Agreed on the Odyssey. My company moves a lot of batteries... mostly private label provided by a solid manufacturer we work with. But Odyssey is the national brand selling next to our private label and they are solid batteries for the applications we support.
This is what I've been thinking through. I am probably going with the @TrailRax because I like their liftable/lockable molle panel design. Adding a panel on the back will give the bed some semblance of security.
But once I get it installed I want to see if there is a way to add canvas panels...
I am getting a Gladiator for me... easy decision. But if Ford can actually get a product to the market I will be tempted when it is time to get a car for my kids to drive next year. As of now I plan to get them a 2 door Wrangler, relatively base. But if the 2-door Bronco is available with the...
We have plans for 3. Gladiator for me. Kids in a Wrangler. Wife in a GC L.
First two will get some mods and off road upgrades. The GC L will stay stock.
I have been researching my next purchase for months. I’ve known I wanted a truck and focused mostly on the full sizes. Regardless of brand I was always drawn to the off-road trims. The Rebel, the Trail Boss, Tremor/FX4, TRD, etc. But each one left a lot to be desired for off road capabilities...
OnX had an opening for Director of Product Management last week. I gave applying a lot of thought but didn’t pull the trigger. Short opening time so maybe they’re just promoting from within. Maybe the new director will implement changes like this.
Yep. I’ve got a boring dad sedan that is going toward my Gladiator. I’ve got time so by selling privately I’m going to pull an extra $3-4 thousand to put toward the Jeep. The market is nuts.
I just visited a dealer to check out a Nacho Willys I was interested in. He told me that for most of their FCA brands order to delivery is a long wait but Jeeps are coming through quick.
He said that for the last few months all customer orders and stock orders that are Jeep are coming through...
For me it comes down to payload. Since over-landing is important to me I want the most payload available. I would go with diesel because of the range and mpg benefits. But I don't want to have to weigh everything I bolt on to keep it within a smaller payload number.
I'm probably being too...
I wouldn’t say this is common and it is definitely a risk to do so. Assuming you can even get approval for the deal everything changes when foreign investment takes over. Actual costs now hit the books...

I want lots of pics too. I love red but can’t get past the orange highlights with the red. Love it on the nacho though.
I need to see more pics of the Mojave orange highlights on red to see if I like it better in real life instead of Jeep marketing images.
I believe @eight13design is waiting to get his hands on the cowl for the new 4Xe to see if he could easily rig up an air connection and switch plate. I really like the work I've seen from him and have high hopes for what he can come up with there.
Do you still have Scott’s contact info? I’m willing to go the Utah for Salt Lake Valley Jeep or back East for Gupton but a short drive to Austin is a nice option to have.
I had a buddy pass away a couple years ago. Lots of adventures together and I still miss her. She was a great dog... eventually becoming a regal old lady. Age caught up to her. This dog was a family dog but there was no question she belonged to me. She was happiest when it was just me and her...
I was researching this today because I intend to go half rack. I found an option from FullVue but I haven't done much to find reviews or installs yet. They have Jeep specific solutions but they also have products with forward facing dash cams that might be a nice add.
If you can get a wire...
I would put it on the back. My uses would more often than not be in a climb or slight incline situation which would put the locker under\behind the center of gravity.
