Overlanding with the pups

[MarioT'sCJResto]

My whole jeep XJ build was centered around my dog, he's a 75lbs Belgian Sheepdog. Front passenger seat delete along with the rear, made for me and him. Neoprene floor so he has comfort and traction, every thing is tied down and netted across for his safety (and mine). We just did Black Bear Pass and all the others around there last week and he loved it, I remove the rear view mirror on trails so he has a uninterrupted view on the trail. He always see the elk, dear and bighorn before I do and lets me know. Been my co-polit for the last 9 years.

Wow what a beautiful 75lb pup, love the pics. I had my flat coat retriever for 14.5 years and she was my co-pilot was well traveling from AZ to NY over 6 times. Now that I look at these pics I wonder if Jasmine was a Belgian Sheepdog. I also love the way you setup your XJ, right now I'm looking at a Camper Trailer / Opus or HQ series options

"the way they drove" ? not sure what you mean by that as the entire video production was all a bit enhanced for dramatic effect. Some one actually suggested they call in a rescue team for the hikers? Really? One thing for certain though, adverse weather can happen any time any where. Be prepared, physically, mechanically and mentally. Apologies to the OP. We have decided not to get another dog since our Maggie and Sasha passed on several years ago. Once we are finished with our back country and inter-national travels then it will be time for another dog to join our family.

No apologies needed; and that makes sense if your always on the go... Stay Safe and thank you for the reply

Sorry to be confusing... Had nothing to do with the video. I meant how it felt for me to drive a Wrangler.
