Interesting that the article fails to call this form of travel for what it is: overlanding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlanding

Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal.

Anyone else having random scroll issues on Android phones with this article? It's just jumping around randomly once I got a little further down.

His car did 800,000+ km with the same engine and transmission? That's possible?!

My understanding that it is the old G-class which is slightly civilized, if any, of the German military jeep. Like these old Land Rovers we watch in old documentaries, only even more sturdy.

By the way the car has "300 GD" visible on the photo - inline non-turbo diesel. 1M km isn't unheard of for it.

This has a claim of 1.9 million km in a 2006 Silverado with original engine and transmission. [1] Honestly I'm less surprised about an engine going that distance than the transmission, it has so many moving parts.
