    Sleeping in the Tj

    The best way to sleep in a TJ would be to remove the passenger seat and or build a platform so you wouldn't have to unload all your gear. The option to sleep in your rig is one reason I bought my H3.

    What to look for when buying a Rover?

    I would look for a Toyota not a Land Rover. Put a picture of a 109 or 110 Expo Land Rover on your visor of your Toyota and you will be good.

    BFG MT tire pressure

    65 psi is the the pressure for the max load. No need for that day to day. What vehicle are they on? Your Trooper? For the hwy I'd say 35-40psi and much less off road. Experiment and see what works.

    just did a week of cold weather camping

    When camping in the winter I usually sleep in the back of my H3 or bring my 4 season backpacking tent. At least when you sleep in a truck or camper shell you don't get the wind noise from the tent/rainfly.
