    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Awesome! Look forward to having some company. Are you gonna overland it or is it a DD that'll stay stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    That looks great! How do the Rotopax secure themselves? I've been thinking I may need to grab something like that for bringing water/fuel on upcoming camp outs. Do they just free float in the basket? Can't quite tell from your shots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid

    I'm a 4th in this department! They just got me out of my first jam last week. Very happy with how they perform and the fact they for under my wagon's rear floor is fantastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you think should be my first Mod?

    While some don't consider tires a "mod", I'd say that's the first thing I did that genuinely increased my capabilities beyond stock. 1. Tires 2. Undercarriage Protection 3. Illumination 4. Lift Was more-or-less my personal order of ops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water Crossing

    I've never forded anything more than about 20-24" deep in my lifted Volvo wagon. I just crossed my fingers and said a Hail Mary then made sure to keep momentum to push water away from the grill/intake. Some muddy water came in the door seals and got on the sills and all weather mats in the foot...

    Central New Jersey Monthly Meet Kickoff

    That's actually only 90 minutes from me up in the Hudson Valley. Usually have the kids with me all weekend but maybe I could make something happen with them in tow? Are there good trails there? I never explore jersey, I honestly always assumed it would be a wash like a lot of the more developed...

    Went On my first spring trail run in The Adventure Wagon[emoji769] yesterday... And as the snow and ice all begins to melt away.... Look what I found: [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] That's right! It's my entombed iPhone! I didn't have a chance to clean off and try and boot up last night...

    Broverlanding Tacoma

    Sorry somehow missed this reply. Some unexpected kid/family expenses came up which mean any rig purchases getting pushed into next month [emoji853]. I'm also just looking for awning no walls no brackets and I imagine your trying to keep this a set. I'll keep this in mind if it's still around...

    What you need to start overlanding. (The answer may suprise you)

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Glad to hear it man; thanks! I also own a Polestared V60 R-Design so I hear ya on the C30! They are too small for me since I have two toddlers, but they are a great, quirky hot hatch. To be honest, your Tacoma is infinitely more capable than my XC any day of the week. But part of the fun of...

    And to reward your patience with my lack of imagery yesterday I offer up a few nice poser shots taken at a really cool riverside location prior to running aground. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Today's adventure update is a rare one in that it comes with NO PHOTOS! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] I know. Bear with me... The Adventure Wagon[emoji769] has been sidelined for a bit by its need for axles. It isn't undrivable per se, but it's really unpleasant to drive for very long, so it's...

    Kids and Overlanding

    Thanks man; I appreciate that. It's really really tough with my older son. At present most of our trips are what I have dubbed "Naptime overland" [emoji23] that's means local journeys between 2-5 hours through forest and haul roads. We've done 2 overnights as well, but things were tough with my...
