Replaced OEM plastic bumper with a MP Concepts aluminum winch bumper. Replaced halogen floods with DD Elite series LED floods. Removed plastic bumper flood lights wiring harness and installed in new bumper. Used DDâs wiring jumpers to connect everything. Lights wonât come on! Anyone else run...
Here is a JD Powers assessment on a low time JTRD Farout, factory new engine at 7000mi. It is priced at this appraisal amount, which is a couple thousand more than what I paid for mine (in Dec 23). This is a dealer price.
I bought one of the last JTRDs made in Dec of 23. It went on a diet, got a winch/ aluminum front bumper and a smartcap/RTT. You donât want a bunch of stuff in front of the radiator! Keep that area clear and you wonât have issues with cooling. I also removed the aux battery and installed a jumper...
I just installed a Zeon 10S on my JTRD. Lots of really crappy roads /trails in the North country. So the winch is for getting me unstuck in the middle of nowhereâŠwe also have 7months of snow/ice covered roads. The 10S was a tight fit! Didnât have to remove any material but it was close. I think...

Nice! I have a similar story, bought a 23 JTRD in Washington St. in Dec of 23. I think I figured mine was 18% off MSRP. Drove it back up to Alaska in May of 24. It also is Sarge Green and is currently undergoing a diet program!
My RTT has two base bars running parallel to the smartcap channels, but well inboard. The crossbars are needed to make the attachment perpendicular to the RTT base bars. You would need a RTT that mounted perpendicular to the smartcap channels to have any chance of attaching to the vertical bolts...
23 JTRD, when I pulled the Aux battery, it was reading a volt lower than the main. Put the charger on it and it would only go up to 12.3 and immediately start dropping off when you pulled the charger. This AGM battery is only 1.5yrs old and is junk, the ESS would only work if you drove it for a...
Costco has the Igloo fridge/freezer. I bought one a little over a hear agoâŠvery good price for a big unit! I also have a dometic that is 1/2 the size, for weekenders. The igloo has worked flawlessly and doesnât draw muchâŠWill run on the JTRDâs 400w inverter when driving - solar gen when parked
