I have been an avid tent camper for years, but some new needs have arisen and I'm looking for some input. Problems to solve: 1. Speed of set-up/ease of finding camp spots. On a recent trip in my wife's Renegade we tried taking a nap at a rest stop. It was miserable. For near-highway stops, is...

Chose the JK because I love the off-road capability and taking the top and doors off. I am much more of an overlander than a rock crawler and have been building my JK with that in mind. With my current setup on A/Ts it cruises at 75 mph and handles some gnarley trails. Current equipment: 2010...

I currently own two rigs and I want to consolidate and focus on building one of them. I drive a minimum of 25k highway miles each year, but I also spend a lot of time on rough mountain and desert roads with moderate rock crawling. I generally travel with one other person and a dog. Rig 1: 2003...
