Well I sold my headache of a VW Westfalia, it was a great concept but VWs suck. I'm taking the money instead and making my 06 LJ Rubicon more suited to overland travel and camping in spots that would scare the VW.
I have done the following;
-Rugged Ridge 8500# winch
Once they arrive;
-Gobi Recon Rack
-OME 2" heavy shocks with the sport shocks on the front
Will be doing;
-exorack for spare tire
-OME 2" heavys and sports for the back
-Ram components to mount the ipad
-rooftop tent
Need some help and thoughts on a few things;
After seeing too many decent jeeps turned into skyjackers with mud bogger tires I have really gotten turned off by those sorts of jeeps and away from people who own them. I don't want to turn this Rubicon into an Eco-killer. It need to be decent on the road, be able to travel bumpy roads without bottoming out, and be able to carry gear without any issues. It also has to look close to stock height and not look like it has a lift.
Any other overland suggestions would be appreciated.
