Ok, so 2 months ago this wouldn't have been so bad, but now I am spolied in my new X. It's smooth ride, non-flapping top, pretty much noise free interior has spoiled me.

My father is buying my jeep off of me and so I have to get it to southern Indiana. 12 hour drive from here to Indiana on Sunday just me alone, then a 4 hour ride with the sister in law up to my wifes parents, from there a 9 hour drive back home with the in-laws and sister in-law. (Luckily I like them). Needless to say 24 hours in 3 days isn't much fun to me when half are in a 4 banger wrangler that doesn't like to go over 70mph.

It's no MC trip though.

I am done whining now.

Thank God I didn't have to make that kind of trip when I sold my 85 Land Cruiser. That only time that thing hit 70 was when it was going downhill!

Well, It is to you. Going by what you are used to that is a lot of driving.
I'm used to 750 a day in a truck with trailers and 1000+ a day in an auto. That last trip was my record for miles in as many days. I only slept like 3 hours a day 4 once or twice.

I hope it all goes well, Man what a difference that is going to be, going from quiet X to windy Jeep. At least you won't have to sit in the back seat eh? LOL whew!

Safe trip, stay out of the no zone, Jeeps hide good there!

i made a trip like that with my 84 CJ7....a big part of what made me sell it :) DC to southern Florida.

My record is going from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Ocala, Florida with 5 hours of sleep. I was hauling horses, and I couldn't really stop for a long time. It was exhausting, both physically and mentally.

ya got the jeep thing down. gotta luv it till ya get an x. i didnt no what a radio was for in the jeep! maybe you could tow it behind the x with the rf jammin just kiddn good luck and have a safe trip

I drove 15 hours to North Carolina (with 4 hours of sleep), set up camp at midnight, wheeled the next day from 9 am to 6 pm; the next day drove 13.5 hours back home.

The good thing, I was in my X :cheers:

I didn't feel the need to ask my pal to drive.

This was in my Pathfinder, not my Xterra:
"Since leaving the Beaver Lake recreation site on the morning of the 17th, after putting on my spare tire, I covered 2,732 kilometers in just over 60 hours, which includes time spent getting a new tire in Fort Nelson, rest stops, eating, sleeping, and stops to look at the scenery and take pictures."

When i left Florida i drove from miami to illinios straight! no SLEEP!
I hated FL so much! 23 hours straight! I started to see things while
i was driving, kinda freaked me out but kept trucking. i drive now from 1000 to 2500 a week, including service work. It might be better to become a truck driver. I hate when i get home at 5pm, then have to drive 3 hours to go to a sevice call for COKE USA (on call). BTW i'm a service tec for Coke, Kraft, and Bunn.

well, I made it there in 10 hours and 50 minutes, not sure how I cut time off the drive in my Jeep, maybe it was in my stops. I only stopped to refuel and use the john. 3 stops in all. Not bad.

I rode back up with the in laws which was a 9 hour drive from their house and slept most of the way, felt like about 2 hours in the car :drunken:
