    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Finally made the decision to regear. The 373’s just weren’t cutting it, especially with all the extra weight in the rear, and when pulling the trailer. Thought long and hard between 456’s and 488’s. Decided to go with Yukon 488’s, and so far, no regrets. Still in the break-in period but can...

    Camp Photos!

    Took my 2 yr old nephew and brother camping recently. My nephew loved sleeping in the Tepui, or what he kept calling the “fort”! Wish I would have grabbed a pic of him in the tent but totally forgot. We were local so had my parents come down to eat with us after grilling on the skottle. My...

    New Fridge, got it under $275

    Nice score! I thought I had seen someone else post this manufacturer previously and that they had pretty good luck with it.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Glad to hear you got it all sorted. Couldn't find that Rope Light anywhere on Front Runner.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Both of those are extremely useful! It does take a bit of work to get the attic set up correctly, but once you do it’s probably the most useful addition to the Jeep. I keep my sleeping bags, down jackets, and rain wear up there full time. If it’s not lining up correctly you may want to call...

    Tembo Tusk...Worth it?

    That looks great! Well done! What’s the burner holder look like? Just curious as to how you did that.

    Tembo Tusk...Worth it?

    Yep, absolutely worth it. Like many others on here, I've used a few other set ups for cooking, and the large open area of the skottle makes it so much easier to prepare more food, and different types of food, all at the same time. You will not regret it.

    Do you use your awning?

    That's a great pic!

    Hot, Portable Shower Using Less Than 1 Gallon Of Water

    Very cool! I really like it! Like @ru108 said, the KS and Indie pages are a bit confusing. I'd consider something like this for sure.

    How far do you have to travel to overnight? (no reservations, no office/ranger stop)

    From the DC area you're looking at about 1-1.5 hrs to get into National Forest, with legal OHV trails and dispersed camping, and some beautiful country!

    Do you use your awning?

    Yep, 2500mm, so 98.43 inches to be exact! The extra 20" or so over the 2000 size awning is very nice to have!

    Do you use your awning?

    I just have the basic Thule gutter feet, Thule square load bars, then just drilled the awning mounts through the load bars in order to attach the awning. My entire way of mounting the awning was based on an exact position I needed height wise for the awning to clear my doors, but also be low...

    Jeep JKU Overland build - stiffer springs?

    I've heard good stuff about those Teraflex Outback springs. My buddy @JRElaxED is running them now as well and really likes them.

    ARB Lockers and re-Gear

    @Lazy Turtle , that combo sounds about right based on tire size and the weight. I'm in the same situation as you, and just made an appointment today to go from 3.73 to 4.88 in my 2016 non Rubi JKU. It sounds like I'm pulling a lighter trailer than you, probably coming in somewhere around...

    Smittybilt Scout Redesign Coming 2019

    Since a few others have offered an alternative trailer option, and without trying to derail the OP's thread, I'll just at least throw out the option of the Morris Mule trailers, built in Aniston, Alabama by Morris Burt. Having my trailer built by Morris was one of the best purchasing...

    Jeep JKU Overland build - stiffer springs?

    It's amazing at how much braking gets impacted by all of that extra weight. I've been thinking the same thing recently as well....more braking power would be nice. Did you do the regular HD springs in the rear or the optional Extra HD's?

    RTT Installation

    Ok, got it. So it sounds like you got it installed at this point. That clearance issue you mention is definitely a common problem with certain rack's. Not much you can do about it other than to get someone with small hands to do it!:grinning: Do you plan on leaving it installed all the time...

    RTT Installation

    We’ll probably need a bit more info from you to help. What kind of roof top tent do you have? Make and model? What rack system on top of your Jeep are you trying to install it on? Any pics of the specific problems you’re encountering?
