Choosing, preparing, understanding-in-depth and maintaining an overland truck (or a smaller overlanding vehicle) is one of the toughest parts of the whole overlanding experience. And what about the kit to take with you? It’s daunting. Here’s how we did it with Cuthbert our overland truck. All the technical specifications and for the real techie-geeks… full detail on the modifications and repairs. Click on the links below:
