back in the early 1990's i was able to see the Uptons in Lynnwood Washington to see a presentation of their travels. at that point i'm not sure if they had been through Africa yet. amazing couple and the truest extreme adventurists.

I was delighted to see this video. I have a Mahindra Thar Crde 4x4 based on CJ5 which resembles the Jeep in the video. I simply love the machine. There's a whole lot fun when you drive a CJ5.

Just saw the shovel strapped to the radiator support rods. Pretty cool. First time I have seen or heard of this Jeep/expedition. Oh yeah, I’m 6’7 with a ‘77 CJ5. Feel your pain.
