On this next episode of Tech Net we catch up with Dan Grec, an Engineer by trade and a Jeeper by heart, with a major passion for travel and adventure. But, just exactly how did Dan know that “The Road Chose Me” and decide to embark on the ultimate overlanding journey of a lifetime.
In 2009, he sold all his stuff, quit his job, and loaded up his gray Jeep Wrangler for 22 months along a 40,000-mile route that took him from the tip of North America to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina — the tip of South America.
And a little over a year ago, he concluded a 54,000-mile journey in a different Jeep, a 2011 Wrangler Rubicon. That Jeep was customized to hold a pop-up tent/bed and a kitchen, but the engine, drive-train, and other components were left all factory. That Jeep took him around the continent of Africa. He started in Morocco and three years and 35 countries later rolled into Cairo, Egypt.
Just how did Dan do it, how did he get started and what was the most interesting thing he saw along his journey? Join Mike and Alan LIVE this Thursday evening to learn all about it. Dan will talk with us about his love for overlanding and his background with Jeeps. Maybe he’ll even let us in what in store for his next adventure.
That and lots more along with your questions LIVE on Facebook video and interactive through the comments section. Dan has offered to give away an Africa Picture Book, a patch, and some stickers for those who join us LIVE.
