As the name suggests, i've got a jeep and i've had it for about 10 years. It's had quite a few modifications done it over the many years. Before that i had a nissan dual cab that we took to fraser and a few places. We've been all over the place with the jeep and many a time i've wished i've had a scope with me. I need to get something a little more portable than my 10" dob for camping trips but we camp on the beach a fair bit and that's not the best spot for a scope... unless you like rusty scopes
Getting some experience with others is a great way to learn what not to do. Also being self reliant for recoveries is something you should aim for etc winch, hi-lift jack, Maxtrax
