Thanks very very much for the epic pics and family adventure... My younger son is 13 and I can see my family doing the same trip. How do you get such a great sky in your images? Thanks again and honestly I like the parts about being on the road & getting there/back just as much as the dirt...

thanks for posting this... for those of us who don't live in an area but still love trip reports the way you described everything helped me feel like I was there.. not to mention makes me want to jump in my rig and get going North :) thanks again

I use my phone to access the web more than I do to make calls...texting is #2 and emailing #3....really voice is the last on the list :) I like the pocket size web device that my phone really is. But I hate the cost, it really adds up when you look at it over the course of the year. Honestly I...

excellent work showing what a person can do with a bit of thought and handycraft. always nice to see folks create a solution that works for them now I am also looking forward to more trip reports

I will agree with the protection thing.. I had a partial wrap on my FJ Cruiser and when I peeled it off the paint under was very very well protected.

any pics of the cab, maybe with the doors opened. I know a disabled person that would be perfect for something like this with suicide doors.

didn't know that 80 with the 1HDT would be for sale....mental wheels are turning :)

Christian... funny you should mention that as I have a few of folks who are really close to pulling the trigger in the form of cash or trades. However there are 2 issues at work.. 1) I wanted to get all the worst case pics posted so there is no post sale drama. 2) There is that part of me that...

I took some more detailed pics and started to compile a list of all the goodies I will throw in with the rig... It it looking like I have someone lined up to put a deposit on this world travel ready bad boy, and best of all it is someone already in the cruiser/expo/mud family! Yippie the build &...

On my Sportsmobile I really loved the Nitto Trail Grapplers..I ran both 33's on 17in wheels and the upgraded to the 35x10.5x17 (I think that was the size)...those gave a ton of sidewall for airing down an 11,000lb rig. 40,000 miles with never a flat or any issue running on rock, mud, snow and...

Great trip & pics but most of all great attitude about the adventure. Not sure if I could handle it as well as you did. Thanks for bringing us along and I am looking forward to more.

Wow that is an amazing trip... I agree with the idea that having my wife along often slows down the trip and makes it much more relaxing. Great to hear you had no bug issues as that would be my greatest fear of getting up to your area. Thanks for posting!

Hey Tim, glad you found this thread and that nighttime shot is just what I had in my head when you posted. The fold down table is a really killer part of your setup. We are not going to Oz until next June so 7 months to hit the trail, smoke some sticks and enjoy some beverages...and pick your...

Took a bunch of detail pics for you guys and put them in a gallery I will link to at the bottom of this post... But real quick a few that I thought some folks might be interested in.. First the roof is 6ft 9.5in sitting on 33's and I was told a 2in lift....fits in my carport if I unscrew the...

I recently changed out the clutch slave cylinder as the old one was leaking. Bled the system and all seemed well. I will post a pic but it doesn't look like a have a clutch booster like the brakes have. Much smaller parts & housing. It isn't so much that the clutch is stiff, really it is easy to...

Hey Paul...it would look great with big ol' Equipt Stickers to match the one on the fridge :) I will be going out in the am to take more detailed pics of the inside & out...and under and engine and all that. As to saving it for my younger son...well he is getting my granddad's 72 Chevy 1/2 ton...

Hey Moody, It was your 80 that got me thinking trade instead of straight up sell....I am open to all kinds of ideas :)

http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/37-Expedition-Vehicles yeah I am running into issues being an left leg below the knee amputee and driving a manual trans... It seems I am messing my hamstring and residual muscle tissue causing cramps. So I am entertaining offers of trade or cash to...
