Hey @Michael, could you move this thread under our Scandinavia section, please.

I will start this by saying that having an radiator issue in sunday in middle of night and in middle of holiday season while being tens of kilometres from the nearest road is not funny. While I was driving in remote landscape, I noticed that the engine coolant temperature started to rise and...

We overland enthusiastics usually try to be prepared for everything when heading to our journey, but sometimes something happens with the car, equipment, gear, food, water or clothes, that just leave you wondering "is this the biggest failure ever". What is your story? Did a flat without spare...

I believe that climate and driving style has a lot on that which tyre works better. I had this same problem, didn't know should I buy KO2, Duratrac or something else. Finally I had a chance to try them both and after that desided to go with Duratracs. Duratrac's thread pattern cleans itself...

Yeah... no. Land Rover Defenders and Discoverys are popular, but I think Land Cruisers are the most popular among 4wheelers. ArcticTruck prepped vehicles are rare here, even though factory is located here ...I guess most of them are sold to Russia. I have seen only one that was made for local...
