The Rigs
"G.C."
GC is a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trail Hawk. She has the 5.7 liter Hemi, Quadralift suspension, 265/65 R18 BFG All Terrains, and a full complement of Mopar and aftermarket skid plates. Chief Products rock rails, Off Road Animal pre-runner style front bumper and hidden winch mount, and a Warn Evo 12-S winch running synthetic cable. She has plenty of oomph to pull our trailer over any obstacle and the smooth ride makes the long hauls between trails a joy, rather than something to endure.
​
Future modifications include a rack, rear bumper skid, enough lights to look like a locomotive on the trail, and a snorkel. The inside will stay mostly stock with the exception of a platform for Piper to ride on, a midland GMRS radio, and perhaps a dual-battery system.
"Green Monster"
The Green Monster started it all! She is a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport that we bought new in April of 2007. Today, she has just over 180K miles on her and is still running the factory 3.8 liter mini-van engine Chrysler chose to um... "grace" her with and breathing fresh air through an ARB snorkel. The gears have been swapped out for 5:13s turning 35inch Goodyear Wrangler MTRs. With the weight of all the skid plates, front and rear bumpers, and pulling a 4K lb trailer, she runs a HUGE aFe radiator that keeps her running down the road. The list of mods goes on and on, so you'll have to check out the Blog to see it all.
​
The Green Monster is a member of the family, has taken us everywhere we've asked her to go (except over Iron Chest) and brought us safely home!
"Moby"
"A home away from home, including everything AND the kitchen sink," is how we describe our 2016 Moby1 XTR. This go-anywhere off road teardrop has followed our Jeep Wrangler over many a rugged trail. Moby rides on 33in BFG All Terrains, Fox shocks, has a 36 gallon water tank with on-demand hot water, an air conditioner, heater, shower, and TONS of storage. The CVT tent comfortably sleeps two and can sleep 4... but they have to all REALLY like each other. A CU Off Road hitch allows unrestricted articulation and at 2200 lbs dry, this girl trailers like a dream.
​
The kitchen is Terri's playground with a two-burner stove, sink, lots of prep space, and room for our Engel fridge/freezer. There is truly a place for everything and digging through tubs and bins in an attempt to find the rice is a thing of the past.
​
Oh, and by the way, it is for sale.
