Definitely following along on your journey! Funny I was just talking to the wife trying to figure out how to budget for a longer trip. Maybe not 2 years but a few months would be nice! Then the next day I saw your post about your book explaining the financial side of it and will definitely be picking that up as I find it interesting and it would be nice to see maybe somethings that you don't expect to be an expense to see really what would need to be saved. Thanks for documenting all of this I can't wait to see the progress!

Dan, I just went to buy your book on Amazon. Please note that it is $2.99 but it gave me an automatic $2.99 credit so the book was sold to me for free. You may need to contact Amazon and have them fix the error. Also please let me know how I can pay for it. I am excited to read it. Thanks Aaron

I can't wait to see this adventure unfold!
Love the tire/wheel combo. I did something similar, with a 2" AEV lift and the KM2 tire in a similar size, for the same reasons. What I found, though, is that the traction is outstanding in all conditions and surfaces except ice. I was especially socked at how these tall and narrow tires do in sand, too.
Godspeed and thanks for letting us live this adventure through you! I offer prayers for safe travel!

Thanks so much for the offer though, that's extremely kind of you.
Let me know what you think of the book!

I'm looking forward to putting them to the test in sand

12,000 miles through the USA, Canada, Belgium, France and Spain has been an amazing preamble. Now it's time for AFRICA.
