Hey guys,

I released a new series yesterday. This will most likely be the final chapter of the 'Kombi Life Saga'

Thanks for sharing the journey with me and for your support, it wouldn't have been possible without you.

Episode 1 - A terrible start, to something very special

Thu Jun 13, 2024 6:10 am

Episode 2

Episode 3
I think you guys will like this one.

This one covers all the mechanical prep that we did getting ready for this new series of travel. I was pleasantly surprised Tamara wanted to learn about the wrenching, she seemed to take to it quite well. I mean once, we got over the whole lefty loosey thing :lol:

Steering box failure led to 36 days stuck in a desert in Spain. (no, not purely because of incompetence, at least not on our part :lol: )

That explains why it takes a month to change a steering box on a Baywindow Bus :lol:

The episode where we fit the steering box with help from TheSamba and reflect on a month spent in the desert. (the best episode)

Episode 10

I think I found the limits of my LSD in this video - to be honest, I was a little disappointed with how the Kombi behaved off-road given the posi-traction installed in the tranny. I thought it would be more capable. We were very heavy - full of supplies, still.

FYI - This episode mostly doesn't feature the VW
