The Patrol is looking good! I will be down your way in 3 months or so, maybe we can grab a beer? Cheers

Alrighty, I am sitting here on turkey day relaxing and figured I would do a re-cap on the build and why/how it has evolved into what it is. It is funny how a lot of trucks are with me. I buy one thinking it will be used for this and that and it quickly catapults off into other realms! It was...

I have never used GPS, I am old school map and compass guy. Sure I have used the generic GPS on my phone locally but it often frustrates me more than helps me. However, we just purchased a Garmin Oregon waterproof handheld GPS. In addition on recommendations from forum members I have loaded...

That is a good question. My reply is, boredom. That and there is so much to see and do in Latin America why just sit in one place? If we were to sit in one place and do the same trips over and over we would get bored fairly fast. So the plan is to move around a lot more and having vehicles makes...

Big Agnes and XS Power Batteries have both come on board as "pro" sponsors. :wings: https://www.bigagnes.com/ http://4xspower.com/ Cheers

It took a lot of head scratching but I have the new head unit working. Toyota certainly didn't make installing a non-stock stereo in these trucks easy! It really isn't to bad and there are great resources available on the internet for an install but I made a few mistakes early on that cost me...

I have picked up a few sponsors for the upcoming adventure seen here, http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/163189-Overland-Adventures-the-journey-to-a-new-life/page2 In addition to Total Chaos I have received "pro" sponsorship from XS Power Batteries. http://4xspower.com/ I will be...

You will not regret the purchase. They are really friggin nice, one of the best things I have done to the truck yet. You do have to remove the arm rests to get the covers on them and fitting well but that is easy. Cheers

Thanks Dan! I am following you as well on youtube and instagram. Great adventure you are on! We certainly will ask you any questions if we have them. By the way, I have always wanted to do Africa, maybe some day. Stay safe out there and enjoy the adventure! :) Cheers

Well I feel like I can name our current sponsors after having talked to a number of them recently. -TRAK Kayaks, Life Unleashed! http://www.trakkayaks.com/ -Stohlquist Water Wear. http://www.stohlquist.com/ -Adventure Medical Kits. https://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/ -Total Chaos...

Well, I went and ripped my head unit out last night! I got an older single din JVC head unit around, it only has had about 6 months use, so I wanted to install it. Got a little confused cutting wires at the amp, opps! So last night I decided to buy some new stereo components. I am keeping my...

First coat is applied, just waiting for it to dry to do the second. Cheers

Monstalining some of my truck. Yesterday was 10hrs of taping and sanding. It is ready to go now so today is laying down several coats of Monstaliner. Pics to come! Cheers

Thanks! I am really not doing a ton of planning though. I got a basic idea of what I want to do in the future for work. I have given it a lot of thought but not a lot of planning. I figure the planning comes when I am there and even then I am not HUGE on planning things all out. Not for myself...

Your youtube videos are great! Cheers

So far I like them and they are growing on me fast. I wanted drawers, real drawers. They were b/o'ed and may not have arrived before I need to get going. So I went with these. Downfalls I thought about with the cub boxes were I lose a bit of storage space. I can't put long items in the boxes...

I am not sure who makes it Mike, I got it from Front Runner. It is just a heavy duty all steel shovel with an edge put on it. Any shovel like this could get an edge put on it with a grinder. I have a few "sod" cutting shovels that you could do this too for example. They were just a bit to big an...

Things are coming together more. I have pushed the departure date back though to January 1st. I would like to be in Mexico for New Years, that is up in the air. Leaving a 20-year life and two businesses takes some time. Just recently picked up a DJI Phantom 4 so will be doing lot's of video...

Shovel/axe combo. Had one similar before and they are great. Cheers

I am shooting for being in Baja by New Years Kurt. So much to do still though, closing out 20yrs here. I have acquired a lot of stuff in 20yrs! Some of that like the Nissan Patrol stuff is hard to get rid of. If I do't make it down by January 1st I can't imagine it will be much to much longer...
