On the anniversary of my mothers death, I’m done running like Forrest Gump. Been a great adventure with this rig set-up and over the whole trip I managed about 18.5 average towing/not towing. Saw a ton of places and will hit 3 more states on my way back. Time to get back to life. I’ve found what I was looking for……Peace.

My overall experience with the Rubicon/GeoPro has been overwhelmingly positive with not too much to share of disappointments worth mentioning. I love my truck and the use of it in its stock form. Towing/Off Roading/General Driving checked all the boxes for me. Can’t wait for the next adventure to Drummond Island this summer and looking forward to checking more states of the list.

Awesome dude. Sounds like you're doing it right.
Makes me want to get one of those Geopros now.

Nice, exactly what everyone needs a little peace. Sorry about your Mom but sounds like you've found inner peace with it!!!
Thank you. Took a while but my job as a son was done. I had her blessings.

Heartfelt condolences on your loss. Nobody loves you like your mom. My Jeep became mine a year ago today. My Mom had died of cancer and said before she passed that I should get that Jeep I always wanted when my sister and I sell her house. I'd driven old pickups my whole adult life and had never had a new vehicle. I'd love to take such a road trip in mine, but own a retail store that I am at 5 days a week. Maybe one day I can pull off an abbreviated version.

I hope you get the chance. I’m sorry for your loss as well. The trip was so worth it.

Thanks man! No plans, no destination and no expectations.
Love it! Can’t have too many let downs or disappointments with that outlook. Take it as it comes, and enjoy the journey!

There's something about a jeep that does that. Help someone find peace. That other vehicles and 'things' just can't do. I share you feelings. Years ago went through a rough time, traded my at the time brand new vehicle in for a 5 year old Jeep - TJ. It changed my life around. Sorry for your loss but also super glad you found peace. Now on to the next chapter, and dont let the weight of the world bring you back down. Keep exploring.

Thanks. The whole reason for the trip was to find myself. Grief is horrible and the road was my guide. Thanks again for the kind words. Just pulled in the driveway and glad to be home. I am settled for a new beginning. My Jeep certainly moved it along.
