Hey gang,
I'm planning a trip to Big Bend NP/SP in late December and was trying to decide if I should drive my new (to me) stock 2001 WJ or my rough and ready 1995 ZJ that has a 2" lift, 31x10.50s, winch bumper, attachments points, etc. I'll be driving from Chattanooga TN and the WJ would be SO much nicer on the highway, but the ZJ would be infinitely better if there is any real off road in the parks. The WJ only has 70,000 miles on it with street tires, and the ZJ has 185,000 hard miles with a fair amount of shimmies and driveline vibration.
The WJ is meant for highway trips and my 90 mile round trip commute, so I don't want to lift and and wheel it much. If all the roads are just dirt roads and not really trails, it would be fine.
My plan is to remote camp as much as possible.
Thanks for the advice!
