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. Guess in stock configuration I would have add the same amount of adrenaline on the way to go there, than driving this part with a prepared vehicle.
But yes - it is crazy that many prepared rigs will never see the terrain for which they were built for...
At the end it alway have an price for going the adventure path during your journey.. During an trip over 4-5 countrys and months - your car is very overloaded.. So it always will lead to expensive repairs - if you really use the car. So consider that if you are starting to prepare your rig...
