Tiny house ideas ?

You get 6 feet with the seats down.

Would probably need hole covers in the JK like the JL has to be comfortable.

I'd lay a mattress pad out if I was going to sleep back there.
Still need to fill the gap behind the seats when they fold down. I slept in the back of my JK a few times, stiffed blankets in the void.

That doesn’t seem too bad.

Found a little mud to play in, but the OHV area I was trying to get to was closed :( It’s in a national park/forest, so I don’t know if its closed because of the .gov shutdown or what. No way around the gate and I didn’t have bolt cutters with me.

If it's in a national park, it's due to the .gov shutdown. Good on you for not going in anyway (bolt cutters or whatever). The morans driving in Joshua tree, mowing over the eco system, need to be executed.

Sometimes, it's hard to tell if you're on a trail or not. It's not worth the risk.

The bolded part is a hot topic in my house right now and has both me and my wife really, really pissed at how stupid and inconsiderate people can be. Clearly we are doomed. :doomed:

As Max says all the time, we need a plague.

My wife and I have a lot of fond memories of time spent in Joshua Tree. It's one of the most unique places on this planet. To think there's idiots out there mowing it all over just because they can makes us both really :rage: My wife suggested we round up some friends with firepower and go enforce trail markings.

#1) Freedom top leak @ B-pillar on both sides.
#2) Radiator leak, driver side of radiator.
#3) Driver side axle seal leak.
#4) Stiff turn signal, hard to disengage once engaged.

:popcorn:

Let's see how this goes.
Solution: Don't engage turn signals. No one else uses them.

I noticed it when I drove the 2015 we have here on the lot, back to back with mine. :iono:

Stupid complaint but valid.
Curious to see how they will handle it, their average customer doesn’t come in until the engine is falling out or overheating and someone with OCD level of over 9000, wanting things factory right will be interesting observe.

Thank you. In terms of head shaking, lose your faith in humanity actions, its right up there with looting during natural disasters.

Dang. I didn't know that was happening out in Joshua Tree. Sucks.

Looked the area up, and it's the Cleveland National Forest (wut) so yeah, that's why it was closed off. Bummer. But we should get more rain in a few weeks and hopefully the shutdown is over by then.

I've wheeled and camped there. A lot of fun to be had.
