Fouledplugs, I'm not trying to be a textbook overlander. I have done quite a bit of disperse camping out west and if work allows me I'm going for a month this summer. I don't want to be a minimalist. I like showers and there are not always available. I will have means for a shower and a refrigerator. Having to go to town for ice and a shower is time I could have spent in God's country.

I will drive on paved roads, but not camp in a campground if I can help it. If that makes me a car camper I'm okay with that. I'm doing it for me and the only people I am trying to please are my son and myself, and maybe my daughter if she decides to go.

You are more than welcome on my property to camp out, just don't start a forest fire...

According to a few of these overlanding ten commandments it might actually be more ideal to use a TJ over an LJ for overlanding. It will ā€œforceā€ you to bring far less stuff. I mean do you really need all that shit that these overlanding folks bring? Wow! Noticed a lot of stand up showers and toilets, like with their own tents. While nice, is it really needed...? Just makes me wonder what else they pack in there that they dont need.

And now that I read more of this kind of factual and experienced based stuff I realize how accurate @mrblaine and his post is. Looks like its been watered down and turned into a social media status type status/look with all the roof racks, pop up roof tents, and even refrigerators.

If your rig hits the paved roads, you're just car camping IMO.

ā€¦ glad to see that you've figured out all there is to know about overlanding in the last 2 days.

Overland is the new LCoG. I noticed that a certain off road brand with a solid marketing department is selling overland fenders for the JL.

I enjoy camping out of my Jeep and driving around for a few days. It is what it is.

What happened to the prepper guys? I haven't seen anything from them in at least a year or two.
 
Not getting into the whole defining over landing. But i did notice the attachment points. Looks like something "like" the ORfab carrier could attach. Adding storage.

Yep, I missed that myself the first time around, and I'm only giving it a provisional acceptance because it is, indeed, present. In terms of function, however, it's just awful. Going in and of of the tailgate with a second latching gate in the way that has to be moved every time is just downright frustrating...and in an LJ with no rear access aside from the front doors and the tailgate, it gets old really fast.

I don't care for the lack of tire coverage, either, in terms of long-distance driving.

Can't decide if I like the lights in the rear bumper or not.

Axles are 70WMS

I like that the rear LEDā€™s fit flush and the install looks clean. IMO, they dont look too far from a factory type/OEM type install, I think they compliment the build.

Those mounts are for the Genright carrier. Awful to open and close is mildly descriptive. There is enough squish in the bushings they use that the empty carrier hits about 3/4" high on the driver side when you try to close it without the tire holding it down.

That's unacceptable.
