From NW Louisiana to Moab and back with sights and 9 badges along the way

I did it last year .. Baton Rouge to Tuktoyuktuk, Canada ( Arctic Ocean) .. I took 3 weeks to get there and 5 weeks back through Alaska.

That's awesome. I'll be sure to reach out if I have questions. My wife and I can take about 6 weeks off work, so that would be our limit. I'm glad that you got to really enjoy it, though. If we did the trip, then we'd most likely pull a camper with some moderate off-road capability.

I can't take that much time off from work. But the week I retire we will be headed North!

How many years do you have left?

Eight years.....

On a brighter note, my 2020 JL EcoD is due for service at 97,500 miles. I've got an Amsoil oil analyzation kit coming and will share the results.

Those 8 years will go fast!

Wow! How did you put so many miles on the JL?

Fantastic. I'm on my first oil change with Amsoil MS. We just got back from a 3,000-mile towing trip with the 2020 Ram EcoDiesel. Normally, I would have gone through a quart of Pennzoil platinum in that timeframe. With Amsoil, the oil is still registering in the hash mark on the dipstick!

I changed oil in JT before I left for trip, 4,019 miles and level never moved.
Amsoil Signature Series 5w40.

My wife drives the JL. Her last job was 80 miles round trip 5 days a week. It added up quickly.

When I was in Tuktoyuktuk there was a jeep and bronco with guys from Reserve, La. …. They did round trip in 10 days (they had a week off) Seems too fast imo .. gotta enjoy the unbelievable scenic drive

I think I have missed my time. The thought of tenting for many days at a time sounds painful to me now. I am 74 now and the mornings are just not the same as they were a few years ago. If you can do it now , go now.

There are tents and then there are tents. The cot mounted Swags have come a long way in the arena of tents. Pretty much just the same as getting out of bed in the morning.
