I bought my Trasharoo three years ago and chose the prefaded tan colored one. So far no signs of abnormal wear (or fading).

During the 2000’s when your Land Rover was made the company was actually owned by Ford Motor Company and many of the Land Rover parts had an identical Ford part and you can often purchase a Ford part in-lieu of the Land Rover one. Jaguars and Aston Martins of this era had this same scenario...

Good to hear from you Mike. We all figured you were in Baja for the past few months. FYI. We are planning a trip to the Owens fishing opener the last weekend in April.

If you could consider an extended cab truck that will seat 5 with a bed shell that would open up many more options to choose from.

Prior to my current vehicle I overlanded for about 20 years in a 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab. I really liked that truck and as such it was my primary vehicle for such a long time. It was in stock form with the exception of a good set of all terrain tires and would take me and my family pretty...

1. Drill two holes enough distance below the slot to accommodate the screws and to provide enough space for your ladder hooks to clear the bottom of your tent without the need for spacers. or 2. Get aluminum plate the same thickness as the spacers and as wide and tall as the bracket and drill...

I'm doing some research now on a possible 2-3 week overlanding trip in Mongolia later this year. My wife and I are looking at flying there and joining an overland tour or possibly renting a rig ourselves if there is a group of others travelling as well. There are a number of tour operators...

Going on a northern lights trip is one of the things I would like to do sometime. I haven't done much research so I am speaking out of ignorance on this but will there be much lights to see at the end of May up there? That's getting pretty close to midsummer night in June when it's mostly day...

I think that in many use cases for an overlanding vehicle a RedArc system or similar is overkill in terms of both capability and cost and that those types of systems are better suited for a more complex and use intensive application such as a large RV. In my case I have a fridge and the need to...

It all depends on what amount of rain fell in what area on what days along with the subsequent average, below average or above average temperatures after the rains. We had some unusually timed large blooms in Anza Borrego just a few weeks ago due to some freak showers in September. You can't...

I have two panels, one on top of each of my aluminum boxes on my roof rack. I mounted a flexible solar panel (55w) on a sheet of aluminum which then I riveted to the top of the case. The panels are always collecting whatever light they can during the day and I don't have to worry about setting...

You might want to check out what Bob Wells has on-line and on YouTube. He is a good source of information for full time RVr's especially those that have no permanent home and need to do full timing out of necessity. A link to this info on your specific questions is here: Choosing a State of...

I wish all the places I went had cell service. I then wouldn’t need my fussy Garmin InReach. Sometimes I am in areas that have no cell service for a few days.

The great thing about Jeeps is they have pretty active on-line forums for every model including the TJ. Here is a FAQ from the TJ forum on what to look for when buying a used TJ: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-should-i-look-for-when-buying-a-used-wrangler-tj.375/

If that is the factory steel bumper your son could sell it easily for around $1K depending on how complete it is as that will also fit on the Wranglers as well and is a desired upgrade from a base plastic bumper. If it is the base plastic bumper then that is a different story as those are hard...

Sandblasting off powder coat will take a long time especially on large items. Physical sanding will take much longer than that. Taking it to a sandblasting shop would probably be more cost than you want and doing it yourself a pain because you likely don't have a containment cabinet let alone...

So is the 90 day limit a limit for a particular country in that EU zone or is it the limit across all EU countries in that zone? I keep seeing references to just a six month limit on-line but have always been confused about the Schengen zone limits and whether that 90 days was just for an...

I had been researching the same thing on and off as I am considering shipping my Jeep over to Europe for a trip as well. All I have found are some statements that seem to imply that as long as your vehicle is legally registered in the US and you are considered a temporary visitor then there are...

Normally I would say there are no show stoppers on this route. I have done the first three days or so with a larger group that had some full size trucks and stock 4WD vehicles and we got through with no issues. That said I don't know what the road conditions will be next March. When I was...
