Keeping the taco is probably your best bet but JLs make great family vehicles too. We’re 3+dog, have just under 10k miles on it now.

Great writing and wonderful pictures! Especially love the stay in the raspberry field

I paid for my 5x8 to have an upgraded 3500lb axle with 10” electric drums from the factory. The standard axle was a 2200lb unit. That also had the benefit of increasing my payload.

We see a -2mpg difference. The JK got 15mpg empty, 13 towing. The JL gets 19 empty, 17 towing.

If you get a 5’ wide trailer you can see around it with the factory mirrors. We have a 5x8. It’s small but it suits us well! Highly recommend adding electric brakes and a brake controller - nobody ever missed a crash and wished for less stopping power

Small cargo trailer (5x8). Build a rear kitchen with a dinette/bed combo inside. It'll be tight for 4 but it'll be a place to sit at a table out of the rain and eat/play games/be entertained. Put an RTT on the trailer. Carry bikes/kayaks on the truck. If the weather or terrain is too...

I had an RTT mounted on a rhino rack backbone system. Expensive, and you have to drill your hardtop. If you’re only camping a few times a year a cheap RTT will be fine.

Yea my jeep was stock when it happened. The dealer said it was 18” or so away from the sensor.

For me it was a wheel speed sensor harness that had worn its insulation off and would ground out only when driving in the rain. The Jeep would chime and pull fuel from the engine but no warning lights. Felt like it was chewing through bad gas but if I shut traction control off it would be fine...

They make cheap little waterproof blinking led lights for their collars. Turn it on at night and it helps you find them and other campers miss them with their cars.

Nope. Why waste the energy? When we get home the baskets come out and get unloaded into the fridge in the house. The fridge is unplugged and left with the lid propped open.

We found little things make a big difference. - some way to manage trash. We use a trasharoo on the spare tire - bucket for washing sand off feet just before jumping back in to head out. Especially handy with kids - rubber, catch-all floor mats We skipped awnings and just bought a giant...

Nope. That said it's a big pain so I only use it if I absolutely need to transport a Jerry can or two. Before After

I did that, didn’t bother to weld it just reused the bolts the rack came with. I had to section it to fit around the spare.

Great pictures and narration, makes us want to go back soon. If you’re still up north check out cape onion / onion cove. There is a cemetery at the top of a hill with a great view

Congrats! You’re a patient man... our JL took 4 weeks order to take-home

I agree the rating doesn’t make much sense. My 3.2L Cherokee is rated for 4500...

Great looking setup! GCWR on the JLUR is 8117lb, max trailer weight is 3500 lb and max tounge is 350 lbs. I’d be leery of adding another 70 lbs to the rear of the jeep since you’re probably overloaded as it is. Consider taking empty cans on the trip, dropping the trailer, then going back out to...

Check/replace fuse? I’ve had visually fine fuses work for a little while till they heated up ...

All the time If someone wants your stuff, a hardtop won’t stop them
