Definitely a good listen and makes me want to go on the next annual overland. I'm just not sure any of my rovers can run for that many days without falling to bits.

Mile's needs a day in his honor for planning such an epic journey. I can't wait for the write up and hopefully pod cast.

So Mark as of now can't make it. But Amelia and Cassidy are in! This does mean I will be solo driving the road miles. Any advice for prepping for such mileage? I haven't done more than 400 miles in a day since 2021.
A bunch of NCLR podcasts in the queue to put you in the mood. Or make you sick of land rover talk by the time you get there.

A water crossing gone wrong for my dad back in 1984 while camping in the black rock desert.

I'm in the truck's drive train is all sorted-out witch caused me last year to bail out, just finishing the rear bumper and need to figure out how to secure cargo inside the vehicle. This is my first time any pointers what to bring extra parts? or what not to bring?
The big rule of thumb in my opinion is weight is the enemy. You don't want to hinder your trucks performance or break parts because of the extra weight of your extra parts. It's a fine dancing line that I personally have not yet perfected as I tend to over pack and run to heavy. But coordinating with others like Eric said helps to spread the weight around.

My backyard is starting to look like a rover storage lot but they all belong to Julia. And even though I shower her with all these superior orphaned automobiles she still looks upset when I bring one home, I guess I just need to buy more until she's happy.

We might bum over for the event I don't think we'll participate because I'm just a natural born Mario Andretti and I just am not sure I can commit to the finals. But a chance to rub shoulders with everyone sounds fun.

I wish we could make this one its just a bit of a haul for a Saturday and we might be trapped on this side of the hill. But take lots of pictures and we can't wait for the next one....and some spring weather.

It might just be me but I'm hoping to make it. That being said if the Sierras are anything like reno it'll be deep in the snowy snow.

We got the old trans and t case out and cut the stock crossmember out then mocked in the new stuff. It's gonna be a bit tight hear and there and a new trans tunnel is needed but it seems to all fit, for now.
Then a little fab work with some universal engine mounts and it's in ish.

Thanks to everyone who put the trip together and to miles, we ended up useing your spot since it was closer to the main camp fire. We had a blast up there playing a mini snow camel trophy with every piece of recovery gear getting used. I'm pretty certain every truck had a winch and every winch was used at some point, be it witching themselves or other vehicles out. Two of those vehicles weren't even in our group but ended up in the stuck fest with us. Iv got a few good pictures to put up one of wich Eric will be very proud of. I'm excited for the recap podcast as well and for bowman now.

Hey all, I thought I'd make this trip but Mrs. won't camp sub-freezing. I have a site for Saturday and Sunday so if anyone wants it and doesn't mind covering the cost, LMK and we can trade info.
We were gonna shack up with Eric but to keep the nclr camp block we would be more then happy to pay for and use your spot. I'm a bit of a sissy so we are gonna trailer our 88 so having an extra spot to leave the tow truck might be handy.

I wish we could make this but that weekend is Julia's brother in laws bachalor party so we will be a group of unruly men camping ironically close by in the Sierras. That being said the peak of the perseid meteor shower is Aug 11 to 13 so stay up late one night and make your rover parts wishes.
