    Now we are getting to the point of "Black Friday 2016"... What better excuse to buy more parts? My Black Friday (so far... I might be persuaded to order a few more items): 8-switch sPOD SE (switch panel version, red LEDs) ARB Premium Recovery Kit Factor55 FlatLink Factor55 Shorty Strap III...

    Next up: ARB's On-board High Performance Twin Air Compressor In hindsight, this has been one of my favorite mods. It's also saved my butt once! A few friends and I threw together a wrenching party and installed 2 or 3 of these in our Jeeps in the same day, and it was AWESOME! I used...

    Okay, back to the mods! First up: Vector Off-road's JKE-Dock It could not be a more straightforward, quick and simple installation! The idea here is to use RAM mounts, like you would on the handlebars of something like a KTM, to hold various electronics. Here's a picture of the JKE-Dock after...

    [OB1375] 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock - The Rube Goldberg Machine

    Shortly after moving to Colorado, I decided it was time for a few mods that would make my life easier on the trail. The parts for the first mod arrived damaged, so I had to sort that out; in the interim, I decided to do some adventuring and camping with a few new friends... We took a trip down...

    So, first things first... Not too long after that trip to Colorado, I moved... to Colorado. Almost immediately after getting situated, I rolled out with some guys I met on WranglerForum, who have turned into great friends of mine. The took me out to Kingston Peak for an inaugural run to...

    [OB1375] 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock - The Rube Goldberg Machine

    Alright... It's been a while since I updated this thread, and a couple of things got my rear in gear... First, an almost-catastrophic-event cut a trip short (more to come on that later, but I have almost 2 years of the build to catch up on, so it really will be "later"). Second, I attended an OB...

    [OB1375] 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock - The Rube Goldberg Machine

    Speaking of the move out West, that's pretty much what happened almost right after my trip out to Colorado. Almost as soon as we got there, we were back out in the Jeep. I ran Kingston Peak again with a different group of friends (but from the other direction), as well as Yankee Hill, before...

    [OB1375] 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock - The Rube Goldberg Machine

    On the way back from Colorado, I chose to go a different route, partially to avoid Illinois and its horrible roads, and partially to add new states to my list of those I've visited. The route this time was Colorado -> Kansas -> Oklahoma (overnight stop in OKC) -> Arkansas -> Mississippi (needed...
