Thank you posting this on here. I feel like I am back on adv rather than the glamping reports on here. Glad you are recovering and I am looking forward to the next series of posts! Edited to add that I have never been in your position. I have done extended motorcycle overlanding on dual...

Nice find! Looks like a 900 pound weight savings. That is huge when considering a buildout!!

Certainly one of the more outside the box threads on here! You guys are challenging a lot of the technical aspects but what about the fact his wife is going along with this!!!!! Just curious, you chose no suspension for the bikes? Is that purely a weight and efficiency consideration?

Yep! They should have always kept a close to original base model instead of chasing the luxury suv crowd

It’s called a Cherokee and you are correct, they sell millions of them.

You have to remember the demographics on here. The best vehicle ever built was a 60s Land Cruiser with bias ply tires, leaf spring suspension, 3 speed transmission and 35 hp. Better than anything built today!

I believe the Murano was one of their first cvts. I also vaguely remember them being discouraged from use on the mount Washington auto road because of it. They were asked to park and offered a free ride up. I had Subaru s first cvt and was pleased with it.

I have heard of some folks complaining about the weight of using the 3.6 but some of the articles have stated it’s the cheapest motor they make and it bolts right in so it was the cheapest and quickest option development wise.

Yeah, I bought a 2013 JKU a few years with the 6 speed and basic stuff. Was kind of cool, felt like I had gone back to the 70s or 80s and it was fun rowing the gears but it was an odd transmission. The long shifter moves about a foot or more from the first gear position to the sixth gear...

Nice trip! But making me hungry!!!!
