    Remote/Advice

    Wow, crazy to run into you on here. I just started searching "Guatemala" on EP and landed here. Just got back from year 2 traveling down to Guatemala and I am not motivated to drive down there. Don't have any job help since I'm in the same boat! That being said, let's connect about planning a...

    Rockafella’s Off-road Camper Build

    After my spring break fly fishing trip to WNC, I decided I needed to find a better sleeping/storage solution for my trips. I have a Jeep XJ which is less than ideal for someone 5’10” to sleep in the back of with gear so I’ve decided to take the plunge and build a trailer. I’m home from college...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Trip WIshlist Hello all. I have attached a link to the Google Sheets spreadsheet that I created with my trip wishlist/practical list. If you have a second please take a look over and it let me know what I should add or don't need. The WJ tab is the optimal setup and the WJ Cheap is what I'm...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Similar to our what we did for our trip to Firefly Music Festival, I'm going to purchase a Helio Pressure Shower, cheap Walmart shower tent, and luggable loo for all our back-country hygiene needs. I don't why I didn't think about that earlier especially when I've already had to deal with it...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Thanks for the suggestions! All those camping spots sound good to be. I was worried about finding a place to stay in cities but I should be able to find a high school make out spot in most cities. What about showering and bathrooms? I know campgrounds have bathhouses but what about when we...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Yes I plan to go either late May into June or mid June into July. I am planning to either begin or end the trip at Firefly Music Festival in Delaware. I have looked into booked reservations for campsites and would like to have the trip planned out by Christmas so hopefully there will slots.

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Though I really [I]really[I] want the RTT, I have come to terms with the fact that nor do I need it and nor I have the money to spend on something like that. I'm going to go for the bed platform system like others have suggested. I think that would help me appreciate the trip more with a bit...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'm going to stick with the 2" lift that I have now and upgrade the blown Rough Country shocks to Bilstein. Like you said, I'll save a bit more by getting smaller tires and could get a bit better fuel mileage as well. As for sleeping in the Jeep, I have...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Thanks for reply!! I have definitely looked into ground tent camping as a viable way to cut down cost, but like you said RTT are the cool way to go :). I have reconsidering the RTT though because with the WJ, I lose a lost of space with a RTT on the roof. Otherwise, I would be able to stow a lot...

    2000 WJ 4.7L - NJ to CA? (on a budget)

    Hello all. This is my first time posting on this forum so bear with me here. So, I had the idea to take a road-trip with my home in New Jersey, across the U.S., to California, and then back. Along the way I would like to hit national parks like Yellowstone and see things like Mount Rushmore. I...
