We have some experience with building out the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser platforms.
If it's going to be a daily driver, mostly road miles, don't waste money on Icon, King, or Fox. In fact, those will likely produce a ride that he won't like on the street.
The ones you mention, OME, Dobinsons...
The modifications you do will largely depend on exactly what your plans for "overlanding" are.
If you're plans are dirt roads and an occasional rough road I recommend you keep it stock other then some nice all terrain tires. If you want to get into places that 99.5 percent of travelers and...
The goal of the article written has been very successfully accomplished. It's inflammatory, controversial opinion has directed an enormous amount of attention to a third rate, probably failing magazine.
The writer/owner of the rag is probably sitting back and smiling at all the attention he's...
After looking at Goose Gear's base and the hefty price tag that goes with it we decided to build our own. We produced a video if you're interested. Ours is for a 4Runner but you can make it work for your Jeep.
Here's a link to it: DIY Base Plate
And yes, the biggest cost in constructing...
Here's something we believe you all may be interested in. It's a meet-n-greet-hanging out-thing where we can talk about trips, rigs, equipment, whatever.

Have you considered Southern Style Offroad? The make a similar front bumper.
We have their bumper and High Clearance Kit on our 4R and have their roof rack on the way as well. They are one of the very best companies we've ever dealt with.

The Morrison Trail; are we getting ourselves into something more difficult then we're used to?
Merri and I are putting together trip logistics for this year and are in need of a little info on a detail. On one of our trips we'll be coming west out of the Big Horn Mountains in WY heading towards...
It's finally done and so far we're extremely happy with the whole setup!
This was a difficult project to do. Not the install and custom fab work, but the research and choosing of the components. The method of charging and battery type to be precise. It seemed that as soon as I made a choice...
Nicely done, a great list of basic info that all newbies need to hear. The production quality is good, the narration is easy to listen too, it kept my interest.
One suggestion; I'd like to see you make a playlist on your channel with individual videos explaining in detail all the points you're...
Don't over think it. Most water crossings are less then 3', if higher don't do it, especially if there's a strong current. The only mod you'll need to do on your 4R is extend the rear diff and e-locker breathers up (google scuba mod). The trans, case, and front diff breathers are in the engine...
