Dana 30 in JKs is not the same old Dana 30 which is very common, JK's one is the next gen heavy duty axle.

Hey Everyone,
I've had a challenging few months, and I'm more than overdue to give you all an update.
All the details of what happened and the path forward to Africa are in today's issue of JPFreek Adventure Magazine
I feel extremely lucky to be supported by new friends and family, without their support I don't think I would have found a way forward.
Tons of details in the coming days and weeks,

Thanks everyone for the support!
Nice! I should be into Morocco in May or early June, and will spend roughly 1 year heading South on the West Coast, then roughly one year heading North on the East.
I'm going without a Carnet, and it sounds like Kenya might be the only country I won't be able to get into. We'll see.

Great work Dan. Thanks for the update link
Quick question, though. I C&P'd this from your latest update: "Now that I’m running a gas engine, mileage and range are more of a consideration. "
What happened to the OM606? I also see the diesel fuel sticker by the filler neck is gone. Wha' happen?
Edit - nevermind - just found the link to the article with the details. My condolences, man. But I am glad to see the trip is not derailed!
