I’ll be there with Orion Coolers. If you have any questions on Coolers vs powered fridge/freezers, stop by and ask and check out our other Overland and camping accessories, from the Handibak seat back attachment to Utilitop minibar to Buckboard knife/cutting board storage system

I have a myriad of tents for all kinds of applications from ultralight tarp backpacking or kayak setups, to ones I favor for float trips, to others I favor for Overland trips. sometimes they’re one in the same since my Overland trips are usually to go somewhere to do something. Two systems that...

Got some trail time at the TN Mountains Jeep Jamboree. Everything performed as it should, back in the garage now with just some skid plate marks and rock rash on the wheels.

Video on the Yakima accessories

Here's an install video and some talking points on the Yakima Slim Shady awning, shovel and hi-lift brackets, and LoadWarrior + Extension on the Mopar JL Roof Rack

Here's an install video on the Yakima accessories like their LoadWarrior extension, shovel and Hi-Lift brackets, and Slim Shady awning systems on the Mopar JL roof rack

HDPE = hi density polyethylene. Just Google 'Starboard Marine sheet'. I got that sheet from West Marine.

Added some more Yakima accessories. Extended the roof rack with the LoadWarrior extension, added shovel and hi-lift mounting brackets, and the Slim Shady awning. Everything is coming together nicely.

Added some Yakima accessories to the rack -- the LoadWarrior Extension, shovel and hi-lift brackets, and Slim Shady awning.

Here's my initial setup of our new Rubicon JLU. Pretty close to our needs right off the lot, just a few more tweaks from here:

Here's my latest video, talking about my initial setup and what I like about the new JLU vs the JKU Rubicons.

Last step for now was adding my custom tailgate table. I had this in my JKU and removed it before trade in. It's made of Starboard marine board (basically HDPE sheet), stainless piano hinge and hardware, and some paracord. No drilling except through the plastic cover piece. I put extra loops...

The high fender flares on the JLU Rubi's really throw on the sides of the vehicle -- onto door hinges and handles, and the wife doesn't really care for the latter. I was planning to add the optional Mopar Premium Rock Rails anyways, so I went ahead and did that. They are bedlined from Mopar, add...

First trail ride on a local public Wildlife Management Area. Added the Yakima LoadWarrior cargo rack to the Mopar roof rack.

I didn't get the factory trailer hitch (probably should have), so I added one to attach a Pakmule hitch carrier. Also added the Mopar door sill guards and Mopar removable roof rack for the factory hard top.

One weakness that remains on the JLU are the exposed door hinges -- especially if you live on gravel roads. The high fenders now on Rubicons makes throwing rocks on them even worse. So while new I Plasti-Dipped them, hood hinges, and made a bug guard on front edge of the hood

Here's the evolution of my JLU Rubicon. I had a JKU Rubicon that had served me very well for 10 years on numerous great adventures, and while it was hard to see it go, it was time to either put a lot of money into it, or upgrade. I opted to trade it in, and staring a new chapter with the new JLU...
