Anything can broke - most can be fixed. Also during overland travel. We are not in an apocalyptic scenario yet. My electric is still working after 68k Miles (110`000km) through africa and so on I have a triple locked rig - but I`am personally impressed how good the stock stuff is. Many...

I have a delayed kill-switch - who works too if I had to handover the keys (carjacking) Have 2 min after starting to set, otherwise the car will shut off because of no fuel.... Works great but is a pain in the ass, if you have to give your car away (mechanic, cleaning) But if I`m sleeing in...

Unfortunately this isnt maintained well. It can be done, like theses "global fencing" on lime eletric scooters whichs just drive slow in inner cities or when the parkingzones are limited. But DJI didnt restrict any of my flights so far. Does this just works in the US? Surfy

Here I did collect information about travelling with drones. About people who got fined, got to jail and the rules. It helps to be prepared. This Map by visualcapitaslist helps to get an idea about where more preparations is useful. If you are not on a worldtrip - you will need more...

The Expeditionsportal did vote the "Land Cruiser 200 (J20)" as #1 car on the list of "Top 10 Used Overlanders" I also did too 110`000 Travelling-Kilometers with the Land Cruiser 200 on 3 Continents - I did add some notes too: Land Cruiser 200 (J20) - als bestes Fahrzeug für Overlanding...

Not many events are well known today. But they still exists locally, far away of internalional media attentiion: One example: Today events need more than the past. Here you have to bring your vehicle, to risk your own vehicle, you had to pay the bill at the end.... Guess even more adventure...

It`s always easy to tell about the good old times. Are they really that nice? Is everything newer that bad? I`m not shure, if I had enjoyed my 110`000km / 68`000 Miles trip through africa, south america that much in one of these old camel trophy cars. No aircon means open Windows, means a...

Thanks for the trophy Video! A nice watch! The new LR had no choice without the right tyre for winter conditions..

@moggy1968: cool - easy but enough comfort - i like that! Another Picture to add

I did over 110`000km with my Land Cruiser 200 V8 Diesel over the past 8 Years - did cross Africa, travelling Europa and South America. For more pictures use this link: 200 Series Picture Thread - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] As you can see, my car is pretty heavy modded. What was really...

This week that small and tiny 8.5kg device did arrive. It is not on the market yet - I did go successfully through the risk of crowfunding. My Plan is to "renew" my Powersolution in my Landcruiser 200, which was my mobile Home during travelling, from Transafrica, Europa till south america My...

How the sleeping setup looks like:

In 2019 I was alone with the 4x4 on a small overlanding tour for over two months. Via the Engadin and Samnaun we went in the direction of Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgarians to the sea, Romania, Hungary back to Austria. I didn't track the route exactly, but I should have...

In the distant foreign country it would be nice to see which traveler is also nearby. Be it to chat briefly about the easiest border crossing, security situation, visa situation or just to have a beer together and spend a sociable evening. Something like that is missing, discovered two...

Dont had any issue with winch bar and slightly bigger mudterrain tires (33") in Europe (too spain, romania, kroatia) and other countries. Not one stop because of checking my vehicle documents in details. Stops in Switzerland Bulgaria, Croatia for a quick check, or because I dont had turn on the...

After travelling over 100`000 Kilometers in the last years (Transafrica, Southamerica, US, Europe) , with just an iPad / iPhone as Navigation Unit - I found some Apps very helpful. Here are my favorite Apps - and the reason why they are important for me...

My mechanic told me, that he has to order a "update device" for doing it (for my european spec). Price was similar. Hope someone here knows more?!

That they cancelled the 200er (J20) in the US dont hurt, the lexus is very near if you compare in detail... And the J30 is near.

Is any error the toyota garage would be able to clear/reset? You can buy a dongle and use it with techstream by yourself. Maybe you are able to help yourself. The ODB2 Mini VCI Dongle is one part. At the ih8mud Forum you can optain many informations about AHC including the default values, how...

Thanks for let us travel with you virtually! Surfy

I was overlanding with mostly wildcamping for two months in 2019 - around 3 weeks in romania. Trip lead me from Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Slownenia, Kroatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Bulgaria to Romania and Ungary, Austria back home. No hassle, no stress in Romania or one of the other countries...

Happy me that I can drive one of these 200 D4D V8

At the next day I found a beautiful dirttrack. After 10 miles i did meet a Police car - which I did query about my Route-plan. "You can try" - thats sounds again like a challenge. So I did follow the track. Looks I should start to navigate not only with the offline satellite Images on my IPad...

In Iceland it dont hurt so much, when they catch the food - you can buy it near... In the andes it is very bad, because you have to drive hundert of kilometers for buying wood and nice steaks. Just beer chips and cakes - you find in any small town - but on extended travelling you may want...

Thanks for the feedback! To bad that we didnt was able to meetup, I didnt read that thread till today. --- I did sleep pretty well directly at the border in my Verhicle, so glad that I`m an Overlander. Many other travellers did had to go back to the last village (aprox. 100km) - to find...

Play too hard ends usually in a higher repair bill... I was lucky to reach Salta and don't to had an breakdown on a closed Andean-Pass... However, soon I could drive further.. A beautiful wild camp on a dam wall in the middle of the Jungle... I`m trying to reach Chile since 3 days...

To drive the officially closed road 40 from Payogasta to San Antonio, was not one of my best ideas. To prepare the vanished roads at above 4000m heigh, to put big rocks in the rivers to build a passage you can cross... That was way too much for my condition at that height... Stupid to...

Here also a small Picture-Update, all from Argentina (Mendoza to Cafayate). At Mendoze there I had the first unplanned repairs (caused by my harsh driving behavior). At Argentina I also meet again Roadblocks, the way the locals try to get noticed by the gouverment. Unbelievable that 6 Peoples...

In the meantime happens a lot :-) I near drowned myself with the car, but some locals avoid that this happens. Details as usual in the Blog: http://adventure-overland.blogspot.com 4x4tripping

Looks nice and fair priced, when you consider that shipping and flights are included. The daily route milage shows, that the trip is more "good track" based. Surfy

And one time more some Pictures. Shoot them on my way to Puerto Montt (Argentina and Chile): More Pictures, my daily travel diary and about people I meet - that you can find in the Blog: http://adventure-overland.blogspot.com 4x4tripping

Now I`m on the road since a while, have travelled through parts of argenina and chile. There is a lot to read and a lot of pictures in the blog: http://adventure-overland.blogspot.com I`m still writing any day my diary.

Now he is here :-O ----- There happens a lot in the meantime. I did have a nice time in Buenos Aires, a very nice city! I like the city from the beginning. I did a lot what i should not do as a tourist - running around at night with my camera, visiting "no-go" areas, using my smartphone...

There are some new updates in the Blog - here just some short notes. It is very relaxed to have enough time during traveling. I was a full week in Ushuaia, did a lot of trips, but also some days where I just walk through the city and relax. But I still miss my car - and hope that he arrive...

Thank you for your comment and Feedback! Now I`m since some days in Ushuaia, and are waiting for the arrival of my container who hopefully contains my car :doh: I did feel the limitations of the live as Packpacker, who have to book Tours or use the official Bus-Lines. I miss the travelling...

I will start the panamericana in the next days. This time without an specific time frame, or route plans. I will decide during the day - what I will do on the next day. I`m 40 now and always dreamed about an extended or big trip. There is no timeframe who looks perfect for something like that...

Oh, that sounds like your Sleeping plattform dont leave you much space for your bed. You have to watch the height carefully and to save any inch or cm you can. In my eyes you need at least 55cm between matress and car roof. More is better ;-) There are lowprofile cooling boxes available at...

Overall there are more people out there, who use a tent, rooftent, trailer and so on. But some of us plan to sleep too inside of the car. This need a careful planning about, how to use the limited space. Here i try to do an kind of compilation of sleeping plattform samples. Many links to...

Here are my favorite top 10 list of apps for travelling overland abroad. Some of these apps are very useful because they offer access also while offline, others are helpful because they give you more out of a bad internet connection, or to stay in contact with your family and friends. Like a...

We drove with a weight of 3.8tons through africa.. With roof rack and box and so on. He consume in the mix 16.55 Liter for 100km, with much offroad… You have to search for an converter to calculate that to gallons. Surfy
