Driving my Jeep Cherokee around the U.S: Operation Ultimate Phase 1

In Phase 1 of 3, I'll drive this 2001 Jeep Cherokee from Florida to San Diego to save my friend Clay. This video covers the first 7 days, Phase 2 will cover Day 7 - 14, and Phase 3 will cover day 14 - 27.

I spent a few days with Taco in Houston and Galveston Texas, met Trinidad and James in central Texas, investigated Lincoln National Park and White Sands in New Mexico, and some boring border geography in Yuma Arizona.

I started this mission at 274,321 Miles. Will I survive this trip without any mechanical failures? We shall see…

My Cherokee is a 2001 4.0L/ Manual 4wd 2 door, and features in many other videos
