In 1978, Mark A. Smith and a team from Jeepers Jamboree embarked on the longest overland expedition to date, a full crossing of the Americas from Tierra del Fuego to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This included the Darien Gap, the nearly impenetrable jungle between Colombia and Panama. Edla (short for Expedicion de las Americas) is one of the five Jeep CJ-7s that completed the trip.
We recently acquired Edla from the original family, and will be performing a bumper-to-bumper restoration. We won’t be tampering with the beautiful rust, dents, and patina…our goal is to make her mechanically new while preserving her heritage. We hope you can come along for the ride-and don’t forget to hit the “subscribe” button to receive updates.

I just found this. I knew Mike and Kenny Arnold - ran track with Kenny and double dated. WOW! I've owned 11 jeeps - 8 soft tops - I have a 2017 with 24,000 miles on it .. I love jeeps. WOW!

I'm so excited to be able to see this! Hopefully one day I will be able to see one of the expedition CJs in person! Thank you for the effort and time you are putting into this Jeep. I'm not sure everyone realizes how special these CJs are! Keep up the good work on the channel!

Very impressive! And good on ya' for preserving this vital part of Jeep- and overlanding history. By the way, did it come with any of the ladders? I've tried forever to find details on the design of the Mark Smith Jeep ladder, either drawings or close-up photos, or any info, really. There's been nothing turned up on the internet that I can find.
@Gone_Gpn
@Gone_Gpn Год назад
This one arrived in Bogota too late to fabricate the roof rack, thus no ladders. Collard has take specs from one of the other EDLA Jeeps and might fabricate one.
