I think I have decided and I am going to start my search. Thank you to everyone for your insight and opinions. Here is my conclusions. Since I live in the Northern NJ, 15 minutes out of NYC, trails are not in my backyard. So a lot of driving on road will need to be done to get to trails. At...

@RckFink i can’t Evan imagine what you go though but I think it’s inspiring to see you Or anyone else; not let life break their spirits. I would suggest a Jeep club. From my experience, Jeepers are a different breed of people. They will definitely have your back out on and off the trail. Also...

And to play devil’s advocate with my own statement.... 65k+ or evan 80k+ isn’t that bad if I am going to keep it for 15/20/25 years and hand it off to my son if he is able to safely grasp driving it and have it for a few more years...

Vance, I do appreciate your responce. As for the Excursion, I have looked, actually for a few years now for a used one. The problems I usually find with used excursions are: Poor Service records / Rusted floorboards / 13” “lift” kits / Don’t want a V10 / 7.3 Ridiculous mileages or over priced /...

now if only these guys were in the US: Rhinohide

I agree with you completely. My Jeeps I have always tried to keep the weight not only low, but well balanced as well. I wheeled my LJR for a long time without evan a lift, just step bumpers and a winch. Keeping a Low center of Gravity. It’s why I would not go up in lift more then 3”. Evan the...

That has been the debate but unfortunately unless I keep the kids or the wife or the dog home, I am starting to realize that I need a full size.

Now that’s a hell of an answer :sunglasses: I agree with you, I was merely asking literally out of curiosity. The 1500 payload, is kind of a joke. Let’s say 2 adults, 2 kids and alarge dog and you can easily get to 1/2 of that. Add a cap, add some extra water and fuel, fridge, oven, sleeping...

Hypothetically would a DPF delete help resolve these issues? I am curious now and don’t know enough about it.

37” no lift?

You do bring up a good point, and it is something I was overlooking. 100% while in there I can add lockers easily. The only benefit is that I would have them right away. I don’t plan on modding it until I have the overland gear figured out, seeing what I need vs what I want. How many of you...

i was actually going to hit you up on IG this morning. I ageee the cost of these things has gone way out of control. How do you like your Ram?

My approach wrong? I don’t believe it is actually. This thread was started for me to ask questions of other members with a full size rigs and mid size rigs, on the pros and cons of each as I try to make a decision for what is best for my family and our service dog when it arrives. Yes I am an...

I mentioned the diesel because I’m researching future trips with possibly a diesel vehicle into the coffee countries of South America, I found that not all countries are on low sulfur diesel yet. Many including Mexico, have area without it still. My concern is that High Sulfur, farm/tractor...

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I want to keep the vehicle mechanics relatively stock for reliability, etc... excluding the suspension of course as I want to fit 37” tires while maintaining a low center of gravity. It is one of the reasons with originally looking at the JT Rubicon...

All very good points guys for me to consider. Here is a curve ball.... I was pricing new vehicles online last night for research and a fully loaded JTR:$65k, Fully loaded PW: $60K, Fully loaded Rebel with EcoDiesel $59K.

When I look at the Tremor, I want another DRW... it’s a great truck but it’s bigger then what I am looking for. I don’t need all the towing capacity anymore.

It has the payload of a Gladiator. Which is where my dilemma comes full circle. The way I see it; trading a JTR smaller interior size for larger interior of PW; loosing small nimble form factor of JTR for larger PW. The bed is bigger in the PW, but the sunroof is small compared to the removab...

Haha now to decide on which full size!!! Power Wagen is as close to a Rubicon, or is there something else?

Yes TFL is building one, but also is the guy from Quadratec. He is building his personal Gladiator and posting videos on it. It’s funny you say that, when the wife and I originally talked about the Gladiator, my intention was to have him wrench on it with me, introducing him (and I) to...
