    Overland Training Alumni Baja Adventure

    Great shots Andy...I don't think I will ever have the eye many of you guys do. The trip was a blast and I am already thinking of stuff I left out of my report... Everyone else that went please add your thoughts and your memories.

    Overland Training Alumni Baja Adventure

    W.A.V.E. thoughts... With my only previous 4wd ownership consisting of the FJ Cruiser and a 70's Chevy Blazer in High School I have to say that I LOVE driving a Sportmobile. I went into the WAVE project knowing it was what Disabled Explorers NEEDED but might not be what I would like on a...

    Overland Training Alumni Baja Adventure

    Trip thoughts.... Overall the trip was a huge success in my mind. Traveling with fellow Overland Certified folks meant little concern over who might have enough food, water or not know their fuel range. Everyone did a great job of working out our different travel styles and what few...

    I can only imagine the clutch took a beating the way that buzzing bike was beating the trail dashing from rig to rig, tail sweep to trail leader. Jeremy was riding the snot out of that bike. Oh and Brian your stormtropper body armor was pretty trick out on the trail :) Glad to hear you guys...

    Overland Training Alumni Baja Adventure

    Tuesday- Beach Camp...dirt routes..diving pelicans..surfacing dolphins...and a secret canyon full of cool pictographs. This was a day of finding out just how valuable ham radio can be. We were able to spread out for dust, keep in contact and advise about fast moving oncoming traffic. Route...

    Quick tidbits from Disabled Explorers

    I got his info to see if there is anything my guys at Artifical Limb Specialist can do to help him out. He has an amazing story of his life, lost the first leg in the late 80's/early 90's and then the second leg last year. Funny guy and well worth a stop if you are romping around Baja. Thanks...

    A leg up for amputees

    The great thing abut this company is that the idea was born out of a desire to help a fellow offroader they know. This gentleman is getting on in years and having trouble getting in his rig. What I was impressed with was their desire to work on something the size of the WAVE. The Sportmobile...

    I never said pillowtracks were the only solution to any problem....any person of reasonable mind knows there are many solutions each having its merits. What I challenge you to do before you come back on me so strongly with a use I suggest is stop and reference "why" I am making this suggestion...

    A leg up for amputees

    Funny how you can build a rig thinking of wheelchair users and then make it tough for amputees to get in :) The WAVE may be very wheelchair friendly but we noticed pretty quick that for amputees like me it is a bit of a jump to get inside. Luckily one of the reasons we attend events like the...
