A lot of people recently have been asking about my build.  I bought a 2015 Wrangler Sport in June of 2018 with 55k miles. It’s my second Jeep and my first Wrangler.  In the fall of 2018 I started camping with it and camped with gear I already had.  Late in the fall of 2018 I decided to do a six month mission trip in my Jeep to do outreach to the homeless in 30 cities and overland between each city. The take off date was June 6th of 2019. Majority of the build was done in the spring of 2019. Prior to the build I did various test trips with my Jeep to Quebec, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Niagara Falls, Tennessee & Key West.  After these test trips I knew exactly what was needed for the build.  From the beginning of my build it was always about making sure gear would not go to far above the sidewalls of that cargo area so I could overland with the rear windows out or the top down.

I’m a Pastor and my Jeep is equipped to do church services without needing 110v power. On my 6 month trip I did church services in Alaska, Skid Row (LA) and Key West.  So not everybody needs all the gear I have. The trip was a complete success and returned December 1st. I did outreach in 46 cities and gave out blankets, hygiene kits, food and clothes to the homeless in cooperation with Jeep and off road clubs in each city. Roadtrip was over 27,000 miles and I visited 34 states. No major problems with the Jeep and I saw some pretty rugged terrain.  I lived in the Jeep for 21 days on my way to Alaska from Denver. The only thing I added during the trip was a Superchips Flascal, Garmin InReach Mini, SureCall Cell Boaster and 2 traction tracks.

Most of my build is because of very generous friends, family, donors and sponsors. Thank you!  Here it is...
