Whats the difference between this hitch and the stock one?
Just over $100.
The only place I found the official MOPAR receiver was $295.
Etrailer had the DrawTite for $188

Gross Trailer weight 7,500 / 8,000 with weight distribution hitch
Tongue weight 1,125 / 1,200 with weight distribution hitch

Installed a dual drive cam with wifi. I used an ODB plug that's supposed to supply constant power but I dont think it's working. The camera is pretty good though. I've already had a camera help in a fender bender on my last Jeep. These are a must for Orlando traffic and third world drivers.

Next week got a BIG change coming, too. I will post when it happens.

2.5” lift at the front, 1” at the rear, and dual steering stabilizers installed today.

bump steer is now gone. Can finally talk to my kids in the back without worrying about the Jeep drifting with the road.

truck sits nice and level now.

Thanks for the 2 pics. I like the way the rubi looks with the 35s and no lift. Those 35s fill the wheel wells nicely. They should go with them stock imo they just look right. The lift looks a bit more aggressive, you can tell its not stock. Thanks.

Wow i have never been a fan of racks on the back of a pick up but that looks great. What did you mean you changed your build, is that completely custom? If so someone should just sell it as is. Looks great on with the white on black. Nice job.

Added a Nuthouse Industries Nutzo Expedition Rack today. The quality of the build is amazing, and the guys at Nuthouse are top notch. I would absolutely recommend this group and the rack to anyone. They’ll build pretty much whatever you want. I probably changed my design 10 times and every time they said “no problem”.

Yes. You have to adjust them to get rid of the rattle. Lightly loosen the locking nut away from the latch box and unscrew the bolt/stopper a few twists. Shut the door and give it a shake. Keep letting the bolt out a little until it is firm on close and no rattle. Then set the locking nut against the latch box. Be carful twisting the bolt. You don't want to tear off the rubber stopper. All four of my doors are tight.

Here's the screw and nut:

Okay. Then it’s my doors then. My bolts literally go to the end of the nut and the doors (front) still rattle. I may need to adjust the lock mechanism somehow or get longer bolts.

I’ll post a pic of the front bumpstop and lock. Do the same, so I can see your issue. The front is slightly different than the rears, but it’s the same concept.

thanks man. Yes, the build is custom - they have a basic framework that they build, and then you can modify from there. I opted for the larger storage boxes and only 2 Rotopax, and they also custom mounted some awning brackets (removable) for the driver side.
