Giant waves and Mexican Cartels are the only things i see as a potential hazard, I say go for it Amphibear! Make sure you have plenty of Pringles :]

This is very awesome, I'm surprised Jalopnik doesn't seem to have covered it on the frontpage...

So many things to say!
1. good choice on the prado, but you you think its enough car for some of the roads you are looking at driving on? (Siberia is worrying in particular)
2. This looks HEAVY and wide, hopefully that wont be a problem
3. I hope your math is double what you think for loads on those sponsons, the ocean is less than forgiving.
4. Do you have a full time visa/customs fixer?
5. way to go!
So Many thing I want to ask!
