512tr Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Did a marathon run with my 'new' MJ last week-end. Was driving from the southern part of Norway to the northern part, where my home place is, I'm working in the south, the distance is 1900 km ( 1200 miles) The Comanche preformed very well during the trip, an average 22 MPG, with GEM top on and loaded with 800lbs. 1.5 hour from home I blew a brake tube in the rear, no big deal, I was able to drive the few miles home, with only one brake circuit. Here’s a picture taken when passing on of the mountains up north, this is exactly on the Artic Circle.

ComancheKid45 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 My Comanche made an 800 mile round Trip this past weekend.....North carolina 2 Pennsylvania and back 8) ....No problems
pingpong Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Back before I went and bought a trailer and tow rig.. I would drive my rig to and from the trail. That changed after we did Tellico this past spring, and I bent both front and rear axle tubes, destroyed my front locker, power steering pump, and Alternator. The road miles were 1137 for the trip, I don't know how to figure the trail miles.. But I used a tank of gas in 2 days. Patrick
Pete M Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 The Caribou are AWESOME! :D I did over 3000 miles to Moab and back this summer. Long trips in the MJ are infinitely better than long trips in the minivan. Jeep on! --Pete
