We are continuing our overlanding journey around the world in our Jeep Gladiator. Can you believe we drove from the USA to the cradle of the Incan Empire in Cusco, Peru? Sometimes it still hits us that we're all the way down here. In this video we'll take you all over Cusco and show you some...

Hi Tim. We're seriously happy to be a resource. Especially when it comes to education. Please let your wife know that she can reach out to Brittany directly through our Instagram as she's the one who manages that account. She loves talking about this topic. If we can be of any help, don't...

Hi Tim! So glad you and your family got to make that journey. Even if it was hard on the wallet, the memories are priceless. Even the hard ones. Thank you for your kind comment about reading our posts. We've made it to Cusco, Peru now the cradle of the Incan empire and the doorstep to Machu...

We are continuing our drive around the world in our Jeep Gladiator. Next Sunday if all goes well we will be visiting Machu Picchu. So we decided to post the next video in our overlanding adventure around the world today. In this video we visit Arequipa, Peru considered by many to be the...

Thanks so much Larry. Glad we were able to help inform your decision. Appreciate you following the adventure. Let me know if I can ever be a resource for. you, happy to help! ~ Eric

In the video I emptied the oil first, then replaced the filter while the drain plug was still open. This accomplishes the same. But yes, you don't want to seal the drain plug and then change the filter as that would retain dirty oil in the system.

Want to see what full-time international overlanding is really like? Check this out. We fly over the world famous Nazca Lines of Peru. Brittany and Caspian hike a massive sand dune overlooking an incredible desert oasis. We visit ancient aqueducts that were built around 500AD and are still...

We haven't. Though there have been several all around us. We're currently in an airbnb in a high rise in Cusco, Peru the doorstep to Machu Picchu so I'm hoping they don't happen while we're here. Not sure about the OSHA regulations on this construction lol. ~ Eric

I mention specifically the issue of not overtightening in the video. So many folks make that mistake.

That's the hope. That folks who are concerned about wrenching on their own vehicle either because they are new, or for some reason intimidated by the idea will see the simplicity of this maintenance, take the initiative and familiarize themselves with their rig a little more. It truly is an easy...

Completely agree with this. Especially a lifted one as you can just slide underneath. The issue is that many folks who are new to working on their own rigs and aren't familiar with wrenching on their vehicles are often intimidated by it, or think they'll mess up their rig if they do it...

Agreed. I just went to a local "ferreteria" in Arequipa, Peru. No real name brands, and if they are, they are often knock offs here just stamped with a name brand. Nonetheless they are still measured precisely and get the job done.

Nothing super fancy in there. It is pretty straight forward. Really for those that have never done it before or are curious about doing it on their own for the first time. The biggest thing in my opinion is to use the 24mm socket for the oil filter housing cap. Some people try and get by with...

No thunder stolen at all! What a beautiful family. The experiences your grandson is having are precious!

Hey Russ great questions. I'll try and tackle them one at a time: 1. We track our travel mileage via GAIA GPS and via the Garmin InReach Explorer + 2. Brittany, my much better half, keeps meticulous records (she may be a little OCD) and knows down to the penny how much fuel, where we bought...

This is really for anyone new to owning a JT that wants a quick video tutorial on changing out your own oil. It is really simple to do and there are two main benefits: 1. You get to know your JT better. 2. It can save you both time and money. In this short video I walk you through the...

Hey Tony, I totally get it. This full-time nomadic life isn't for everyone. Even a 6 month journey can be quite a challenge. Honestly, just like anything else, eventually you simply get "used to it" and it becomes a new "norm". Having said that, this journey around the world was actually my...

Paul thank you. Love getting to know who the folks are that have been following the adventure. Appreciate you letting me know. If you ever have any questions, I'm here actively on the forum and happy to address them. There have been challenges, but the adventure has definitely been worth the...

Bill, your comment here is more powerful than most will ever realize. Travel does change us. The world is NOT what we see through the filters of the internet or media. We do our best on our channel to share the TRUTH of what we are seeing and experiencing. Not sure if you've had an opportunity...

Hey Stan, I have been "retired" since 2010. But it took us 4 years after that to start traveling full-time, and another 4 years after that to start overlanding full-time., and another 3 years after that to start driving around the world. It has been an intentional journey to get here. But the...
