3000k mile trip, From Texas to Pennsylvania, from Pennsylvania to Gatlinburg TN, home
 
I took this trip back in the beginning of August, but I didnt get the pics till today. My girlfriend had the pics on her laptop, and has had it pretty tied up

My parents drove my dad's 02 TJ, equiped with 3.5" RE lift, detroit locker rear, 4.88 gears, and some other doodads.

First pic is at the info center on the border of TX, and AK
