Doesn't look like very challenging terrain at all. They are driving through a village. I know there is much more challenging terrain than that in the States.

I don't think it is really about the "toughness" of the terrain. Here in the States, many times we choose the most difficult line just to see if we can make it. In my experience of installing solar water pumping systems in rural Africa for the last 20 years, you choose the easiest line to minimize the chance of breaking equipment as you need to be totally self sufficient. There are no RTH posts about I need "this bolt" or "how do I troubleshoot this". If you need to replace a piece of broken hardware to get moving you either improvise, or it can be a two day motorcycle ride to a dirt airstrip and then a plane ride back to the capital to find the part.
So yes, the training video does look like easy terrain, but the whole idea is to keep your equipment functional to get your job accomplished.

I'm assuming that was at least somewhat tongue in cheek. 'Overlanding' doesnt really have a clear definition. Although I will agree that 98% of expedition portal is pure cringe...
so with parts being discontinued is this the reason I see so many picking up "spare" LC's?

Very True. But, seems like parts in general for any car are expensive. My Honda, my wife's Pathfinder, my work truck and vans...

Agree, Nissan parts is expensive, try Mitsubishi, your jaw will fall to the ground. A waterpump for 2007 Mitsubishi Mirage retail for $189!! I find genuine parts for Toyota and Honda are very reasonable given its top quality high standard material used.
Yes. As I got into cars I went from a Trail Duster to a Cavalier then from there it was Audi and the three volvos. Then toyota. After years of it you aren't phased anymore.
So, is part 85214-YZZB6 - wiper inserts for the 80 series discontinued as well. That's the message I just got from an online yota dealer for these. Just the rubber portion of the wiper blade, not the metal inserts to hold it stiff.
Available? Guess I now have to go aftermarket?
