Did a cross country trip from San Diego to Nashville, took three days. But on the way back drove straight fron Nashville to San Diego continuos, only to stop for gas.

I'm on 37's and 3.73 manual. Was a lot of fun and would do it again.

8-10 hours roundtrip on pavement in a day all the time because that's what it takes for me to get to my favorite desert locations and sometimes I just go out for a few hours. The gas mileage is another story...

I did 9800kms from Calgary, AB to just north of the Mexico border and back, including wheeling in Moab, in a week and a half. My 2012 jk has 33's and had a BDS 3" lift at the time (swapped out for metal cloak now). I had my soft top on during this trip, i would recommend a hard top for sure (wind noise). The jk is a sweet road trip vehicle in my opinion.

Default Our 6500 mile trip

In 2012 we did the JK Experience doing 6500 miles in our JK.





A dream come true was getting to do a lap on the Indy Motor speedway
