Week long camping trip to Washington AND having to carry an extra person? No problem in the LJ. Pretty stoked how well it all fit in there. Still have extra room on the Roof Rack as well.
Storage in an LJ

LJ life is so much more fulfilling, Rinc. You shorties just wouldn’t understand…
This never would have been a thing in my previous TJ. Not even close
When it’s just me and the wife I have a storage shelf I built too. Take the back seat out and I have more than enough room.
Mr Bills, offhand, how tall is your shelf? Been trying to decide if I should do a 1/2 shelf, tall shelf, or just decide to keep the refrigerator at home. If I take it, I will still have to either put it on a slider (more height) or need to have part of the shelf fold out of the way to access it.
Doing a lot of other work to the LJ, so have not been focusing on the shelf build yet. Plus - if I am not traveling, the dogs love the open back.

22 1/2" from floor to bottom of rack. See this thread for further details:

Nice setup!
This what it takes to camp with my wife and a LJ.

I'm prepared, if need be.
What is that canvas cover on that trailer? Did it come with it, or did you make it? Something like that would be great on mine.
I'm not gonna take a photo because it's not pretty or well organized but my lj is currently loaded up to take my family of four to stay the weekend in a cabin outside of Disney (the Oklahoma off-road destination, not the theme park). With a fastback soft top.
The trailer is a 1946 Bantam T3C acquired by my father in 1965 so he could take our family of five to Baja in a CJ5. I had the top made for it when I restored the trailer in 2004. The inspiration was one of the original Bantam advertisements and this particular Bantam trailer owned by a member of the Chuckwalla Jeep Club that I can still remember from when I was a kid.
I’m jealous!! I would love a trailer like that as well. I’ll definitely be getting one in the future.
