  1. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    So traveling through Africa is MUCH different from Latin America. For the US based traveler, driving through Latin American countries is pretty simple. You get to a border, show your paperwork for you and your vehicle. They give you a stamp in your passport and a document for your vehicle called...
  2. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    Haha! Being a retired LEO I miss having my sidearm like a guy misses his wallet when he left it behind on accident. That feeling of not having my weapon on me never stops. With that said I really appreciate this community being there for me and my family and for being a resource when I'm having...
  3. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    We can't wait to do Australia! Good on you for that! I'm jealous! Thank you for the well-wishes. It is interesting that you said, "no one can ever take away from us" So much yes to this. It is EXACTLY what I told our then 8 year old son when we were standing in front of the Ushuaia sign at...
  4. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    Why oh why are we going to Africa? Or why oh why did I accidentally post the same photo multiple times? If its the former, because its there and I've never been. If it's the latter, because I'm a dolt and not very good at this forum stuff. 🤣
  5. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    We do. You can find us as Hourless Life on Instagram, YouTube, (and Patreon if you want to go behind the scenes with us and hear all the stories). Thanks for asking.
  6. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    I sure hope so. The beauty of container shipping is that the container is sealed and the port and shipping company are liable and responsible once it is in the sealed container. So the seal on the container won't be broken until I'm standing on the port in front of the box. We intentionally...
  7. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    I appreciate the well-wishes. In all fairness to your comment about safety, there are a lot of places in the United States that I would not recommend anyone go let alone with a spouse and a kid. lol. Obviously I keep my eyes on as much as I can my friend. I do my due diligence and make the...
  8. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    Great question. They want it clean but not New Zealand or Australia level clean from what I understand. I guess we'll really know when we pick him up. The Jeep was washed before he went in the container. Hopefully we're good to go on that end. If not there are port services as you know that will...
  9. We are driving around the world in our Jeep Gladiator we call DAUNTLESS

    Eddie! I hadn't put it together that you were the Eddie on our Patreon! Thanks for that. I just posted about our load out here in the forum. Patreon has the full story. But no, we are taking DAUNTLESS. We just had him loaded into a container today! ~ Eric
  10. Our Jeep Gladiator Is Heading to Africa. Ask Me Anything.

    Today is surreal for us, and I wanted to share a little bit about the process for the community. TL;DR we're driving around the world, just finished 3 years 4 months driving through Latin America, and our Jeep is being shipped without us present from Montevideo, Uruguay to Cape Town, South...
  11. We are driving around the world in our Jeep Gladiator we call DAUNTLESS

    4000 kilometers through Argentina. Our longest drive ever. We were exhausted and burnt out. But having reached the bottom of the world we needed to turn around and head back north. It's all part of the journey. In this video you can see our exhaustion and the uncertainty of what lies ahead for...
  12. We are driving around the world in our Jeep Gladiator we call DAUNTLESS

    Our final night at camp before our vacation!! Y’all were so excited! People often think we are constantly on vacation because we travel full-time. They think we are just out there living a care free and easy life. This is not true. Think about it this way. We’re on our 12th year of full-time...
  13. We made it to the bottom of the WORLD!

    Thanks so much Kevin! We've run into so many people in so many different countries who have never visited some of the most beautiful areas of their own country that is less than 5 hours away. Same thing in our own country where many folks we meet have never seen parts of their own state that are...
  14. Potential Meetups Around the USA? (September - December 2025)

    This Saturday we'll be at Cruiserfest in the Salt Lake City area from 10-3 (which features the first vehicle ever to drive on all 7 continents) and then we're going to the showing of the Greenland film premiere with the Q&A afterwards with Scott Brady of Overland International and Clay Croft of...
  15. Potential Meetups Around the USA? (September - December 2025)

    Hey everyone! This is Eric from Hourless Life. Many of you have followed our drive around the world on our thread here at https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/we-are-driving-around-the-world-in-our-jeep-gladiator-we-call-dauntless.46927/ We are leaving Mexico tomorrow and flying...
  16. We made it to the bottom of the WORLD!

    Man I hope Caspian never goes that dark, but I will say that if he was in the Men In Black movie, he'd be the little kid carrying the astrophysics book lol.
  17. We made it to the bottom of the WORLD!

    Figmo, let me just say that if this is a dream of yours, do it. We actually have an Hourless Life shirt that says, "Ignore the fearmongers" The reality is that bad things do happen...all over the world. There are more carjackings in the city of Chicago on an annual basis than there are in the...
  18. We are driving around the world in our Jeep Gladiator we call DAUNTLESS

    It is still surreal to us that we drove to Patagonia in our Jeep Gladiator as a family. On our way back up the South American continent, we drove to a glacier and saw one of the most amazing natural spectacles on earth, the calving of a glacier. AND we caught it on camera! This is a moment we'll...
  19. We made it to the bottom of the WORLD!

    Considering he already calls himself a polyglot.. his vocabulary scares me more than his ability to learn languages, He's either going to be one of the coolest kids around, or one of the most dangerous lol.
  20. We made it to the bottom of the WORLD!

    Thanks and same to you! We've heard so much about overlanding and camping in New Zealand. It seems so remote to get there and so beautiful! Funny how we can be doing what we're doing and STILL be jealous (in a good way) of what someone else is doing. That's the wanderlust. Thanks for commenting...
