The ONLY issue that I could possibly tell you from my experience...

    When to call it quits?

    MY 2 cents.. I may not speak for everyone, nor do I intend to be. but my thoughts are that, as overlanders, we invest a lot into our vehicles, and I firmly believe that you should without a doubt LOVE your rig.
