ThunderHawk Performance – Another in the Borneo Series
When we first decided to make the Borneo trip we called Harry at ThunderHawk. ThunderHawk has a complete line of UTV strengthening products and unique accessories. After walking Harry through our concerns and discussing how we would be using the RZR, he recommended the following for our RZR build. Chassis Stiffening One item of concern […]
Holz Sprague Front Differential Carrier – Another in our Boreno Build Series
Did you ever go on a ride and hear your rig make a noise that sounds distinctly like something broke then it continues to operate fine? That happened during the maiden voyage of our RZR S to Moab. In fact if you listen very closely to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAXZs5QOHHw you can here the sound as […]
Warn XT30 Synthetic, Wireless Remote Winch – Another in our Borneo Build Series
WARN recommends the XT/RT30 winch for the Polaris RZR. They have enough experience to know what they are talking about too. The XT30 is plenty of winch to yank a RZR around. In fact, I think I should mention that too much winch is not necessarily a good thing. I have seen plenty of rigs […]
Warn Winch Mounting Bumper – Another in our Borneo Build Series
A real bumper is sort of hard to come by in our industry. Most seem to have more to do with looking cool than performing much of a function. We need the real deal. We may find ourselves in some messy situations where we will depend on the font bumper to save our hide. The […]
The Build – Making a RZR-S Expedition Ready – The Fourth in our Borneo Expedition Series
When I first started investigating the Borneo Equator Expedition I thought “Maybe the RZR needs some work before we do this.” As it turns out these expedition guys have been around the block and have pretty stringent set of rules and requirements for any rig that wants to participate in their events. I quickly realized […]

The Road to Borneo – This is the Third Article in a Series Documenting our Borneo Equator Expedition 09 Trip
I’m just old enough to remember seeing some of those old Bob Hope – Bing Crosby “On the Road..” pictures on late night TV. They were hokey and corny and made me want to go to places like Singapore and Zanzibar. Not sure when I’ll make it to Zanzibar but Singapore was cool. I guess […]
Borneo? What? Where? Why? This is the Second Article in a Series Documenting our Borneo Equator Expedition 09 Trip
It’s been a few weeks since I made the decision to make the trip to Borneo and participate it the Expedition. If you read the first article you know that this is an international group of drivers converging in the city of Jakarta to kick off a 1500Km expedition through the jungles of Borneo. I’ve […]
Borneo Equator Expedition 09 – It’s a GO!!!!!!!!! – The First in a Series
I’ve had my share of international travel. Corporate America can shove plenty of that down your throat. My non-work tourist adventures have let me spend several weeks each in Japan, France, Australia, Hong Kong, Thailand, New Zealand and Germany and a few sit on the beach trips to Hawaii and Mexico. All were great, but frankly they […]
Borneo Equator Expedition – Too Crazy for Me, So Meet Shannon Bushman
Some people hear about my adventures and call me crazy… When Fred, my friend and an International Journalist, asked me to participate in an expedition across Borneo not leaving one degree of the equator, I was excited to consider the possibilities especially because it would require a little more from me than normal. Lets just […]
