Awesome! I've thoight about doing this in Yukon/Alaska, but you actually did it! Great work making it happen!! -Dan

Hi Everyone, After the most insane paperwork run-around and bureaucracy of my life, I managed to drive the Jeep into a 20 foot shipping container and seal the door. Immediately I felt like I was separated from a good friend, a really strange feeling. After 999 days, I hopped on a plane, and...

Of course you are! I'm just a regular guy who wanted to find out what happens if I try to do something extraordinary. Nothing stops anyone else from doing the same thing! ...also, I figured there are enough YT channels throwing Maxtrax around in slo-mo, so I've stayed away from that, and kept...

I'm running the Dometic 35L and it's been brilliant. For two people it's possible to cram in enough food & drinks for a week - but that's really pushing it. I like that it has such a low current draw on the battery, and doesn't take up too much space inside the Jeep. -Dan

Hi All, After almost three years, 35 countries and over 53,000 miles, I have driven right around Africa, and arrived at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt! I am absolutely ecstatic!! Read the full story: http://theroadchoseme.com/cairo-pyramids-of-giza Now only the final hurdle remains - shipping...

I agree. It's amazing we can now get Wranglers and Gladiators from the factory that will take 35s, and 37s with only a 2 inch lift! Think back to the TJ days... 35s was a massive undertaking, and 37s are still a big job on the JK. -Dan

I went through these questions and a lot more when I designed and built my water tank setup on my JK Wrangler for 2+ years around africa. The whole process is documented here: http://theroadchoseme.com/diy-4x4-water-tank-pump-filtration-and-treatment After almost 3 years on the road, it has...

Hi All, I have driven the length of Sudan, exploring the desert and wild camping every single night. Tons more photos on my website. Now after crossing the most expensive, complicated and convoluted border of my life, I have driven into Egypt. The 35th and final African country on this...

The steel wheels on my JK are a Mopar part: http://theroadchoseme.com/tire-selection-bfgoodrich-ko2-all-terrain -Dan

SOLD.

I also thought it was a bit crazy, though I'd bet if you run the numbers, that is a much better chance than if you played the regular lottery for long enough to spend $62k -Dan

Nena Barlow has one in her rental fleet on 37s, without a regear, and I think it regularly gets in the low 20s. She posts about it on Facebook occasionally. -Dan

There was a quadratec video a couple of weeks back on youtube where he runs a tape measure over ever possible dimension of the bed. -Dan

Price drop to $300 USD including shipping worldwide. These have to go! -Dan

Cheers. The system has been brilliant. As you said, I would skip the level gauge next time. Once you live in it long enough, you get a good sixth sense for how full it is. For the "emergency" extra amount, I have a black bag I use as a shower than holds 10L (2.6 gal). Once or twice I pumped it...

Thanks for the kind words. In person I keep telling people "Yeah, it kind of got out of hand...in the best possible way!" -Dan

Hi All, I drove back over the horrendous road and into Ethiopia, and after driving the Jeep to over 14,080 ft. in the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, I was happy to make it out of that country safely and without incident. In all my expeditions around the world, Ethiopia is the only country I...

I apologize profusely. The ones on my Jeep are heated, but apparently the spares that have been in Dad's shed the whole time are not. My mistake entirely. I will update the original post, and price drop to $350 shipped worldwide. Thanks, -Dan

I still have a set available.

Take it from me, the J30 does not need any kind of protection. I've driven mine on 50,000 miles of the worst roads in the world through West Africa and Southern and Eastern Africa, and it has zero pin-striping from thousands and thousands of tree branches and what-not. In fact the Jeep has pin...
