General maintenance class needed to borrow the L8 D3. If we're lucky they will fix something!


And we have arrived at Overland Expo East! There is a tremendous Land Rover presence here already on day one.


With only 30 miles to go, it has been a fantastic ride in this glorious country we are lucky enough to live in.


Less then 200 miles to go from expo east.Ouchi will never look the same again


The Terrafirma store in France posted up a pretty cool pic, but they had street tires and a rinky dinky tool box. We thought we would show them what a proper off-road truck looks like. Who do you think has the better picture?




400 miles left to expo east and still extremely foggy here in the Virginia Hills


555 Miles to go.


On the way to expo east but If anyone would like to move Fletcher North Carolina 700 miles closer I would greatly appreciate it.


Say hello to theExpo East Roll over truck.
