This is my hot shower setup since 10 years, by using a heat exchanger to get hot water when the engine is running. Here I did start to collect solutions and components for a hot shower by gas, diesel, 12v, 110v/220v and solar at this link: US Market: Hot water and shower solutions for...

I drive an european Land Cruiser 200, with AHC. I love to be able to adjust the dampers for comfort and the height of the rig during trails. It allows relaxed long term driving over bad roads and tracks, as well as highway driving. I`m on the road since 10 Years, and did 110`000 km / 68500...

It is not spam - it is a great device which should be considered in a updated overlanding powersetup at 2021 ;) I did went the way with crowdfunding to get one of the Ecoflow R600 Pro. Lucky me, because it will not hit the market with lifepo4. But the Ecoflow River Pro is near the same with...

Thank you for adding! Guess for most cars it will be to much weight above! The Land Cruiser 200 can carry 150kg on road and 75kg offroad - so it would be possible. But for most cars like a ford ranger ute - it is too much - just with the weekender water tank...

I did detect this kind of flexible water tank inside of a facebook group recently. I really like this solution compared to other ways of water storage. They are a perfect mobile solution, easy to install and remove. And no water noise out of the tank, compared to classic water tanks. Article...

At the summer of last year, we was very lucky to be able to travel. Not many countrys in europe did allows travelling during the first covid lockdown... So we was very lucky to be able to travel in sweden for three weeks! Here is our trip report with a lot of pictures...

We did drive a very good car with a well engineered noise cancellation. Even noisy tyres are more noticable outside than inside. I`m on the road with Cooper STT since 68`000 miles, from africa till south america. Have to switch now, because the old tyre is end of life. Thanks for your...

It is also the poor offroad capability. It is ok to follow a dirt road if she is on good condition. In Mud you will need your winch more often. And at steep hills (without anchor points) - the heavy pigs arent able to follow at example at such routes, specially if the meadow isnt dry. My car...

You allways will have a weight issue, when you start modding without tracking the weight. Mostly adding offroad stuff will lead to overweight, even without travelling purpose The Land Cruiser 200 is also sold as armored vehicle with 5.1 tons, with a modificated suspension. So the axxle and...

That many owners of travelling vehicles are fighting the weight with too much load is pretty common. That even travellers with Roof top tents have to take care, is less known. Not all cars are able to carry a roof top tent (RTT) under offroad conditions. Because the offroad calculation change...

We already has some threads about, too at ih8mud. Here I did collect a lot of links about 4x4: howto sleep inside with a lot of pictures and examples But here are too a lot of beautiful setups showed! Surfy

You should always try to get the smallest possible rim - to get more gum under the car! 17" is the smallest size, because of the break disks. Please note too that the Landcruiser 200 are sold different around the world, which brings other Tyre Sizes with, who are possible without further...

On a longterm worldtrip some preparations seems to make sense - but the preparation will also kill a part of the adventure. My next plan is to do the transsibiria what I will call overlanding like all these trips before. For this 50km Part out of a 30`000km Trip are our car prepared for...

It is just spam - in a thread like this. Please open a own thread if you really want to discuss that. Surfy
