This will be a slow build as I am switching from four wheeling to overlanding and changing platforms. I have been a die hard Jeep guy for 26 years and worked as a Jeep master tech for 16 of them. I will be documenting along the way and appreciate any input as I am new to Toyota. That said here...
Glad to see some more Middle Tennessee people on here. I am going to do a secition of the KAT this summer if your interested. You should also check out LBL. Be careful where you go on the dirt devil. Some of the locals have become tired of people trespassing on private property and tearing up...
I am fairly new on here. We definitely speak WJ at our house! Both of the lifted ones are mine. I sold the brown Laredo to buy the 04 Overland because it had low miles. The black one is my daughters.
I did the rough country 4” long arm and 265/70R17 KM2’s. A lot of people dis rough country but it drives like stock and most lifts can’t say that when you get above 3”. I’m not going the receiver route for the spare because I tow a pop up frequently.
I finally got my lift and tires on. Now my spare won’t fit in the tire well. I am looking at building a shelf in the rear like you did. Put stuff I hardly use in the tire well. Put tire on top of tire well and fridge and gear on top of shelf. How much weight do you think the shelf you made added...
It’s really not that hard to pull front bumper and grille. I can have mine off in 15 minutes. Mechanics like to complain. I know because I used to be one! 16 years at the Jeep dealership. Lol. Did you do the all aluminum one?
We are planning on going. Its only 6 hrs for us since we live in the middle of the Southeast. But it would be nice to do one at Windrock which is in East Tennessee.
Looks good! What kind of bedliner are you painting it with? I am going to do something similar because my spare wont fit in the spare tire well any more. I will store stuff in the spare tire well and slide the tire in the open space above it. Then I can put cooler and other things on top. I...
Thanks! I was very happy to find it. I looked for 4 months and was about to give up and buy a limited when it showed up on craigslist. As for the radiator yes. Its full aluminum. I got it off ebay for $189 shipped and its been in a month with no issues. The factory plastic radiators are prone to...
Nice build! I will be stealing a few of your ideas. I am building an 04 Overland that I picked up a few months ago. It is going to be an Overland build but will see a little rougher terrain down here. I worked as a master tech at a Jeep dealer for 14 years. The rough Idle on the 4.7's is usually...
Hello everyone! some what of a newbie to the overland community. I have been four wheeling for years in built Jeeps on 5+ rated trails but I am becoming more and more interested in over landing as opposed to beating the crap out of a Jeep for the sake of seeing who can make it. I just purchased...
