    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Update: finished the trip in Sept with wife+kids flying back earlier to organise schools, housing etc. Trip was fantastic and main two issues: 1) should have learned more Spanish before we left - would have allowed us to interact more with locals 2) we were only on the trip one year (2-3 yrs...

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Currently in Panama and only some minor issues (trailer woes again- air bags, welds), punctured tires, did I mention new fuel pump as cutting out twice while driving (at least it was only 5mph)). Weather HOT with 95f/35C but at least now on beach - Pacific side. Caribbean side was wet and very...

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    lots of trailer woes -- posted on Twitthttps://twitter.com/ourlongwayhomeer and will update here later. Broken frame/front and then wheel issues. Wrong wheel studs (SAE not Toyota), improper sized/style wheel nuts and no 'spacer' to take up the slack

    Good in theory but once they do the 'give money back' you are not allowed to purchase any spare parts from them.

    EdgeStar won't fix it - say its defective and need to trash it. Get initial monies back but unlikely to replace for same purchase price. Still think its the controller unit.

    Flashing error code 7 I have a FP630 (Edgestart 63qt) via scratch-n-small-dent. Worked great first few weeks (mostly 110v and on 12v fine ) and then packed up one day before we left on our long trip (http://TheLongWayHome.us) IT kinda went 'fizzle' sound - say a flashing code 7 on the display...

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    In the end cancelled the order and tried to switch to CA (Calf) compliant version but Rockin4x4 doesn't seem to have it. Needed CA version as presume will need that level of "emissions compliance" when I get back to Europe so might as well get it done. looking now for a good price if anyone can...

    Turned out to be a loose bolt on the ABS sensor (has two) and that solved the funky braking issue. Thanks Adam

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Finished updating the last two doors with insulation to help with "sound/heat dampening" on our looong trip. Added in some extra paint spray at bottom but no rust on either (hope it stays that way) Noticed that the drivers window seal is 1/2 gone. Upgraded the middle door speakers as well. New...

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Nope - got cancelled as needed the CA version (presume I'll need this "better version" when back in IRL/UK with higher emission needs) - so will have to do that later.

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Got drawer system put in today by TruckVault (local to me here so great). Very nice system with lots of extra features, bells-n-whistles if you want them (including key/finger combination locks). They do lots of drawer systems for military, police, hunters. Have two flip 'lids' on sides so can...

    Lally's journey: Alaska to Argentina to Africa to Ireland

    Ordered "MagnaFlow Exhaust Direct Fit Catalytic Converter 23120 Catalytic Converters " from rockin4x4 today, so we'll see how that turns out. Will likely do 'new' on the rest as well so no hassle for next year+

    thanks for that. Hoping it will all go well but I'm sure we'll have a few hiccups. Right now just busy trying to get as much done before we leave- 16 days and counting!
