    overland season ends for this year

    Welcome from Germany Alex. I’m thinking of leaving my tent (hard shell) on this year. I need room in the garage for wood. We’re hoping for a better 2022 for traveling too. Rick

    Best GPS

    I used a Garmin Oregon 450 for many years for off road and hiking. I ditched it a few years ago and now use Maps.me and google maps. If I need to plan longer routes, I’ll import free OSM maps into Garmin’s basecamp, plot the routes, export the route in KML and import into Maps.me. It’s all free.

    Sounds like a great trip. Unfortunately no time off “zwischen den Jahren”. Have a great time!

    I’ve been using a 160 watt foldable from Offgridtec for quite a few years without any issues or noticeable reduction in performance.

    Finished my rebuild, suggestions for stabilization and leveling equipment

    Good to hear! Yep, they’re pretty handy. I’ve used one under my bottle jack for a bit more lift too. And as a wind break for a small fire. Depending on the tour I may carry recovery boards too. I carry them inside, in a Camp Cover bag, standing on their side, door to door where the rear seat...

    MidEurope (Germany): an information about the use of radio in rigs (so called microphone ban)

    MidEurope (Germany): an information about the use of radio in rigs (so called microphone ban)

    Hi Björn , allegedly is the important word. Because the suspension expired in June, right now it is forbidden to use a “microphone” while driving. Is that correct? I understand the law may change next year, (perhaps another suspension of the implementation), but that hasn’t happened yet. Is...

    Thanks for having me.

    Welcome!

    Trying to weight my suspension options

    I agree with the above above. Unless you plan on crawling or serious wheeling, you don’t really need a lift. Just pick the lines or trails that work for you and your ride.
