I've pointed out a few Fozzies to her among other vehicles, but the choice will be hers. I've also thought of a low dollar Foz for my next "beater" vehicle once my rusty and trusty 98 cavalier finally gives up the ghost.

For those of us who don't know, what is the jug on the left with the hose that is hooked to the gas cap for? or am I seeing a water jug with a sip hose and a gas cap vent hose?

That is an ATV gas tank saddle bag that is holding my 40oz insulated water bottle. I got a second lid for it, drilled through, installed a barbed fitting, hose down into the bottle and an old hydration pack hose up to my face. Makes drinking much easier off road.
When I carried my beer in it, I'd keep the normal lid on:

SilveradoTX, Thank you for the kind words.
With the motto: "It doesn't matter what you drive", I figured I would be welcome here at Overland Bound.
Cheers, TR

My Ford Escape named Rusty. I bought her for my Mom back in '03, then bought back from her in 2011 for five bucks. She babied it, though Northern Minnesota Winters and a crappy Ford clearcoat left her with some cosmetic flaws. She's super comfy to sleep in, even at -7F, and my long hauler for exploring the backwoods routes from Idaho to MN most of the year, plus keeps the miles low on the Jeeps.

Great looking vehicles here in a few weeks I'm hoping to finish what I have started on the renegade I want to add rotopax just not sure where to put them
Experimenter I
Side of a roof basket or hitch basket. I'll tell ya it comes in handy when the vehicle rolls off the assembly line with a shot glass for a fuel tank. On the last fishing trip with my buddy that has the renegade, an extra 5 gallons came in handy for the 500 mile each way drive. We carried it on a hitch basket but if you go that route make sure you find a hitch that isn't low to the ground.
Also, make sure you have a fuel funnel, instead of a gas cap to keep dirt out they have a series of sliding doors that didn't always cooperate with the standard gas can nozzle.
I'm getting my tires and spacers in a couple days I will post pics as soon as they're on
