Starting my build.

[CHEFAFLO]

Hey yall, just decided the other day that by next year in December I want my jeep completely finished with everything to start an overlanding trip. If anyone has a 2 door JK or JL and wouldnt mind sharing their builds id greatly appreciate it. Ive only seen one 2 door JL on youtube (shout out Metalcloakmike) that has something similar id like to do. Im pretty set on going with metalcloak 3.5 game changer lift, Im on 35s already, im most likely going with 4:88 gears.

I suggest you check out Dan Grec on his YouTube channel- The Road Chose Me. Then check out Andrew St Pierre White’s work on 4X Overland workshops. Both of these guys have really great advice.

What are your overlanding/trip plans, how long? ground tent? roof top tent? trailer? self sufficient or going as a group? keeping the back seat or ditching it? More information given will probably help people offer more help.

The most id be out is probably a week, Im just tryna get out there lol. I ditched my back seat, definitely ground tent. I found a sliding rack system that i like alot so ill be adding that to the setup to carry all my gear.

We’ve been all over the Big Bend region and the rest of the country in basically stock vehicles. The old Rubicon had “ heavy” old man emu springs to support the extra weight without too much sag and our 96 Landcruiser had OME springs for a heavy load. Each vehicle had 33” rubber. Plenty modified for 99.9% of all trails in North America. Just my two cents sort of thoughts!
