Update: Sorry for the radio silence last Thursday. Meet my 89 year young mom! This is emotionally hard y'all. I'll explain why in this post. So as you know if you've been following our posts, we are getting ready to drive around the world. This means that we'll be outside the United States...

Well it is time for another update. I really do these more for me than anyone else so I can look back and reflect on my own thoughts. It's kind of like letting others peer into my mind, and transparently I'm ok with that. It is all part of the journey. Tomorrow July 27, 2021 Brittany and I are...

For those interested in the build portion (we're much more interested in the journey portion) but we kinda got to get through the build to get to the journey... Our entire build series can be found on YouTube here. But the highlights of the build are: Jeep Gladiator Sport S with Max Tow...

45 days. Including days off and driving days, that's what it took to build our rig. It was stock on June 7, 2021. On July 21, 2021 it was finished. Meet DAUNTLESS. This is the rig we plan to drive around the world. ? If you are interested you can watch the entire build series on our YouTube...

Our interview with Scott Brady at Overland Journal for the Overland Journal Podcast just went live today. So humbling to sit across from someone with his experience level and be interviewed about our upcoming travels. ~ E

We were humbled to be interviewed by @Scott Brady for the Overland Journal Podcast back in April. The episode just went live today. If you'd like to give it a watch or listen you can find the links on this article in which @BrittanyHighland sums up what the episode is all about. We are...

Now at shop 4 of 4 in Austin, Texas. Just Jeeps is the last major portion of our build out. We have been here 5 days, we hope to be done in the next 3. Then it is shakedown time.

Update Sunday July 18, 2021: As always, it seems that there are setbacks. The crew at Just Jeeps flew through all of the regular stuff (lift, wheels, tires, diff covers, springs, air bags, etc) However, once we started with the smaller stuff the pace slowed down a little. This is no reflection...

One piece at a time… Today is day 4 at Just Jeeps in Austin, Texas and DAUNTLESS is growing up just a bit. Nothing huge, just enough to keep the tires sourced globally as much as we can and still give us the ride and traction we need. But check out them wheels tho. (We are running the BFG KO2...

And so the mechanical portion of our build begins at Just Jeeps in Austin, Texas.

7/12/21 UPDATE: On May 31 we picked up our stock Gladiator from the dealership. On June 1st we took it to shop #1 Juniper Overland in Denver Colorado On June 26th we left Denver and headed to Albuquerque for shop #2 (secret shop) On June 28th we delivered the Gladiator to shop #3 Sonoran...

Wednesday and we're still here in Tucson. Our 2020 extruded aluminum was lost in shipment and delayed. We ordered some from another source that is supposed to arrive by 10pm this evening. We have 3 things left to tackle. Checking the exhaust which we feel needs to be tightened. The bar that is...

Currently in shop 3 of 4 in our global overland build. Long hours getting it done, but we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It took us 3 years to build out our North American overlanding rig. We're building out our global rig in 3 months.

Super kind of you to say. Appreciate the love on Caspian. We're so blessed to be his "rents," every day he makes us smile. ~ Eric

It has been a rough week this past week. Brittany and my hearts are hurting for family and friends that have gone through so much (and are still going through things) and we’re in constant prayer for them. We’ve had family pass away, friends lose their loved ones, other international friends...

We are running the National Luna Legacy 50L on our build, and would highly recommend that you at least consider taking a look. We're really excited to have this fridge in our global overland build. We'd been running an ARB 50Q on our North American build, but the National Luna is next level...

Excited for team MULE. Looks like a great build. If we were staying in North America on our journey we would have done much the same. Our build out is different because of where we're headed. But I really like the choices you've made on yours and look forward to following the progress. We look...

So excited for you Dan! This time with your dad will be super special, and this journey you are about to undertake will cement you as one of the more knowledgable solo international overlanders of our time. We couldn't be more thrilled for you and are keeping tabs on all you are up to. Thank you...

Haha. Thanks for following our adventure. Wait, I don't know who this is, but I see the Longhorn handle... so I'll just say "Hook'em" unless you want to reveal yourself. ? \m/ ~ Eric
