2 maxtrax, shovel and a strap. It is enough to get out of most situations, except rivers. Takes a bit of work compared with a winch. I plan to get 2 additional maxtrax. So far I used the maxtrax about 3 times in 4 years. Normally I avoid extreme off-roading, but shit happens...

Nice I also have a Hilux 2.4D diesel auto. Love it so far. What lights are those in the grill ? I was looking at something similar to install myself.

Welcome. It is possible to do it legally. There are some Toyota dealers in Germany that also modify vehicles for overlanding and get the proper TUV approval for lift and tires. To name just a couple Toyota Nestle, Extremfahrzeuge and for sure there are more. It is not cheap, but they...

I use my pick up only for camping/travelling. If I have go somewhere far, sometime 2000 km, I drive for 12-14h and stop at a hotel, not in mood to setup a camp at night after all this driving and start quickly in the morning with the driving again. So I have to have a secure place for...

a roof box from Thule that sits ona couple of bars is much more aerodinamic than a roof rack. And you can take it down fast if you don't use it. There are even roof bars that you take down in 5 min., you keep only the legs on if you don't need to carry anything. A roof rack and...

I saw an article on DW.de that Germany is preparing an agreement with Austria to have a free circulation for tourists between the 2 of them after the strict quarantine will be eased. Maybe some more countries will do this kind of thing.

What ever solution you will use, use appropiate size wires and fuses. If you think a dual battery setup is expensive, a fire is even more expensive..

I was a cheap bastard and I tried what reaver posted, mine was 460 W. You can find them cheap, and they are cheap for a big reason. They are very slow to charge. When you leave from home, all is good. After you sit one day in one place, to charge them via a normal cigarrete plug...

All borders inside EU closed so I am stuck in Germany, where wild camping and off-roading is completely forbidden and it is too cold until mid May anyway. Normally I had a planned trip to Morocco for the first week of April, that went down the drain fast..Morocco closed its borders a...

Even if it is in a mint condition, reliable etc.. for me anything that does not have AC is a non starter... might be the age maybe, or I am just too spoiled. I had older vehicles that I loved,( a 91 BMW 525i, even a Mazda 323 from 88) , but all had AC.. If you talk about an FJ40 with a...

So basically you compare US, where 80% of time you are on asphalt, most likely more, the other 20 % s you mostly dodge pink jeeps and all this the time you are maybe 40-60 miles from some kind of shop, gas station or supermarket with very few exceptions with lets say the Pamir...

you are mixing wheeling, like a week end going out, or maybe a 5 day trip on some off road trails with long overland trips. Try to do an asian tour in that, filled to the GVM for many months and let me know how it works out for you. All of the pople who are doing this, after the...

There are safer, easier and cheaper ways. To use a Hi Lift Jack you need proper jack points, those cost money as well. Might be better off with an air jack, folds to nothing, it is light and safe. get a small hand winch if you need that additional functionality of the Hi Lift jack.. Go...

If you cook them properly :)

If you have only 1 vehicle yes. You use it as a daily driver and on a trip you hitch it and go. Your vehicle will not need a GVM upgrade so it will ride nice even on your daily commute.. It will limit some of the places you can go, specially muddy trails will be more difficult.
