An Australian...driving a Jeep around Africa...What A Life!!

I absolutely love the huge opening to the pop-up! All that open space is exactly how I think Jeep campers should work (versus the twin hatch opening). Thanks, stay safe well & blessed.

Awesome setup you have there, really love the filtration system idea.

HI Dan... would you recomend to do not put the "plastic cover" on the engine? for the overheating. I see you don't have it. Is it only cosmetic or there is an utility? And, did you change the alternator for a stonger one because of the secund fan? Thanks Jean (France)

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Hello J. You'll need to reach out to Dan via IG or his website. His page is linked in the description.

Your bed setup make so much more sense, and your best stove?

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Check out his channel for a video on stoves.

[@t.kahraba763]

Coleman fuel stove He basically says a gas stove is useless because propane and butane is sometimes impossible to find in some countries especially in remote areas where as fuel is available everywhere

[@ChevalNektosha]

And he did it in a Jeep

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

He also did his Pan-Am Highway trip in a stock 4cly 5-speed TJ.

I've been following a couple youtubers with the Ursa Minor RTT. Would you go with a different brand or are you completely happy with it?

[@EWOverland]

Hi, I am planing a trip from Egypt to Namibia by a 4x4 and I would like to have your advice about if it is save to pass through Sudan, Suth Sudan and Uganda or you advice different route

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

[@alphagrendel]

What year is the Wrangler?

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

It's an early one. He has the 3.8L V6. That's all I know. If you check out his channel he has more details about it.

[@carrdoug99]

What is the capacity of your water system?

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

IIRC it's 14 gallons. Check out his YT channel for details. He did a full rundown of his water system not too long ago.
