Hi Everyone,
My name is Dan Grec, I previously drove my Jeep Wrangler from Alaska to Argentina
(Beyond.ca thread here )
After that adventure I sold my little Jeep and have been living and working in Whitehorse, Yukon. I've been saving and dreaming for those years of my next adventure.
Two years circumnavigating the African continent in my new, 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
The announcement and my thoughts are on my site here: http://theroadchoseme.com/new-jeep-new-adventure-africa
I learned a lot during my two years on the Pan American Highway - I learned about where I want to go, and what kind of vehicle I want to do it in.
With that in mind, I'm building my Jeep into a self-contained house on wheels.
I started with the interior - turning into a fully camperised rig:
All the details and progress shots of that are here:

I also decided I want a diesel engine for this adventure, and the custom conversion to a Mercedes 3.0 Turbo Diesel is almost complete
Details and progress shots of that and all the other work I've been doing to the Jeep can be found at http://theroadchoseme.com/jk-mercede...rsion-progress and http://theroadchoseme.com/jeep-build-progress-again
In a couple of weeks I'm heading down to California to finish the Jeep build, then I'll get to the East Coast, ship the Jeep to Europe and drive down into Morocco in late December.
If there is interest here, I'll keep posting the progress of the Jeep build, and the actual adventure. Feel free to ask any questions you have, I really want to help other people get out there an live their dreams!
-Dan
