    2017 JK Recon

    What direction are you planning to go with the Jeep? I have a rather heavy Wrangler with a roof top tent and because of that I used Old Man Emu HD springs front and rear. With all the weight it still came out closer to a 3" lift. I paired that with Bilstein 5100's and it rides awesome on highway...

    2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU "Big Bear" Build

    I have a rhino rack backbone kit with pioneer platform as you are considering. I have it mounted to a 2 door though rather than a jku. That being said the platform is very strong and able to support 800 lbs static to my understanding. From comparing the two it looks like the Maximus 3 rack uses...

    Trail Practice

    I definitely go out, I refer to it more as testing though. Generally after I put on a new upgrade that may alter things like break over angles or the tipping point if I raise the center of gravity, I like to go out to my local ORV park and test the new limits. It's also a good time to go out and...

    Whipsaw 2017 (Aug 4th - 7th)

    My route would have me cross into BC from Washington just south of Abbotsford, if you're planing to roll through that area I would gladly meet up with you there.

    Whipsaw 2017 (Aug 4th - 7th)

    I see this hasn't been active in a while but if it's open to members from the states I'd love to join! The Whipsaw Trail is something I was hoping to tackle this summer and being able to join a group of those who know their way would be awesome.

    Where do I start?

    Just like the others have said keep it as is and try it out. My Wrangler was on stock spec Suspension for 2 years and I didn't upgrade from A/T tires, like you have, until they wore out. A good place to start would be a deflator and small compressor. I picked up both these on amazon for less...

    How do you power your cb?

    From talking to people on other forms, when tapping into another power source such as cig lighter, tapping a wire, you can get what people call "dirty power." As the power flows to your radio, and other items that you tapped into, you can get interference or static coming through the speaker of...

    How's that fuel tank work with the teraflex HD carrier? I have a rugged ridge version and have been curious how well those tanks work with aftermarket HD hinge carrier.

    OB Pacific Northwest Trail Run - 2017 Edition

    Just found this tread and I'm super interested! I was up at Gallagher last year the weekend before the OB crew and was super bummed when I saw I missed the trip by a week. If there's still room (I can't see the roster) put me down as an attendant! Getting time off work is not an issue and I'd...

    Look up the rhino rack backbone kit for the jk wranglers. They make it for the 2 door or 4 door. Once you attach the tent to the platform you can remove the whole platform fairly easily and leave just the mounts as you mentioned. There's a version with quick disconnect mounts and a version with...

    My 2009 Wrangler X. I have a few more things waiting to be mounted like diff covers and an ARB awning, should also have an RTT within a month or so!

    Cross bars

    I see you said you're planning to mount an rtt to these. I've been looking to do a similar set up, would you say these are pretty easily strong enough to hold an rtt on bumpy trails?
