I have been designing my own to fit my needs. I will be towing it behind 2 different vehicles and a variety of terrain so I designed it around that in mind as well as how I pack and mainly the tire size I figured it would need to get through to some of the spots I planned on taking it. The top...

Got my TJ torn down to do some much needed maintenance. New brakes all around with a dual piston caliper in the front. Steering torn apart to make new tie rod and frag link with a heim kit to get rid of the tie rod ends that just don't last.... also have an air compressor to mount in the back...

I usually leave my dog with my inlaws. She just doesn't enjoy it. She used to ride shotgun in my jeep but she can't get into it anymore, she can hardly see, and the bug in the woods love to eat her which makes her face swell up like a balloon. She gets treated well at the inlaws. I wish she...

Welcome from Ontario again! Lol

Nothing wrong with a Renegade! Lol. It's pretty much the same platform as my Compass and I have had that thing all over the place. I have a 2 inch lift in it and it sits as high as a stock Tacoma. That being said a little more ground clearance and lockers would be nice lol. As for places to go...

Most of the time a load my LJ up for solo trips into the woods to get away from everyone else lol.

I enjoy all seasons but mainly stick to spring/summer/fall because winter Wheeling breaks things faster than I can fix them usually.

Welcome!

I use a Currie enterprises digital deflator in my trail rig. It threads on to the valve and then you thread the core out and pull the collar back on the deflate and it deflates the tires quickly. Usually only takes me about 5 minuets or so to deflate all 4 37" tires from 30psi to 6psi. As for...

Having one this in the past ( with a much smaller budget mind you), I know that living in an apartment you kinda want to keep the vehicle discreet. Too many people looking to take advantage of stuff sitting on the roof that you spent your hard earned money on. So when I built my rig out the...

I made clamps for the side of my roof basket. The same would work if you ran flat bar or tube down the length of the boards on your rack. Once had the clamps make i welded threaded rod where the hols were spaced and put large washers and nuts on. Didnt have time to make flags on the nuts befre...

Lol been there! Sprinkler works well to loosen stuff up or spend $50 at a car wash and try to get into all the nooks and crannys the best you can .... you will be finding mud in random places for a loooooong time lol

Awesome! should make an awesome platform for whatever you plan. cant wait to see the progress.

^^^This! Lol. I was just about to write this until I scrolled down and saw it. Also keep in mind cable type and solenoid location vs where tlyou plan to mount the winch. I have been running a older style warn VR8000 for years on my TJ and have had good luck with the line not rusting because I...

I've always just eventually figured it out over time.... my compass ( witch very rarely sees trails but does from ime to time) I run at 32psi front and 35 psi rear which is what it says on the door... my TJ runs best at 28 psi on road and 6psi offroad. I ran a higher pressure with my last set of...

Depending on vehicle ... TJ : 1. Winch & tree strap 2. Tow strap 3. Shovel & traction boards. Compass 1. Traction boards 2. Come along & strap 3. Shovel.... I carry a lot of recovery gear but most of it seldom gets used ( fortunately) lol. I have winch anchors, and snatch blocks and shackles...

Neither of my vehicles have a whole lot of room inside. And depending on what kind of trip I'm doing I have to use the roof for gear. I try not to because rain and mud splashing on gear sucks.

I used to do minimalist camping but havnt had time since I had my kids... well since the whole crew had kids lol. Now I look at how much work it is when I get home , having to dry everything out, air out the smoke smell... i just don't have the time. Now winter for me is mainly time to work on...

I did a 3 link front and semi-triangulated 4 link in my LJ ... its not a JK but it runs JK axles lol. also it is put together with all Curry johnny joints and came out cheaper than those kits look like they are going to run, and it drives great. If you have any 4x4 shops or local fab shops...
