    Real OVERLANDER rig import

    My goal is the WAY , not a DESTINATION. Thus I'm focused on adventure and impression what I'll meet for sure visiting and overlanding your beautiful country and other America's countries too. The tool to choose for this to happen is more or less on the second plan. Still might be exciting to put...

    Real OVERLANDER rig import

    You are right >diabetiktaco< - but those mates fro YT are importing most expensive cars, like Unimogs, Pinzgeuers or G-wagons. I am focused on Y60 highroof PATROL - I doubt anybody in USA would be interested to buy it modified. Origal and perfect - maybe. but not modified. Maybe I'm wrong...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Hej >Oneleglance< Very nice rig - this transit. I love those 4x4 vans, modified for overlanding. They much a ton of more potencial. Still, wouldn't be better to reinstall this radiator we can see on the picture, situated under bumper? In rocky and desert condition - probably works fine but here...

    Real OVERLANDER rig import

    Yeah, I do think the same. There is no clue to drag my own vehicle or the same brand (model) which is not present on US market. I love JEEPs, FORDS, GMCs a lot :hearteyes: and the only thing is that I don't know them at all. I also have had plenty of discusions with my US mates - wanted to buy...

    Real OVERLANDER rig import

    I have double checked the subject and this is how it goes. So short-cut thinking is like - never think of importing a car youger then 21yo. Be very carefull of importing agencies that calim that can do this - IT IS ILLEGAL and Homeland Security agents may just seize Your car if they find out...

    2018 Nissan Armada as overland vehicle

    Dear >bnyc000< Your american Armada is REALLY equall to Y62 Nissan Patrol that Aussies modify into tough off-road vehicle. As far as you have 4x4 model (from 60'ties avaiable 4x2 patrols) you have the same rough Patrol gen. Go for australian pages to buy some mods (lift, front locker, bumpers...

    Whatever rig is most important GO OUTBACK! And if You have diff-lock on driven axle - You will get most of the places like 4x4 without lockers IMO

    Steel winch cable vs synthetic rope

    Most impressive winching while OVERLANDING (not racing) Meeeen - this guy has balls!!! 3:14 minute of that film

    Steel winch cable vs synthetic rope

    Yeah, I always say the same: go as far as You can without a rope and turn back because You never know if it's not worse behind the hill ;-) Better to equip the car with maxtracks, chains, even portable winch/manual kifor - best for overlanding where the WAY is more important then DESTINATION.

Could any...

    What do YOU consider "capable"?

    I do think the same. However new DEF might get different opinion after few years of owning/off-roading. Geometry isn't stupid. Ergonomy eighter. Still suspension idea and plastic everywhere makes her far away from predecessor.
