We've had a few unexplainable experiences but nothing we could say for sure what it was. The first was in Chile, it was spring and we were visiting a National Park. It wasn't officially open yet but they let you 4x4 in if you want for free, there was one other vehicle in the parking area. We...

We can't swing it but have a couple recommendations. Take a break in Banff NP if you can, it's a fantastic park. We also should have spent at least two nights at Liard Hot Springs instead of one so it's another great spot to work in a zero day.

Don't carry pepper or bear spay either. A can of hornet/wasp spray is some of the best stuff on earth, most can shoot 20ish feet and it's sticky.

No, not even a spent casing as that can land you in jail as well. We spent 7 years on the road, 4 of those in Latin America. The most important tool regarding security is your head. Many have been robbed on free beaches, a known issue even when we were driving South, why risk it when someone's...

Our last big loop before pulling off the road was from Florida out West and back, about 6.5 months in total. We didn't have to work, I did a little, so we could move around a lot. We started north to KY then went west via KS, NE, SD to WY. We spent a month between Grand Teton and Yellowstone...

In our opinion, having an inside space is essential for a two year trip. As Bjoern stated, giving us an idea of where you plan to travel would be helpful. Are you planning to stay in the US or a different continent? Will you be working?

If you need to ship the part from the US to Colombia use Servientrega. You have to setup a Clubox and send the part there. Once it arrives you will add an address for Colombia, you can use one of their offices, and they will ship it there including clearing customs. They own their own planes so...

It looks like Ubuy can get it but the delivery date is May 19th.

Ubuy can get AutoZone parts, it may also have one of the variants...haven't checked

Yes, I didn't notice you posted it. We have been to that shop. While they couldn't help us they were a great bunch of guys and happened to have a Venezuelan on staff that was familiar with our engine. They confirmed our diagnosis and helped us get a lead on the part. They were going to install...

If you have to ship the part from the US you can use CargaTica. We didn't use them but we used a similar service in Colombia.

Reposting to this Support Alert: Have you been to a large shop? We had to have brake calipers replaced due to a seizure and they were able to get the part from San Jose. Ironically that was after we had returned from the States with a new Power Steering Pump since the quote from Ford was more...

Have you been to a large shop? We had to have brake calipers replaced due to a seizure and they were able to get the part from San Jose. Ironically that was after we had returned from the States with a new Power Steering Pump since the quote from Ford was more than it cost for us to fly round...

We have a Cook Partner and an Iwatani 35FW single burner butane stove. We prefer the Iwatani but do use the Cook Partner as our primary outside stove. The Iwatani is our inside stove and also our front bumper stove for coffee etc on the go or while at a pullout/beach side parking etc. There are...

We built our rig for fulltime use and kept it after our travels. It's a 1 ton van that has been converted to 4wd, leaf sprung, so it isn't the best for daily driving but we both work from home so we don't drive all that much anyway. Today we took the morning off and went to the beach, we love...

I tell people all the time that getting rooms isn't only for moto riders. We met a woman in Colombia who didn't have a tent, cooler, stove, etc...she had driven down from the US just as we had. She did eventually get a RTT and single burner butane stove but she ended up tagging along with us in...

Our favorite is Wide-Eyed Wanderers (A befuddling journey from the rat-race to the roads of Latin America & Africa) by Richard and Amanda (Bejarano-) Ligato.

Anytime. We spent 4 years driving Alaska to Argentina so we have a few favorites :wink:. Keep on keepin on!

And suddenly A.I. Overland was born...
