Had to pop in the comments right away to tell you that your music taste is amazing! Going to finish the video now to explore more info on building my XJ into a overlanding rig.

I have a 96 ZJ (268k) with a similar cocept, slept in it for a full year (at 69 years old) traveled across the US multiple times and definitely understand (and like) much of your reasoning. Best thing you have (besides a great attitude) is Grampa's knives (just because) AND that Constitution! It may just be your most valuable tool. Hang tough, EXPLORE, and keep up the good work, appreciate the vid.

I love it... you sincerely have thought of everything feasible in that space. I drive the same Jeep for my "getting around town" vehicle. It is my favorite car I've ever owned. People are always begging me to sell it to them. Mine is 5 speed and gets me through the tightest spots... lol. My son just got a newer one and we were talking about going camping in our Jeeps. Your videos came up so I SUBSCRIBED. I appreciate everything you have done here and all of the thought you have put into so many things! ❤❤❤ God be with you brother!!

I have almost all the same old cassette tapes. My 99 Cherokee daily driver has more stuff in it than you do 🙂 All organized in containers of course. I once did what you're doing in an 86 CJ-7. Good times. What's good is you can easily rearrange everything anytime you want.

If you can spending the money on some ceramic window tint, it would go a long way in temp control and light control. It's one of those upgrades you don't think about until you have it. Then it goes to the top of your list afterwards.
