Appreciate your concern and encouragement. Without risk there is no reward. We each get one shot around, and this is how we're taking ours.

We are getting ready to drive around the world in our Jeep Gladiator. We anticipate it will take 10-15 years. There is a bit of a story here, and I'll get to the build at the end. So if that's all you want to see, just skip on down there where you see the photo of our rig. But the reality is...

For the most part. Remember I don't have a mortgage, own a television or couch, lawn mower, have HOA fees, or property taxes etc. Also my wife and I created 5 business entities after I retired from service in 2010. We sold those as well which helped to make the trip a reality. Our entire story...

Some of you have asked me about the major upgrades on our build. Our entire build series can be found on YouTube here. But the highlights of the build are: Jeep Gladiator Sport S with Max Tow Package. 4.10 gears, automatic transmission, 1535 lb payload MOPAR 2" lift TeraFlex 3.5" rear coil...

Whoa! Another Caspian/en. Is that your real name? Don't think we've actually run across another Caspian. I'm half laughing about the weight question, because we're really interested in the total weight of the setup too. We started with the 2nd highest payload Gladiator you can get off the...

Thanks for following our journey. If we can ever be a resource for you, don't hesitate to ask, If we can be of help we will. If we don't have a clue, we'll let you know that too haha. ~ E

It has been a very long road to get here though. We have a video about our journey to get to this point on our YouTube called "The Long Game" it is our full story. One you kind of have to want to watch to get through the whole thing. But if you really want to know how we got to the point where...

Great question. So the answer is kind of long. But the short answer is no. No master plan for the order. Basically we have what we call "hard dates" so for example right now our hard dates are Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, CO at the end of August. RVE Summit in Montrose Colorado in...

We're impressed with the quality and the use of space that we were able to accomplish in a small 5' bed. But to be honest, we've been basically in 4 shops and have only spent two nights in it in between. So it is hard to give any sort of real world feedback on it yet. We are full-time...

So we added the Hellwig Rear Sway Bar and it really helps with body roll. As far as weight, not yet, but it is on our list of things to do. We have a few more small modifications we want to do, then we need to load it all up, including water tank, external fuel tank, gear, and fridge load out...

This is the video we did on our suspension. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can be a resource.

Hey! Thanks for watching the build series. Finally got it finished. Our next series will be an overlanding 101 but our style of it. We're pretty laid back.

Thank you all for the welcome. DAUNTLESS will be on display at Overland Expo Mountain West in the showcase area, and at Overland Expo West in the Goose Gear booth this year if anyone is attending. Would love to meet some other forum and JT owners there. I posted most of the build mods on the...

This is our rig. We call him DAUNTLESS. We're getting ready to drive this rig around the world on a 10-15 year journey.

@Dan Grec has been incredibly influential to us. He has been one of the main people we've relied on for our own preparations. Yes, Dan is the real deal when it comes to overlanding, and personally I can't wait to virtually follow his next epic journey around Australia.

Thank you JT. You were the first to greet us here. Appreciate that. Always a little apprehensive about making my first post.

Hello fellow overlanders, this is DAUNTLESS. The Jeep Gladiator we'll be driving around the world. We anticipate the journey will take 10-15 years. We'll see how he holds up. Our entire build series can be found on YouTube here. But the highlights of the build are: Jeep Gladiator Sport S with...

We are an American family of 3 driving around the world in a Jeep Gladiator we call DAUNTLESS. (Original post title and this post edited to reflect our current journey) We have been traveling full-time (owning no home or property) since February 2014, and our son Caspian joined the mix in...
