Well, challenging for offroading, no. I just had to kick in 4wd a few times...

But the passes were challenging for the cooling system and the brakes...

And just got crazy and bought another vehicle:

At least it looks like that...

It's actually a czech and DDR production, built in 1967. Can't wait to pick it up...

No, it`ll remain oem, since it`s an oldtimer...

Just finished the trip report. But stay tuned, you never know where the road leads you:

Your truck sure is looking mean!

Can you possibly go into more detail on the construction and attachment of your aux battery box? I am wanting to do something similar! Thanks in advance!

Thanks man! What exactly do you want to know? It`s the cage made of angle iron bolted to the trunk floor...

Got some better HDR`s finished:

Danke...

We were at "Abenteuer Allrad" yesterday, that`s europes biggest overland expo...

Got some good deals, from an italian seller up to an british shop:



Bought a ****** block and a pair of 8" driving lights:



This is just for size comparison, they won`t be mounted there:





My new bumper will have a top mounted winch. There`ll be a hoop over the winch, and this is where those lights will be mounted. Now i`m just going to get some HID`s in them. I`m going to buy them in canada and take them home with me. Any recommendations where to buy some in vancouver?

Not sure if i showed you my molle gear on my drivers seat:



Also got this new sticker. It describes exactly what i`m doing here:



Btw., no new updates the next two months, since i`ll be in B.C.
