One last comment for the day.... I keep forgetting to give honorable mention to the new wheels too. Method Racing’s new trail model with inner design to act as a quasi bead lock without the need for a conventional bead lock set up. I ordered them from 4Wheel Parts and it took a while because...

I was having the same issue down here in the Summer and just hated it. I will say, people still blow by me on my way up, but I’m at 2,700RPMs instead of 4500. Much mo bueno! I’m thinking about some other power mods that I’ve heard are simple fixes. Every little bit helps. Much of the...

KM3’s Baby Yeah!!

Just picked it up!! Wow… What a difference.

Purchased them thru 4Wheel Parts and because I’m only in the learning phase of all this, had American Overland install them for me. I really like the new gears....especially for the longer grade pulls. I have the “Power” button as well which brings in a whole other power band. I don’t...

I’m really excited because the new wheels just arrived yesterday, getting wrapped in brand new BFG KM3’s and being mounted on the truck tomorrow afternoon. Just in time for our 2 week trip into the Southern Arizona desert. I’ll post pics as soon as they’re rollin’!

I was moments away from bailing on this design and going with safety matte black too....but I’m happy I didn’t and had fun designing it with the artist!

Totally diggin’ the new anti-glare hood. First time the sun is out since the installation!!

I recently learned that the guy who lost his Jeep to fire may have been prevented by the installation of circuit breakers. Without them, and the cause of a fire is electrical (which I’ve been told were the characteristics of his fire), a fire extinguisher doesn’t help. If there is a short in...

Can’t wait to see what you do with the Santana build. Make sure you do a Build post under the Rigs thread. I’d love to see what you’re going to do on the conversion and the thread I mentioned is the go-to place to show your progress along the way.

I wanted to cut down on hood glare when driving directly into the desert sun as well as light bounce from the rooftop flood lights....so a matt finish hood wrap seemed like the right solution. Went down to my new friends at Gator Wraps in Laguna Hills, CA to see what might work. After studying...

This was pretty much the first cross-over vehicle built. When they first came out, they were marketed as very exclusive and were coveted by most Troopy owners. Isuzu was so far ahead of their time. Think today of the number of cross-overs. Everyone is building one. These never really caught...

Baja Designs....better and even more expensive!!

You got that right! Although this last fill up I got a whopping 11.2 miles per gallon which is much better than the 9 I typically get! I watched a Ronnie Dahl video on YouTube and his big tip was to keep the vehicle below the wind resistance level...which in our case is 55MPH. Appears to be...

Greg the electrician and avid Overland himself, is suggesting that I tear off my HID light system and replace them with Baja Designs LP9 series lights. Amber on the roof to cut through glare from dust. White spots up front. Pilar lights for spotting difficult terrain to the side of my rig at...

Right before she went in to be outfitted by Goose Gear, I also received my new aluminum cases from Zarges USA. These cases are awesome!!! Heavy duty and light as hell. So many sizes, I was able to order 2 cases that fit perfectly into my roof rack in front of RTT. Should save some wear and...

Now for the pretty stuff. Check out the new Goose Gear set up. I'm super happy with its functionality and can't wait to load up the drawers!! Since I got a new Skottle from Tembo Tusk before Jerry left for Overland East last week, I'm not going to install a stove in the pull out underneath...

My wife and I watched that video and for the first time, she's completely supportive of what it cost to fix it!!!
