Nice build. Can't wait to see how it finishes out.

Nice work, following along.

Nice looking trailer. I'm trying to decide between the buy, build, or mostly built option you went for. I'll be going to Expo West to check out what all is on the market, but it is great reading all of the different build threads to get an idea of those options as well. Thanks for posting this.

Ahh, a little bit to far for me to come give you a hand removing the tent.

Where in CO are you?

Thanks for the report. The MR is on my trip list as well. You might want to put a link to and from between Parts 1 and 2 to make it easier for people to jump between the two... just a thought.

Thanks man. I'm pretty sure that had I started off as an overlander, there would not be as nearly as many mods on my Jeep. lol

Glad you liked it Guy. If truth be hold, we could have spent a couple more days in DV. There is just so much to see and do there.

Researching more in to the diesel ZR2 as an option for me, your post did make me think about rather or not the gas station I fill up at even has diesel (I fill up on an AF base). I'll check the next time I fill up, but I don't think it does. As the next closest gas station is miles out of the...

Thanks, that's good to know!

How is the truck doing for you a year later?

I agree the extra range is a huge plus. But you kind of killed your own point with that bit about you having to stop for your buddy. With so few offroad diesel options out there, the chances of running in a diesel only group is slim. The 3~4 hours per year you save by gassing up only every...

Thanks. I was getting as low as 8mpg with the Jeep towing a small offroad trailer, so just about anything should be an upgrade there. lol

The Kingdom table worked out really well on our trip, wishing I would have bought two of them actually. In fact, my dad who does not overland or really camp any longer said he would like to have one as well. I guess I'll be watching for another good sale on these.

Sorry, I did not really explain those. I laser engraved and cut them out of 1/8 Baltic birch. I started making the trail plates (that first photo, roughly 2x3 inches) years ago for each of the Jeep trails that I ran. I made up extras and gave them out to other drivers that ran the trails with...

I picked up an older inReach device from a buddy in a trade from some laser work last year and needed a way to mount it in the Jeep. I already had a Vector Offroad J Dock and some Ram Mounts, but I was not able to find one of the inReach specific Ram mounts in stock anywhere (the stopped making...

Thanks man. I think I might actually go back down to 35s for overlanding. If I end up with an offroad trailer (highly likely at some point) I'll definitely drop back down so I can run the same set of tires and just have one spare. I'll still keep the 37s mounted and put those on for true...

Here is a look at how I loaded the back of the Jeep for the Death Valley trip. We accessed the fridge from the passenger's side rear door the entire trip. It was not too bad, but I would have preferred it closer to the cook stove. How ever, with the trailer setup we had, I don't think it...

I managed to get all of my Overland Badges made up for this trip... I also played around with a new idea to commemorate our trips... That last one is a little bit more involved. I had to create the outline of Death Valley and then superimpose our GPS track over it. I then added stars to...

To prepare the Jeep for our recent Death Valley trip, I need to do some more Overland friendly mods to it... I removed the 60 portion of the rear 60/40 bench seat to give more storage space inside the Jeep. My 7 year old son will still occupy the remaining seat. To make the area more useable...
