If anyone was following this thread last year, it took a while, but now we're working on a Youtube series. Here's the trailer:

It's a Prado 120/ GX470 and the platform on top of the drawers is also used for sleeping, when the rooftop tent cannot be opened for some reasons (weather, place etc). That means the system is all the way up to the driver's seat so on the side we have a cabinet...

I would like your opinions. Which developing country do you think is in the Top 3 in the world for overlanding and why? I think Morocco makes it into the Top 3 list, but currently for me Mongolia is the winner. Still have to think which one is the 3rd in this list. This is why I think Mongolia...

This could be useful for some folks who want to modify their 3rd Gen https://overlandsite.com/overlanding/4runner-mods/

Hello GPWPAT - do you mind if I use one of your scanned images in one of my articles?

I don't want to spam too many threads about this, the other one I started has a few messages already. Please have a look at this one, or go straight to the link below that for even more info. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/budapest-bamako-rally-2018.191646/#post-2455630...

It went great, thanks! You could spend months in Morocco alone, discovering new places every day. Unfortunately we didn't have that much time, but definitely going back. I think the best time to visit North-West Africa would be around April. It's still not too hot, but you can enjoy camping...

Yes, that part is fine. The donations go to the right place. What we've done is gave donations directly to the charity and also brought some donations with us and handed them out ourselves. There is no problems with handling the donations, it's only they customer services that is not so cool...

Right, so first of all the best part was to meet great people. We happened to meet really cool guys, obviously with similar interests. Western Africa is a tough place and on top of that some of the offroad stages were tough on their own right too. We helped each other constantly and it was like...

Hello, this is a great thread but a bit old. I'm wondering if anyone found more pictures of very old roof top tents recently?

I have recently finished a 6 weeks long overland trip driving from Europe to The Gambia. The first 16 days were through an amateur adventure rally (Budapest-Bamako Rally) but the latter 4 weeks was independent adventure.

I have recently finished the Budapest - Bamako rally. It is 'Bamako' only by name, The actual finish line was in Banjul, The Gambia. If you have any questions, please let me know. It was an awesome experience! I have also done the Mongolia Charity Rally in 2014. That one is also fantastic...
