wow amazing pics Mark, I am really impressed by your ability to capture the mood & moment. My son & I have aobut 4-5 day next week for fall break and I wasn't sure where to go...now I am thinking of going up to Beef Basin, thanks!

I totally agree on the Dr Bronners...both the quality of the product and the fun of reading the bottle. I am all about things that serve mulitple uses...and Dr Bronners can be used as body wash, shampoo, dish soap and even toothpaste. Oh and as to emerg uses how about as a lube with reseating...

very very cool report and amazing pics... looking forward to following you two for the entire journey, thanks for taking us along... So just curious but what did you do with the old wheels & tires? Did the shop give you anything for them?

That is a positive attitude right there :) The sky's should be clear by the weekend with great temps for working, looking forward to a good time.

Being an amputee I have to sit to shower which makes things tough... So I normally either use the baby wipes each night before bed or will take advantage of the hot water system on the Sportsmobile to do a rag wipe down. Then about once a week I can manage to put together a longer stay and...

I really dig the Father/Son thing and I hope either of my boys will make such a phone call to me someday way down the road. great writeup and pics....looking forward to more

OH this is great... keep it coming! And there is never such a thing as a short hike where you don't need anything. My friends & family make fun of me about taking my small pack with me for a "short hike"..but my rule is if you are gettting out of eyesight of the rig then BE PREPARED

Hey there, My son and I worked RB#1 on Perkinsville ? with Michael (BajaXplorer) and Mark (crawler976) Friday night and enjoyed seeing your rig closing the course. But Sat was even better as we moved down to Roadblock #6 where there was a cattlegaurd down in the low area before a hill climb...

Or even better come up early enough to help with the trail repair, gotta show the Forest Service how grea the OHV community can be..not to mention keep a well known trail alive.

Well I don't have the Amsoil kit on an 80 series, but I am very impressed with the dual filter setup on the Disabled Explorers Sportsmobile. It makes filter changes a breeze and running 10k miles on oil changes (they say 15k is fine) makes the expensive oil last longer.

Absolutely great trip report & pics... Thanks for reminding us to slow down and take it all in. Looking forward to taking the family up there someday soon.

OH very cool to see both of you...Veronica will be with me and I wanted to make sure she got to meet Robin. Looks like we will be having a great mix of folks, I hope plenty of new people come by and are welcomed into the fold.

Looks great Drew! Floor to ground clearance is the big hassle when it comes to lift. I really like the lift you are using and just wish it was possible to get a longer arm setup or something. Great build and keep us posted

Very cool and welcome, Of course there are a ton of questions we have for you like...are you a US citzn and importing it temp? Will you have to return the rig to Oz before departure or can you run around the Americas before returning? If you check out these threads for cool euro builds on...

Dude I am a dork...you mentioned it as a tow rig and yet I kept looking at those rear door pics :) Sorry about that. The fold away lifts are way cool and I really like'em. Ricon/VMI has been working on the clearview for a while, they are based here in Phx so I will go by and get a status...

A couple of thoughts... 1) Don't hype the engine, remember these are in vans not trucks and just don't cool as well. If you aren't on the powerstroke forum and other diesel sites start hanging out and you will see that the most dependable vans are the ones with little to no engine mods 2) Since...

I am running 2 cameras: 1) a Canon HV20 which is HD and uses tape, has a shotgun mic and is big compared to some of the stuff out there, the tape makes a nice backup but the download and processing time is longer compared to other options 2) Kodiak Zi8 which is like the Flip, shoots HD, has a...

This is one of those times when I wish both had a radio that could do the cross band repeat and then knew more about it. I am looking forward to your thoughts on that antenna Mark as I have the same radio and would like something for longer distance comm when I am with the Boy Scouts

No cash or sponsor love for swapping out the lift yet...Braun won't give me the time of day and that it after meeting Ralph Braun himself, oh but they did send a copy of his book :) Honestly none of the lifts are made for off road use, I have learned that you need to keep a small broom around...

will you be doing the hotel thing or trying to sleep in/on the rig? of course I love a fridge so that is worth doing, maybe going with bucket seats in the passenger area and a fridge in the middle? ARB make a 12vdc LED light called the Adventure Light, it is great for around camp Quality...
