After an abortive trip to Morocco last year, we are preparing for a trip to the Tunisian Sahara in October 2010.

My car was fairly well prepared but we are making many more mods to turn it into a full blown overland/expedition vehicle over the next few months.

I have detailed some of these and I will be adding plenty more on my website (address in signature below). You are welcome to comment and ask any questions.

I shall make the articles as detailed as possible to show how things were fitted, where they came from, how they were made and how successful they were.

In addition I will be running a 'countdown blog' until we leave on the 2nd October 2010 and then updating it remotely during the trip.

Many of the ideas and mods have come from things I have seen on forums and other personal websites. This site is my way of giving something back to the online community.

Here are some recent articles I have added.  Some articles are still 'in progress'

Full length boot storage system (http://www.overland-rovers.com/ralphs-pages/vehicle-modifications/160-full-length-boot-storage-system.html)
Built in fresh water system (http://www.overland-rovers.com/ralphs-pages/vehicle-modifications/175-fresh-water-system.html)
solar panel and boot security (http://www.overland-rovers.com/ralphs-pages/vehicle-modifications/179-solar-panels-a-boot-security.html)
Fitting a Hannibal Awning on a Safety Devices Roofrack (http://www.overland-rovers.com/ralphs-pages/kit-a-equipment/158-hannibal-awning.html)

I hope these are of interest.  There is plenty more to come including:

Howling Moon tent write up
GPS Tracking with Spot
Rooflight and work light wiring
Servicing and engine, drivetrain and brakes overhaul
Spares list
Tools list

Cheers

Ralph
