mine is a little over built for typical overland stuff, but It's road friendly and sees more backcountry miles than it does rockcrawlin miles.

98 ZJ, v8. Just turned over 37,000 miles
44 front w/ warns and CTM's. Spooled. 4.56's
Dynatrac 60 rear, Detroit. 4.56's
6" lift, 35" MTR's.
Radius arm front, triangulated 4 link rear
20# C02 on board.
Cobra 75 WXST CB
KC Dayligher 150 watt sealed beams
M8000 winch

Did about 3,000 dirt miles last year by my best guess.

Still to come
-JDM Electric fan
-4.88s

-helton shower
-snorkel
-better roof rack
-Communication's gear

Picked it up in Philadelphia last Feb. I've already gotten it stuck over 6 times so far. :greg: I love every mod on this truck. I fold the middle seats forward, the rear seats up, and keep all my gear in the back and only have to pull out the spare tire, recovery bag, and pelican gear case to sleep comfortably. For long hauls I have 4 scepter 5 gallon fuel cans and 3 scepter 5 gallon water cans. For navigation, I use paper, compass, and my laptop. I still need a USB gps reciever and a laptop mount and I will be golden.
 
Loaded with gear for 3, enough seats for 2.

Loaded with downed trees and brush later that night (don't let Eric know where you hide your keys).

Oh, and a GPS pic. I don't know how to add maps, so hardly any dirt routes show up on my GPS. I use it mainly as a fancy trip odometer to show details of the dirt portion of a trip.

For the rougher stuff, I use a fairly generic '06 Jeep (Rubi Unlimited). It's got a 3" lift, 35's, jerry can racks, dead coyote rack (can carry other stuff too), lots of armor, OBA, winch and carries a full host of recovery gear etc.

Packed to the gills on a Jarbidge trip a few years ago (still on 31's):

For the less rough stuff and carrying the whole family on extended camping trips, I use 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup trucks. Currently an '08 Dodge megacab CTD, bone stock except for a leveling kit and 35" Toyo MT's.

On our recent GSL trip:
S5000857.jpg


the trailer isn't super "expedition" friendly, but it worked for this trip. I had my dad with us and since he has bad hips, we opted for slightly more civilized sleeping arrangements. Other than the snapped leaf spring about 10 miles before we hit pavement, it held up rather well.

I would L O V E a fridge of some sort, But I know that will eventually lead to dual batteries and other things, We use a $60.00 electric cooler from Coleman, It seems to work, We dont travel with a lot of perishables.

Greg,
The fridge freezer is that in your rig, How does it compare in quality / price to the ARB?
Who sells them? Looking to get one for the CJ-8
Anyone else chime in on what to buy
Thanks

I'll post a full review here soon. Its a Chinese made fridge, but very high quality stuff. I can't say how it compares to an ARB or Engel, but so far it has been fantastic.
