This isn't exactly the adventure you set out in search of.
Long story short, overheated and engine locked.
Frustrated? Yeah, just a little. But I'm more thankful than anything. Made it across three lanes of traffic and parked it where you see in the pictures. The way I see it, if God can part...
Got out and did a little exploring over the weekend. It's not Moab or a pass in Colorado, but it was outside, off the pavement, and a change of pace for a few minutes.
Honestly, it's probably more urban exploration than anything.
Someone will probably want to see the hole to the left in...
You, sir (and the rest of your crew), have my attention. This is one of those trips, like others, that I'd like to do someday. Definitely going to follow.
Definitely following along.
Quick question on the air line fitting, specifically where it's exposed. Are you going to be making a cap or something to cover it?
Between the wind and the weight of the door, the pins and fender didn't stand a chance. The door probably would have been fine, but I just figured I'd get it back to a clean slate of sorts.

This is a review from Australia, but I think much of it is applicable. The steering wheel is just on the other side.
I've definitely not abandoned the brand, but I sure do understand your dad's view. I'm much more of a...
I grew up in (and later wound up driving) a 1990 240 wagon that my parents bought when stationed in England. It went to beaches, out camping, crossed creeks, and traveled down muddy dirt roads. Sometimes while carrying four people, two dogs, and all our stuff when we would travel to visit...
I've been around the B.O.B. discussion and it's often recommended to not use a backpack or bag that looks obviously prepared or tactical. You'd want a bag that, in a way, sort of blends in and doesn't raise any eyebrows, or draw people's attention to you as someone who is prepared.
