That’s what I thought- another reason for getting the vtoman jump 600 was the jump start function- I have used it on a dead flat battery and it works well- you need a jump lead that plugs into the socket on the front

Doubtful with me to be fair

I think a hybrid multi faceted system is the way to go . Here’s an update on what I’m going to use at the moment, I’ve gone for budget friendly brands- this may prove to be a mistake long term- it means I’ve ended up with 3 power stations of varied power- i intend to find a place for all on the...

afgan is worth a look according to a friend who visited there recently- he said the people were friendly. A bit off your route maybe. Toyota is a good choice of vehicle round those parts I should think-Or Mercedes - not sure how easy it is to get spares though

A friend of mine recently had a small bump in a car- it brought on ptsd from a crash he had over 20 years ago . The brain has a way of sweeping things under the carpet that need to be dealt with. have you found any survival or off-road driving training courses anywhere?

Driving past preston can be traumatic for anybody

Are your panic attacks related to vehicle use?

Heading across to Mongolia sounds like a great trip-it looks amazing out there - when are you getting the 4runner? Some green lanes have a lot of low hanging branches which can damage the paintwork of a nice shiney vehicle- may be worth taking a saw

Loving your use of the Lexus on the green lanes

good choice-you can’t argue with 100mpg

will be interested to see what you come up with for the bike rack, I’m thinking of adding a removable one to the back of my trailer. What bike are you going to put on it?

Thanks Reaver

My fridge box is painted and mounted up,with the slider installed. The slider and its raised mounting takes up a fair bit of room,which is wasted space really,I’m not overly happy with this but its the way it is now, the way my door works means it has to be this way- i have lost 4.5 “ off the...

I am going to run an agm battery and carry a solar generator- I have an old agm which I will instal for now to get my system set up. I also bought a fossibot f2400- it’s not one of the big brand ones,but it came up at the right price ,the DC plug is an xt-60 ,it’s only rated at 25amps and not...

Got the chassis operational with the road lights and brakes working- took her for a short spin on the road and the handling seems to be great!

This is the other type I was thinking of trying,if I can mount them where they can’t be seen too much and drill a hole through the chassis to work the nut they could be a solution

It’s 17” from the bottom of the chassis to the ground. Yes I would change them - maybe not right now- I’ve been scratching my head about these stabilisers for a while- it’s a job to know how they will work till you have them. I was thinking about using caravan style ones on the front and...

I was thinking about putting bigger wheels and tyres on also- I’ll end up blocks 12” thick!

Got some bed liner on and started to build up the chassis. I decided to put some prop stands on also they are a bit short ,so I will have to carry some blocks-there is a longer size but these wouldn’t have fit tidy when folded on the chassis . As both sets are mounted laterally there...

Looking forward to seeing this come together and congratulations on your change of lifestyle
