Looks like you can follow him on a variety of social media platforms. Based on the FaceBook he's in England with the Jeep. Enjoying $6USD/Gallon gasoline.

dumbass is dead already. he just doesnt know it yet.
Guys with Africa experience -
Which of those countries is MOST hospitable? I met a couple guys from Namibia who portrayed it as being pretty welcoming; of course they were in the safari biz - so there' that.
Not necessarily the most modern (South Africa?), but the most hospitable/safest???

I would say going to Cape Town is probably your best bet as an American for hospitality.
The more touristy areas are going to be more welcome to tourists because they know where their money comes from. So places where there are lots of Safaris.
The places you want to visit in Africa are going to be few and far between.

Gotta love that ingenuity. This video is more entertaining than all the episodes of ice road truckers put together.

and a link to the pictures of the modded Jeep and a short description of what he's done to it. http://imgur.com/a/OLK3o
While certainly cool, he plans on doing this unarmed and with no escort. My question is, how long into his trip until he's murdered in his sleep or carjacked at gunpoint?
Here's the route he plans on taking.
This map shows all the atrocities in the history of Africa, the atrocities are designated by a red dot.
His drinking water tank holds a grand total of 7.9 gallons of water. Where did he place it? right between the exhaust and the driveshaft.
That's pretty brilliant.
And I am pretty sure that if I was driving across Africa, I would want a lot more than 8 gallons of water with me.

Not even visiting Lesotho. For some odd reason Lesotho has aways fascinated me.
Using your water source as a skid plate. Brilliant!

It's not true.
Not nearly enough dots.
He plans to stick to the highways, so not an issue.
At least he used Dynamat, the Yeti of hot rod insulations.
I think as long as he has maximum LED light bar coverage paired with a Yeti and a Salt Life sticker, he'll probably be ok.
Rockstar rims wouldn't hurt either.

Reality is going to sex him right in the face hole.
Considering some of his countries are big into male on male gang rape and object rape, this may be a legit means of his demise.
quote:someone already made the skidplate joke, but this one picture is all you have to know about this guy to know he is a moron and won't make it. that toysrus grade cheap ass jc whitney water tank wrapped in hot rod insulation is supposed to go off road, make escapes, withstand rocks, or a broken u joint, or not melt against the exhaust? get ****ing real. hell, with 8 gallons in it that will weigh over 60 pounds and the first big jolt without straps under it it will either bow down or flat rip right out of the floorboard.

JOKE!
He did make his own sheet metal to protect it, bit it will still get destroyed. Plus the water is going to be hotter than hell.

How the F would you know all THAT???
Maybe he is a coffee and hot tea kind of chap!
I'm a professional at finding random crap on the internet....oh that sounds bad in regards to my previous comment. Actually a couple months ago I was reading about Serbian war crimes, which lead to sex as a weapon of war, which lead to some UN report on the sex attrocities of war.....remember, I am a night owl, I read a lot.

watched that vice guide to liberia several years ago and just gave it a re-watch thinking i would be somewhat desensitized since i'd seen it before...nope.
I've been on this board a while now. Based on the initial interest shown 4 pages in before the trip has even started, I'd say this thread has the potential to rank in the top 10 threads of all time on the OB. That's assuming this guy really goes through with the trip and lives more than a week and we can follow his antics. Don't think it will make Doss or mfbarnes status, but certainly thread of the summer potential here. Watchlisted and saved.

I still can't believe to this day that I started the workshop thread that ousted mfbarnes. My wife was having a baby at the time and every chance I got I check the thread. It's just kept getting bigger and more out of hand than I could imagine.

I know brosef, I nominated you for free premium membership for life for that thread. Did TexAgs staff deliver? Well, even if not, you can walk around here with your head held high and chest out to the sky. You're a legend. I bought that guy's schtick hook line and sinker on one of his long range rifle threads. He had me fooled.
BTW, when are you having another baby? Be sure to TexAgs again for good luck.

Haha staff never abliged with a free premium. But come early November we have boy #2 due, so I'm hoping for more OB legend.

His outing started on the Auto board when he was pretending to have a barn find. It snowballed from there, which is when people started looking up his posts on Outdoors and elsewhere to see what else he lied about.

Ya I remember. Truly TexAgs legendary story.
We know dude is already in the UK... Anyone stalk his FB for a departure date in Africa?
Congrats man! We've got a 5 yr old and a 2 year old. One of each, it's the best. Completely life changing and exhausting, but the best. Can't imagine my life without them now.
Ok, sorry to derail. Now back to trying to predict how brutally this guy is going to meet his demise. Been a lot of talk somfsr about rebels and warlords. But seriously that continent is huge. I think he's equally at risk from breaking down in the middle of nowhere in that toy and dying of thirst or exposure to the elements. I put my money on them finding him 50 miiles in to some desert, broken down, dead from dehydration and sun blindness, with the hyenas carrying off what's left to feed their pups. But hey, he's got his own logo and a "catchy" slogan, so there's that to leave behind as a legacy for future generations.

Thanks bud it going to a crazy next few years. If these two boys were anything like me and my two younger brothers it'll probably be hell and heaven haha.
But back to the jeeping dummy. I still say we take bets on what country or location he fails in/at.
