I think the best part of this is the crate and tires in the back
Gotta get out home some how truck bed it is lol. I also didn't strap it down when wheeling like an idiot so the bed has some scratches good thing I'll be getting a line x when i get home. Still don't get why you can't factory order a diesel with a line x

That’s odd. Maybe it’s a Rubicon thing? My Overland diesel came with the spray in from the factory.

Looks really great. To confirm: is that only a Mopar 2" lift? And the 37s are 12.5? No offense, but you don't look to be 6'5" so how is the ingress and egress?
I am running a similar set up. I can climb in no problem at 5’ 7 - my 5’ 4 wife can too, our dads can too, but our moms suffer.

I absolutely hate being off camber like this, but boy does it look sweet.

Did you also find that 4Lo even with 37s is almost never needed?
It's needed cause even with my tazer and I'm not sure I set it up correct cause I was rocking it out with the seat bar disconnected and locked but. After trying it out they unlock when not in 4lo and I've needed to lock it a few times most recently in the sand out here in Kitty Hawk

The front won’t lock outside of 4Lo to lock the rear the procedure is like this:

1) Put in 4Hi
2) Turn on off road+
3) Press traction control button for at least 5 seconds (it will beep)
4) Press rear locker on button

Awesome truck. I’ll be traveling to Kitty Hawk next month actually. Will I be able to get around that sand without lockers in my Sport S? I’m on 33 inch Falken AT3Ws for reference.

I'm sure you could of you can read the sand. I went 3ft of the trail and spun in the loose sand and I wasn't carrying speed and in 2wd. 4hi spun. But 4lo locked popped me right out

If your at sea level and go 55-65 you can indeed achieve over 27mpg... I got 28.8 222 miles later in at 27.6 going 75 plus. Trying to make it to Gettysburg via Chesapeake bay Bridge. Got to see some light houses and Wright Brothers national memorial. Pretty cool if you guys can make time

Looks great! On the bedliner...you are better off getting it aftermarket anyway. The LineX shops do a much better prep job (improves adherance) and put the product on much thicker.

At what speed tho? Don't believe for a second you are truly getting 26.8 at a good clip. Perhaps at 53mph and a poorly calibrated computer it will show that.
