Any one got ideas, pictures, ext, for a good in between Overlander and Rockcrawler and to make matters worse ITS MY DAILY DRIVER
Also it's just me going. My friends always take there trucks and I havent found a Mrs. Slob

 

So...just so we're clear, you're looking for suggestions for modifying your Jeep to allow you the overland, as well as some rock crawling, without any mods that will interfere with your ability to DD your Jeep?

If so, here's what I'd do.

Mid width bumpers front and rear, with a tire carrier that will hold jerry cans or Kolpin cans.
Flat or pocket fenders to get tire coverage
OME LT lift (3 inches), with driveshafts if required
9500 pound winch up front with synthetic line
35X12.5R17 radial MT tires (Toyos or Duratracs for my money), wit h regear to 4.88 or 5.13
Upgraded sliders, diff covers, and evap canister skid
CB radio and maybe a 2 meter rig
ARB compressor
In-vehicle storage system that's suited to the type of overland travel that you're looking for

That should get you started.

 

Thats it exactly! Alot of that stuff I already have. 4 inch lift and tires where on it when I bought it. My rear bumper isnt a tire carrier and that doesnt bother me but any ideas how to carry gerry cans?

 

Any of the vehicles that can complete a JK Experience fits your description. I have done two and my rig is my daily driver. The last one was the JKX "Main Event" and from my driveway to the event, the event itself, and back to my driveway it was just shy of 3000 miles. Some drove from North Carolina and Alberta, Canada.

W squared is right on the money. I too have my Jeep becoming an overlander and a bit of a crawler. I'd suggest a lift and at least Rubicon gearing for power and efficiency. A decent lift and 33s or 35s is good. If you cannot get everything in your Jeep, get a roof rack. Or, buy or design a system of inside storage, but maybe make it easy to install and remove since it's a DD. A compressor is pretty much a must, and a Jerry can holder or two as well. Have an in dash or strong mounted GPS. Also, a CB, water storage (on the second jerry can mount) and tools with basic medical supplies. Ty wraps, adjustable wrenches, and good rope can go a long way for overlanding and crawling. Don't forget a winch, skid plates, bumpers and tire carrier, and a hi lift. Army surplus boxes as well as pelican and hardigg cases are great investments for packing up gear. Good lights are helpful too, as well as a portable table and flip down tailgate mod.
Hope this helps!

 

You could go with the Or-Fab spare tire carrier/gerry can carrier.
Lot's of folks on here have one.
It's on my list.

 

This helps alot! thanks guys. I know now what I want to do with my JK and know now I am really far from getting there
But maybe one day My JK and my funds will be ready for a total epic adventure like the JKX

 

That's exactly what I run for a spare carrier. Because the type of wheeling we do is really more "overlanding" (hate that term!) with the goal of being able to adventure to areas only possible with seriously built rigs for some incredible rock crawling mixed in over the course of two or three days or even a week plus at a time, all while being self supporting. The OR-Fab allows me to carry enough fuel for safely getting there and back with enough range to find a fuel point in between.

 

I just looked up that or-fab tire carrier. wow! I have never actually seen a tire carrier that doesnt conect to an after market bumper that thing is awesome. thanks guy!

 

The Or-Fab is cool for sure. Another option if you're looking to haul fuel, water, and cargo is the LOD bumper/tire carrier combo. I don't know if you're in a 2 door or 4 door, or how light you tend to pack...but when you're overlanding, extra cargo space is almost always a good thing. I know that camping gear, food, refreshments, gas, tools, and recovery gear for a 4 day trip (myself and a buddy) fills most of my 4 door. I could definitely save some space by packing lighter, but being comfortable is a good thing
