    Mid Atlantic Overland Festival - anyone going?

    I added a direct link in my previous post. Try that and see if it still causes problems.

    2015 JKURHR Build

    None at all. It will fit both length wise to open on the side or width wise to open towards the back.

    Mid Atlantic Overland Festival - anyone going?

    I threw together a Google Docs sign up sheet that is accessible via this link only. Please feel free to fill in as much or as little contact information as you'd like. At a minimum, a first name and phone number would be nice that way if you're running behind we can call you or you can call...

    External Fuel Storage

    I did a trip from east coast to west coast with 8 gallons of gas in Rotopax containers on my Grand Cherokee. That was nothing. With my JK, I'm running 20 gallons (4 , 5 gal jerry cans) on top plus the weight of a RTT, awnings (side and rear) and Max Trax - all on top of the Gobi Stealth...

    2015 JKURHR Build

    Got tired of trying to find decent MaxTrax mounts for a Gobi rack that didn't cost me an arm and leg to import from Australia so I made my own for $20 worth of parts from Home Depot and the cost of the MaxTrax pins. Obviously these have to be mounted once I'm out of the garage, same as the RTT...

    Roof top storage boxes

    Nice. I was considering the pelican cases as a solution being they come in all shapes and sizes. I'd just hate to ruin their waterproofness by drilling through them to attach to the roof. Yeah, I could strap them, but solid connections give me peace of mind when I'm away from the rig.

    Extended the front and rear differential breathers and installed some limb risers today.

    I don't normally put stickers on the outside of my rig, but these two match the color scheme and represent me, so...

    Mid Atlantic Overland Festival - anyone going?

    If I get a minute, I'll throw a sign up sheet on Google docs where people can enter as much or as little contact info as they like. We have a little time yet.

    Black NATO jerry cans

    What are your thoughts on the color of fuel cans that would be exposed to direct sunlight on the roof of the rig? Looking at some quality NATO jerry cans, red or green would be a natural choice but black would match the my rig better. As we all know black absorbs sunlight / heat. Think...

    Roof top storage boxes

    Whew, those are a little pricey but I bet they'd last and take a beating.

    Roof top storage boxes

    I'm look for recommendations on a good, high quality steel/aluminum, lockable storage box that I can mount to the front portion of my Gobi Stealth rack roof. I know Gobi itself makes a stealth box, but it's a little short. I'm looking for something I can mount (bolt) to the rack, not take on...

    The Search for the BEST Overland Camp Chair

    The GF and I enjoy the Kelty low loveseat. It's a bit bulky but it comes with a great carry case with a shoulder strap and the back is reclined at an angle to make it extremely comfortable. It also has built in bottles openers on each side. :) From my ultralight camping days I have a couple...

    Willys Overland Build

    Great build! Question on the breather kit. I have the same kit sitting in my garage and it's been waiting until after I had the lift and tires installed. You mention that it didn't quite fit nice and that concerns me as I was lead to believe that they are a perfect match. Did you take any...

    East coast to west coast

    In 2011 I did this trip (below) over memorial day into June. I took 17.5 days driveway to driveway. I hit Rocky Mtn National Park, Moab, Arches National Park, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Four Corners, and Mesa Verde National...
