Today we got up early. First we tested the tent and made the beds so it’s ready to sleep in. After that it was time to see how to fit everything in the car. It went very well. I also mounted the new TPMS tire pressure system. The temperature readings seem a bit unreliable, but […]
I spent today trying to figure out how to obtain one of those cool laundry kegs experienced overlanders use on trips.You fill it up with dirty laundry, add water and detergents, close it, and let it sit in the back or on the roof all day. By the end of the day, the laundry is […]

Today I finally managed to finish the assembly of our own solar panel for charging the car battery. I bought a large, flexible solar panel made in China from a SWES (Swedish Expedition Society) member earlier in the summer, to be used for charging the car battery the days we’re not driving, since the fridge/cooler […]
Earlier this week, our fantastic Land Cruiser was adorned with a complete set (5) BFGoodrich All Terrain KO2 tires, courtesy of BFGoodrich. They were mounted by Euromaster in Täby, and I would just like to mention them as they were very friendly and professional.Yesterday I made some notice papers and put out in the Verizon […]
