You can go anywhere you like! How long have you got? You may be able to get sponsorship for parts but im sure you allready have all the kit you need at your disposal.

fuel
water
cooking equipement
tents
recovery equipment

that should be all you need to carry.

4 weeks - north Africa?
8 weeks - the Stans? Arctic highway?
Longer - Mongolia, west africa, Russia

The world is your Lobster. If you are going in Mil attire though, I suggest researching the countries as some countries in West Africa for example will get twitchy with British mil vehicles passing through full of squaddies!

More of a european excursion planned then?

If you want wild and remote 3 weeks should be able to get you to the Croatian Alps or parts of Transylvania that are accessable to 4x4 and will provide a challenge.

Good luck.

Make it 4 and a bit weeks then you can do Mongolia and back (going back the quick route back through Russia of course) . Quite likely to be my next trip.
