Overlanding Europe In Our Jeep XJ / Sweden

Big Thanks to Ruff Stuff for the support! Below are the mods I use from them.

In our last episode we were heading North East away from Norway across the border into Sweden. In this episode we begin our journey North through Sweden toward a small town called Asele that we visited back in 2016. We have been living in the Jeep for four months and our setup is running like clockwork. Hopefully we can find somewhere to rent temporarily in Sweden which we discover if living here permanently is a real possibility.

Really glad I watched your Norway travels. Great ambience, spectacular scenery, silly jokes, banter, songs and couple warmth 👍🏼

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Thanks for watching the journey! It was a pretty special time of our life and we would love to do something similar again one day. Perhaps with our little boy next time!

Hi Mike and Megan. I just finished watching episode 9 from your 2018-series. Last week I have watched your solo winter-series 2022 and 2023 and asked myself how you got to Sweden and how your wife would be. I liked watching your solo-series for hours without getting bored from your "monotone voice" 🤣And these 2018-episodes with the two of you are even better. The story about your proposal came from the heart and grabbed me. I hope to find more episodes about your live in Sweden. Have a good 2024 🙂

I'm Shane from America and very glad to have found your channel this was an enjoyable series to watch I hated to see it come to end l!! Best of luck and GOD BLESS YOU GUYS. I'll tune in to your other channel.

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Thanks for watching Shane! Appreciate the comment.

[@Reegan86]

Haha The Predator is one of my favorite movies and I have owned a XJ 4.0 while I lived in Lapland Sweden. Great content and please keep em coming. Both vehicle customizing and Predator references🤓👍

[@robertbelt5515]

Living The Dream, I've started watching some of your previous videos for the 2nd time, I followed your 1st videos when you were building the Cherokee then watched you & Megan travel across Europe, not many women would just take off on a journey that most every outdoorsman dreams of doing, she is a real sport, you met your soulmate when you two found each other, good luck in the future and I wish all the best for the both of you, looking forward to seeing some more camping trips in the Cherokee ✌🏼️🇺🇸

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Thanks for watching and for the comment. Megan's certainly a trooper when it comes to the outdoors, it was great to be able to share the dream I had with her. She seemed to embrace it. Maybe we can do it again one day but I think smaller adventures in the meantime! Thanks again from the both of us!

[@randyanderson6110]

I share your passion for the Xj. Which is how I found your videos. I watched the whole series and yes I did enjoy it to the fullest. Love your poetic mimute by minute detailed description of your entire trip. I would bet that if the television networks could see these videos they would hire you for documentaries. Very much looking forward to much more. PS Love Megan's cooking. I can only imagine the taste. Can she privide recipes?

[@ezhik01]

The quality of prose associated with this Jeep, and the culture in general, is so refreshing. No surprise-that across the pond, these endeavors are executed and spoken of so elegantly! Wonderful content, and highly-motivating in creating a similar exploration series for the California Coast/Mountains.

[@OneLifeOverland]

Made it to the end. Great series. Really enjoyed that. Thank you both for putting it together.

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Thanks for watching it all mate!!

[@chrisjohnston9606]

I really like your documentary style. It’s nice to not have royalty free music montages every 2 minutes. Really hoping your channel takes off and is shared with the masses.

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Thanks for watching and for the great comment. Glad you like the videos!

[@Rufusthehound]

I’m all caught up to date. Fantastic video diary and narration. Could write and publish a book about your epic adventures.

[@lbcustomknives]

Love that car mate. What a beauty. Take care brother

[@tomd1939]

The pylons of time also helped you upload this video, lol

[@Nordorch53]

The voice is very nice

[@slightlyoperational1023]

Awesome XJ setup and amazing scenery. Loved the video!

[@gioiellofi]

ALL WONDERFUL HELLO BROTHER GOOD LUCK ....THANKS

[@josephforan7403]

So great to watch your videos ....hope to see the next installments

[@zx5gurl1971]

Excellent series! Love your Xj. We have one too.

[@jlr0799]

[@TalalAlSa3ad]

God bless you man! Keep this work up 🤙🏼😍

[@roundlake96]

[@misterlong7293]

jeep ile kamp yapmak harika birşey. iyi eğlenceler dilerim kardeşim

[@caseygroves3046]

Absolutely love your channel. Question: what brand is your roof platform rack? I was thinking of building a custom one for my rooftop tent, but yours looks fantastic.

[@jezusxj8356]

Lol I'm only watching again on this this channel to see if you've edited out mike's solo 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙌👌👊🍻👍

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

Sadly its glass breaking singing skills are in this also. Got some offroad content coming up on here soon which won't be on the MCQ channel.

[@jezusxj8356]

@@WorkshoptoWilderness "it's" voice !!! lol..... I got your back Mike:;:;: XJ brother😂😂

[@0521carlos]

👍👍

[@ninja63639]

A little off topic but what front bumper are you running?

[@WorkshoptoWilderness]

I picked it up off of ebay UK. A guy makes them in the UK for around £325. Its a good bumper, 6mm and 4mm steel. www.ebay.co.uk/usr/benek-36 That's the guy. If you check his shop from time to time he makes them in batches of ten,
