I was lucky enough to be selected back in 2010 if I remember correctly. I had to bow out because EJS in 2010 taught me some lessons. I knew my rig was not Ultimate Adventure ready and I would only hinder others. Rick Pewe was understanding and was very grateful when I called him to notify him of my limitations. Don't be fooled by thinking just because you have an off road rig that this is a possibility. Any rig that is entered will need to be highway friendly and unique. While there is a bunch of JK's on the trip JK's are not one of the selected readers vehicles usually. The selected vehicle needs to be unique in some form and it will also be voted in to some degree. This trip is not for the faint of heart. You will loose sleep, the trip is a bit expensive, and you and your rig will be tested in every way, as well as the co driver. While the Ultimate Adventure is not usually on the interstates this is still a possibility. The trip is not scripted and does not run on a firm schedule. Plans are made up as the event continues. There will be problems that arise and the group will have to adapt and overcome. If this description sounds like something y'all are interested in then you will fit right in. If your personality requires more of a rigid schedule then you will be disappointed and frustrated. I believe there is a fella on this forum who went a year ago or so. He drove a Chevy Trailblazer if I remember correctly. I would love to go on this trip myself but, I would really like to build a different vehicle than what I currently have already. I don't want to discourage anyone so, please don't take it that way. I am just trying to explain the trip as well as I can. Please also understand that I have never been so take my ideas with a grain of salt. But, this is how the trip was explained to me by others and by Rick Pewe.
