I should note that my Jeep is only used for adventure now (along with the teardrop trailer of course.) Aside from a trip like that, it sits in the garage under the status of extremely car light.

Actually my commitment to commute on bike has been the best thing to enhance the purpose of the Jeep, because as a daily driver it gets 15mpg tops. Yes, there was a conflict there that never sat right with me or my wallet. But now as they say, it is what it is, adventure only.
