In 2011 I had the pleasure of hosting a couple from Europe on an around the world drive in their Y61 Patrol. These folks are from Norway and started their trip here in the USA. They went up to Alaska first and on their way south came by and stayed at my place for a couple days. I took them out off-roading at a local trail.

After this they continued on, driving through all of Mexico and Central America then shipping the truck to S. America, you can't drive through the Darien Gap, and they did all of S. America. From there they shipped the truck to Africa and drove it all the way back to Europe! Very cool folks, sweet truck and I was glad I got to meet and host them. Their entire trip can be found here, along with arriving at home and putting the truck back to stock.
BTW, the Patrol has the "dreaded" 3L TD, it gave them zero probs on the entire trip.
