What is a Jeep Purpose-Built and Why These Parts Help in Overlanding
Wrangler Ecodiesel Purchased in early 2020. Outfitting for Overlanding recently completed. Purpose-built means every part is carefully evaluated to provide utility and value without adding unnecessary weight or expense. Wrangler Ecodiesel straight from the factory is 300 to 400 lbs heavier than gas engine models. Without modifications, adding a little gear and a couple people it is almost overweight.
Why The Ecodiesel Platform For My Purpose-Built Overlanding Jeep
Waited 20 years to buy another Jeep. It wasn't till Jeep added a Diesel to the Wrangler that I purchased another. The 3.0 Liter Ecodiesel motor has massive amount of torque. I thought it was a perfect platform for towing our Xventure XV-3 off-road trailer while Overlanding. It has not disappointed. Towing on challenging steep and rocky tracks is not a problem. Great mileage extends range without refueling.
Tire Choice Was A Huge Decision To Make This Jeep Purpose-Built
I knew very little, basically totally confused when it came to tires. Tire research consumed my life for several weeks. Tire sizes are a complicated code confusing to most of us. Tires are expensive and if they don't work you might be stuck till they wear out. The goal picking tires was to fit the theme of a purpose-built Jeep for Overlanding. I wanted a quality tire. good fuel mileage, made in USA. In the end the decision was made to get a narrow (pizza cutter) M/T or mud terrain. Click here to see my tire decision video.
Plastic Bumper Removed Mopar Steel Bumper And Warn Winch Installed
Expensive and heavy but worth it. When you need the winch your really glad you have it. We like camp in less crowded areas. I am often solo Overlanding in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes my wife is with me but we are by ourselves. Winch and a good steel bumper to mount it on our well worth the expense.
Roof Rack Makes Lots Of Sense | Backbone Rack Is Anchored To Roll Bar And Added Interior Supports
Drilling through the roof of a brand new Jeep is nerve racking work! I wanted a roof rack and felt it would be a vital part of a Jeep purpose built for Overlanding. With the Rhino Rack there are no supports to get hung up on the outside of the vehicle. While we waited for our Xventure XV-3 off-road trailer to be built we installed the Maggiolina Roof Top Tent on it.
