big thanks for the pics and comments...don't worry about being phone pics, that is better than nothing. You have me really excited for the show in June since we will be in the area for our vacation. Thanks again for the report.

Big thanks Nick for adding your story and pics....great work on both by the way. It is always fun to see a trip from the different eyes of those who were there. Even though the weather looked cold and miserable it still would have been great to be there and hang with everyone. It will be fun...

Great write up Bill and thanks for the pics... I knew your motor was fairly fresh but I didn't realize how fresh...kudos to you for making the adventure like that. On the mileage thing...I have noticed a big difference between what I get at 60mph vs 70+...sure it adds a bit of time but it takes...

I love my Hennessy since as an amputee there is no way to fall out of them. The unique entry/exit setup makes like a breeze for me and they are well built.

Great pics and looking forward to hearing Nick & Bill chime with their reports... Yeah I was super bummed to miss this as I had everything all set up.However I worked wed night at the hospital and starting about midnight knew I was having a kidney stone attack...by the time I finished my shift...

Should make for some fairly period correct pics of our pits :) My wife & son gave me the green light on this event as they both had things going on that would have kept me in town. Should be a great time, I hope to get some fun pictures & video along with helping with Spanish, wrenching...

I have owned 2 Extreme Outback setups...the High Output and the Magnum. If you want to run tools then either of these will work but put in the largest tank you can fit. Tools really suck up the volume. Of course the Magnum is better and not really a big price increase. Now if you have the space...

Ok so I jumped around on some of the forums linked and to a couple of vendors but I am confused at to which light I want for my 1970 Suburban with a stock wiring harness and a 95amp alt. I am ok with changing the harness just need to know what connector to change to. I also need to know what...

Great write up and pics....although I normally don't jump over to yet another forum for reports I am glad I did for yours. Having run the Camino a few times all those side options have caught my eye but never had the time to do them. Now I want to go back and spend time just on the side trails...

Great report on a quick 3 day trip....really shows how you don't have to make some multi-week outing to have a great time. These are the kinds of trips we can all manage even with high fuel cost. Looks like a good time and I have always wanted to visit Death Valley, thanks for more inspiration...

Having run around the desert southwest with a few H1 owners I would say width is the biggest concern. Swithbacks, turning around, small streets in Mexico or even small town USA, parking/moving around when selecting camp sites .....these are all times when I wide vehicle is no fun at all. Having...

Thanks John for the offer of trip advice, I will pm you soon on that... Speaking of the Brisbane Show do you know of any shows in June or July around the country...I tried searching but didn't come up with much. We will be train hopping in late June & July so easy to make something cross...

Mostly I commend you on taking Mr Smails seriously and posting something civil and with a gentleman's style. Smails my friend it looks like a quality build/support team is coming together for you. And as I have gotten to know you a bit better through this thread I have a special offer for...

Hey John...we are looking at coming over to Australia for a 2 month holiday instead of a work contract (could not get insurance coverage on my fake leg) and I would really like to tour your shop if that is allowed. We are planning on doing 1 month of 4wd camping and then 1 month of train...

Smails....I would agree with your desire for a toned down color choice. Icon does a great finish on their rigs that should be excellent for your expedition. I have run some trails in the Las Vegas area with an Icon owner and once a bit of dust settles on the finish it is very "under the radar"...
