That looks wicked fun.

Your fuel economy on all four JTs blows my mind. I have a 2022 JT Rubicon on 315/70R17s and (edit: 4.10s), and I rarely see better than 13mpg in day to day driving. If I'm on a long road trip where I'm cruising on the highway all day for multiple days, I can get it up to almost 16mpg, but 17+ is...

It looks like you're still running the 33" Falkens, so you shouldn't notice a difference. I was already running 35" KO2's when I added the winch. I had some mild rubbing at full lock on wheels with +25mm offset, and the weight of the Badlands Apex 12k winch and Bulldog winch plate noticeably...

I keep the back seat clean by keeping it on a shelf in my basement. The pup rides on a Goose Gear with a carpet scrap cut to fit. I gave up on keeping the back doors clean (the drool stains on them match the nose prints on the back windows), but I had good luck with a door card protector like...

Portals!

If your dog is older or has any mobility problems, I can't recommend these stairs highly enough. They're sold under several brand names on Amazon, just make sure you're getting a set with 5 stairs, and DON'T get the "extra wide" version. They're the only stairs or ramp I've found that is...

I use a "hammock" from a JLU for a gear attic, but it doesn't really work if anyone besides my dog is riding in the back seat. Does the Blue Ridge version tuck up tight enough to the headliner to allow a human to sit under it?

I'm six feet even, about 210 pounds, and I drive a 2022 Rubicon with cloth seats and seat heat. This truck has the most uncomfortable seats of any vehicle I've ever owned. Zero bolstering, so I slide around all over the place in normal driving, much less offroad. Even slammed as low as they go...

Stock vehicles with giant wheelwells and 33+ inch tires from the factory have made it way easier to go up in size. With the JTR, I just needed some zip ties on my fender liners to clear 35s. My 1989 K5 Blazer needed 4 inches of lift to clear 33's without trimming the fenders (which I didn't...

Peddlers Glory lunch break

We adopted Huckleberry (Lab/Catahoula mix) when he was already about 9, after his old owner died. We're convinced that they had a Jeep, because he never chases cars, but he'll try to follow any Wrangler that he sees. First time we put the leash on him, he walked right up to our JT that he had...

Good thing you got a tandem, that thing looks like a beast to wrestle on and off the rack. Happy paddling!

That color looks SHARP! I'll echo what others have said... Don't jump into major mods too fast. Take the family out cruising some back roads, go on some fire roads and easy trails, and get a feel for the truck. That will show you what you do or don't want to change. If you can find a wheeling...

Just day-to-day, I keep almost all of my recovery gear in the 60% side of my Goose Gear: ARB deflator and Stauns Snatch strap Tree saver winch controller and cable snatch block 2-3 soft shackles and "real" shackles Air compressor Chunk of pressure treated 2x12 for a jack base I also keep...

Start by browsing this section of the forum and the "Winches and Recovery Tools" section. There are a ton of installation threads, so you can see what luck people have had with different winches. (I have the HF Badlands Apex 12k, so I can't really advise on Warns.) One point that you probably...

Any excuse!

Better not... If I woke up tomorrow and my 12.5mpg was even worse just because someone in DC doesn't like ESS, I'd be pretty angry.

I finally got to use my winch for something besides pulling stumps. Over the weekend, I ran Peddlers Glory with some friends (video of the trail from last time I ran it), and my buddy got his JK on 37s so high centered on a log that all four tires were off the ground. A quick tug from the Apex...

I didn't see a thread for this yet. Stellantis pauses Jeep Gladiator production due to parts issue Stellantis NV paused production of Jeep Gladiator pickups in Toledo this week as it works to "align parts inventory with demand," the automaker said. The Toledo Assembly Complex's south plant that...

There were whales, but they were still fresh.
