Well, quite a lot has happened in the last six months, not so much with the van unfortunately. I did get the flare panels installed, as well as a new head unit, speakers, and cameras front and rear, but had to take a break after that for some unplanned home renovations. I did at least spend...

A smaller update than I was hoping for, but still progress. Got a few little things like the license plate light on the bumper done, but the main thing is windows! Who wants a bedroom with no windows? Certainly not me. I took a short trip up to Bend to have these professionally installed, as the...

about the same as before. Advanced put a 3" lift in, which isn't really noticeable on something this tall already. There's a bit more wind noise from the rack, but that's all I've noticed. I haven't really had a chance to put the 4WD through its paces other than some snow and ice on the way back...

You could try google earth I guess. I'm not sure how well it works for editing files but I know it does that at least.

Very nice article. Thanks for sharing.

Oh hey Michael. I see you're on here now.

Now that I'm stuck inside for a while I felt like I might as well make some new friends online. I'm in Eugene for school and down in Grants Pass the rest of the time. Looking forward to finding new people to get out there with. Ordered a membership but haven't gotten the number yet, @mtnbaja on IG.

Grants Pass, OR when I'm not at UO in Eugene. 2005 Subaru Baja Always loved camping, got started with the whole Overland thing about 2 years ago and joined now to find more people to go with.
