Hi All, Tons of people have been asking why I choose to live in Canada. Why would I subject myself to these freezing temperatures and nasty weather when I could be sitting on the beach in Australia... ? It's a good question, and the topic of today's "Christmas Story" special video. Join me on...

I just drove my Right Hand Drive gas 3.6 Gladiator around Australia for a year, with the AEV snorkel. So that means the snorkel and pre-filter were on the drivers side, which might give some insight into what this will be like on the diesel. For sure I could see it from the drivers seat. It's...

Hi All, I've been extremely busy in the last few weeks, including driving the world's most remote road with my Dad (video on that is still in the works), driving back 6,500km, returning the Gladiator to mostly stock and now selling it! Here's a catch up: Part 3 of my review series where I...

Hi all, I'm feeling at a bit of a loose end now that Katie has flown back to Canada, so I caught up with Josh in his big Land Cruiser 78 Troopie and went out on a boys 4x4 trip for a few days! Josh took me to stunning coastlines, deep sand and unbelievable campsites along the South Western...

... I don't know specifically, though I assume it's the same as the stock tank. It has multiple breathers, and it adds a second evap cannister to deal with the extra fumes. -Dan

Thanks very much, I appreciate the kind words! -Dan

Hi all, The coastline of Western Australia is utterly breathtaking and includes some world-famous sights that have been a must visit for me for a couple of decades. Driving to the edge of the earth in such spectacular scenery is one of many highlights on this continent, and has to be seen to...

Hi All, Have you ever dreamed of driving around the world without shipping or flying your vehicle? All you have to do is drive a Jeep that is also a boat, which is exactly what Ben & Elinore Carlin did in their amphibious Jeep named "Half-Safe" Their journey and story is utterly mind-blowing...

Hi All, We've been exploring in and around the stunning Karijini National Park in the Pilbara region of remote Western Australia. The distances out here are staggering, and the long range fuel tank is getting a work out. From stunning red rocks to canyons, waterfalls, wild camps and crazy...

Thanks ! The tank I installed has been utterly flawless, and essential for the remote places I've been going around Australia. Fire away if anyone has questions. -Dan

Hi Everyone, We're moving along the coastline of Western Australia, and we recently spent time in the Pilbara region. This area is famous for bright red dirt, rock formations and extremely large distances and remoteness. As we found out, they were not kidding! We also tackle the longest river...

Hi Everyone, The Gibb River Road in Northern Western Australia might actually be the pinnacle of remote long-distance 4x4 travel. It certain is in the top five routes I've ever done in my life. With tons to see and do, this was an epic 8 day trip that we won't soon forget Join us as we take...

Hi All, Katie and I learned of a "Secret Spring" in a remote location with waterfalls, swimming and some cool 4x4ing required to get in there. This sounded like the perfect adventure for us, so we set out to see what was out there, and I filmed this episode about it. Locals have sworn me to...

Thanks for the kind words - and no, we still don't have a solid answer. It appears to be some kind of hybrid table/chair so you don't have to eat off the ground.. but it does a terrible job at both options.... so they're very useless. -Dan

Hi Everyone, The Top End of Australia was everything I always dreamed it would be - hot, remote & dusty. But it's also so much more! There are plenty of stunning waterfalls to explore, crocs to dodge and wild places to camp. This is the land of "Crocodile Dundee" from my memories and it...

Hi all, On this week's episode we're exploring the remote "Gulf Country" across the top of Australia. We find wild and remote hot springs, paddle in a stunning gorge, drive on plenty of dusty and corrugated remote roads and venture into what might be the most stunning rock formations I've ever...

Hi all, Driving the Old Tele Track with a rag tag team of adventurers was a whole lot of fun - not only did we make new friends and have a lot of laughs, we also got to compare vastly different vehicles. In the latest YouTube episode I showcase the vehicles we drove the Tele with, running...

That's awesome to hear, and thanks very much for the kind invite! The kitchen has been amazing, and there's no way we'd still be eating so well if we didn't have it! I aim to be at Overland Expo in Flagstaff next year, so I'll be close! -Dan

In Australia the only engine in the Gladiator is the 3.6 with the auto. No other choices. I'm impressed with the 8 speed, it's really growing on me. The mileage is the biggest drawback of the 3.6, I'm getting around 18mpg .. I wish it was 25. If I could have had the diesel, I probably would...
