do we have a weight for the shell? and can a rack/bars be mounted on top? if so what is the allowable load? thx

car salesmen have a bad rep for a simple reason, they deserve it. i usually dont paint with such a broad brush but i make an exception when dealing with this group. go test drive one, regardless of what you think of it tell 'em you dont like it and youre heading over to the ford dealer. you...

are you a AAA member? AAA has a car buying program. here in AZ if you're invested in a vehicle they will bring it to their office so you can test drive without any sales pressure.

before i even rode in a jeep i wanted one. i thought this was the coolest dang commercial growing up. i got my first jeep in high school and have had one, almost, ever since. there was a short time in college i didnt have one, had a triump tr6. it was a blast to drive but man it was broke more...

rant on/// ok...this genuinely pisses me off. i've an '06 LJ that does this. i've said it's a jeep thing, they screwed this one up, meh...first world problem. and here we are with a design 14 years later and it's doing it again. this truck aint cheap, and yeah, this is a first world vehicle...

i had not seen that thread psy, thanks for the link. i'm crunched for time so rather than load the rack/bike into the truck i snapped a pic on the patio. this wont work in a JT, too long. but this is how i'm using the thule in the ford. with the front wheel turned off to the side i then use a...

i didn't have a gladiator yet. i just placed my order last week. in about 2.5-3 mos i should have it. grrrrr but, i'll try and get you some pics tomorrow of it in my ford. the ford's bed length is 5-1/2'. my full suspension mtb fits fine using the thule and some reverse engineering. i'm not...

i've used kuat and rocky mount hitch racks and never had a problem. i've had over $10k worth of bikes on them at a time and never been nervous about them coming loose. now, getting rear ended...that's another story. i also have a couple of these...

man, i saw an ARE topper on a taco this week in flagstaff, it looked sharp. it looked like an overland style top but when i went to the ARE website i wasn't able to locate it. i'm not so sure it wasnt a commercial/fleet topper that they were using for rec purposes. the leading edge of the topper...

thanks guys. this summer i hope to make a couple of trips to colorado and really want to get black bear under my belt. i've seen all kinds of SWB vehicles on the trail but didnt know if a longer WB vehicle could make some of the switchbacks. obviously they can! thank you cheers, j-

thx much. i knew JK's did it, just didnt know if, even with a 3 pt, or 5, or 13 pt turn if a longer vehicle could make it around a couple of the switchbacks. i've never done BB, haven't done any off-road stuff in CO, ever. had jeeps since HS, offroaded in the midwest and TX. kid is off in...

in their JT? with the switchbacks there have to be some 23 pt turns. or is it too long?

to me it looks like a scrambler on steroids.

welcome to the addiction. thank goodness i've got such a wonderful, understanding wife, who is ok with this addiction. i'm placing my order for my gator rubicon this week. now, regarding your quest. the wife and i are in our early 50s. i sleep through the night, so far, so nightly potty breaks...

ive never done any ice climbing but id love to go to ouray in the middle of winter...cuz it's there. i needed a reason other than "cuz it's there" for the wife so i asked if she wanted to go to an ice festival. she's game.

https://www.trailsoffroad.com/states/WA i like this site to get an idea of what is in an area that i'm interested in. if youre married make sure you have a bank acct for counseling in the event that your wife doesnt understand your new addiction.

in high school my grandpa left me his 1970 chevy pickup when he died. i sold it and bought my first jeep. wish i still had the pickup. dude pulled out in front of me one night when he was leaving the hospital to see someone, i hit the brakes but it had been raining and i slid into him, totaled...

canopy looks nice. i thought those were the analog, i ordered 5 on black friday. thanks

tell your "friend" that was a rookie move. there are incognito and "spy" settings for many browsers now. although i dont know if the phone has these. they dont save the history. at least not on the surface...that i understand. i'm sure some turbo-nerd can see what was browsed on them but i've no...
