Ah, yeah. Sorry I was meaning the country area but more so it's relatively "free" as compared to booking a place, much cheaper.

Awesome pictures! Yeah, you definitely know how to turn a parts run into a great trip. lol

My wife and I actually just did this trip December '16 and also based out of an AirBnB house in Moab. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/167302-Arches-NP-Canyonlands-NP-amp-Moab-from-Texas-in-only-5-days As far as Arches goes, don't go in the normal paved way. The Moab visitor center...

So this is being added to my bucket list for sure but after I build a trailer since that wind sounds brutal! Your journey sounds great though with such diverse scenery. Where were those last two pictures taken from?

I'm sure I missed it somewhere but how did you guys decide where to camp each day? Did you build the trip around that or try and wing it certain days?

I was actually thinking the same thing. I assume soft top for easier top down driving but why the slanted roof?

Thanks! And 100%, my dad's had a couple old Jeeps (CJ7 & TJ) and every time he gets in ours he can't understand how quiet it is. With MTs for rubber and a box for shape, it's actually quiet and comfortable.

Thanks y'all. It was a blast of a trip. Two full days of driving and three full days there. Fast but worth it.

Looks like a fun trip! I've always wondered how dogs do with RTTs and (since we also have a ~55-lb lab) it looks pretty doable! Any worries of him jumping down?

Man we wanted to do this road so bad over Christmas this year but it was closed...

Yeah.... I carry my USAA insurance card with roadside assistance and Jeep's service phone number. But like all real mean, I always keep a knife, duct tape, Zip-ties and of course, WD40. Oddly enough, I've never used WD40 while traveling. I have definitely used all of the others though.

Well we finally put some real dirt under the tires and head to Moab over the Christmas break. Trip report: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/167302-Arches-NP-Canyonlands-NP-amp-Moab-from-Texas-in-only-5-days Amazing place and had so much fun! Here a few token pics from the trip...

The next day we went and wasted money at Hole 'n the Rock. I say wasted because, although it is cool, the whole place is comprised of gimmicky, chinsey, touristy doo-dahs. After that, we finally did “Moab”. We only did Fins ‘N Things but it was more than enough for a stock...

Eventually, we made it to Dead Horse State Park. Its interesting how much different the scenery/view is compared being down on that trail to being up here above it. We fueled ourselves up at possibly the best lunch spot ever and then continued on to Canyonlands NP. Finally we saw what...

Day 2 The next day we woke up early, cooked up some eggs, bacon, and fried potatoes and peppers in bacon grease and then packed up lunch and cameras headed for the famous White Rim Trail. We were originally going to take it from river, through the Potash farm and up Shafer Trail to Island in...

The original plan was NOT to go on vacation but instead to see family in Indiana. You see, my wife and I live in Houston, TX and it takes time and, more importantly, vacation days to see family on the other side of the nation from us. Since my parents decided (Dec 12th) they weren't going to...

I think that's a Ram 1500 bed.. just as a temporary cover.

It'd be much longer than the current JK. Not like how the H2 Hummer was to the H2T. Think more like the H3 to the H3T. Imagine something along the size of a Tacoma but looks like a Wrangler, acts like a Wrangler, is a Wrangler. I'd love to have a a 2-dr JK for fun, 4-dr JK for family, and a 4-dr...

Can't believe it took so long but hey... At least they finally fixed it!

That and which kid you'll have to give up to afford one. Your same question though will also apply to the upcoming Bronco... Either way, the offroad, adventure oriented buyer should be getting pretty happy if not a little overwhelmed with so many good options on the horizon.
