EXPLORE LABRADOR

Trans-Labrador Highway

The remoteness of the Trans-Labrador Highway challenges drivers from around the world. To survive this epic roadtrip into unparalleled wilderness, one must be as capable of dealing with mechanical faults as with persistent bloodsucking insects, bone-soaking rain, and moose hell-bent on auto-suicide.
For much of the 1185km you can feel like the Last Great Driver on Earth."

 

maybe we plan this as a future trip?

 

Count me in
The blood suckling insects got me hooked

 

Shouldnt be a challenge since we all drive toyotas!

 

.

Some of us may not be back into the U.S.

 

That sounds awesome

2019 trip? Haha

 

Ok so I'm finally ready... everything works, fits, and has a purpose! I love my truck! To bad the bike is going to sit this one out.

 

BTW this looks epic!

 

@Subway4X4 What does your rig weigh with all of that stuff?! Have you ever added all that weight up or scaled it lol. Saw all those pictures of the stuff you carry.

 

looking pretty good. better then before anyway.

Before I forget, here are cords for the spring in Plymouth, NH 43.744001, -71.680154

 

Dam I think something is very wrong ! all I got in my truck is tent, cooler , pop up canapé and a bag of Cheetos, compared to @Subway4X4 …………………………………………………………….

 

A few thousand, empty. A thousand more, when wheeling/camping.

 

That's basically all you need for a few days away from home. I see a lot of over kill. But don't forget a roll of tp.

 

I’ve wheeled and camped with @Grand dude - that’s not all he brings. Lol.

 

Have you lubed your Hi-lift today?


Those pins and pivots tend to stick if it isn’t lubed and cycled every once in awhile.

 

Good answer, a ton here and ton there.

 

( TP) naaaaa as long as I can find leaves im good

 

Yeah. The EMPTY truck already weighs a LOT! But never weighed it.

I’m guessing over a thousand pounds over stock. Front plate bumper w full hoops, rear plate HC bumpers with swingout/fold down table, SnugTop Cap, 1/4” reinforced steel IFS skid, 3/16” reinforced Tranny, Front Diff, rear diff skids, 1/4” aluminum gas tank skid, all steel sliders, dual batteries, 12k rated winch.

Probably another 800 pounds geared up, including water, fuel, propane.

I drive a Prius or ride my bike on weekdays.

 

Have you maintained/cleaned your winch line today?

Dirt and grit can work it’s way into the synthetic line and break down the fibers over time. Regular maintenance helps slow down that process.

Dry and respool under tension (I use a handy Prius)
