    2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

    The WJ is a great Jeep. You shouldn’t have to much of a problem with the 4.0, great engines! I love mine, although I have the V8 4.7 ltr which isn’t as reliable as yours. If you plan on doing any solo camping, a slick easy “upgrade” is to make the rear seat bottoms removable. I also made a...

    Thanks! I don’t have a back seat in. I’m usually by myself but do have the passenger front seat open if my daughter or wife wants to go.

    I'll build something very simular to this but just the opposite with drawers on the right, fridge on the left side. I'll have it where the drawers are removable so when I have my wife and daughter along I'll install a 3rd seat and still have the fridge.

    Jeep TJ overland "shoestring" slow build

    Thanks guys, I've thought about ditching the lack of storage problem by building a trailer for most everything. But that would be one more registration to pay and one more trailer I have to store somewhere. It's been fun so far. I found a JK set up (granted JK's are longer/wider) but the...
