Our last 2 big trips were Canyonlands/Maze (including the rugged Dolls House) and KOFA. By necessity or scheduling efficiency, both have involved combining the expedition trip with interstate travel to CA (even though we live in AZ, but those scheduling oddities are another story). On the way to CA this most recent trip, I heard a radio profile of the "personal valuation skewing" theory, where we tend to ascribe a greater than market value to that which we have. At the risk of doing the same, I also had the thought about how the LR3 really minimizes the tradeoff for comfortable highway driving while being a beast on the trail. I really think it would be hard to beat for cruising the interstate at 75 mph in standard height, then hitting the trail and hanging the ax and shovel on the rack and putting h20 jerry can, firewood, and garbage bin on top, changing height to "off-road" and having a expedition adventure.
My wife and I laugh because so many jeep drivers we see going the other way on a trail invariably - well maybe 50% of the time - see the LR3 and think soccer mom or something, and feel compelled to warn us" "the trail is pretty rough that way."
Anyhow, this forum might be interested in the trip report from our recent KOFA trip (with link to album):
