Some updates to the planned route. I have decided to head towards the Valdez peninsula on my way back down from dead horse. While in the Valdez area I will be dropping by Talkeetna, a place strongly recommended by a fellow over-lander (Unfortunately not on the forum). I also plan to visit the...

On the note of the CDL lever, if the previous owner(s) didn't use the vehicle much off-road, then the lever will most likely be basically seized. While it may be necessary to re-grease all of the linkages, most people have pretty good luck by just working the lever back and forth over time using...

What size tires are you running if I may ask?

ouch! That doesn't look fun, or cheap!

Enjoyed the nice weather and wet earth in California while going between theaters.

I may be able to do September on the way back, but im not 100% sure about the trips dates yet, so it remains to be seen Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

How did you manage doing that to your P38?!?

Siliconed my rear sunroof closed after flooding my cargo area. Twice. EDIT: To clarify, my rear sunroof leaks quite badly through my headliner, and we got some heavy rain a week or so ago, and I just finished drying out everything in the back, and we got some more rain today. We need the rain...

I have been talking to quite a few people who have driven overland style through Alaska and Canada, and got some amazing information for places to visit and see. I will be adjusting the map soon to include some of these points, and I also intend on figuring out some more remote locations to...

Wish my rover was a diesel... But you cant quite beat that rover V8 sound! (Except a certain turbo diesel V8, looking at you Ronny Dahl)

Not sure about cost, but there are definitely some clear wraps specifically ment to protect the front from Rock chips, and I'm sure they would work for the sides as well, perhaps try to find a local shop who specializes in wraps/paint and get a quote? Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

While I'm by no means hugely experienced, from what little I do know I can say ever person has their own preferences. Because I realize that's no helpful at all, I'll give just a few ideas. For camping locations, look Into if the area you are going through permits free/wild camping or if you...

If you end up heading south enough to get to Santa Barbara let me know and I can show you a bit of the back country roads and our local hidden hot springs Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

Got some auxiliary lights fitted to my brush bar, and headed out for another 5 hour round trip to pickup a safety devices roof rack!

The main risk is the inverter being killed. I would make sure you have a fuse (or the inverter is fused) but that's just good practice anyways. If you want to give it a fighting chance in water you can open the inverter up and spray silicone conformal coating onto all of the exposed electronics...

Sounds like a fun trip! I also have an SoCal to Canada/Alaska trip planned for over the summer! If the timing works out I would be happy to meet up in Santa Barbara, and I can take you up to show you our tucked away hotsprings.

When I ran the trail over the summer most of it was pretty open, however as others have mentioned there were certainly a few tight spots through the Joshua trees and some other bushy areas. The pin stripping I got on the rover was pretty minimal, however I would be quite impressed if you could...

I'll look into them, the two down sides to me are the price (not to Terrible, but it's still a budget build) and also I have yet to find a charger that will work on a 12V system that is designed for a LiFePO4 battery Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

I think I have finalized the drawers after tweaking some dimensions and parts, now just to build them and install! I have looked more into a dual battery setup and have decided to go ahead and install a small one. I will put a 17ah SLA battery (I can always easily install a second to make...
