    This is the most fundamental survivors guide ever for wrangler exploration. I wish I could hug you guys for this tranquil and peaceful video, and for all you may have sacrificed, (in this society probably not much compared to what I could just imagine, an experience like this could catapult a soul to great heights, but it appears that you two may have already been in great heights spiritually before your journey even began). Thank you. And, thank you to all of those who supported these two beautiful souls on their expedition.

    Love your channel--I'm building my 2003 Jeep TJ Rubicon I've owned for 20 years now into an overlander and using your channel for ideas. My biggest concerns beyond space is weight. I'm already at 4300lbs without anything in the Jeep other then 100lbs of backseat, stereo box/subs, amps etc..., (which is coming out). This is without me or a hardtop. Add those and I'm nearly at my 4600lb GVWR without any equipment. Add a small slide out nomad cv kitchen, hardtop rack, iKamper mini, batwing compact awning, small 25L dometic fridge with slide, Ecoflow 20lb generator, diesel heater, coleman hot water shower, 3x dometic 3 gal water jugs, one 3.8 gal waterport, + food, clothes, pots, pans...etc. You get the picture--LOL. I will likely be 500-750lbs over factory GVWR, however..., a lot of that is unsprung weight with 35-inch tires, rims, Dana 44 axles, brakes. Also, I have a RC heavy duty 4-inch lift with heavy duty control arms, track bars, shocks so I know my Jeep can operate with additional weight. Anyway, looking at your TJ videos with everything, it seems like it is excessively heavy. How heavy is your jeep with a full load, you, your wife and 2x hounds....,and how does it ride? primary on-road in acceleration and at speed. Interesting to know as a baseline.

We're buying our first now after a lifetime of owning Landrover series and a Defender, Ranger, Mazda, Suzuki Jimny, curentl a Mahindra Pikup S6 Karoo 4x4 ( fantastic value and amazing off road!)

    Ahh! Been waiting for this. Love this build. Sucks to hear all the stuff you guys had to replace when the front axle grenaded, but it’s good to see the fox back so it’s former glory. Do you guys ever miss having the trailer to keep supplies, tent, and stuff?

    Yeah, we miss the trailer everyday.It was nice to be able to separate the jeep from the sleeping. We have been talking about a chuck wagon (kitchen) for the future for outings to be able to sustain for longer periods of time. We recently just upgraded the Fox to a Roof Top Tent, and its been great to get off the ground again.

    Here's a fun story.... I've had a 97 TJ since day one and a solid decade later I had a mild vibration on the highway for at most 3 days before I hit the on ramp one day and as soon as I hit 70 had an absurd amount of vibration that shattered my entire transfer case before I could even slow down. Front driveshaft pilot bearing that only cost $50 had I payed attention to that mild vibration 3 days earlier🤦

    Question for you: here in a few months I’ll be driving out from Oklahoma to the pacific north west for fire season. Taking my 98 TJ 4.0 5 speed. It’s basically stock besides wheels, tires, lift, front bumper/winch. Won’t be doing crazy overlanding or anything, but I’m trying to properly plan my load out. I’ll be living in a camp for however long, then just moving to the next camp. Any tips for storage that you have figured out? I have a soft top but no A/C so expect to have the top down pending weather. I don’t want to use a rack just for the ease of using the top. But I need to be able to pack quickly. I’ll be removing the rear seat so I’m thinking a weather proof container in the rear. I know this is a little different than how y’all travel but any tips you’ve learned are appreciated. Best of luck!

    Hey! That sounds like an awesome trip! We’ve adventured with a similar set up a few years ago. Couple things, separate sealed storage boxes. We just started using South African ammo boxes, vs the Rubbermaid bin we have in the video. We picked them up at sportsman’s warehouse. Bonus, they are 1/2 the width of the tj tub, and interlocking stackable. Great size to separate gear and play Tetris in the TJ. 2nd thing, we use iOverlander to find camp spots but we don’t typically stay in the marked sites. Usually if you go a little further past the marked spots there will be additional spots and with a capable rig why not? 🤣 3rd and probably most important, gearing. If you haven’t regeared your axles for the tire size and additional weight of gear, do it. We run 4:56 gears with 35” tires but 4.88’s would perform much better. Power, fuel economy, and drivability will all benefit from appropriate gearing. All the grades and mountain passes in your future, the 4.0 and ax 15 trans Will thank you. All in all, enjoy the trip, take your time and soak it all in. Who knows, maybe we’ll see ya down the road in the PNW this summer. 🤝🤘
