Awesome rig !

That is one kool lookin ole rig right there ! Welcome

On the roof I have an RTT and a light weight cargo rack with our lightest gear in it. Maybe 300lbs total on the roof at most. I am more concerned with a trails tree clearance, than off camber weight. I have pretty heavy duty suspension with great articulation. Also running heavy 35" x 12.50...

Great video ...looks like a kool place. On the "wish list"...thx for sharing. Ya know, just when i think i have everything covered for memorable trips, you guys have to break out drones and make me druel...:weary::smile:

Thx...gonna look into those for my solar case too !

The what? Hmmm, I like the sounds of water tight. They call them bulkheads? You have a pic of these?

Awesome...One Pelican 1650 coming soon :wink:

Bought 2 new camp flags this week... :smile:

At 120,000 Im surprised you felt anything at all ! LOL

Howdy :smile:

I will soon be entering the same dilemma...ugh I hate wiring! Got 4 of these for the roof rack to mount and wire up.

Sorry you are getting laid off but sometimes things happen for a reason. New roads can lead to new doors...looking forward to seeing your plans. Alaska is a dream trip :triumph:

You dont want a 4" lift, that gets into another geometry problem with steering parts, linkages etc etc. I have 3" and that changed my steering enough to need new parts to correct. Ideally a 2 1/2" will get you where u want to be and leave you 35" tire option should you desire the clearance. Good...

So as an update, I have the rack built and welded on the tire carrier. Here is how I mounted the tank.

Skid plates too. With the lower clearance you want to protect the belly. Rocks are unforgiving.

Got the rack welded up today :tonguewink:

I really love the looks of some of these systems but I have a hard time locking myself into something elaborate and permanently installed.

Took advantage of my only day off this week and welded up the rack. My girl comes out, looks at it , and says "So you sure that tray will be strong enough to support those 2 six gallon water jugs?" So I sat my fat ass on it and asked her...Now do you think it will? LOL Im happy with the outcome...

I used a light wall steel 1 1/4" pipe. Bends easy, welds easy, its cheap and really wasn't heavy at all in the end. I primed and rattle canned it so if it ever gets ratty looking or scratched, its easy to touch up. Aluminum was just going to be more expensive and welding it I would have needed a...

It takes a lot to impress me and the Rubicons , well, they impress me. IMO, I have found that those forum folks and FB folks that normally knock the Rubicons, either have never been in one on a trail, or flat out cant afford one. What I have seen these rigs do, AND from what I have done with...
