5 Year Trip in a Grenadier Across the World towing a Patriot X3 Which We Live In.

I never bothered with a website, it only encourages people to ring me.
Me either. I've never advertised. I was sitting in the stands Saturday watching one of the baseball teams I sponsor in a league I sponsor, and a mom is telling me how she spent an hour google searching the company name and logo, and for the life of her, she cant find any info on what the hell the company does that sponsored her sons team.

On topic though, I see Matt is still in Mongolia. (these IP address flags are awesome). Has your cart started to get rebuilt yet? Hows the frame? I was thinking how lucky you were the tires didn't catch with the fuel. Like a Haitian necktie that's typically all she wrote. Is there a lead time when it will be ready?

I was genuinely laughing reading that, I have often read your comments and wondered if we would get on in real life, your outlook on life is just the right amount of skewed.

And you are right, we do need to get back to the main family and all their strife. I thought Matt looked like an ex-military type person, then I read his Adventure website and it just explained everything. What a lucky family even with the odd setbacks.

Showed the wife the bridge crossing as funnily enough earlier that day she said i wouldn't be going across a wooden bridge in the Grenadier that we have used previously. She said there was no way on this earth you would have ever got her on those crossings. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that you didn't have the trailer with you. Do you have any idea on the weight limits or do much larger vehicles cross?

I'm counting 10 main cables, they look to be 25mm'ish. That's 1,000,000 pounds of break to start with. If each suspender is the same, you're talking 100k pounds. I don't know about the design and workmanship, but the material is there. A Main Battle Tank could be a bit sketch, but overall I'd be more worried about the upkeep. I like everything about the floating design, except maybe the proximity of ones toes. That would irk an OSHA inspector.
