  1. 38 Patagonias

    I’m thinking about getting those after my current 37s wear out. I have a 3.5ā€ lift, and I’m pretty confident I have plenty of room.
  2. Michael's slow and steady Gobi Overland build

    Katzkins were installed today. I am very happy with the way they turned out. The color is almost a perfect match.
  3. 4.88 or 5.13 w/37”?

    Update since I commented a while back: I ended up going with 4.88, and I’m very happy. It seems like the original debate was 4.56 or 4.88 for 37s, and once everyone decided 4.88 was the answer, the debate shifted to 4.88 or 5.13. Now that more people are going with 5.13, there’s a subset of...
  4. Gears for 37" tires

    Rubitrux is in Boone. They have a great reputation, and if they weren’t five hours away from me, they’d have done my gears.
  5. Michael's slow and steady Gobi Overland build

    Hood decal thoughts? 1) Nothing. Leave it alone. 2) ā€œGladiatorā€ in Rubi font/colors 3) ā€œOverlandā€ in Rubi font/colors 4) ā€œGladiatorā€ or ā€œOverlandā€ in some other color scheme 5) Something else?
  6. Trying to finalize Overland deal

    Wow! My Jeep hasn’t looked like that for a while. MSRP was $52,650, and my OTD price was $43,446.70. Here is a recent shot in from of my mom’s barn.
  7. Previously owned favorite vehicles

    ā€˜94 Grand Cherokee - nothing special, but it was my first Jeep and a huge upgrade from the champagne colored Saturn SC2 with a a leaky sunroof and pop up headlights and the royal blue Pontiac Sunbird with matching blue upholstery ā€˜05 TJ - I bought it in the fall of ā€˜06 with 8000 miles on it. It...
  8. Michael's slow and steady Gobi Overland build

    I nearly forgot about this thread! Here is the list of mods from the original post with an update on where I am: I finally got around to installing 4.88 gears last week, and the ride quality is a night and day difference. I also had the pleasure of replacing my windshield at 20,000 miles...
  9. Where do you reside? Wondering which state is best represented on this forum?

    I'm one of the many North Carolinians. Kinston/Greenville area by way of Raleigh, and Lexington before that.
  10. Read an article... The word 'Mojave' appeared.

    Thank you for being the voice of reason in this thread.
  11. Mods you regret

    4.88
  12. Mods you regret

    This is my fourth Jeep, so I have learned a lot from previous mistakes. No regrettable mods yet on my JT. On the TJ: tube steps and tube bumpers. Oof. They were replaced in less than a year. Expensive mistake. On the first JKU: Nothing that I can really recall. I only owned it for a little...
  13. 3.73 gearing with 37s

    I bought an Overland on April 10 and installed a 3.5ā€ lift and 37ā€ tires 1400 miles later. I finally regeared to 4.88 yesterday at 20,000 miles, and I’m kicking myself for not doing it months ago. It doesn’t feel like the same Jeep anymore. The 3.73 gears were barely drivable, but the Jeep...
  14. Vid: 37’s and 4.88’s on highway

    I dropped my Overland (3.73 gears) off at the shop this morning to get 4.88s installed. I suffered long enough with stock gears and 37s. I picked it up about an hour ago, and it’s such a night and day difference. I can’t wait to drive it for a couple hundred miles and see how it affects my mileage.
  15. Katzkin - Color for Gobi? (Thread title edited)

    I played with the site for what seems like HOURS. This is what I ended up choosing. "Cream" is the factor color match for Gladiators, according to the Katzkin rep I talked to. I like this a lot.
  16. Katzkin - Color for Gobi? (Thread title edited)

    I’ve been playing with options on the site all evening. I’m kind of liking the top one (at the suggestion of ā¬†ļø.
  17. Katzkin - Color for Gobi? (Thread title edited)

    I'm going with Katzkin over the Ruff Tuff and looking for the best color option for my Gobi with body colored fenders and top. I like the dark saddle interior, and it looks like the Mahogany on the Katzkin site is a pretty close match. Any thoughts?
  18. 'Retro' Graphics Option?

    I want to see retro graphics on a Gobi, preferably with body colored flares and top. Anyone able to help me out?
