Because it messes up your steering? sorry, could not resist. :-)

Truly amazing story.....will have to check out the exhibit should I ever get the chance. Wonder if they ever published a book about the trip?

LOL

Do not know who the owner(s) are, but I spotted this nicely outfitted G while on my way to an appointment. I wish I had time to hang around and meet the crew...would have loved to get better pictures and an idea of how it is set up inside. Had to settle for a quick picture from my window. Taken...

:-) I just love it when priorities are right!!!!!!

My advice is: "don't be afraid of the electronics" The current "debate" about the suitability of complex electronic systems for extended overland travel is very much the same as has been had before. I can recall similar discussions about automatic transmissions, fuel injection vs carburettors...

And where would you get parts for it........?

I can second this!!!! Very well done magazine offered at a fair price. The first three issues were packed with good information and well written articles. I highly recommend it.

and one thing I would like to add....consider where you will be overlanding; If it is in developed countries (US, Western Europe, etc) then you can mod to your hearts desire...if, however, you plan to travel in undeveloped areas, then all those high end mod parts may be difficult to find a...

If I was to carry jerry cans, I would put them in a single row directly behind the front seats... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Roof rack is a poor choice for carrying heavy objects like fuel cans....plus you get that sloshing back and forth associated with any liquid. You should seek to carry them much closer to your vehicles center of gravity. Just my 2 cents, mind you.

I can only speak for myself.....my solution was add a extra fuel tank (actually 2), thereby eliminating the need to carry jerry cans of fuel.

To each his own....for myself, I find the widened stance ruins the clean lines of the G.....

Roof racks are a poor place for heavy objects like full fuel and water cans. Add to the problem by having liquid sloshing back and forth.... I recommend that cans be moved much lower to the COG. Just my 2 cents

Yep....you nailed it!

The next time you are sitting on the side of the road in backwoodsville wherever, tell me about how you fabricated whatever part you broke or about how you can build your rig in your sleep.....but tell me after the tow truck (if you are lucky enough to be able to find one) gets you back to your...

I absolutely disagree..though I will admit I have no what the actual breakdown of mechanical savvy vs no clue mechanically is..... Being on the road for longer periods tends to make you more knowledgeable about your vehicle and how to fix "the small things". I am not saying that every...

Less than 200 miles with that many mechanical issues....doing something very, very wrong. Do that in some of the more remote parts of the world and you are in for a very bad time....a potentially fatal one at that... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Certainly not trying to be condescending or insulting here.....but this is one of those things that bother me when I hear about people talking overlanding or expo builds.... There is a big difference between "wheeling", "rock crawling",(whatever) and true overlanding. I can understand the...
