Thank you for reading, glad it could take you back to your trip for a little bit. Thank you for the well wishing with the new job! And thank you for the support militarily!

That's what like to hear lol those Rubicons are crazy capable stock. Small lift and 35ish inch tires and I'll be good to go. I'm a full time aircraft mechanic with the airforce reserves at Grissom ARB north of kokomo. I'll be switching to the Utah air guard to work the same jets out there

Hello from another Hoosier! Sorry to hear about the basset, but congrats on the twins! We loved the San Juan's, such a beautiful area and we can't wait to go back too. It's under a 7hr drive from Salt Lake, with all the areas to explore in Utah though I'm not sure when we will make it back out...

Appreciate the read! The red didn't look terrible but I couldn't get my mind off of thinking it looked like a candy cane lol I still have the red hatch but unfortunately I wont be dragging it to SLC with us lol

So I've been really lazy on the final chapter for this trip but for a good reason. I recently accepted a job out in Salt Lake City! After spending sometime in the area while on this trip I knew we would be moving there eventually just didn't know it would be so soon. In the next month we are...

No holes, just glued on. Just takes a bit of time to clean all the glue off. Used a Goo gone type stuff

For now I prefer the old vehicles, they still have a charm that new vehicles don't. Sure it might break down more often but fixes are almost always easy and always cheap. Big believer in that your vehicle will take care of you just as well as you take care of it. In the case of a disco, just...

Thank you both for reading! I've been enjoying recounting our adventure

Thanks, been wanting this carrier setup for awhile now. Glad to have it done, for now

Good to know! Thanks

I have a trutrac in my rear axle on the XJ. Don't notice it on the roads other than snow, which is helpful. Its great off road, did 6500mi trip including lot of trails it was much better than open. Worth the money.

All painted up. Just designing up the gas can holder now, which I think I'm going to make it bolt on and possibly almunium. Fresh paint on the carrier/right by Emerson Bowling, on Flickr . Fresh paint on the carrier/left by Emerson Bowling, on Flickr . . Also measured my lift front and rear...

Thank you sir! This took way longer than I thought it was going to that's for sure. Have one more chapter to finish off the trip, but I've been having fun writing it. Domo had enough room on this trip and I think we over packed, so now knowing what we do and don't need on a long trip like this i...

It'll be OME quality regardless, it's a all OME leaf pack right now

New tire carrier is all welded up. Still need to make the gas can holder, an auto open gas strut system, then figure out what I want to do with the hi-lift. . . Also while Brad at Obsession Off-road had the Cherokee he installed my JKS shackles. With that and losing ton of weight with the new...

No big updates. Took it on a short weekend trip up to Manistee NF, Michigan with some of the guys from JCRoffroad and friends. Jeep did great, sometimes 2 feet or more of snow made the rails really interesting. IMG_20180109_090639_440 by Emerson Bowling, on Flickr
