We have a 96 Cherokee and an 01 Yukon XL 2500. The Jeep is great for trips of a couple hours but we have 3 kids under 5 so for the longer stuff we take the Yukon with our 17' TT.

I voted minivan because I've actually taken it on the closest thing that could be called an "overland" trip - lots of highway with some sketchy forest service roads.
But I've grown up with minivans since I was a young lad, and I REALLY appreciate the huge interior volume, and now that I am the one paying for the gas, I don't mind how economical it is either.

My wife and I just have one child right now, but working on no. 2 and maybe no. 3 n the future. For 2 kids, either of my XJ's (one lifted on 33's, the other stock) will be the preferred option if we go off-highway. My wife is what I would consider overly cautious with our son right now, so the off-highway trips will likely be kept to a minimum for a few years still...

Everywhere I go, his eyes keep followin' me...

I loved that show.

I know, right? I think we've all had a Firefly moment showing a new project vehicle to the wife.

Let me show you the rest. And-and try to see past what she is and onto what she can be.
... What's that, sir?
Freedom is what.
... I meant, what's *that*?
Oh, yeah, just step around that. I think something must have been living in here.

Fix her up some, get her working again, find a pilot...

....so she's not running now?

Not so much.

Firefly. One of the best shows ever made. Great writing, brilliant cast, excellent production quality, engaging characters, but mostly the writing.

Here is a clip that includes the lines we were quoting:

Don't forget the cheese factor! It was a show that was very willing to not take itself seriously. The whole totally-forget-the-steadycam thing, racking zoom and focus, having something happen and the camera has to pan super fast to catch it as if the cameraman missed his mark...

Aside, do you watch Castle? In a Halloween episode, Nathan's character got into his Malcom Reynolds getup. They asked him what he was supposed to be, and he said, "I'm a space cowboy." There were Captain Stretchypants references, and his daughter told him to let it go, that happened years ago and it's time to move on.

Absolutely. I laughed long and hard. My wife just looked at me. Sigh....
