What is Overlanding
- While expedition is defined as a journey with a purpose, overlanding sees the journey as the purpose.
- It's all about the adventure -- Exploration, Education and Conservation!
- Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically, but not exclusively, accommodated by mechanized off-road capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping; often lasting for extended lengths of time (months to years) and spanning international boundaries.

the Propeller shaft dangle angle
Is that a 30 deg. angle? I didn't check but I should have. Yep its bad at full droop I'm screwed, what makes it worse is the axle is offset, when the passenger side droops it is going to crunch. the only thing saving me is my shocks, they act as limiting straps. What should I do, I know it can droop further on the driver side. I am thinking a limiting strap right to the top of the diff. and a higher angle drive shaft in the future. Comments welcome (remember i plan on wheeling this thing for a while so improvements will happen)
Rear Axle
The pinion was sloppy so in order to prevent the cost of the fix from going up it was decided to tare the axle down and check it out. Nothing major was wrong but the shims were messed up, most likely from tare down the last time it was rebuilt. All bearings were replaced inside the pumpkin. I learned allot from this component rebuild.
Fish Plate
A shot of the fish plates I have cut out and added to the frame for support, after I have straightened the frame and welded the cracks. I installed fish plates at 6 points on the frame. I'm thinking that the fish plates welded on in this fashion will allow the frame to flex and hold the frame together.

MESA
Mesa is my place of residence becuase:
- Heratige.
- It is our home base.
- It is not in the country.
- I was born here.
- Mesa-nites can rest easy knowing they don't have to mow their lawns.
