What a lot of couples do is register one vehicle in one person's name, and the other one in the other person's name. Works great, but it means you both have to physically be there for ALL border crossings. Or depending on where you're going in the world, get a separate Carnet De Passage for...

You will have a hard time crossing some international borders with two vehicles registered in your name (i.e. the Jeep and the bike). Some countries don't let you do that. Also remember anything outside the vehicle will get absolutely hammered by the dust, mud and sun, to the point it will be...

Price too high? Make me a reasonable offer. -Dan

Hi All, I'm selling my Canon 60D DSLR with 2 lenses and a TON of extras. I'm not interested in separating. This camera has been absolutely brilliant, I'm only upgrading because I want to print my shots and I need to go full-frame. Every photo in every article I've had in Overland Journal (4...

My summer is rolling on, showing the Jeep and telling stories. It's a little surreal meeting people who have been following me the whole time, though also great fun. THIS WEEKEND (Aug 23/24) I'm showing the Jeep and speaking at the Great Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee...

Weight/payload will be your biggest challenge. Simply with 5 people and some kit in the Wrangler you're already going to be close to GVWR. As soon as you add a fridge, RTT, rack and minimal clothes, you'll be over. -Dan

Thanks Jeff. It's cool to see the production version of my build :) (And I was inspired by someone else, so it's not even my idea!) -Dan

Very nice! Can you please check how much of a gap there is beteween the table surface and the back surface when the table is closed? I'd love to know if it will be possible to mount all my cutlery in there again like on the JK version. The JK version has almost an inch gap, allowing for the...

Anytime I camped with someone with an RTT, I simply could not believe the setup and tear down time, and it would have driven me mental for the three years I have been in my Ursa. The ursa is literally 30 seconds up, 60 seconds down. I've watched couples battle for 10 minutes to fold away their...

Yes indeed, the BC Overland Rally was a great time. Awesome to meet so many people who stopped by the Jeep to say hello! Also, I keep adding new shows to my schedule for the summer - the current list looks like this. If you know of a show you think I should be attending/presenting at, please...

I hadn't heard that, but I must say I have not been following it very closely. I think they're saying the RAM 1500 is getting an "all New" ecoDiesel 3.0 in the coming year... so it will be very interesting to see what's changed. -Dan

Hi All, I'm moving around North America displaying the Jeep and giving presentations and talks about what I've done. This weekend I'm at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler County, Pennsylvania. It's been great to meet so many people that have followed, and even a ton of people that...

Thanks very much for the support, I really appreciate it! Expo East is currently number one on my list of "maybe", if that makes sense. It's really far for me to cross the country yet again, and after that I'd have to turn around and drive up to the Yukon... I will update the list of shows on...

Hey, thanks for the support! Absolutely, I'm touring North America this summer talking about the trip, showing off the Jeep, etc. Currently my scheduled is as follows. I'm toying with the idea of adding a few more, we'll see what comes: Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival –...

Hi All, I imagine everyone has tons of questions about the whole expedition, so I'm doing an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit.com right now. Come on over and ask me absolutely anything about the expedition. It's all on the table - safety, money, health, budget, visas, route, people, animals, the...

Thanks for the kind words everyone - it really means a lot to me. I have dreams and plans for future, and a few irons in the fire, but nothing is locked in yet. More adventures, just exactly what kind I'm not sure yet! The costs skyrocket, so I wanted to get this version out now, and a...

Hil All, The Jeep has arrived in North America, and now I'm on a mission. I'm presenting, showing the Jeep and speaking on panels at Overland Expo in Flagstaff, AZ next weekend (17th, 18th, 19th May). I will also be at many other Overland/4x4 shows over the summer, the full list is here...

Thanks! I learned French on the West Coast (many, many countries speak it), and my Spanish worked well in the few Portuguese countries. I learned very basic Swahili in East Africa which is good in about 6 countries, and a couple of words in a handful of other languages just to make people smile...

John and Ursa Minor will indeed be there - and my Africa Conquering Jeep will also be in the UM booth! I will see you there! -Dan

Thanks everyone for the kind words - it really means a lot! A few hours before I flew out of Egypt I put the dates into one of those online "number of days between two dates" things, and it spat out 999. It seemed fitting. -Dan
