Hello IH8MUD Community,
I am writing to you from the heart of the Jordanian desert. My name is Ahmed, and I am finally launching a mission that has been years in the making: "26 Degrees Expedition".
The Mission:
I will be driving my Land Cruiser 70 Series across 3 continents and 26 countries. This is more than a road trip; it is a documentary project dedicated to exploring remote cultures, challenging terrains, and the legendary reliability of the Toyota Land Cruiser. From the red sands of Wadi Rum to the diverse landscapes of Africa and Europe, this journey aims to capture the spirit of true adventure.
The Rig:
The 70 Series is a legend in my country, but preparing one for a cross-continental journey is a different challenge. I am currently in the final stages of the build, focusing on long-range fuel capacity, self-sufficiency, and heavy-duty reliability. I believe this community is the best place to share the technical side of this build and receive feedback from the world's top LC experts.
Why I’m reaching out:
As you can imagine, the logistics, documentation gear, and international crossing fees for a project of this scale are immense. I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help turn this vision into a reality. If you share a passion for the Land Cruiser heritage and world exploration, I would be deeply honored by your support.
Support the Expedition here: https://gofund.me/bd3492bc9
I will be using this thread as a living log, posting high-quality photos of the build progress and the incredible landscapes I encounter along the way.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Best regards,
Ahmed | 26 Degrees Expedition
