Vehicle Preparation

We spent about two years slowly preparing for the expedition. This included long days modifying the vehicle's drive train, interior and exterior so it would withstand the grueling journey around the two American Continents. It also included long nights writing to potential sponsors and drinking beer while fantasizing about the expedition.
