    Around the world in my Icon. Looking for ideas.

    You may want to have Icon increase strength on a lot of the suspension components. From what I have seen the brackets they use as well as how it is welded to the axles and frame is on the weak side. You wouldn't want a link to fail you in the middle of BFE. Also Johnny Joints are cheap and tend...

    1964 Nissan Patrol soft top restoration

    This is not exactly an "expedition" truck build. This is a restoration of a truck however that truck (aka Nissan Patrol) knows what expeditions were back in the day and still does to this day! A tid bit of info, the 60-series Nissan Patrol was the first vehicle to cross the Simpson Desert in...

    Real world mpg's

    3rd party inspection helps with buying sight unseen. Toyota dealerships be happy to do it, for a fee. I was in my Buddy's 85 4Runner a few weeks back for a bunch of off-roading. Honestly, it really grew on me. Smaller than the Cruiser for sure but nearly as cool. He has stuff I don't have too...

    Real world mpg's

    You might be surprised what a Subaru will do. I have got video of one in Australia fording a solid 12-18" of water plus tearing up the dunes and this was with a 1st time off-road driver. Not saying that is what you should do with yours, it is the wife's car and all. I can't agree more about...

    Trak Kayaks - a travelers boat

    A picture Jaime took of me in the Trak is up on the White Sea Magazine webpage as a promo shot. I thought it was pretty cool, especially since I support no clear cuts! http://www.whiteseamag.com/

    Cruiser Gearing

    Where does "overseas" mean? In most countries the speed limit is much lower then up here in N. America. Most of Central America it is 60 to 80ks per hour, maximum.

    Should this be the theme song of the Rally?

    Another fav of mine which fits the theme at least a little and I love this when when on a road trip.

    Should this be the theme song of the Rally?

    So far all "end of the world" songs so hows about this one....I like it a lot.

    Maya Rally Questions (But Maybe Not Answers)

    Sounds good. Thanks for clarification Christian. I looked at Guanuajuato on the map and the date for the meet there being roughly 10 days before 12-21, this helps a lot with planning. cheers

    Rocky Mountain Team

    Well that clears some of if not most of that up, thanks. So I only see a point in traveling with others for just that, since a "team" can't be more then one vehicle.

    Should this be the theme song of the Rally?

    I second that.... Funny I used to listen to The Suicide Machines a lot over 10yrs ago. Don't even think I have heard them since, until this was posted. PLEASE no Britney Spears! :D

    Maya Rally Questions (But Maybe Not Answers)

    How are teams being handled? Meaning can a team of 2-3 or more vehicles win the event together? Or is just one team per vehicle? Have you considered people from Central America countries participating and them driving up for the event rather then us driving down? So I guess I am asking is this...

    Rocky Mountain Team

    Well I would like to travel with others and not just from our region. Thing is right now I am really wanting to hit up Baja for 2-4 weeks before the rally. Then take the ferry over and join the rally. That may or may not happen. I am still unclear how the event will shape up exactly, I know...

    ScreenName: Ummm...this is kind of obvious right! :p Real name is Ian Number in party: So far just me, not sure if I am bringing my dog on this trip or not. I have a few friends interested in being my co-pilot but we are a ways out for people like them (or me) to plan much yet. International...
