    Are you using roofs bars instead of a rack? how have you mounted your traction boards?

    • @JKoverland
      @JKoverland  2 года назад

      It is a modular rack system so yes a full roof rack. Boards have there own brackets that attach to the rack chanels. Everything is available at direct4x4.co.uk and 10% off Everything if you use code JKOVERLAND 🤟

    Altitude has a massive affect on vehicle performance, as the air thins the horsepower you make drops, I was in Peru a few years ago at 5000 metres and the vehicle was really struggling, just getting slower and slower. Then you get out to admire the view and the lack of oxygen hits you like a brick wall.

    • @JKoverland
      @JKoverland  2 года назад

      I've noticed a little harder to start at above 2000m didn't think that height would make a lot of difference but I can tell. Can understand 5000m 😄

    It's a treat to follow your trip, the mountains are spectacular...and the steep roads remind me of the trip we did in june to Tuscany. We drove a 1995 defender 110 with camping trailer up the mountains so I know the feeling of keeping it cool and dealing with the queue behind you ;)
    As you travel south I would like to recommend the plitvice lakes Croatia, dubrovnik Croatia, and Lake Shkodra Resort in Albania. Really nice campsite... you guys have fun and live the dream!

    I tend to do around 55-57mph on motorways, nice steady economical speed but you aren’t getting in the way of trucks and causing a rolling roadblock as they overtake. Truck speed is a relaxing speed to drive at, you can do it all day long and be chilled at your destination, do the same journey at 70 and your concentration levels have to go up as you are constantly overtaking stuff, looking for gaps to pull into, plus you use more fuel and potentially run at a higher temp.

    • @JKoverland
      @JKoverland  2 года назад

      Sounds similar as we don't hold up the trucks. I find they tend to be a bit slower out here on the b roads that we take and not on the tolls so it works really well :) she likes cruising around 50-55

    You guys look like you are having a great time. Beautiful country to be in. So excited for you both. If you need an option for camping or a hot shower if/when you get to Mostar, Bosnia or Bracc, Croatia let me know. I told my Dad about you guys. He’d be happy to welcome you in. Plenty of space at both options for camping or brick and mortar accommodations.
