In reflecting on the question, it occurred to me that three of our longer trips were of a length that we travelled in both summer and winter on the same trip.

Since it seems that you don't plan on following the route taken, it may be of interest to consider the way we went last year. We did not enter Alaska, but our route took us close to several crossing points. Happy to offer thoughts if it helps.

We’re in Colombia and although we’re familiar with some of Guatemala not enough to offer any useful suggestions. Hope you find somewhere.

Definitely a social medium. I check most days when not travelling, and find something useful every few days. I tend not to check when on the road, however do stay connected to FB, LinkedIn, and to a couple of other media for specific objectives (seeking technical advice if/when needed, or...

Hmm - we're all different, however we' ve slept inside our LC80 (10 months in Africa), our Montero (10 months in Australia plus lots of travel in Colombia), and our Wrangler (5 months so far in Canada). It has worked well.

As noted, opinions vary, however: 2010-2018 in South America - Dunlop Grandtrek AT3 - good tyre on the highway, OK offroad - Pirelli Scorpion AT - similar to the Dunlops - Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S - the best of these three - good on the highway, more capable offroad. 2017 - In 2017 we made a...

Firstly decide where to attack the tree - is it better to work on the trunk or on the branches - the former takes longer to cut through, the branches may be faster but obviously there will be more of them. Think about where you can create the gap through which you will drive. In terms of...

What do you plan to do with it? If remote travel (a long way between refuel stops) then additional fuel capacity is useful. If you plan to be in hot climates (over 35 C most of the time) then an awning is useful. I could go on, however you need to figure out what you plan to do and what is...

We knew that a machete would be good to have (better than a saw because it's more versatile), however chose not to carry one to avoid potential problems at police checkpoints ("Why do you have a machete in downtown São Paulo??"). When we found our route blocked by a fallen tree and took 2-1/2...

To build on the "walkaround" we have checks we run every day and every driver change (normally every 2 hours). Among other things, a tyre pressure check every morning and at driver change. This has saved us driving off on a flat or low tyre and allowed us to repair rather than replace a tyre.

I had a Mk 1 Pajero in Africa for a while and it was very capable, although the track was a bit narrow. We have a Mk 4 Montero (same as a Pajero) at home - it has covered a lot of tough ground in Colombia and we took it to Australia for a 10 month / 48,000 km wander around the continent...

It occurs to me to ask whether you're familiar with the limits on time in each country. Schengen gives you (or should give you) 90 days in a 180 day period to stay in the Schengen area. Most non-Schengen countries allow 60 or 90 days. You should be allowed to stay in the UK for 6 months. The...

... and once you're in Nova Scotia don't miss the chance to go to The Rock!

I suspect this answer is not going to help you that much, however just looking at your photos I don't think you'll run into major problems. Every country is different so you need to check "Vehicle Construction and Use" regulations (or whatever may be the relevant phrase) for every country you...

Going from 265 to 285 will give you 14 mm more radius (hence height) if my numbers are correct. Every little helps, but if you have to modify the arches/etc., I'd go to 275 70R 17, which gives you 7 mm added clearance and take appropriate care to avoid rocks/stones/stumps.

Yes - wind chill is irrelevant if you're out of the wind. However, if you have to go out for some reason it's significant.

Very helpful, thank you.
