Ah, gotcha. Bummer on the bumper. Which front bumper do you have? I have a feeling you'll be interested in a future post on this thread :-) Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

While I didn't have any corrosion issues with mine it's interesting that you did, especially considering TeraFlex touts a "1,000 hour extreme salt spray" test as part of product testing. What did you replace yours with? I wonder if yours was an earlier version than mine (I purchased late...

The next mod was in preparation for the lift and tires, and off-road driving. Synergy upper and lower inner C gussets and front lower control arm skids, and a Magnaflow y-pipe (without loop delete, to keep the exhaust coming back from the cats close to the same length until they reach the "Y."...

The next mod is also one that I file under "Mods I Regret," but unlike the AntennaX where I just didn't like it at all from an aesthetic or design standpoint, this upcoming mod just ended up not meeting my needs. It's a GREAT product, and I was really happy with it, but it just did not function...

Another quick/easy mod I made early on was to ditch the tall factory antenna for something shorter. The intention here was to keep the antenna low, so that it did not get caught on low hanging foliage and "whip" back into the windshield. The antenna I initially selected was made by AntennaX, as...

Well, @r2fasani , you can't go wrong with the seat support. MetalCloak's quality is outstanding. Also, don't get too attached to the soft top on my build :sunglasses:

Another early mod was the Mopar boot for the factory soft top. As you can see in the picture below, Baja Yellow looks good with the top dropped, but the top looks a mess even when you take the time to fold it back carefully... Well, Mopar boot for the soft top to the rescue! I'd guess...

Man, this community rocks. Thanks for the kind words everyone! The next mod I made was another easy install - the MetalCloak Center Seat Support for the rear seat of the 4-doors. After sitting on the center seat before and after, I can say this makes a huge difference. Without it, the center...

Thanks for following along! I appreciate it, and it will keep me motivated to update the thread! I'm trying to keep the retroactive posts for the completed mods in chronological order. So, with that said, I think the next mod was the Mopar hood lock, to keep people out from under the hood as...

Alright, onto the mods! After driving home from the dealer through almost 3 hours of torrential rains, I quickly realized the stock lights were not only inadequate, but actually a safety hazard. So, the first modification I made was to the headlights. I replaced the stockers with JW Speaker...

Alright, since we had 1 vote (that accounted for 100% of votes cast - thanks @r2fasani ) for retroactive updates, I'm going to try to highlight some of the bigger mods I've done. Before we go into that, here's a few pictures of Rube when he was just a pup. Oh, by the way, I name my vehicles...

I've decided that I will kick things off with a list of vitals, then current mods, and finally planned future mods. Without further ado... Vitals: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (Hard Rock edition) 6-speed manual Dana 44 housings front & rear with e-lockers front & rear, 4.10 gearing Mopar premium...

How the heck has no one mentioned the 1978 Expedicion de las Americas?? Mark A. Smith (the Jeep legend) and friends... 21,000 miles from the tip of South America to the tip of North America... "By November 1978, Mark Smith already had 25 years of experience leading off-road excursions under...

Thanks. Have been trying to decide between the 37 and the 50. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Love the build! What size ARB fridge is that? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Hey Everyone, I figured I'd start a build thread, even though I'm already well into my build. I figure it might help folks that are just starting out, and I know for a fact that I will learn a lot from all of you. The rig is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock (that's a mouthful)...

Hello Everyone, I just recently joined the forums, but I became a member back on May 20, 2016 when I ordered my OB emblem (#1375). Without further ado: Location: Colorado The rig: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (Hard Rock edition) - "The Rube Goldberg Machine" Overlanding Experience...
