Such a privilege to interview our friends at Vibes of Panama for Expedition Portal. They share about their overland journey from Panama to Alaska, finding their Defender 110 Crew Cab, and getting stuck during the pandemic. Read the interview here on Expedition Portal.
Caspian and I just finished your Cholula video, which was fun because it's somewhere we've actually been. <3 My favorite part was your *Cholula isn't made here note. ?
We were fairly happy with the weBoost...until we tried a MIMO. A MIMO antenna is $30 on Amazon, versus the weBoost which sets you back hundreds. The key with the MIMO is that it only connects to certain hotspots. When we got ours in 2018, it was the latest Verizon Jetpack that was compatible...
No need to reinvent the wheel. There is a whole community of location-indepedent, working-age RVers who have been working on this problem for many years. First, check out Mobile Internet for RVers and Cruisers (I'm not affiliated, though the owners are my friends). They are *the* go-to source on...
Our current plan is to do a 60-delete in the backseat of a Gladiator to install a fridge. So the fridge would sit on the passenger side. It would be awesome to fit it on a slide, so we can easily access storage underneath and fully lift the lid. The door of the Gladiator is cut oddly, so slide...
You're bringing back memories of our trip in February/March! We made it all the way up and down the peninsula right before all the shelter-in-place stuff started going into effect. That Calimex in San Felipe is a good one. Sorry you got sick. :/
Thanks for sharing! We did interior Mexico in early 2019 and loved it. Tried to scratch the itch early this year in Baja, but it didn't quite happen. Plan to return to the interior later in 2021 on our way to South America, and would love to visit this part of Jalisco. I'm currently searching...
We just launched Hourless Life, as we prepare to drive around the world. Planned departure is early fall 2021. We'll be publicly announcing our global overlanding rig this month. Our email list is the best place to stay up to date.
My husband and I thought about your listing for a few days. It threw us for a loop because, as you know, we're working on a similar build for global overlanding. But in the end, we decided we need to stick with the Sport + Max Tow Package. With our four-year-old onboard, we really need the extra...
I love how you included the list of what you packed with you. So the Land Cruiser you purchased came with all the overlanding gear, including the fridge, awning, etc.?
This is excellent, thank you. Your planning style is essentially what we've been doing in North America for the past six years. (We've been traveling full-time since 2014, but family and work commitments have kept us largely in the United States.) As we get closer to our international departure...
Thank you for starting this thread! I'm going to read through your blog. But I'm curious: did you have an average distance you drove on travel days, or perhaps a maximum mileage you tried to stick to? We'll cross into Central America in early 2022 and figure we may take at least two years to do...

Excited to share my first Expedition Portal article about what I've learned about full-time travel from sheltering-in-place. This has been our first time "forced" off the road in more than six years of full-time traveling...
Have you compared the current kit to payload yet? Wish we had done that from the beginning. Now we're trying to figure out what all we can take off...
In better news, really awesome mileage for that year. In 2016, we bought our 2014 JKU with only 14K. Fixed that pretty quick.
Family of three, but we've full-timed out of our JKU Rubicon over 4,000 miles in Mexico. With a big carseat.
Our general setup:
-Rear is ARB fridge on the right, custom/simple drawer system on the left for kitchen items and a few small pantry items.
-To the right of the fridge in the cubby...
