Jeep camping
I did some camping in my Willy's Unlimited this past weekend and had a awesome relaxing time. Found a couple ways to improve my setup but overall it worked great. And yes I removed all trash leaving only my tracks and cold wet ashes.

Just me this time, and there is a water source around 600-700 yards away but I brought 7 gallons with me. As for sleeping I slept in the back of my Jeep with Skeeter Beaters on the back windows. Next time I'm going to run some 550 cord under the tarp for better support.

I sleep in the back of the jeep quite often....either for overnight wheelin' trips or even longer overland type stuff. One of the best things I've done was build a trunk/platform in the back of my JKU. Part of that platform flips forward over the rear seats once they are folded down, and creates a completely flat surface to sleep on.....covering up that big gap we have once the seats are folded down. I'm 6' and stretch completely out back there. Two people can sleep back there comfortably.
I'd also add that it's extremely nice to have a place to keep all my tools as well. Platform is raised 5" from the floor and allows me to carry every tool i need in my "trunk". I have a lock so I also feel safe leaving the jeep parked somewhere in town with no roof or doors while my tools are in there.

I can snap a pic of mine tonight. Generally follows this idea -
Under-Floor Storage - JeepForum.com
I made mine out of 2x6 and plywood. 6" was a little tall for me, so I shaved 1" off it so mine is really 5" tall. I just used the exiting tie down bolts too so I didn't have to drill any holes in the pan.

These aren't great pics as it was dark, and hard to get light in with the top on. It's a little empty right now, but that sucker gets packed full for a wheelin trip. I maybe have $60 in that.....for Plywood, some 2x6, couple L brackets, couple hinges, and some material from joann fabric to pretty it up. When my quadratec rear mat is over it, you can't even tell it's there really. I have a padlock on it just for some extra security when it's full, but even with the top or doors off, that tailgate won't unlock without the fob, and you can't open the top of the trunk unless the tailgate is opened all the way. When I sleep in it, I do put the front passenger seat all the way forward, which allows the rear headrest to flip forward as well. I roll out a 4" egg crate foam I trimmed to shape and it's perfect.

I would love to use some 3/16" diamond plate for the top and part that flips over, but that would have really blown the budget.
