An online resource for everything about overland expedition travel. | OverlandResource.com - An online resource for everything about overland expedition travel.

The site listed is worth checking out, and possibly sharing articles on. And I'd love to see this aluminum cruiser in the flesh, now that they live locally.

yeah, cool site. I like some of the battery stuff, although they do promote those solar converters, which I had a rather shyte experience with. customer service was even more awesome than the non functional product.

But, I have to say, this whole "expedition" thing lately kinda makes me laugh...


At what point did camping for a few days become an expedition?

put a roofrack on a 60 paint the rims black and it's an " expedition rig" ....


Now if you're going for weeks on a serious backwoods tour, then yeah sure, but most of the time they're highway road trips...or just camping.


/rant.

the alumacruiser is cool. I saw a big write up about it years ago ( assuming it's the same one) but I haven't seen it in person either.

cheers,

Speaking of expeditions....

Truck conversation

Truck conversation is one of the funniest things i have heard,had to listen to it twice to get it all. Next time we go on an overnighter i will have to get me a roof rack and 4 gas cans and 2 spares and a fridge for my sushi.

yeah, that's good...

I actually owned a silver 80 for a while...and it had a bike rack, but I refused to call it an "expedition rig", even tho I slept in it twice...
even tried to get into that whole, expedition portal thing, but just kept getting the overwhelming pretentious douchebag vibe...


(sushi fridge would be pretty sweet tho...)
