I'm rigged a lot like you but I go on a budget. I fold down the rear seat and put a piece of plywood down to extend it and flatten it out, then a 4" mattress from Amazon and a sleeping bag. I only go for about 6 days so I carry a conventional ice chest. I use GAIA and carry the Garmin too.
That is a about like my first overlanding set up. My first upgrade was a 300 WH lithium battery pack and 20 quart, 12 volt fridge. You don't need a lot of stuff to to overland, enjoy the journey and just have fun.
About to head to Moab with my '21 JLUR for a similar experience with some overnights planned in the wilderness. The mosquito net (just ordered it!) may be a lifesaver. Thank you, sir!
This is the exact kind of minimalist approach I like to take to doing this. Do you have any specific way you keep water on hand besides in the fridge? Thank you for sharing!
I carry four, one gallon containers of water in the passenger floor well. I like these small jugs, they are easy to handle, don't take up much space and can be refilled. But since they are cheap and readily available at Walmart and grocery stores, I usually just buy a replacement jug from a grocery store when I am in town. I have found that they are easier to store and easier to handle than a 5 gallon jerry can style container. Have fun and good luck with your build.
I have a Rubicon with the aux switch panel - I wired the battery pack to switch #1 which is a 40 amp circuit. The switch wiring is under the dash, easy wiring job.
I’m going to borrow a couple of ideas there. I’m still tweaking my minimalist setup. Would you still have your stock gap filler and bracket by chance? I took mine out of our Rubicon and put it in my Sahara which was the main overland Jeep so I could sleep in it. I had to sell it last minute and the filler panel went with it. I should’ve grabbed it.
How wide is your sleeping area? I've been thinking of doing this but I need some measurements please sir. Total width of the jeep,width of fridge,and the man sized hole would be perfect!
My Goose Gear Platform is 58-inches wide in the front and 44-inches wide in the rear. My DeepSleep mattress is 26 -inches wide, which leaves me about 18-inches for my fridge, which is 13-inches wide.
Love and agree with your setup. No need for massive battery systems.
simple works
Great set up Sir! Simple, it works… see you on the trail
Thanks 👍

Are you sure you don't want to install Dual Snorkels on your rig. I hear it is all the rage in Europe and especially in Bavaria.
think i'll pass on that one

I love your setup. Is your battery unit wired to the Jeep’s battery? If not, how do you recharge it so that the refrigerator is always powered?
I have a Rubicon with the aux switch panel - I wired the battery pack to switch #1 which is a 40 amp circuit. The switch wiring is under the dash, easy wiring job.
Thanks for going through this. Curious to what grill guard you have, is that a warn mid? How are you liking the auxbeam pod lights?
Yes it is a Warn and I have had the Auxbeam pod lights for a year, no problems and I like them.

I saved mine but I will need it when I sell my Jeep, sorry.
Great set up! What did you use to mount your 10" ipad?
CMM Offroad 1-inch, grab handle, ball mount, a 6-inch Ram arm and a Ram iPad mount. cmmoffroad.com.
Really good stuff... Was that the Wedge Overlook?
no, that was one of my 5 special campsites that I don't I don't give out the locations for, sorry.

What brand is your front bumper? Thanks.
Mopar steel bumper with removable end caps, Warn Bull bar - steel bumper option came with the Jeep.
Which bug nets on Amazon do you have?
I have had them for 3 years, can't find the amazon order but the storage bag says - Qualizzi Mottors - rectangular 40x28-inches.
