I didn't get chance to post any final prep. pics before having to leave for the trip as things got a little hectic. Anyway, just got back at the weekend. All in all it was another fantastic trip down through France, exploring the smugglers trials between Andorra and Spain. I have only just...

Random shots from some gentle laning in Norfolk. Next up some final fettling and fabbing before heading for Andorra on Friday.

Some pics from weekend Northumberland trip back in June. Great weather, so the trails were nice and firm, but it was very windy (nearly lost a drone after it shot off a couple of miles downwind!) Plenty of storm damaged trees too. Norfolk next...

Sorry for the lack of response Billiebob, I hadn’t realised just how long its been seen posting here :oops: Yes, tread lightly is definitely the mantra. Things have been rather disrupted and uncertain with work and COVID so travel plans have been on hold, but we have managed a couple of short...

Sound of Mull

Wrecks at Salen, Isle of Mull, Scotland.

It was a public holiday today so we decided to take the Jeeps out for a little green lane trip with the essential lunch stop at an old railway bridge over a disused railway. It was a lot dryer than the last time I drove this track but there were still a few mud holes to undo all the cleaning I'd...

Up in the Lake District, UK.

Despite Covid 'Freedom Day' being postponed for a few weeks due to the recent surge in Delta Variant cases, recreational travel is still allowed, so we took the Jeeps on a mini adventure up to the Lake District to drive an old coach road. I drove this many years ago in my Niva, so it was nice to...

Thanks Mattlodi. Some of the build was repurposed from the WK where I had used an acrylic clear varnish over the ply, and I continued with this finish for a while with the added components for the Renegade. So when I applied the bed liner finish I was putting it on top of that. But when I built...

From memory it was a bit of a PITA when I did mine. The main issue was extracting the steel sleeved bushes from the diff casing and I ended up with a combination of a large C clamp type bush extractor and various sleeves, and attacking them with an air saw and chisel! Probably would have been...

If you haven't already done so its worth checking that the clunking isn't caused by movement in the front diff mounts. The tell tale sign that the mounts are getting soft is a clunk when engaging drive or reverse.

Spent yesterday starting he cleanup and maintenance following last week’s session at Avalanche. Apart from copious amounts of sandy clay stuck around underside and a few more scuffs and scrapes, the only thing that needed any real attention was the tail pipe. At some point it must have taken a...

In the office car park, contrasting use cases...

With the ongoing lockdown on travel we've still not been able get out in the Jeeps. But with some local easing of restrictions my brother nephew and I decided to spend a day at the local off road centre and give the Trailhawks som exercise. The site is basically a quarry with various features...

Thanks, hopefully the lockdown will continue to ease over the coming weeks I'll be able to start travelling about again. You can get the decals direct from the site's store, the postage is still free even to the UK and they arrive in about a week: https://overlandjournal.com/decals/
