Part 7: How’d the Jeep do on the trip, and ever since?

THE 2020 ULTIMATE ADVENTURE LONG RANGE JEEP

It’s hard to believe that we started this Ultimate Adventure Long Range Jeep (UALRJ) build about a year ago. The idea is one we’ve been thinking about building for years, and finally the stars aligned to make the project happen. The concept is simple and could be applied to many a Jeep model. Why not take the iconic look of a World War II British SAS Jeep from the North Africa Campaign, a Jeep with a storied past, that inspired many in the military, in movies, and in the television show The Rat Patrol, and bring it into the 21st century?

We would be using some of the best aftermarket parts engineered for these types of rigs and a collection of some of the best OEM parts. The plan was to keep it simple and build a Jeep that pays homage to the vehicles that helped win the war. Build a Jeep that looks the part but would perform with the advantage of nearly 80 years of off-road performance enhancements. Create a Jeep a WWII veteran would love to have been able to use during the war. In the end,we hoped to have a capable and unique Jeep that does all that we need it to with plenty of space, comfort, good range, and more.

The best part of the plan is everything we did is easy to emulate. Easy to re-create for you, the Four Wheeler reader. Of course, you could easily add your own spin to the idea and build a rig, like ours, inspired by other 4x4s, that reflects your own ideas and needs. That’s what we did, and while it wasn’t always easy in a time of pandemic,it’s all something that could be duplicated.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
