Having got a Jeep over the summer, I'm quite a bit away from doing an expedition like this. But what a fantastic trip....well done 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The big takeaway of course is that when Mr Musk gets us as far as Mars, he's gonna need to take a few Jeeps to get about. Outstanding and magnificent terrain. We'll done again 👍🏻
Great Video ,Long time Fan of Tintin et Milou,Living in Kenya in the Great Rift Valley, 6km south of the Equator .We don't have to drive far to do our off roading . Looking forward to part 2
Excellent adventure! A friend has a ex military Jeep from the 40s. What is the year and model of yours? Loved the convoy with all the Defenders. Interesting reversal of things; my wife’s daily driver and our weekend fun /adventure car is a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and I am doing a mechanical restoration on a 1966 Series2A Land Rover88”. I live 2 hours west of Yosemite National Park, and my goal is to make it safe and reliable to make that trip and back. The road is smooth and paved , however a brake failure would mean death!😳. Old Landys are not common here in the States and very rare here on the West coast. The nearest shop is more than 100 miles away , so I’m the mechanic.🥴 Cheers Part 2 will be interesting.👍
Hi the flat fender jeep used was a 1962 Hotchkiss M201, built under licence as a Willys Overland of France. Basically identical to the WW2 model except 24v electrics and cog driven timing (rather than a belt)
Hi - Had flu over Christmas, but feeling better now - I am working on a part 2 and even a three! (maybe a spin off part 4 about the jeep restoration and work/ preparation exclusively?) Hopefully have part 2 out in a week or so..
there is a book about 2 german students who took a willys jeep and a small caravan in the 60s and went 4 times from cape to cape. crossing the sahara too. Very interesting if you see which minimal ressources they used to archieve something what others are doing with bullet proofed expensive expedition vehicles.
Sorry, it’s a Landrover series, not the willys. But they wanted to take a willys at the beginning, However, the message and the adventure is the same. From north cape to Capetown and from Cape Horn to Alaska with a series 1 and a caravan. Crossing the Sahara as well as the jungle
Is that one of the garages in Zagora, which helped with the rear springs? Did a similar trip in 2016 with my son in our LR 109 S 3 (200TDi Swap), 1984. Heinz, Germany
Ha ha yes it's the Zagora garage. It was worth speaking french to them as it meant I could discuss the work (and the costs!) in detail.. Some of the other customers couldn't speak the lingo and ran up very steep bills
Brilliant. Doing what the Jeep was designed for (kind of!) well done.
Sooooo cool I have an rough 1942 Willy’s Mb, thanks for taking us along

What's the name?
As soon as I have access to the book I will send you a picture. It’s not available by amazon.
Google for: Frank Reinhold viermal ans Ende der Welt

Why not just grab the box out of the second Jeep ?
