Let's Go Camping!!!!!!

I also hate toppers.  That's kind of why I brought up the canvas topper idea.  Like this one. http://www.softopper.com/jeep-comanche-soft-top-truck-cap-details.aspx

You can fold that one forward and they even sell a cover/storage bag to hold it together when it is folded up.  Honestly, if I didn't have a long bed I would get one of those.  It's a heck of a lot cheaper than another canvas topper that I found, and I don't think that one even folds up.

That's bad as hell! Looking into that one for sure!

I have a short bed, so a topper would make it look funky. When I had one on my long bed diesel Ram.... that actually looked alright.

You did not say how many others are going with you.  I am thinking there will be one or two vehicles and the company is not providing a truck?  Personally, you should take the Grand Cherokee and tow a trailer for your supplies. You said the Grand Cherokee is dead reliable so you can ditch several hundred pounds of spares and tools "just in case".

 

False. False. False. I don't care how realiable any car/truck is. Ever heard the expresions "$#!& happens" and "I would rather have it and not need it. Then need it and not have it."

That is just wrong and bad advice.

 

I was going to suggest the truck 'bed' thing Impluse said.

I'd take the MJ unless you want ten years of dust inside the ZJ.

:agree:  Sounds like the ZJ is a little nicer...worried about trail damage? :dunno:

Lol not at all. The ZJ has actually pulled service as a support/chase vehicle during a couple of races. Dust does not phase it, and the body is far from cherry. I do cleanbit VERY well onba semi regular basis and I'm quite surprised with the uni-body's toughness andbdurability. The hatch still opens and closes without scrapingband the dash sits tight on the firewall, despite all the high speed bumps and jumps it's soaked up...
