I’d feel bad too if our Jeep sat for 4 months. In that same span we’ve wheeled everywhere from tillamook Oregon, the high Sierras, Death Valley, and the Nevada desert. Terrains from beach to mud to rocks and even snow. Elevations from -100’ to ~11k feet. We leave tonight for a 3k mile road trip to CO and Moab. I definitely didn’t buy the most capable off road vehicle available for it to sit in the garage. To each his own, but the best part of Jeep ownership is the adventure in my opinion. Should pass 36k miles on this trip, at least 6k of those being off road.
That's the earliest build I've seen besides mine. I was told by FCA that mine had been built and was undergoing inspection in December of 17, but the VIN indicates an early January build. I do know I had the first manual transmission JL in Indiana though.74039 mi. December 17 build. I purchased October 18 with 10k. Been from Cape Lookout NC to Moab UT a couple of times. Only early issue was steering dampers. Took 3 to get it right.
Didn't sit all the time. Just rain days since it's been naked most of the time. Give me time. I have time now. lol DFW is trail landlocked. I have made it to 2 Off-road sites around use. Have not started to go on big trips yet. Taken care of some things since retired early. Planning on going West soon. New Mexico then West Coast and up Highway 1 into Alaska and Canada when the border opens back. Then drop back down into Colorado and Utah. Doing some bucket list items.
That's a LOT of shoes....
Being a CO resident from Ohio, this made me giggle.Just enough to run from Columbus to up north to smack some teams around
I can relate, we had our share of busy and/or lean years where off road trips were minimal to non-existent. Fortunately our son is grown and pretty independent. We are both secure in our careers and can plan 4 to 8 day trips every month. Mix in a few weekend trips on top of that and we are definitely getting our adventure miles in. Watching the clock at work for another hour before I head home, strap the jeep on the trailer, and head out.
Yea, seeing all the photos on the forum where Jeep owners live and they are right where trails and mountains are. Texas has basically no Public land to off-road on. Most land is privately owned. I am fortunately able to retire early so planning on trips. My kids are grown and gone. Son went to Florida to visit Uncle in 2015 and never came back. Been roaming beaches in his Jeep.I can relate, we had our share of busy and/or lean years where off road trips were minimal to non-existent. Fortunately our son is grown and pretty independent.

How are you liking that Bundutec? I am probably going with one for ease of setup and the high winds out where I live and wheel.74039 mi. December 17 build. I purchased October 18 with 10k.

I love it. I've had it almost 3 years. Only issue was an elastic cord snapped. Very easily replaced. The new ones are even better. Talk with Jenn at BuntutecUSA, she's great to work with. I have a camping buddy that went through 3 RTTs before I finally convinced him to get a Bundutec.
