Glad to see an update but I totally understand the desire to do homework first...or heck just to enjoy the trip without the hassle of updated us couch surfers :) I hope the pop isn't something major...maybe tie rod end and a quick swap/alignment gets you back on the road.

I gotta say I love this thing.. I folds really flat, about as flat as I could expect it to go...less than 1.5 in think I would guess. Very well made and sturdy, very impressive. And best of all the square shape combined with our grill basket means we can cook/grill things while we wait for the...

I agree that Fox picked the right folks to beat the crap out of those shocks...not to say you are rough on stuff Dave, just that you get out there and play in the dirt for real. Even as hard as you work there are still plenty of trips a year under your chassis :)

I can not say enough great things about these tires...I ran them on the Sportsmobile WAVE which was 11,000 lbs and put 35,000 miles on some 295/70/17 (I think) and never had a flat/issue of any kind, running them on every kind of terrian and condition. Then I went to 35's and loved those even...

I bought my Troopie with the 1HZ & 274,000 miles on the clock and got a solid 17mpg doing 65 mph on the highway. I just had my injection pump & injectors rebuilt so now I am going out this weekend to combine some highway & dirt and see what the new numbers are. I think with a turbo you get more...

yep you are covered for 138 & 153 I will update the first post to show them gone thanks guys!

Graham huge kudos to you for admitting that the silver is purely something that nags you and yet finding a budget way to get what you want. Someone else might have tried for some kind of justification but I love that it is your rig and you simply like it a certain way. I went back to this...

Well my friend...to take from Henry Ford...you can have any color as long as it is RED :) I wish I had other colors but the only green is spoken for...sorry. Still the red is easy to find if you drop it and looks great in any dash :) Huge thanks to all of you who have helped out so...

Huge thanks to all of you who are helping out DE by taking these disk. I have replied by pm to everyone so far and looking forward to making up some boxes tomorrow. I updated the first post with what is left. enjoy!

I have been beating the crap out of these lights forever it seems and they are great. Spotlight was cool enough to donate some laser engraved lights and now you can get one for only $10 plus shipping. I have a few of them so jump in! ONLY 3 LEFT Here is a link to the website...

Well it is time to clean house and put together a Disabled Explorers nest egg as part of the leadership transition. Watch for a ton of stuff over the next few weeks... I have a number of dvd's from Australian 4wd Action, these are video versions of the magazine that include a couple of travel...

Even with Disabled Explorers in a transitional phase there are cost and honestly I would like to have a nest egg to hand over to the new leadership (more on that soon). So over the next few weeks you will see a real housecleaning as I try to dig out everything I can to raise some funds. This...

as someone who owned a hannibal I can say that the ability to handle wind, rain, snow and such is based on the quality of the roof rack. I had mine mounted on a FJ Cruiser to a Gobi rack so is was tough and well built. The awning could handle serious wind, about 6" deep of water from rain and...

peroxide is no longer part of wound care... flush with water & dress...repeat often also neosporin is way over used... clean is the name of the game. On the CPR thing....dude you are preaching to the choir here. I code someone here in the hospital way too often and most of them don't ever go...

#2 and I will be third to say there is nothing wrong with a pelican case...they have been around a long time, have been around the world and carry a history worthy of note #4 doesn't strike me as "classic kit"...it is a cool image of tools, but I would need to see something more like a canvas...

Howdy Nick, I have been following your post on HUBB and I am glad you posted here also.. the data you collected has some serious value for folks as it helps fight the armchair overlanding that sometimes influences people. Thanks for going to all the trouble to save your info and pass it along...

Great trip report and amazing pics... I like the way your writing gives me the sense of history and place, along with making me wish I was there. Well except for the bugs :)

Don't worry about burn drsngs... I can tell you from working shifts at the Maricopa Country Burn Center that you can do just fine with lots of rolls of gauze and water clean enough to drink. Matter of fact I have taken alot of the fancy stuff out of my kits and mainly just trust to lots of rolls...
