    1941 the richardson pan-american expedition

    I enjoyed the first movie....it was cool to see them in a few of the places I have visited in my own truck. It also made me think how awesome it would be if the trip was still so wild. If I could only take my 1983 Nissan Patrol back in time and drive the route!

    The Patrol is officialy DEAD... Sad days for Nissan Fans everywhere.

    The new Patrol is designed for the Middle East market. Rumors for some time have been that this replaces all models of Patrols worldwide thus putting an end to the live axle legendary vehicle. If you watch videos of the new Patrol being tested in the Middle East it does fairly well. Eats up...

    Ultimate Expedition Vehicle

    Me....I wouldn't go to large. Just not enough room in a lot of countries on the roads for a large vehicle. Can you do it in a large vehcile? Of course. it is going to be a pita though to get through many towns with very small streets. Plus much much harder to find a place to camp with a large...

    Estes Park, CO area August 2010

    Cool pictures! I was through there in about 2004. A guy in Estes Park gave me a 1965 Nissan Patrol. We picked it up and towed it through Rocky Mountain National Park. Awesome area!

    The Patrol is officialy DEAD... Sad days for Nissan Fans everywhere.

    The QX56 is pretty much already available in the USA. You can configure yours here.... http://www.infinitiusa.com/qx/ The 4.8L petrol engine has been discontinued for the Patrol. Nissan no longer makes it, confirmed by friends in Australia. A rumor is floating around that the Y61 will stay...

    A Trip To Nowhere and Everywhere

    yeah my dog sits in the same place, I can't imagine doing it with a dog the size of yours though! My boat has 3 portals that my dog would easily fit in. Thing is I can't get him to sit in them, he just is not having it! For awhile I used a float tube towed behind my boat with the dog in it but...

    A Trip To Nowhere and Everywhere

    Cool! Got any pictures of boating with your dog? I ask because I do it too. Although my dog is not a water dog and not very fond of going out in the boat. He is a lot smaller than your dog too.... Nice trip report, thanks for write up and pics thus far!

    Congrats on finally getting on the road! I am a bit south of you in Jackson, Wyoming. Look me up if you come this way. Free camping in my front yard! The Taco looks heavy! I have some used Airlift air bags you can have, for free. They have tire plugs in them though and do leak a little bit of...

    Surfing Beginner

    This is what I learned about surfing last winter....I spent a lot of time in Mexico & CA learning to surf. I would say I still can't really surf but.... I learned it is much different than many of the other board sports I have done. Other than there is a board under your feet it is not like...

    Used Unicat

    Actually my opinion comes from experience. Having traveled a fair amount ovrseas and yes even a drive to Panama and back. So, my opinions do not come from experience? By all means go for it! You certainly will have an adventure and after the trip can report back your experiences so other people...

    First Successful Tire Plug!

    On my 15k road trip not a single flat or plug needed, in the tires that is! But there is more than one use for a tire plug.... More than 15k miles now with tire plugs in my air bag. It still holds, leaks a bit but not bad. I only have to top the air off in the bag once a week.

    Mahindra 4x4 pickup

    I shift in my auto all the time. Down from drive to 2nd or 1st to help me slow down or up a mountain pass to keep the tranny from shifting. From what I have seen very few people do that. Most put it in D and forget about it, often at the expense of their brakes. Just go to Wilson, Wyoming to...
