On the other hand, in such a place, I think your training on subs was of great value :) Yep, I started to do this whole thing just to avoid cities and crowds. In Europe you have good and bad camp sites, depends on the country and local style of camping, and depends of the season as...

No smoking sign at a Dino park in Portugal :)

Yep, either a dramatic change in battery tech, or some form of onboard power generation, either a fuel cell, a micro reactor, what ever.. The only way I can see a solar powered vehicle is if they manage to make it same size as it is now, but maybe max 200 pounds, with all the gear...

you can get a 12 v dc to dc charger like victron and an 80 amp AGM deep cycle. This will set you back about half price. You will need some wires, a few fuses and if you can install it yourself, your good to go. In time you maybe add a solar panel , or go lithium, this setup is...

Thanks for sharing. Had a close call one time that I shared, became more prudent after. managed to self recover, but it was not pleasant. From what I observed from my experience and from the others that shared their experience, I noticed 1 thing- More equipment / capable vehicle and...

nope, it is not even on the list for mid europe at all. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/?region=71 i see all kind of events, but not this one.

I will try to come, but maybe next week I will know for sure. I really want to go to an expo, I missed this year the big one.

weird, when I click on the link for the rally point I get a 404 error..

earlier this year i got a small piece of land in a village near my home town (now I live like 2200 km from it ), where i plan to build a small house for retirement. But my wife also wants to install some kind of tepee tent on a wooden platform, with a full king size bed inside of it. The...

Great stuff. In Europe this is called the Landcruiser Prado J120. I had one, I loved it, I still regret selling it..

Got ba back from my first trip, almost 6500 km, crossing France, and spending time in Spain and Portugal. a week after I got it, it was still in the break in period when I left, with about 500 km on it, I set off. I did not have time to do anything on it bone stock sahara tires, got some...

Some real world experience, what I am writing here is primarily valid for Europe, more specifically Spain and Portugal as a foreigner . Long story short, we are very very far from Overlanding in an electrical vehicle, at least in Europe. I just came back from a 3 week trip, I did about...

Thank you for this post and confirming what I had in mind for a while. I hate drilling in new cars. I know that many cars now don't use welding anymore, but adhesives to build the structure of the car, so there are solutions for sure. To put airlines with bolts, means also putting some...

Wikiloc is your best friend. I did one of the loops about 6 years ago and I am going again, Saturday I will be somewhere near Girona. I did this one, in the link below. Most of the info is ok, but sometimes it is out of date. Some torrent might have taken the road out and so on, but...

my dream is of some kind of fuel cell / mini reactor, like the Terminator had in his chest. It is more feasible than a vehicle powered by solar, even at the theoretical level.

Enjoy it. I was not so brave, went the plug in hybrid way. It is very cool to off road in nearly complete silence. My plan is to try to "jailbreak" the big battery to us for camping purposes. While with the EV things require more planning and time to recharge for sure, I think PHEV 's...

The tailgate table arrived and now it is on : The Mopar chick from the instructions video did it in like 6 min. Took me about 1h, I wanted to measure to make sure all lines up before I drill in to the plastic trim, and also to find the 2 nuts I dropped .... Top Tip - the Bosmutus...

Good advice, it is what I am trying to do. The roof bars arrived and are mounted. I did not pay attention in the rush and for this model you have to order keys and locks separately. Got a solution to this, instead of 80 euro extra for locks + keys I will get a set of M10 anti theft nuts...

The PLAN :grinning: For me, the Wrangler has 2 major issues. Noise on the highway and space. In an ideal world i would get something else, like a petrol defender 130, but I can build a small house with the price tag on that thing. Nothing that is available or reasonable comes to mind...

The Disco 4 let me down yet again, and even the dealer is lost completely. At off Road Height, and only when I actually go off-road, I get a suspension error. I can drive it on normal pavement at off road height for 3 days, no issues. When the wheels start bouncing - air reservoir filling to...
