Do you have a website or some contact info?

I appreciate the input. Timing wise it may not be ideal, but the cold never bothered me anyway[emoji445] and I get what I get. And yeah, I agree, I am going to run what I got. Figure it out from there. If I don't make it past Mexico or all the way to Tuk, it'll be an amazing year regardless...

Thanks for asking. Next May - June'ish, I am either shipping it to Argentina with the goal of Idaho by Christmas, if that is even realistic. Or, drive to Alaska, again Idaho by Christmas, and head south from there. Essentially the Pan American. Then head to a new "home" unless money holds up. I...

I get around 14 mpg at 70 mph I saw 18 once with a 40+mph tail wind while driving through Wyoming.

This is why I was considering making it smaller. I still think just waiting until things wear out is likely the best choice. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

That's funny! I can say that is the case as a mechanic. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

Good discussion, I personally will always stick with Jeep. I have been working for the company in some form or another since before college. Mostly as a-mechanic, now an instructor. I have never had a bad one. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

I hear what you're saying, my jacked up Jeep has served me well for Overlanding or off road camping. Specifically for a few weeks at a time in several places like the UP, Colorado, Utah etc. My concern was more long term travel out of the US. Including range and finding part replacements (non...

I think based partly on the input, I will probably save the money and just replace items as they go out, thankfully the majority of the components outside the suspension and my locker wiring are factory. I will keep working on the inside to make it reasonably comfortable without buying too much...

I appreciate it, I think I will swap items out as they wear out. Switch to AT's etc. I appreciate the input.

Actually, that would do it for sure. Ratcheting down the axle alone should make it fit, that never occurred to me. The last part of this for international travel is the modified suspension, for example control arms etc. if I break a heim joint in south America, how bad will it be to get fixed...

Thanks, that's where I was leaning. It's been really dependable as is. I am working on the inside. It's coming along. Maybe A/T's when these are worn out. That'll be hard since I have been on mud tires since the 90's. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

Thanks, I am looking forward to it. I do recognize the build direction has changed, so in that sense the reality has indeed changed.

Hi, First real post here. I built my JKU up for off road adventures over the course of many years and 290,000+ miles. Camping and travel were the side effects of my hobby. Events change things, and now I have begun building with plans to do more overlanding with some moderate off road...
