Next project was creating a new spare tire sub-frame on the back door of the camper. You can read about it here: http://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2017/01/constructing-new-spare-tire-carrier-on.htmhttp://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2017/01/constructing-new-spare-tire-carrier-on.html

Great trip, great posts, great pictures, love it!

Hum... not many posts lately, but I worked on the truck this summer... blogposts will be made during winter :-) Made one post about creating and fitting a new battery rack for my truck. See my blog post here: https://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2016/10/constructing-new-battery-rack.html

Question: what is the use of a fender protection plate? I see those on many Land Rovers, but see absolutely no use for them. Possibly a protection plate on the bonnet, in order to walk on it as you get something in your roof-rack but on a fender?

Hum... except that the Vario would NOT make it across the Ubari sand sea... I was there, Bernard

Summer 2015 – Back to work. Summer had arrived some months ago, it was time to work again on my truck. To start I fitted liners inside the cabin. You can see more pictures of this on my blog: http://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2015/06/back-to-work-my-workshop-and-fitting.html

Hi Dan, just discovered this thread. Nice to see that you are wanting to start another road trip in Africa. Great continent! I had the chance to do something similar to what you're planning to do, quite some years ago... You can read a quick summary here...

Just noticed and read your thread. Well done, it looks like you'll have a very nice rig. Look forward to read further posts and future trips you'll do with this Perentie.

I have two ARBs on my short wheel base Serie III, they are fantastic, they make a huge difference! !

Hi Amy and Richard, Great decision that you made! Aside from the route, next big decision is the type of vehicle you select. Based on my experience (travelling for 15 months in roof tents) I would suggest for a RTW trip, that you select a vehicle with a closed cabin (or a van). Land...

Hi Shayne, Nice project and built! It should give you a nice rig to travel to many places. I shall be following your trip afterwards. Having "lived" in roof tents for 15 months of travel, for my current vehicle (planning a Round The World trip) I decided that I wanted a closed cabin. - I...

They are. No worry, there was no foul smell in campgrounds!

I was able to stay 2 days at the show, WOW, there was so much to see! Here are a few comments to this post and to the show itself. - Wheel size, indeed most vehicles (except for some real trucks) have small wheels and low ground clearance. In fact, most vehicles exposed are more "4 wheel...

I was able to stay 2 days at the show, WOW, there was so much to see! For those who could not attend, I preparred a "photo" report, hundreds of pictures on my blog: http://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2015/06/2015-abenteuer-allrad-show-in-bad.html Well worth visiting if you have a chance.

Hi Tom, Good spotting, good question. Negative, for many years I had a PTO winch made by "Fairy" in the UK. Good part is that it has a huge drum and I had almost 50 meters of steel cable (the norm in those days) on it. Used it a number of times to pull myself out of mud holes and/or to pull...

Oops, Forgot to specify that even with a winch, one needs to have a Hi-Lift jack and "sand ladders". Those two items are the most important kit when venturing off-road!

Hi there, 1/ I have a (well travelled) Series III that is 38 years old! Have a look below at some of the trips I took with my Series III... http://landroamer.blogspot.ch/2013/04/overland-trips.html http://bsalzmann.blogspot.ch/2012_04_01_archive.html 2/ In my opinion, a roof tent is the...

Toyota would get my vote! Amazing reliability coupled with a good worldwide distribution network.

Hi Neil, Thanks for showing us what you did. Nice rig, hope you have a great time with it. Bernard
