Hello everyone,

I am in the process of turning my one man car camp set into a more family friendly hobby.

I have two jeeps
2002 wj jeep grand cherokee 4.7 (wifey)

2000 jeep cherokee xj 4.0 (mine)

Both jeeps i bought this year as daily drivers/ overlanding rigs.
I have a basic set up for weekend warrioring solo and trying to build a interchangeable set up for family weekend warrioring and longer solo trips. My wifes jeep is about to get the full treatment; new shocks, springs, brakes & rotors, rims, tires, lights, and exhaust.

My xj i bought already with a 4 inch rough country lift, 35 inch ko2s, smitty bilt bumpers and tire carrier. My current plans for this is to just clean it up and put 33s on it and drive it and enjoy it for solo trips and take my time figuring out its build.

Overlanding plans include a spring trip through the cdt; i have a few fall trips planned but very loose plans

Hi Kent,
I just got back from Panhandle Overland rally. It was very nice, they had a great course set up to try out your rigs on in a safe environment. I will be down your way in the next week and a half maybe we can meet up? Carl

They had trail set up it they tested ability of the driver and the vehicle. That was worth it for me without the rally get some practice with my Land Cruiser. Course the rally was fine to lots of great vendors and music, good folks.
