Took a Sunday drive all by my lonesome.

Wife and I took the new Jeep on a road trip yesterday, Still not setup for over nighting, so it was an out and back. We explored a part of our state that we had never seen before, and got some ideas for some future expos. We went to the annual Pie Festival in Pie Town New Mexico!

I really learned a lot from this thread, I learned I don't know crap about packing, despite all of the deployments I have gone on. I am hoping to overcome some of my medical issues to get further from the Jeep, but I'm happy I have a Jeep to take me further.

Here it is, looking forward to many new adventures!

I couldn't pass up the deal, the bonus is, my 20 year old and 18 year old daughters want to do some weekend Jeep exploring, so in about 2 hours I will be taking delivery of a 2015 JKUR, I will miss my old JK, but look forward to many new adventures with the new Jeep, hope to build the Expo...

Omar, wow! That is some serious packing right there. I appreciate all of the inputs, not an easy decision, but one that will be made today! That is a nice setup as well Swift, a solid check in the don't buy column.

Thanks for the replies. Suffering with some mobility issues, I don't hike very far anymore, I just want to get away. I think it will mostly be me going solo, maybe my wife on occasion. I have been going over my list of wants Vs needs, at 47 they have changed, not drastically, but they have...

I am really serious about doing some NM back road exploring next year, beyond the 100 mile circle I usually inhabit. I have a 2 dr Wrangler, it will be paid off soon, but I am looking at a 4 dr just for the cargo space. Not sure if I can swing another Rubicon, which I don't like, as my lockers...

Depending on which gear ratio you have, I wouldn't go too big on the tire size. Great looking Jeep, a little over a week ago, I put a 2" Rancho Sport Lift on mine because I blew a rear shock, and the kit came with 4 new shocks. I will keep an eye on your progress. I will say, if you drive in...

I like it, love the Kubota write up.

The trailer is nice, in that you can unhook if you want to do some local exploring. Aside from the classic Jeep look, I like the 2dr for it's ability to get out of tight spots.

I definitely like the idea of being able to retreat inside the Jeep in the event the weather takes a really bad turn. The roof tent would certainly work here in the Desert Southwest, sleeping up off of the hot ground has a certain appeal.

I wish they had continued the LJ and made an LK, my children are grown, hardly ever use the back seat, the extra room without the doors would have been welcomed. I am happy to see that there are others out there doing the 2dr expedition thing, I am slowly getting there.

I understand about the wanting to sleep inside the vehicle, my 2002 Dodge Diesel was good for that while it had a topper. I do understand why the 4dr are much more popular in this realm, I just really prefer the classic look of my 2dr, my Dodge makes much more sense as an expedition vehicle...

It would seem that the vast majority of Wrangler Expedition vehicles I see are of the 4dr variety, anyone else seeing the world in a 2dr?

I have to wait until November 23! I try to get up in the hills and scout every weekend. I do have an archery deer tag as well, that opens 1 September.

With the stock Rubicon tires, I have no issues driving at 9500-10500' with an automatic and stock 4.10 gears. I'm up there almost every weekend looking for elk.

Lucky for most of the salesman they do sell themselves. I appreciate the few who do know what a Jeep is about.

We weren't ever not friends, just a difference of opinion. I have been driving Jeeps since 1976, and while I like some of my creature comforts, I often times feel a Jeep isn't really a Jeep any longer. Now my '02 Dodge Diesel is a truck for sure. To each his own, I guess my point is, not...

Will not argue the new automatic transmission is much better, the extra gear does help. I am also sure the new engine will prove to be a winner over the long haul, but to call the 3.8 unreliable was laughable. For a Jeep, gears are where it is, my old Willys CJ-5 had 5.38s in the diffs and it...
