Small jobs on the Wee Rover

We got a couple of things done on the Wee Rover while we have been living on the Oregon coast.

Our odometer gave up the ghost on a dusty road in the Yukon. This coupled with the fact that google maps only works with cell coverage pushed us to purchase a GPS! We found the cheapest, highest rated, Garmin on Amazon and ordred it up. We now have odometer, speedometer, and mapping for North, Central, and South America. Such modern technology!)

Navigation…now we don’t have an excuse for getting lost, yea right, we’ll still get lost.
Odometer, speedometer, and who knows what else, maybe it even bakes cookies…ok wishful thinking.

D had rebuilt the front axles prior to leaving on the trip, but had not installed a steering stabilizer. We added one just to help in the off road sections coming up as we head south to Baja. For a quick taste of our future route, check out the “Baja Divide” trail. We can’t wait!

Brand new steering stabilizer, the nice clean thingee under there😁

  1. Hey Melissa – A GPS is great to have for sure! Another option to use is an App called Maps.Me

    You download the maps you want and your phone becomes your GPS. No cell coverage needed. We use it all over the world while trekking and getting around cities. It is awesome!

    Keep enjoying! We are doing some day hikes in Kashmir for the week.

    1. Hey, thanks for the tip on maps.me. We will look into it. Your pictures of Kashmir are amazing. Have a great time! m

    1. Hi Guys! I am so glad you are enjoying the blog. Thanks! Are you guys back home, yet? Any snow?

      1. Read several of your new posts this morning. Always fun and funny!

        We got home last week. Had snow in Idaho and Wyoming. Almost floated away in Nebraska and Illinois. So much rain!!! Nice to be home and planning our next adventure.

        Hope your engine is ready soon!

        1. Hi Alison and Bob, Your trip home sounds like quite the adventure. Glad you made it home safe. Is your next adventure skiing? Killington ski area has already opened for the season! I am sure Sugarbush and Stowe won’t be far behind. Rain here on the coast.

  2. Steve says “On the road again!!” Safe travels as you bid adieu to the lovely Oregon Coast!
