Keep yourself updated with our vehicle mods. How and why we add on on bits and bobs!

The old gal you see up there's got gravel in her guts - literally... what else would you expect? It is up to us to loosen her up and take care of her underbelly and moving parts. As we embark on this challenge Filippo, Pietro and I (Alberto, in case you forgot) have to get to grips with tools and knowledge. We are slowly acquiring tools of the trade and are looking forward to getting dirty. At least Alberto is. Out of the trio Alberto and Filippo have a deeper understanding and proficiency with the mechanical aspects of our rig, and most cars for that matter. 

We plan to execute regular and calendarized maintenance operations on the Galloper in order to maintain and boost her operational capabilities.

We also want to carry out all of these maintenance chores as Alberto finds it fun and paramount, Filippo just gets on with it, and Pietro... well Pietro's gonna have to learn but in the meantime we could all do with another cup of coffee...

Keep tabs with WHAT we're doing and HOW we're doing it! We will make it public so you newbies won't be scared to invest in some essential tools for your garage workshop and won't be scared to budget your toolbox; and you old timers can insult us or douse us with pearls of salty wisdom.

Check out the progress piece by piece with budgets, parts, hours and videos to keep your own cogs turning and smiles coming.

From preventative to regular maintenance  we're here to walk you through what we do so that you can do the same. We're also here to learn from you!  Old tricks and ingenious solutions will get most back off the road.

As we grow our experience (and hopefully wallets) we want to go further.

To do so Moka will get a healthy dose of add-ons and gadgets to make her and our lives better and allow us to travel further giving her the tools to get us home again. Roof racks, suspension, traction devices (tires) and more lumens will slowly but surely grow on her. Follow her progress into stardom and our struggles meddling with steel, wood and bank accounts to get her to be good, not look good.

THE NEVER ENDING LUST FOR RUBBER

I have a thing for tires, and you, since you're reading probably do too. It's Ok you know. No need to feel ashamed or worry about being an outcast in society. Us overlanders kinda are anyhow.  When I see a rig with a set of cool shoes I often loudly express my support and excitement to... keep reading!

LUBRICATION GETS YOU DEEP... IN THE WILDERNESS

All puns intended, lubrication really does get you deep into the wilderness... and out. So we took note of the importance of these viscous smooth and costly liquids and are trying to wrap our heads around the idea that... keep reading!
