Or rather more accurately have a vehicle will travel.
My folks have instilled in me a travel bug. At age 6 I recall going on this crazy monster of a trip where we visited countless national parks and monuments. One of my most amusing memories is getting out of a tent in Yellowstone to a sight of a buffalo taking a leak on some poor campers tent :)
Fast forward many years: my first vehicle was an 86 XJ... Had issues as it had the Chevy 2.8V6 but it took me many fun places and gave me plenty memories. Since then I have always owned at least one jeep.
Currently we have two jeeps and a Subaru. Each vehicle serves it's purpose and they have all been used to travel across the states. My current project is converting the JKU to a self sufficient vehicle which will sleep 2 adults and a kid - UM is on order.
Self sufficiency - well... My problem is that I have everything plus a kitchen sink... I try not to leave anything to chance which results in heavy loaded rig... So the second part of the project is figuring out what I can leave behind ;)
The goal is to have the JKU setup this year with with plan of a road trip out to Yellowstone next year with some side trips along the way.
Normally I'd tow the trailer but it takes longer and I want to be "nimble"
