As I said on Thursday, Johnny Thunder and the still nameless Safari Girl were looking for a way to sit side by side and not behind each otther.
I've now changed the Jeep with mudguards from the 200004 Jeep and suspension from the StuntCar 31085 by adding a 30149 cabin - which works astonishingly well. The two are delighted and went cruising in the mud right ahead.
Toy Project Day 2775
Ventured out in the snow, mildly relieved to have quattro all wheel drive as it was a bit of a hill to get here.
As normal in the UK, a small dropping of snow creates havoc!
Originally I had some narrower tires on here to match the original but I ended up going for the full monster truck spec.
In een land als Oekraïne weet je nooit waar je terechtkomt. Vooral als je enkel offline maps tot je beschikking hebt, kan het soms een avontuur worden als je ineens dat zijweggetje in wordt gestuurd. Het eerste halfuur rijd je dan over een prima weg (voor Oekraïense begrippen). We rijden door afgelegen dorpjes waar letterlijk alleen maar Lada's staan. De weg wordt langzaam slechter, de kuilen in de weg worden dieper. Op een gegeven moment kom je op een land/bergweggetje (zie foto) waar je waarschijnlijk prima met een Niva of Land Rover kan rijden, maar onze Ford Fiesta huurauto had het zwaar te verduren. Na heel wat kilometers verder wil je bijna het asfalt kussen als je weer de provinciale weg hebt bereikt. Maar, die 'sluiproute' was het waard!

In a country like Ukraine, you never know where you will end up. Especially if you only have offline maps at your disposal, it can sometimes be an adventure if you are suddenly sent into that side road. The first half hour you drive on a good road (for Ukrainian standards). We drive through remote villages where you literally see only Ladas. The road slowly gets worse, the potholes in the road get deeper. At some point you will arrive on a country/mountain road (see photo) that is probably fine to drive with a Niva or Land Rover, but our Ford Fiesta rental car had a hard time. After many kilometers further you almost want to kiss the asphalt when you have reached the provincial road again. But, that 'shortcut' was worth it!

Shots straight out of my iPhone... this is my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-Road truck transformed by the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in NC to overland and rock crawl... I climbed to the summit of Windrock mountain (traversing one trail segment rated difficult). I then drove down to southern FL.. coming back to IL to finalize the sale of my house. Next spring, I’m heading into the wildernesses of Canada and Alaska, taking a 7+ month photography trip (and that’s just the beginning).
