    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    Great report and pictures! Let's not be to hard on the darn bear hunters...or l'll tell my story about driving to northern Michigan late one night to bow hunt, getting to camp to late to set up a tent, and trying to sleep in the cab, backed into the forest just off a two-track...and being woke...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    Been there, done that on the 944 a few times...had 300K+ when l sold it to a nephew. He drove it into the ground. Loved that car, handle the road on a rail. Change clutch and pressure plate was a little bit intense. 928 was slick, had an intermediate shaft/coupler and whole mess dropped out...

    China from India or Nepal

    Thank you, for sharing! I've read that the guides travel with you, but bring their own sleeping bag and sleep off by themselves...is this true? What a great accomplishment!

    Bye Felicia

    To me...meeting local folks along the way, or especially other overlanders, and experiencing thier culture or their adventures is a big part of overlanding. Talked with two couples from Germany (both of which had logged 15K since shipping their vehicle state side), a dude from Australia (who...

    Bye Felicia

    Guess, l''ve been pretty fortunate...never really had a bad experience. Actually, most of the 'real deal' folks l've encountered were very friendly, interesting and shared great stories. There are only a few u-tubers l watch, mainly because they travel solo and travel full-time and enjoy their...

    Kids Education vs Overlanding

    Yep, if your biggest expense isn't fuel while overlanding...you're doing it wrong.

    Dog Gone, Camping

    Anymore, no thanks. They consume your itinerary and plans for the day, and everything ends up revolving around them. Spent 40+ years traveling with bird dogs, sometimes as many as seven...and they consume or inconvenience nearly every aspect of travel. Cleaning up waste, getting back to...

    Kids Education vs Overlanding

    After spending 46 years involved with the public schools, and watching the transition (from primarily male teachers to female). You nailed it, agree wholeheartedly with every word you wrote (it's like you were reading my mind). They have become the downfall of our society. Worst part is...you...

    Overland "Types?"

    Use to belong to a conservation organization and we did habitat work and clean up days at the surrounding state game areas. After eight years...the littering-garbage-human-beings...finally got to me. Still pick up stuff at state camp grounds or remote areas...because it just feels right.

    Where to start vehicle wise

    My advice...DO NOT, repeat...DO NOT...buy an ambulance. Worked at a shop where we maintained and repaired the local fire departments vehicles. No one, repeat...no one wanted to work on the ambulances. They are a complete and utter nightmare under the hood. Most have dual alternators, dual...

    Best Overland Rig for a Beginner?

    Affordable is subjective. What is affordable to me...may not be too you or vice versa. And typically, you either pay on the front side or on the back side...paying for a well maintained newer vehicle or bringing an older one back to dependability status. Is the vehicle going to be primary or...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    Yes, rust is a battle ground up here. About the only vehicles you can buy in the north, that aren't eaten away, are sports/muscle cars. Typically, they are only driven five or six months out of the year, so low mileage, and are garage kept all winter. Old Red (78) was under 100K and Old...
