I’m in a Tacoma, and used to have a JKU.
I’ve learned that my travel/camp adventures are solo. I’ve learned I like simple food on the trail. I’ve learned I don’t enjoy rock crawling as much as I like 4x4 roads and trails. I’ve learned that sometimes my camp isn’t in the wild.
So, I’d go with a wagon or SUV I can sleep in. I’d ditch the tent. I’d keep the 12v fridge and ditch the solar panels - just charge a second battery off the alternator. I’d switch to an induction hot plate, away from the stove. And I’d keep my portable toilet with wag bags. I’d keep my extra fuel in Wavian jerry cans. And I’d switch back to Reliance water cans.
Bottom line, because I’m more familiar and comfortable with my overlanding self, my rig and load out would be simpler and more discreet.
