When I made the same switch I also immediately noticed they are hugely quieter on highway. I have been extremely impressed with the KO2s. -Dan

Given this engine is in production vehicles now, I'd be shocked if it won't meet newer EPA regulations than that. Just my guess though. -Dan

Awesome, thanks for the info! As Yukoners say, if I don't do stuff while it's cold and/or raining, you'll never do anything! -Dan

Merry Christmas all! I made my way to Maliville in the far North of Guinea on the worst roads yet! Read the full story here: http://theroadchoseme.com/maliville -Dan

I made mine, it's extremely easy. I think anyone can handle it. Details here: http://theroadchoseme.com/diy-jeep-wrangler-jk-isolated-dual-batteries -Dan

Nice. I camped right at the end of that "road" in front of your hood, and in the morning I walked across the river then hiked to the top of the mountain that was directly in front of your hood. Beautiful, beautiful scenery :) -Dan

Nice Trip, A quick question, when you made it into Smith River Airfield, how close to the lake up there did you get ? (Sorry, forget name right now) and do you know how close to the Yukon border you made it? I have not explored in there, though it's on my list, eventually. Thanks! -Dan

Hey All, I'm exploring the North of Guinea and absolutely loving it. Small jungle tracks that lead to massive waterfalls are becoming my favorite thing! Read more here: http://theroadchoseme.com/northern-guinea -Dan

With the AEV 2.5 and Geo Brackets the concensus is the JKU drives better than stock... so I think something is out of whack with yours. I'd get all the wheels balanced, then do a wheel alignment. If it still wanders on the highway, I would put it on level ground, loosen all the suspension...

Absolutely. A couple of these borders I have been thinking to myself it would be a thousand times harder if I didn't have that experience behind me. -- I have driven into Guinea, African country number 6 ! I'm excited to see mountains right off the bat. This is going to be great! Read...

I have slept the majority of my 6 months in the J30 with the ventilation panels wide open so it's only flyscreen. Because my head is at that end, everything "behind" and "beside" my eye line is sky and stars. It's awesome star viewing how it is. I hope to find somewhere eventually with no...

Legal to import into Canada. Just saying :) -Dan

Thanks again so much. I'm looking to accelerate this plan and get it ASAP. One more favor please - can you measure the mechanical fan and tell me the radius? i.e. length from the center of the clutch out to the end of the blades? If I can't get the parts sent to me for a reasonable price, I'm...

I thought long and hard about an aux tank for the JKU. I chose to put a custom water tank, pump and filtration setup under the Jeep in the place a long ranger would normally fit. For extra gas I went with a Titan Transfer Tank - it's much, much cheaper, and holds about 14 gallons. With it, I...

Ian, Congrats on making the leap and going for it. I just gave your instagram a follow, I'm @theroadchoseme Let me know if you have any questions about Latin America - it was a few years ago, though I did basically every country over 2 years (skipped brazil, venezuela, and the little ones in...

Thanks! I'm an electronics / software guy, so I always have a multimeter around, even at home. Yep. For me it's always slow down, drink a bunch of cold water, maybe start eating something, and think it through for a while. Think about what it might be, what tools I have, and how I can verify...

Hey Jeepers, I have finally written up an article on the Recovery Gear, Tools and Spares I am carrying for two years around Africa. Find the article at JPFREEK.COM here: http://jpfreek.com/2016/11/01/recovery-tools-spares-two-years-in-africa/ What would you bring that I don't have? What would...

My understanding (could be wrong) is the Nemesis try is designed specifically for the Optima D34s. You're right they are 55aH - I have a Dometic CFX-35 fridge, interior lighting, water pump and UV lamp (which are almost 100W combined), laptop and electronics chargers, etc. etc. Over one night...

Hey guys, Here's how Gambia looked in video format! -Dan

I have dual Optima D34s sitting in a Nemesis dual tray, isolated with a basic but durable solenoid from Painless Performance. It's all simple, and it works exceptionally well. Right now it's all caked in mud, working flawlessly. Simple is best. -Dan
