Very nice rig!

Nice!

Welcome to the group!

My advice to you would be to take whatever you like and will enjoy. Driving all day on rough backcountry roads is tiring and at the end of the day it’s nice to relax and have a nice meal.

the pic shows the type of things I usually take. Everything’s pre made and ready to eat. I used to do the fridge and cook everything but moved away from that the last 2 years or so. Mostly out of sheer laziness and partly out of saving money and space. The only time I cook now is in the winter...

Around 5500lbs total with me and the dog included.. Im also more minimalist. No fridge, no oven, no rtt, no drawer system, etc… And my sleeping platform with under storage is mostly made of cedar so its light too.

My plan was to camp somewhere north of Las Cruces on Saturday, then somewhere around Crazy Cook on Sunday then just explore the area until meet up.

I only have about 4000 miles on these and so far so good. I have used them in the past before switching to all terrains. and loved them. With all the sandy ground we will be traversing, I may regret the MT's though.

Well I got the XJ pretty much done except for the rocksliders. Those should be here next month and I will be ready to go.. .

Looks like you will be able to camp in style..

Last year I bought a cheap tire carrier rear bumper for my wife’s XJ off of amazon for $500. This is her backup vehicle, never sees offroad, and is seldomly even drivin. For these reasons I wanted a lower cost alternative to the $1500 Smittybuilt I have on my XJ. . . I like the looks and...

Sounds like fun! I might bring one of my dogs. Anyone else bringing one?

Excellent! I know Im looking forward to it...

a copy of my passport.

Where Im from we all use CB’s.

Good advice. On a separate note, we should probably carry extra air filters since we will be in convoy mode.

Good to hear. I rolled my Jeep in the mountains Christmas eve so I put the other one Im building on the fast track to completion .

On the USA side, check to see if the areas to want to traverse are classified as a NDA (national defense area).If so,you will need to get a permit from the military. Seems like a lot of the border these days are NDA zones.

No just cleaning the underside!

Stiff as a 2x4 but good overall. Left what little pride I had at the scene of the accident LOL
