    The sand is softer in the Simpson and there's far less trees, plus the sand on Googs is way easier when it's wet. I was on Googs this time last year, thanks for the memories. 👍

    Good on ya Dan , What a Jeep thing :)
    Slightly envious and itching to get on the road, I’m about 3-4 months behind ya with my gladiator build. Been a long process. I’m in Cairns in FNQ.
    Been loving the channel dude, learnt heaps man, and have avoided some very expensive mistakes. I’m doing things bit differently as my needs are different , I live in the far north so wet season monsoons, flooded camps, crocodiles and Coastal Taipan require I am off the ground, I’ve gone AluCab Canopy Camper , but was actually inspired by your Ursa Minor Set Up 👍
    I love and value your thought process , given the miles and experience you have under your belt I’d be foolish not too ;)
    Love to know more about the petrol stove …
    Love to know more about the long range fuel tank (cus that’s where I’m at next) range brother :)
    Catch ya on the trail when ya up this way mate :)

    363 sand dunes? Nonsense! You are driving a sandy track with light slopes up and down. If you want to drive and surf the sand dunes, come visit the Sahara, for instance and learn.
