Hello all, I found this place looking for info on lifting/overlanding a Nissan Juke, of all things.

My actual "offroad" (camping, hunting) vehicle is a mostly stock 1988 Ford Bronco II that has passed back and forth between my dad and myself over the past 20 years, and after he died in 2016 my mom let me have it for good. I'll eventually get around to building it into a proper overlanding rig, but for now I'm more focused on my 2016 Juke SV AWD. I've seen videos and posts of it set up for mild offroading/rally/overlanding, and I'm interested in making it more capable than it is right now. It's a great on-road vehicle especially in bad weather, it has two driver-selectable AWD modes as well as 2WD, and overall it's just great looking (in my opinion, I know it has haters).

Anyway, I hope I can both contribute to and learn from this community. Thanks!

Welcome Morgan, I live in west Cobb County. I am new to Overlanding also. I am building a 05 Grand Cherokee for my overlander, but parts are hard to come by these days. I look forward to possibly seeing you on some trails.

Hi Scott! Sounds like we are neighbors, I'm very close to the West Cobb area.

I've had a 1996 Grand Cherokee before, a Laredo with the full time 4WD system. It was a great truck apart from the crankshaft sensor that constantly broke, it was the only reason I got rid of it.
