Update, we rebuilt the transmission. I added hood louvers to it. I have taken 3 road camping trips across the United States in this jeep. With the exception of the water cooler if it didn't fit under the tonue cover we didn't need it. As of July 2017 the kid and I had tent camped all 48 continental states in a jeep. I do plan on driving to Alaska at some point, however driving to Hawaii is clearly out of the question.
