Hi guys,
Wanted to share the summer road trip the wife and I did this summer in our 2005 CRD.
I had just replace the front OME chocks with a set of Koni Heavy Track.
The KJ was loaded like nuts, and the drive is really good, stable, firm and still comfortable. (thanks Tony !!)

Approx. 5'000 km between Geneva and Svenljunga (Sweden).
Not much of extreme off road but some great dirt road drive in Sweden (I love this place !).

No pics of the crossing of Germany, very boring 1000km, specially with with guys overtaking you at more than 200 km/h.
Meaning you have to look closely in the rear mirror before overtaking. 8)

Waiting for the ferry on the German side to cross to Sweden.

Parking the Libbie in the ferry, really cool ships these ferries...

Right after arrival in Sweden we took some small roads, beleive it, this one was recommended by the GPS...

Thant's beautiful country. I would love to ship my KK to Europe one day. And Africa, Asia, and Australia for that matter. Oh well it will probably never happen, would be fun though.
