It's funny, I disagree wholeheartedly. If I'm interested in buying a Rugged Ridge product, for example, off Quadratec.com, I can reach out to Rugged Ridge for more information. And I do. Every random dealer in every random location doesn't have experience with every product and can't answer...

Yeah, that seemed to be the biggest problem -- I did NOT know it is made by LTA and most people coming here to research this product in the future will probably only know that because of this thread. So yeah, maybe my wording was a bit excessive, but 2 weeks of trying to get ANY answers from a...

I'm actually in Cleveland these days, I just haven't updated my personal info on this forum. You really want to get rid of your ARE?

It's really just here as its own post because a single comment giving this information hidden deep inside a long multi-page forum post would've far been less user friendly for the next person who went searching. I tried, I mean I REALLY tried to contact the company. I'm not complaining about...

FYI -- I started a separate thread just so people know about the actual company making these. It is apparently a HORRIBLE company with 1 star reviews everywhere you look. They are impossible to contact and every review outside this one thread says that their maunfacturing process is abysmal. If...

I should note that I looked into product this due to the earlier thread of someone who bought this product and posted photos. And, good for them! Notice they bought something that was in stock at their local dealer, and never had to try and contact the company. If they had, I think their...

Venturous Ozark Cab Toppers look AWESOME online. RhinoRack tracks on top. Only weighs 125lb, but with a dynamic load rating of 750lb and a static load rating of 1500lbs. Perfect for large RTTs and awnings. Awesome, right? Well, BEWARE. I should note that I have not actually purchased one of...

That looks nice, thanks! I'm considering a slider now that I'm getting a full hard bed cap, since that makes it harder to get to stuff in the back. (I'm currently leaning toward a Venurous Ozark) I applaud you for it, but as you say, there's no way I'd lose that much height in an already...

I'm looking at cargo slides for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. It's getting to be a real pain getting the stuff in the far back of the bed. I know a lot of people have used BedSlides brand, and lots more folks do homemade solutions, but I think the three best pre-made options I've found online are...

I LOVE my SlimLine II. Damn straight I've got a RTT on it. And an RDS 8' 360deg awning on it. And a kitchen table hung under it. The SlimLine II is great. FrontRunner Outfitters sells quick release RTT mounts that perfectly raise the tent up so you don't have to worry about the raised edges (and...

I didn’t. I think the mods do that when they highlight a thread on the front page. Sorry!

Nice! I’m envious of that covered bed cab. Your setup looks awesome! It’s funny, I tried to install that same air dam on my hood, but I gave up after it arrived damaged in it’s sealed package twice in a row

Recovery Gear Part 1 - Tools A lot of people read "off-road recovery" and they think "winch". That's a useful thing to have, but I thought I'd start by discussing tools. Not the tools you keep in your garage for modifying your Jeep, but the ones you keep in your Jeep for when things go wrong...

Wow, see, here's the flipside: I can't overstate how much I hate this product. The install was miserable, I can't keep the bars in the rollbar grooves they belong in, the magnet is annoying to deal with, and the true killer for me: they're insanely loud when driving, even at just 35-40 mph. I...

I'm really curious to hear how tough the install was and how easy it is to swing those doors open, especially under a heavy load

Just my 2c, but if I were you I wouldn't bother with the ESS. You're talking about a LOT more wiring and fiddling inside your Jeep's engine compartment versus just ignoring the ESS and wiring your new stuff straight to your alternator. I think: It'll be easier to do that way It'll be easier to...

By the way, if you're a prospective JT buyer, I should warn you... once you get a Jeep, everyone else in the family will want one too!

You're all good, here's a post I just made 2 days ago with all the details, the exact costs of everything, and how the process went (along with some advice if you go that route)

Actually, I'm not. The beauty of using a relay (solenoid) is that it requires VERY low power to operate. The Jeep's Auxiliary switch is only switching the relay on and off. That's nothing. It's the relay itself that's connecting or disconnecting the winch from the battery. The wire Warn gives...

Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 7 -Bedding and Lighting Okay, this is my last non-Jeep-specific overlanding/camping post (for now). I just realized I hadn't mentioned what happens at night. Lighting I love, love, love, love, love Energizer LED Headlamps. That link is for the new model (which...
