I run the same way in my Suburban. Inside it's 50" wide 8' long to the back of the front seats. Always ready no setup/breakdown rooftop tent in bad weather. No folding up wet and unfold at home so it will dry. Plenty of room for two...and 3K in my pocket not buying a RTT. Nice start 👍

Man, I love the color on that Jeep! So good.

Similar to the way I run my Wrangler JKU. I appreciate the simplicity. Not everyone wants to mess with a lot of gear or gourmet cooking.

I really like the simplicity of this setup, especially for a quick overnighter. No tent to mess with, no wet stuff to dry out, etc. Also loving the color of the jeep like someone else mentioned. Can't wait for the new mods and announcements 😀

Nice, simple set up. I run the same way sleeping in the back of my 2015 JKU. I use a Coleman single height air mattress from Walmart. Cost me around $35.00 and has lasted me for over 3 years now. Recently did a Death Valley trip, wind gusts at night were +40 mph. I slept soundly the whole night, my buddies in RTT and ground tents had a rough night with their tents flapping in the wind. Looking forward to more adventures.

I do a ton of SAR’s work which requires me to use a Jeep JLU as a daily driver. I use your Deep Sleep Solo Mat, Trench Cover & Screens. I pack it under a Tuffy Deluxe Security Deck along with a Dometic GO Jug, Titian Deep Freeze 36L Cooler, eShower Popup bathroom and my loaded backpack which has three days of long shelf life food in a Little Sami Bear Canister. I keep a Nemo chair under the 40% of the rear seat I don’t fold down and I put a Goose Gear Tailgate Table on the Jeep for meal prep and to use as a map desk. With this set up all I have to do on my way to a call out is get gas, ice and fill the water jug. Yet during my daily commute it just looks like an unpacked Jeep if anyone looks in as I hang nothing on the outside. I too use OnX Off Road and eventually I need to add a dual battery system, on board air and the Long Range America Aux Gas Tank; again items that increase the Jeep’s SARS capabilities but will go unnoticed when parked after my daily commute or at a remote Trailhead. This also preserves the Jeep’s ability to carry me and four passengers. While I love the tricked out full “Overlander” look with a lift, larger tires, RTT etc. all that attracts attention and everyone I know who has a vehicle like that has to constantly be on guard for theft or stuff falling off. I get ribbed that my vehicle looks like something a “Soccer Mom” would drive but my stock 2022 Willys Sport with the 6sp manual gets me constantly out to rescues of supposedly far more capable vehicles. And once there I’m fully capable of camping for 60hrs which is a normal evolution. I’m way closer to 70 than 60 and I tell folks all the time - “We’re out here to help folks, we’re not an army invading Colorado!”

I love the way you speak so clearly ❤

We sleep in the back of our Rubicon JKU when camping. The one thing we have to change to keep warm is to use a foam mattress instead of an air mattress. It is super cold with the air pocket.

I run a similar set up in my JKUR because I like to get up and go. For added storage, I used the Milwaukee pack out system with the mounting bracket. Keeps everything contained and not bouncing around when on the trail. I also have a shelf towards the rear of the rig for additional storage.

You're doing the right thing keeping moving forward don't stand still

Love the jeep, go nuts with it. There are more parts and accessories for jeeps than you will ever need.

The vegetable cracker makes a nice coaster. 🙂 I'm a bit more set up, but not much... I have the Trailgater tailgate table.(A MUST HAVE..I just got mine..pricy, but a Big help), 45q Setpower fridge, the same jackery as you. Jetboil stove and jetboil. and that's about it. All that stuff fits in the front, so there is still room for 2 to sleep inside. Also, I have the Rhino roof rack if we bring a tent. Oh, I also bring a small rug so I can keep sand or dirt out of the Jeep

I like how you kept it simple with the MRE, kinda like in your backpack and hiking days, way to keep it O.G!! I hope all is going well for you and the family brother!

I camp at Sand Lake a lot, as well as down in Florence. 15psi in my Power Wagon will take it anywhere at relatively low speed. Nice little spots out there in the sand, if you don’t mind the ATV’s buzzing around. See you out there sometime!

That's how I have my suburban setup and love it!

Nice video Edward, the jeep set up looks good so far and looking forward to more adventures with dusty. TFS 🥰🚙👊

MRE's I had my fill since the Marine Corps. However, you can't go wrong for the convivence!

Have you heard of the Ursula minor rooftop tip for a Jeep. I just saw one on KZfaq and it would be almost the same idea you have now by staying inside the Jeep. The gentleman was saying it's about the same prices of roof rack in a rooftop tip but it comes with attachments for awnings, solar panels, and gear

When I was in the army the saying was Kiss keep it simple stupid you never know when you have to pack up and leave in a hurry. Enjoy it with your family while you can because there will come a day when your body gets a little wore out and you can't do as much as you used to. I enjoy watching your videos and thinking about the good times in the past. The nice thing about your setup is bad weather really won't bother you much and if you get in a tough situation where you leave in a hurry there will be no problems.

Whoo, first!

Looks like you had door nets to get air flow into the jeep without bugs, how did that work out? Also, if not planning a rooftop tent, I would suggest you get a RucRak instead for outboard storage. Roof racks are expensive not only for initial cost, but ongoing as well due to the 2 to 3 mpg hit you take. Adding onto the back doesn’t really impact mpg and only impacts usable departure angle in the most extreme rock crawling situations when deployed (but it can impact it). Anyway, thought you might want to check it out. I have one and find it really useful.

always good when I get a notification for your channel

Nice. Looking forward to the jeep set up. I miss mine. I regret selling it.

Love that MRE! Oh man they got Twizlers in that now?! That’s worth money overseas haha! All that is better than balut hahaha!

Oh that’s a very different purpose that you plan to use your Jeep for than I use mine. I responded before watching your full channel. I’m doing what I nick named “jeepacking”. I’m using the Jeep to augment NPS Mules to get my gear in closer to where I’m starting to backpack in the rest of the way. I at times utilize the Jeep’s 4WD capabilities during bad weather on rural or dirt forest service roads to bring supplies in or rotate searchers out but my Jeep is a “tool of my trade”; and I’m not wheeling with it for fun. Going back fifty years to when I was in the Army Jeep’s were always a utility platform for work. LOL, when I want to be outside having fun I play golf!

haha! the legendary chili Mac!

Chili Mac my favorite mre

@1:13 of your entry into the sand, you passed up a free flag whip. I started going to Sand Lake with my ATV's and baja back in 1992 and over the years I have collected dozens of these flag whips. Broken , fully intact and everything in between. They come in handy for folks that show up for the weekend and clearly forgot or did even know they needed one. I provided them for free. Haven't been to Sand Lake in several years since I got into kayak fishing in the ocean. I need to get my Taco out there for some camping.

I have been considering the coast/sand dunes for some camping this winter. I also usually carry MRE's and Mountain House meals for an easy no-brainer meal. That cheese spread stuff makes for a rough meal though, not my favorite

P.S. I forgot to mention that having the Tuffy Security Deck allows me to stack all the gear I carry under it on top of it at night so I can slide the sleeping mat & bag out fully. I place my backpack on the 40% of the rear seat I don’t food down. That allows me to sleep off the ground and in the morning there is no camp breakdown. Not in actuality is there any camp set up as many times if I know I’ll be getting to camp late I roll out the sleep system, leave some gear under 1/2 the deck and/or seat belt it into the non-folded rear ssst or on to the passenger seat. I the leave my boots off and just head out in driving moccasins so once I get there I don’t even have to get out if the weather is bad. Just climb between the front seats, slide into bed with an empty Gator Aid bottle for latter and deal with the reality of the situation in the morning!

You literally went right by my place on Galloway Road! If I had known I would have said hi.

Very cool bud! Looks like a great quick trip rig.

Great vid🎉

Every week upload new video... Always waiting for the notifications...... From India 🇮🇳

I named my street sweeper, Pig Pin. Working in heavy highway construction milling and paving asphalt shit gets hella dirty.

Yay!

Jalapeno cheese is like gold in the field.

Great video, thank you.

Have you seen the Jeep extension that epic family road trip has? Forget what's it's called but adds 18" length and a pop top

Looks cozy

Similar setup on my 4Runner, what air compressor you got?

nice rig brother!

Congrats on the Jeep, looks like it would be an easy stealth camper and what's the word on shadow

I’d advise to air up after getting out of the sand.

Like your sweatshirt.

I've always thought Rizzo would be a great name for a jeep. Why aren't the flags on the front of the vehicle?

Where can I get a pole and flag from?

civilians: I brought an MRE military guys: I rather eat sand

The cummins did really well. How? considering it is so heavy

Booooooo! I like "Tanny" better than "Dusty". ;)

Then you have Ghost and Shadow.

I want to get one i am 18 and I got 35k saved up which models you suggest me to buy ?

How did you mount the flag?

what is the camera your using? thank you

When did you buy a jeep?

What model mattress did you buy because I don’t see one for jeep?

You in military navy ?

How are you liking the JL?

I mount my flag on the front bumper so they see my flag before my grill cresting dunes or hills.

申，你好，请问这辆车打算改装吗？？如果改装会是什么时候？

Change name, from Dusty to “Ghost”. Aka Ghost Rubicon.

These powdered foods experiment was 😅😢!

Brother I hope your doing well, I haven't dropped you a note for some time now. If I remember correctly it was when you were looking for a cover for your RAM 🐏 and I suggested the smart cap... I believe that the time ⏲️ is now to drop you another note. I'm not happy with the jeep, don't get me wrong l like jeeps but not on your channel. Their are 1000s of jeep channel out their but very few full size pickup trucks 🛻 overlanding channels. I follow you because of your great content on full size overlanding mods and adventures.. I know your going to switch back and forth between rigs but it's hard to do and keep your full size followers... Just one overland man's opinion... The Banks boys

So what’s up with crypto? DAMN😩😩😩😩
