From the time I was a freshman in college, I drove OLD beaters. My college was two hours from where I grew up. I broke down too many times to count, in the dark in a Sunday night with nothing but frozen corn field for miles in sub zero Minnesota winters. My poor mother would go crazy, my father could have cared less, unless he had to pay. It was a Ford Falcon. Later recalled! I have been terrified of car troubles ever since. My deepest sympathy. I’m sure you’re fine and you’re together! I am always so touched by the pure kindness of strangers when you are in a bad pinch. How kind of them 💕 I’m 73 now and never gotten over it, even in a new car. Awwwww, Lando! Dan loves him so much!!

Glad to see you folks benefitted from the kindness of the people of Sheridan and got back on the road. I just sigh when I hear people complain abut the quality of Jeeps whenever one breaks. The fact is that Jeeps get used harder by more people. They get loaded up and rode hard. Guess what? When you do that a lot things will break. It doesn't matter what make or build - things will break if they are used enough. Stay safe. ~dale ('21 JT).

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, read through several comments and didn't see any. Your fuel pump is electric, it uses fuel in the tank to keep the electric pump cool. Do not let you fuel tank run below a quarter tank unless you have to. I was going threw fuel pumps anout every 3 to 4 years, someone gave me this advise and its been 8 years since my last fuel pump replacement. My truck turned 24 years old in May. Keep up the great job on the videos, watch you guys every Sunday.

Last year while traveling the Trans America Trail I had to limp Becky into the town of Gunnison, Colorado. They were so nice to me. They pulled me right in the shop, found the parts I needed, went and got them and had me back on the trail in a few hours. Great video! Happy trails!

A wicked day for you. The landscape is very beautiful. I used to go to Colorado and Oklahoma a lot. In the nineties I was on the road professionally to Kiev, Budapest, etc.. In the week over 5000 kilometers, were possible. I drove at that time a Toyota Landcuiser HDJ80, 4.2 liters and 165 hp. Turbo diesel 6 cylinder. So that it could come to no problems, the tank system was rebuilt with additional tank and equalization lines. With 165 liters of diesel and 2 canisters with 20 liters of diesel each, I was able to drive 2000 kilometers in summer, in winter with the other tires, it was about 1500 km. Any other pumping actions, are too dangerous, via an intake pump it must work and not via an intermediate station. Stay healthy and take care of yourselves. Greetings from Frankfurt.

That field craft first aid setup is a great kit for quick deployment. I took their empty behind the seat kit and built what I think is a pretty comprehensive first response kit, especially for the size. If you guy's would ever like to see what I stocked it with, I'd be more than happy to share. The thing I run into with the pre-built kits is that they tend to opt for very specific components, when there are options where one component can actually serve multiple uses. Knowing this can help keep bulk down and saves a little bit of money too.

Hello dear Ones, tell me something about coincidences again... This afternoon I had to think of a company that I really enjoyed working for over 10 years, during my professional life. The company is called HACH-Company and manufactures analysis devices for water and waste water analysis. And tonight I watched the last episode of your trip to the Expo. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw where you guys are, in Loveland, Colorado! And do you know where this company, the Hach Company, is headquartered? That's right, in Loveland, Colorado... OMG, what a synchronicity! I visited Loveland and the company in Loveland in 1992 and know the Loveland area quite well. This is almost impossible to explain by coincidence... However, I wish you a lot of fun there, all the best and love on your further journey, many greetings, yours, Wolfgang.
