Good info on the suspension upgrades both front & rear...also good to know on the shock upgrades. I think the real "kudos" should go to the fact that you & your family are actually out there doing the overlanding thing for real, no arm chair quarterbacking from a cubicle or day dreaming of a...

While I seriously doubt I would challenge any hard core rocks and such, I like that mud, sand and gravel would be less of a worry for me. I also like that I can spread out some of the gear burden rather than have it all jammed behind me like a standard bike. And of course they are just plain...

Any word on when we can expect the review... I am absolutely in love with these and it is one of the few things the wife would accept as I am less likely to go belly up on it. Plus I just sat on one last Saturday which fired up the love again.

I was at the Pavillions Car Show in Scottsdale last Sat night and there was a 1200GS setup with an amazing farkle range :) The guy & his female friend said they loved it 2 up on almost every surface and he said that while it is heavy he learned to ride it well in the rocks (he is your size...

bump for a killer deal... oh and did the water pump get replaced so that it is fully drivable now?

I saw a flash of an old Sportsmobile converted Bus...very cool this will be a blast to watch

If you can hang in Arizona till the Overland Expo it would be well worth your time. Not only will you get fresh info on Baja, but you will meet a ton of people who either live in areas you want to or share your desires and have thoughts. Welcome and keep us updated with pics & stories.

Very nice video. I didn't realize the Earthcruiser had an inside shower setup, very very cool. Now if only there was a 4dr 4x4 version, although my 13yr just watched the video with me and said he would be willing to ride in the camper section :)

bummer no pics, but then again the best pics would have required someone outside the rally racer catching you spitting out sand :) I really like your car and even more I like how you keep putting it to good use.

I really really like my Eagle Creek folding thing that works perfect for shirts...shorts I just roll up. For a 20 day trip I would pack 5 shirts, 3 shorts, 10 socks and 5 boxers... Every 4 days I would do a rinse, wring, & hang of the shirts as I would want a slow rest day anyway, then on the...

I will post it here & there... Golden Boy Mobility in San Diego has done a number of jeeps and is who I would reach out to for help.

Hey at least if the van breaks you have somewhere to stay that has some room... If you can get that van either as a straight trade or come out with some cash then you are way way ahead of the game. Diesels go on forever, not sure on the 6.9 but that is easy to research. My rule with a diesel is...

This thead is why when I have my nervous breakdown I am keeping my mouth shut :) Just having fun to lighten the mood.... Phil I hope you know that all the advice you are getting it truly with your best interest in mind...not the advice for the most fun, interesting, creative, or best campfire...

Very cool to bring back a product that was/is loved... Did you buy the name also? Not sure how all that works on something that was around. If I could rewind the clock I would never have bought my FJ Cruiser and gotten a 4dr truck with some sort of folding/popup camper. One of the things I...

Ha I buy these at garage sales that have sat for YEARS with fuel in them... take them home, dump the fuel and refill with fresh, pump it up and it works great every time... Yours is still new really no worries in any way empty the fuel is really the most I would do, maybe once a year lube the...

I really think the diesel van than Jess -RoamingAZ mentioned is a great thing...depending on the price you could sell the cruiser for more and have a cash fund or maybe trade straight across if the values were close. A diesel ran that is known by someone you trust to be a good runner is a...

This is a great thread as my son's rig has a dash and center console that is falling apart... I worked with fiberglass in the early 90's a bit but had forgot all about it... Great thread and thanks! Now finish it up so I can learn more :)

thanks for this Chip... you are freaking amazing and someone should be paying for your ability to keep up with so much of what is going on in the world thanks again!

I am in complete agreement with Dan & Jess after reading their post... The fact that you could take all the automotive related stress out of the journey and end up with a van that lets you sleep inside and gets good mileage is a killer concept. You could end up with cash reserve at the end of...

OK all you landcruiser guys I need part numbers for what is needed to do a headgasket replacement on an 80 series I have access to a cylinderhead shop and I think I can get the work done for free or stupid cheap as a 1 time favor from the owner. The parts can be bought at the shops cost but they...
