    Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

    From the beginning of our journey, 17,5 years ago, we’ve had a number of experiences with overland tires. Before our departure, we didn’t really know anything about tires let alone what the impact could be on your driving or vehicle. Our tires have changed from cheap to expensive, from what made...

    9 months in Japan was not enough to see and experience it all, but ala, visum restrictions decided otherwise. The Land Cruiser community turned out to be awesome, and organized a private tour for us in the Land Cruiser factory, yes our home on wheel's actual place of birth. How special is that...

    Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

    Heya guys, We've had some great interesting talks going on lately: A typical campfire discussion: Land Rover vs Land Cruiser. The pros and cons, jokes about the other and the passion for your own. Karin-Marijke emailed some of our overlanding friends and I posted on two Facebook groups for...

    Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

    How do you deal with fears on an overland journey? What are your possible fears before starting out, such fear of wild camping? These were subjects of interesting conversation we had with fellow overlanders Mijke and Dennis, who were on a 6-month trip from the Netherlands to Mongolia/Central...

    Antique Land Cruiser on the road since 2003

    The choice of vehicle was not between a Land Rover or a Land Cruiser, but rather a Land Rover or none at all. As I have told my Land Cruiser owning friends: if we simply wanted to ‘get’ to Australia, we would have taken a plane. An excerpt from the latest interview Karin-Marijke had with fellow...

    Overland Route Map for Pan American Drive

    Heya guys, I think it will be very hard to find a blog with a map and day to day experiences at each stop. My first thought is, why would you need that? You want your own experience. Right? But I also know that everyone is different. Do you know the website called Polarsteps? People "record"...

    Hello everyone, it has been a while. Sorry to keep you all waiting ;-) We are currently in Kyrgyzstan, taking the interior of the Land Cruiser out again to take care of some rust issues and maybe more. This made me think back to the full on restoration we did nine years ago. I have re-read...

    We've just entered Mongolia! Whoooohoooo would ever thought we would be driving in this desolate country? 2 times larger than Turkey with only 3 million inhabitants it ranks amoung the least populated areas on earth. With only a few asphalted roads crossing, it is a true 4x4 off roaders country...

    After some doodling and seeing what other artist did with cars, I decided to try and see if I can sketch our own troopy. The result is stunning and I decided to turn it into a t-shirt design. It's available in different cuts, fittings and colors on our website here. What do you guys think. —C

    We bought a small drone recently and are experimenting vigorously ;-) Please let us know if you would like more of this? For now some small bits and pieces are open on our new YouTube channel and more stuff if behind a Patreon curtain. Not sure how that will work out in the future. Adventurous...
