Hey all. I'm from Upstate NY near the catskills. I currently drive a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk (I know, I know). Just have a ground tent for now (Gazelle T4). I want to eventually upgrade to a RTT but I want to get a few years out of the tent first. My Jeep has a 2" body lift. Nothing special. Already been to Ouray, CO with it (did the Alpine Loop). Looking to go on another trip out there, or maybe Utah/Texas in September. Anyone planning on being out in those areas mid September? I went by myself last time...which is never a good idea...but thankfully it all went smoothly. However, would like to travel out there this time with a group. Anyways, here's a short video I made of my trip last year. It was my first time "overlanding". Was a blast!
