Amazing pics!
You don't happen to have an itinerary for the trip you did in the alps?
We're doing Sweden to Italy in June and crossing the mountain range is one of the things I look forward to the most.
Cheers,

Not really Sadly, but I am doing W Italy and Pyrenees in July I would reccomend crossing near Mt Blanc and coming into italy from the West as there are tons of actual offroad trails right there! Most of my trip was roads so am going to correct that with the month long trip!

I can't decide which is the most amazing thing here:
- The way you built your jeep to do just what you wanted it to do.
- Your excursions.
- Your photos of your excursions.

An entire month living out of the Jeep over 3k miles OFFROAD and over 6 in total for the trip. Crossed multiple ranges in the Alps, had the rig over 10k ft in altitude, didn't spend a single night in a hotel all wild camping and crossed from the East Coast of Spain to the West with an absolute minimal amount of pavement I have a stupid amount of photos from the trip but no words or photos could ever explain the trip. All the old cats around the squadron have been coming up stupid Jealous that I went and actually did it.. I think I have had 4-5 conversations with folks about how they wish they woulda done something like this when they were young. If your planning a trip I can't say go and do it already enough.. I am already prepping for Morocco and Iceland..
The Jeep performed FLAWLESSLY, had a few breakdowns with folks we ran into and made friends with along the way but I had not even the smallest of issues. QD sways were super nice to have and the lift was a dream to drive on. Need a Fridge, Awning, and Winch soon so those are next. Also ditching the Front Runner boxes in favor of sealed aluboxes as we had the Pelican on the roof the whole time for clothes.
