Here's a few from our last trip...along the coast from Hong Kong...along the Vietnam...Myanmar...and Tibetan borders

Time to start doing research ; )

great to hear...I'm thinking of installing an electric lock myself. I'm guessing your's is stock electric?

Kinda nice when everything comes together and reality takes over all your planning and day dreaming. Enjoy the journey!

So as the thread says "solar on a budget" Building your own battery pack is considerably cheaper than some of those high end units that actually last. A quality lithium battery and a small inventory of small parts it's quite easy. As for solar panels, I mounted 2 x 50w on the roof (perfect for...

That is just awesome James...Calgary is an awesome place...the Rockies...the Stampede...our folks go back a few generations there...all were as tough as nails and not afraid of the cold

Welcome Wayne...Never too late to start! Calgary has a huge amount of exploring...you're gonna love getting out into the Rockies. Abandoned a 1966 Ford Ecconoline there back when I was 18...and the drinking age was the same. Crazy days with a fly rod and a mattress in the back.

how the heck did you fit that in...photos?

What a great build...totally professional...that goes for your documentation as well. Looking fwd to watchin' it all come together. Well done!

Hey Greg Thanks for your input. Doing all my research now before investing...heck I don't even know if I can get a ham license here (China) but I'm gonna give it my best shot. Anyways another questionif you have the time...would a RTT interfere with reception if setup and higher than your...

Looking at your antenna height...would you consider that too low if a rack and a RTT were mounted?

This is great guys...gonna check out what you all are recommending. First overland vehicle was a 1966 Ford Econoline...pushed that thing pretty deep when I was 17. A couple of shitbox pickups later I bought my first 4x4 at 20...a 1968 F100 shortbox. After that was always a 4x4. The one thing all...

Your post gave me a good chuckle...for myself I always turned up the volume to avoid thinking about any impending trouble.
