    Bike rack????

    hi Jas yup...probably never seen one of these before. It's a Baic BJ40L (2016)...a bit of a mutt in the auto world. Built in China...has a Saab 2.3l turbo coupled to a Japanese Aisin tranny and a Borgwarner transfercase. Roof is exactly that...a 3 piece frp detachable unit. Bought it 15 months...

    Thanks Dave...will definitely start a thread for our upcoming trip. Our trips are definitely more about hanging out in beautiful locations rather than covering territory. Our last trip was 5 months and covered 7000km. Dedicating large chunks of time...gotta love retirement ; )

    We did come across a couple on our travels and for sure they're pretty impressive.. The manufacturer (DongFeng) is popular and provides all types of vehicles. They make a H1 type that certainly looks very capable as well

    Yes...my taste has certainly mellowed over the years as well. Unplugged visions of old hits are more my style these days...but occasionally I've been known to get loud ; )

    Hi bikers/overlanders If you have a tailgate mounted spare wheel Yakima make an awesome bike rack. Keeps the bikes up high and definitely built sturdy. We love ours.

    What is your must cook meal or must have food for camping.

    hey Lee Yes...open markets can provide a lot of entertainment. And for sure it is a constant reminder of where our food comes from...outside of the realm of processed and packaged food. Free range everything for the most part.

    Unusual O/L Builds

    Those Trailhawk versions are awesome...almost bought a Cherokee Trailhawk but could justify the money they were asking. Styling is beautiful though.

    Camp Photos!

    Dig the bike...we always travel with ours. Couldn't imagine it any other way. Allows us to go deeper and find stuff we otherwise wouldn't. Also gives us the ability to ride out for supplies during long camps.

    Yes...I understand re your IP comment...but things have changed considerably. Land Rover for instance have been successful putting manufacturers on notice...and the company that builds our vehicle bought Saab's 93/95 platforms to introduce into their production. For me overlanding here is...

    howdy Overlanders...from China

    Well you can probably thank your EPA for that...but take solace in the fact that most are copied versions of what you already have ; ) China does have many options and there are ex military vehicles that have caught my eye. But it seems Toyota LC reins supreme up north. Here's something I could...
