    Greetings, this is Rev.Glen Horn from Pensacola,Fl. My wife and I have watched you guys for quite some time.
    I was give a dream that we met up with you during your travels; we put you up for the night. The Lord God had me pray over you son Peter to be healed and delivered from diabetes. I am agreeing with God’s Word that states in Isaiah 53 that “By Jesus’ Stripes (Pete)is healed! You are a blessing to all the world; you are an inspiration to those who have lost all hope. God is about to doing some radical things in your lives and step up events awaiting you. Daddy, you show much humbleness and compassionate to your blessed family and humanity. Carol, you display strength when it get tough. Your handsome distinguished boys are so blessed with strength, courage, compassion and much care. Caroline is moving forward at such unbelievable speed. Your beautiful children are such an inspiration to those contemplating suicide or such giving up! I see Pete full of peace, love and compassion; I see Daniel full of strength and authority. I see Caroline writing a auto-biography on the family, I see walking toward being a world historian. Never think Daddy that you failed your family; you have been an inspiration to them, you never gave up when times were tough. The devil seeks to steel, kill and destroy, but Jesus gave you and your precious family life and gave it more abundantly. On those days when things look bleak, read Psalms 139, it states just what God thinks personally about you!! It is sensational! God richly bless you and keep you, the Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26. We love you all. Stay in God’s Perfect Will daily and you won’t ever fail!!! Claim Isaiah 54:17 daily! Take care!🙏

    Sunday morning Tradition (addiction) ....Loving Pete's narration at the start and of course the transition to full time overlanding (simplified way of life) ....and how you came to your OVERLANDING steroid induced channel .....always go back to your time in Tofino (which is on my bucket list thats for sure!) Thank you for educating your community on so many topics and levels....the wanderlust in me just craves the idea of travelling more in retirement!!! Cheers, 1000 islands Canada!!

    This information of the way you prepare yourselves for your travels, is also important for those who are planning to do something similar as you. Great information, covering from emergency situations, camping and all other things to make the journey more enjoyable. In my case, just in my imagination, I'm traveling to those beautiful places sitting in the back seat next to Lando. 😊🐕I loved the videos when the kids were smaller and puppy Lando. Dear hearts, thank you again for letting us go with you via these amazing videos. God bless you all!!!!

    I have the Warn Winch, my winch has a steal cable. I would most definitely recommend testing it out often. I have used it once or twice. The one time I tried to use it this past winter? It didn't work. I aqm guessing that the batter needed to be replaced. And, my bumper had rusted out about 2 years ago. I brought it to the body shop to have it sanded and blasted down and reapplied my bumper coverage. Guess what, it's rusting out again. It kind of erks me for sure.

    Hi and thank you for this episode. If it’s at all possible I would love to see how you actually use the JXL while on trail when inside and closed up. How you get in, then how you close the Jeep up (back window and tailgate) for the night from inside, and then how you actually get up and down from the top to sleep and use actually use the lower inside area while the Jeep is closed up and then get out in the morning. Is it easy or difficult? You are the only JXL users I know of where I can see it in action.

    If you ever come to Atlantic Canada, I'd love to do a rig comparison. I have some tire advise, or statistics to share here for your build. I have been running Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's for two seasons in 295/70R-18 (34.5x12"). I just recently changed (same tire) to 255/85R-17 (34.5x10") and reduced my highway fuel consumption by 2.7L/100km! From 16.0 down to 13.3! Narrower really is better for travel.

    totally love everything about your videos but hoping you can elaborate on sleeping in the JXL-that is how much do you use the upper bed vs sleeping on the jeep floor. Thanks so much. Have been looking at them (myself and my dog) for a while trying to figure out space usage for comfort of sleeping, cooking quick meals in the camper on bad weather days. Looking forward toany feedback you can share... thanks again!

    Three questions I’d have:

    Do you have locking axle? I ask because you’ve been places that most seem to need them. If you haven’t, it would be a cost saver.
    What does this weigh fully loaded, extra fuel, etc.
