    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 EcoDiesel Build

    Thanks! About to post a few pics from the Chief Products installs yesterday.

    Quadra Lift and the tires match well. I have turned the wheel for lock-to-lock at Entry/Exit, NRH, OR1, and OR2 with no rubbing or drama. I still have my 20" set of wheels, although eventually I'll get around to just selling them.

    I also marked down as maybe, although all signs are pointing to us going! We'd head out Saturday morning, though, and camp Sat-Sun.

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 EcoDiesel Build

    That's Chief Product's own Grand Cherokee, which is real! (I assume you said rendering as though it weren't?) They have a TON of awesome shots of their Jeep overlanding in AUS. Check their Facebook page!

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 EcoDiesel Build

    Just ordered the following from Chief Products: - Sump Protection Plate - Lower Front Guard (w/ ACC Guard) - Recovery Hooks It would essentially look like the picture below, minus the nudge/light bar combo. Eventually I'll order the nudge bar and ARB light bar (or a Rigid 20" bar), but the...

    What is your rigs name

    Chester, because I saw a street sign and thought that was a proper vehicle's name.

    Has anyone ever done/seen this? I found it after searching for overlanding adventures through the mid-Atlantic. https://www.gaiagps.com/public/TAfanGVd5MDFfFG8x1qtrzwE/

    US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

    Woops! I was seemingly out of the loop with messaging yesterday. I have a friend coming into town on Friday afternoon/evening (haven't figured out the arrival time just yet), so we may head up to get there Saturday morning. We would definitely arrive before the Rally Point meet time to exchange...

    Awesome info. I don't have any experience with these trips yet, but interested in checking out all three. Green Ridge State Forest sounds like it would be a good one.

    Good info, and true about the beach style. If there's a trip in the air, I'd prefer a trail through the mountains!

    From what I see online, it's about 3 hours from NoVA/DC area. That looks interesting, although a bit of a stretch at 6 hours, although sounds interesting!

    They've proven to be significantly better in every condition over the stock Forteras on the 20" wheels. They air down and ride like butter over soft sand in OBX. They are a bit louder than I would've hoped (loudest between 25-40mph), but not terrible. On top of that, they come highly rated! And...

    I'm up for a weekend camping trip 9/15-17! Overland Expo EAST is 9/29-10/1, although I don't think I'll make it this year (not much PTO left...).

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 EcoDiesel Build

    So today I wired up the light bar to the battery distribution lugs (the smaller connection points) that attach to the battery under the seat. Took a while to get it wired in there, since there's almost no room to work and you have to awkwardly lean on the rear bench... Anyways, wiring was easy...

    Thanks! Yeah I wanted to keep some of the small chrome vestigials so it's not completely black everything. Also, I opted for OEM JGC 18 inch wheels to maintain an OEM look. The one thing upcoming that will change the overall look is an ARB bumper up front... Although that's a bit of a ways away...
