    Central America Overland

    Ooh, Esteli...my new best friend! [emoji38] I am also into cigars and spent a few days in Esteli last year. Left with a suitcase full if cigars. We continued on down to the rio San Juan for a few days of world class tarpon fishing. We chose a bad travel day...Dia de La Revolucion...roads were...

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    Not technically a road sign, but one of my favorites. On a trail in Panamá. It basically says..."dont stand under the rock". The print is just small enough that you have to do just that to read it of course!

    Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

    There is something magical about being under sail. Belize is an amazing little country, lots to see and do packed into a very small area, and the second largest barrier reef in the world + 3 of the 4 coral atolls in the W hemisphere just offshore. I first traveled to Belize in my 20's, then...

    Significant Other

    My wife loves the outdoors and travel. Weve sailed together (long crossings are not her thing though), hiked, kayaked, camped, backpacked, and traveled extensively. Bugs love her though, so thats sometimes a problem...I grew up in the swamp lands so they dont bother me. Weve also of course done...

    Pre Build Question: 89 Jeep XJ Axle/Locker Combos

    I will also add the Ford 8.8 to my list. Options are good since I dont know for sure what I will find here. No shortage of good welders though. Enviado desde mi SM-J110M mediante Tapatalk

    Roof Top Tent or Ground Tent?

    Hammocks are great for the right applications...no need to worry about leveling, rocks, crawling critters,flooding, etc. Can be set up for cold weather but get a bit fiddly and bulky...ground tent easier for cold. I have oversized rain fly and "snake skins" on mine. I can quickly slide the...

    Pre Build Question: 89 Jeep XJ Axle/Locker Combos

    I have an 89 XJ which I am about build out as an overland vehicle. For this use a torsen rear differential sounds like a good option (already have an Aussie Locker for front). However my rear axle is a Dana 35, which seems pretty universally loathed. My question is should I swap out the Dana...
