I like to keep things pretty simple, I use two small pads to help fill the gap created when you fold the rear seats forward. For most of my adventures I have at least one of my kids with me, and usually, sleep myself and my two boys comfortably. You have 40 inches of width which means two adults can easily sleep in the back of the Jeep. I am 6’2 and able to sleep in the back of my JKU with no problems. With the seats moved forward you have between 72-74 inches from the tailgate to the back of the front seats pushed forward. In a JKU or JLU (4 door Jeep) you have a lot more cargo space. It’s important to note you would have to sleep on an angle to make this work with your head and feet pushed to the corners. If you are running a 2Door JL with the seats pushed completely forward and sleeping on an angle you have roughly 72inches. The first thing you need to determine is just how much space you are actually working with? This depends on the model of Jeep Wrangler you are running. I also like that if I ever need to leave in a hurry I can quickly pack up and go. This makes setting up camp easier which gives me more time to enjoy the wilderness.

However, in the Jeep, you can park on any surface, and as long as you can get it semi level you have a perfect place to set up for the night.Ĭ. Putting a tent on those surfaces is not only very uncomfortable but hard to keep the tent from blowing away. Sometimes our only option is hard Redrock or extremely rock mountain terrain.
