[Sea Diamond]

There is a couple that just bought this in China and are about to kit it out.

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

@Sea Diamond, Welcome to Overland Bound. Some beautiful countryside in your pictures, great that you can dedicated large chunks of time to your trips. Look forward to seeing more pictures and stories of your travels.

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 ; )

Welcome, nice pictures

Hey thanks Sara...and I see you are new here as well. So a big welcome right back at you also. Great place to spend the winter dreaming about the next adventure!

I'm always amazed at a phone's ability to capture some mighty fine photos these days...technology just keeps getting better for this point and shoot kinda guy ; )

hey thanks for the warm welcomes guys...

Really lookin' forward to checking out everyone's adventures and of course posting ours. Currently we're in the early preps to head North next Spring...up towards Inner Mongolia and then make our way across to the Tibetan Plateau. Should be another half year road trip. But definitely "overlanding" by any definition of the term.

There are no State Campsites here...so camping is best done in what I call Stealth Mode. The less people know where you are is ALWAYS the better....and we tend to hang out in spots upwards to a month at times. But camping is starting to catch and I do see the gov getting involved as popularity grows.

Anyways...again thx for the welcome. I figure I'll post pics and tell our story in one of the thread categories here for those who might be interested.

Cheers

Oh wow, that's definitely something that should be exported!

hi Mat...yes there are many cool vehicles here...but in the Province where we live they have very tight emission standards so that totally limited our options when buying.

Here's some examples from a site similar to Craigslist.

Looks like I could very well be the first member from over here. Ran across this site a few weeks backs and I've had my nose stuck in it ever since!

Me and my miss' travel around in what's call a BJ40L 2016...kinda looks like a jeep (roof and doors come off and windshield folds down). Has a Saab 2.3l turbo coupled to an Aisin 6sp tranny and a Borgwarner transfercase.
We just got back from a 5 month journey traveling Western China along the Myanmar border towards the Tibetan Plateau. Slept in our Yakima HD rrt the entire time. An absolutely amazing adventure.

Anyways...looking forward to interacting with all the like minded folks here.

Happy New Year!
