I'm really happy to hear you are enjoying the book so much! Please remember to leave a review on Amazon! Thanks -Dan

My 2011 JKUR is full of electronics with pretty much every computer you can think of. Through 32,000 miles of West African mud, water and corrugations it's been rock solid, never a blip. It has about 120k miles on the clock now, going great. I've had water over the hood many, many times, and...

Hi All, I have just posted a new video on YouTube, this one is about the 6 weeks I spent exploring all over Angola. It's only the second country on the entire continent I have extended my visa in, so you can imagine how much I enjoyed my time there. Angola really has everything you can...

Hi All, After reaching the Southern Tip and half way point, I continued around to Cape Town. The scenery along the way is simply stunning, and reminds me of the Great Ocean Road in Australia - actually I think it's even better. And they have penguins. Yes, really. More...

I drove AK-Argentina with a soft top. I really loved the open air feel, though I had to build a lock box in the back for my stuff. To make sure nobody would cut the canvas I never locked the doors. -Dan

Thanks very much for the support! This continent continues to blow my mind, and I can't recommend more highly you both get over here and experience it. Rent a 4x4 with a RTT in Nam or SA and roam for a month or two, you will not regret it! -Dan

Thanks! I am on my way North now, hoping to hit your suggestions! -Dan

Hi All, Before setting out to circle Africa, I drove 40,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina on the Pan-Am Highway & finally I have published a book about my adventure: My first taste of Overland adventures changed my life. This book is a collection of the adventures I had, the people I met...

Hi All, After 32,000 miles through 21 countries in Africa, I have officially reached the Southern-most tip of Africa, which is the half way point of the expedition. Already it has been the adventure of my lifetime, and it's only half way done! From here, it's North through another 15 or so...

Hi All, My latest video is on YouTube now - crossing the infamous DRC - The Congo - (Formally Zaire) I think this is my best video yet, I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks! -Dan

Hi All, My latest video is on YouTube now: Driving across the Republic of Congo ! The country was not at all what I expected, and I loved it! [VIDEO] -Dan

Did you look into that? I know plenty of people that have had vehicles sent on the Alaska Marine Line Ferries from Seattle to Skagway for about $800 - $1000. Granted Kodiak is a little further, but I don't see the price difference being that big.

Ah, that makes sense, you can get to the underside from "outside" the canvas. I would for sure use some big plates to act as washers. Thanks for the kind words, though I can't take all the credit. Ursa actually mounted my panels, so the bolts were moulded into the fiberglass. -Dan

I think you would want to drop the headliner first... otherwise you'll be drilling and bolting through it, which would look ugly. Not only that, your bolts would crush the headliner to the roof, which I think would be bad for it and make your whole mountain weaker. If it were me, I would drop...

Thanks. What kind of mileage does it get? I have always been curious to own one of these things, it feels like the perfect Yukon/AK vehicle. -Dan

Down the bottom where it straightens out in SA they are doing a MASSIVE amount of road work. The road has virtually washed away and all the embankments have collapsed, so I think they really had to do it or close the entire pass. They're building bridges right now, and I suspect they will pave...

Hi All, I continued to explore Lesotho, finding a ton of great wild camp spots: Then I got the Jeep to probably the highest it will be on the continent (10,630ft.) Which I thought was a good excuse for a beer at the highest pub in Africa: You can read more about all of that here...

Cheers Christian, I appreciate it! -Dan

Location? KMs?

Wow, sounds like I should get some airbags - my side to side roll is wild sometimes. -Dan
