Here are a couple of photos. The one shows how the bike swings out with the spare tire gate, and the other shows how high up the bike sits. I purchased the 2 bike carrier, but I think they have a 3 & 4 bike version as well. The one pick showing the bike on the back is somewhat of an optical...

Welcome to the Overland Bound community. It’s taken me some time to figure out how to navigate my way around in here, but it’s starting to work for me and I’ve learned so much from everyone here. I too, in May of this year, purchased a 1997 FZJ80 and have been building it ever since. Though...

New 31 series AGM Northstar cranking battery installed today. A bit of a tight fit, but happy with newfound capacity!! Having to lengthen the cables to get around the new matching house battery which will go in tomorrow.

Installing the new 4.88 gears that just arrived which are a better ratio for the taller tires. I’m hoping this helps with the longer grade hill climbs where my transmission seemed to labor like crazy with the stock 4.11’s. While we have it up on the hoist and apart, we decided to rebuild the...

Welcome Brian. Spend time looking through the forums and posts all over this website. You’ll be amazed at how much information you’ll find that is helpful. People here are awesome and do amazing things to help out. Keep on building and most importantly, get out there and use it!! Cheers!

Hey Jackson, Welcome to Overland Bound! I’m fairly new to this family too but have learned so much in the past 4 months or so. Make sure you get out the Overland Expo East this year. I think it’s pretty close to where you are located. Just Google it and you’ll see all the details. It’s a...

Love the look! I'm just not sure if I'd want my spare gas cans loaded up in front like that. Front end collisions are more likely than a rear-ender which could prove to be quite explosive. If you're running water in those cans, no problem! I do love the look and creativity!!

Way better!!

Super clean install! Looks great!

Welcome David! If you’re ever in Southern California, we’ll be glad to pitch in our 2 cents. Best thing is for you to get out and use it for what it was designed to do. Why have a Jeep if you don’t intend to get it dirty?? It’s easy to toss a sleeping bag, a tent, and a cooler in the back...

Welcome aboard! Spend some time in the forums and make sure you join Overland Bound if not done already. As a member, you will find many people like yourself who can relate to where you are in your journey. As for mods....much depends on the mechanics of your rig. Make sure everything is in...

Give Alex at American Overland Expedition in Laguna Hills a call....they fab some really nice stuff at very reasonable prices. I told them what I wanted and they did better than I expected.

Morning at the OC Rigs n Coffee meet up Afternoon and night time, a beautiful climb up the back side to Sugarloaf Mountain.....not a soul in sight. What a nice night! Super heavy gravel and rock road, made our teeth chatter....until I remembered to use my new ARB air down tool and lowered the...

Went to the Goose Gear facility today and ordered my floor plate systems to mount a 2 drawer storage unit with a camp kitchen along side. It's expensive but these guys make really nice systems for the back of most any rig, and remember, you get what you pay for. Located in Westminster, CA, I'd...

I'm planning on attending the OC Rigs n Coffee event at the same place tomorrow morning. Happy to show you if you come by. Cheers!

I'm planning to show up tomorrow morning at 8:00 sharp. Looking forward to it!!

I replied from my phone yesterday and it placed the comment in a separate thread. Hope this one lands in the correct spot! I went with the K470 series.

Finished loading up and arranging my custom fabbed FZJ80 over-dash bar for mounting various RAM fittings for NAV, Lighting Mgmt, iPhone, iPad, GoPro, and 2 swivel cup holders. It’’s ridiculously functional and cool. I don’t think anything else will fit!!

If you’re still shipping samples, I’d love to give your product a try and get you my feedback.

Ordered 2 - 23”X23”X16” with 1/2” padding inside Zarges aluminum water resistant cases for my roof rack. They will tuck in right behind my HID floods and spots. Can’t wait to get them. Opted for these instead of the AluBoxes or the Pelican cases. After a great deal of consideration, pricing...
