not to mention it has been all over the 4x4 rags this past year... 4wd exploring

definitely gonna need a locker, but what all your gonna need really depends on where your planning on going. you don't only need a capable vehicle, but also enough fuel and water, camping gear, etc...

are you wanting to do an expedition, or just a weekend run? what kind of area/ terrain are you looking at? I highly recommend looking at the turtle expeditions website, as they have listed what they have done to all their trucks. (plus they are ford sort of people!)

lol, we used to call that Saturday... if you want to get technical, an overland vehicle is capable of driving long distances being self sustained. for example, one of the turtle expeditions drove across russia.

What's this "search" crap you speak of? It takes too long and is much easier to just ask new questions.

Questions like:

Is K&N cold air intake worth it?

What is the biggest tire that will fit my 1988 Bronco II?

I agree, doing searches does take some time.

Turtle Expedition » The Turtle V

Check out the Turtle Expedition.
