I'm happy to hear production is increasing! Keep up the great work, and as usual, any photos that people want to post are greatly appreciated :) -Dan

The early 90's was 20 years ago, at which time places like El Salvador and Honduras were off-limits, but they're fine now. -Dan

I did many, many overnight hikes away from the Jeep. I always found somewhere to leave it, usually paying a dollar or two per day to lock it in someones compound. The highlight was without doubt the Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit in Peru It's 140km, 9 mountain passes for a total climb of just...

I couldn't agree more. I heard of Overlanders that had snapped the frame in their 70's series Troopy, and I traveled with a couple that had blown out multiple shocks on their 110. I had less stuff in my TJ than quite a few of the motorbike guys I met along the way. I honestly think one of the...

Awesome toe hear you enjoyed Sloquet I love that place, and a few others on that road. Good luck with the repairs. -Dan

Do you have first-hand experience or reports from Overlanders that have had bad things happen in Africa? -Dan

Any engine codes?

Which was heavier? By how much do you think? Quadratec says the 17 steel winter wheels are 42 lbs each. -Dan

Do you think it would be rigid enough? i.e. I think it would be very bad for handling if it flexed during cornering, etc. Are any other manufacturers making significant parts of a car from plastic? -Dan

There are some spectacular remote hotsprings on that route if you have any interest. You can camp at them, soak long into the night, etc. Pickup the book "Hotsprings of Western Canada" by Glenn Woodsworth if you're interested. Have fun! -Dan

Interesting, thanks. I wonder if there is a build thread or more details somewhere. I'd be interested in how it drives, mileage, etc. -Dan

I didn't know anyone had successfully put the CRD 3.0 into the JK... Does anyone have a build thread or details on that? Thanks, -Dan

Thanks again for the awesome photos. Anytime you ever want to post them, I'll happily drool :) A quick height question - When you stand up in the "hatch" how much space is above your head? What about when you sit on the lip of the hatch, sitting over the drivers seat facing the rear of the...

Are you implying it needs changes? what? (Genuinely curious) -Dan

Awesome! I love that you guys are keeping it simple and just hitting the road. Keep it up. -Dan

I dream of driving that road before the new one is built... I better hurry up :) -Dan

Hey Scott, Can you please post up the details of the diesel conversion you've mentioned a few times. What are the goals of the conversion? What engine are you going with? What transmission? Are you doing it yourself, or having a shop do it? Anything else you'd like to share.. Thanks! -Dan

Nice pics buddy, sorry to hear about the oil pan. If you've got a spare seat in the Jeep, I'd love to come with you next time you head out someplace like that. Have a great drive down to BC!, take some pics. I'm 332 4612 -Dan

Very interesting discussion. I don't have any knowledge, but I very much hope they don't ditch the standard transmission or the 2-door. I agree with Scott that the Wrangler will be very different by 2025. -Dan

Excellent post dwh. To summarize, in case it's not clear, cooking with an electric grill with a 12v setup is not really feasible. It's just too much power to cook with electricity. Bring some kind of propane/alcohol/white gas/gasoline/diesel stove for your cooking needs. -Dan
