I have the Clayton 3.5” HD rears and I’m extremely happy. ACCC, usually 2 adults, 2 large dogs, all their stuff, water food supplies, 100 lbs of telescope gear, 15 gallons of fuel… I’ve bottomed out maybe once or twice at speed and it flexes well when crawling. Big fan. The 3.5” fronts sit...

Definitely not - it’s easy to work inside. I got zero options at install and have been working through electrical bit by bit. It’s pre-wired for solar (unless you buy a much older camper used, apparently) and the solar wiring is quality and ready to go. In fact I had to re-do my installer’s...

Necro but might as well add, +1 on right tool for the job and that's heat gun. Recently I needed to remove a loctited motor mount nut (adding the support strap for an engine skid pate underneath it) and my trusty propane torch had become full of dead spiders or whatever. Absolutely would not...

How hard was it to get that EGR pipe out? It's such a dense engine bay... (Can't help beyond that, sounds like you're doing the diagnosis all correctly)

I've run the numbers. Me getting 19.4mpg diesel avg long term (my actual 20k+ modded JTRD mileage), no regear, with additional initial / oil / filter / DEF / EDT / etc costs - vs 3.6 + 4Auto + regear at (based on real reports from similarly equipped Jeeps) 12-14 mpg, using local fuel costs and...

Would be interesting to compare to a filter changed at 7500 miles, which I guess is the current post-recall guidance from Jeep?

And what’s the actual weight? Want to compare to my steel bumper setup

I have a bunch of soft zippered pouches that I stuff under there. Intended as luggage organizers, originally. One has all my tire inflation kit (hoses, deflaters, gauge ets), one has jumper cables, etc. Only thing lacking is a bungee or strap to hold them in place - but they never seem to...

necro but since it got topped, I may as well add: Sand in the front footwell is like tiny ball bearings. I never realized how much I relied on friction from the carpet under my feet until getting rid of it. (May be related to having a pretty high lift and having to do some gymnastics to vault in)

I'm a huge fan of this bag: https://www.atlas46.com/online-store/Yorktown-Tool-Roll%C2%AE-Original-p88260008 (or there are some cheaper copies of it around). It's a 5-pouch tool roll on one side, and sleeved roll for wrenches on the other. I kept outgrowing and wearing through various...

Yes, but only if you follow the exact line I did, with rocks stacked the same as they were for me. We did a lot of fine tuning the rock stacking.

Check the min height on any bottle jack you consider, some that reach high enough may be too tall to fit under the axle with a completely flat tire. Have to get creative rolling up on rocks in that case. Many are fine, just something to know beforehand (I went with a HMMWV M998 scissor jack...

Sure thing

I think the ideal thing would be to mount that in the middle, under the center bar, so there's minimal exterior wire and all of it is protected against dragging tree branches and sun. But unfortunately, there's no clean and easy way to get through the interior roof insulation without making a...

Clayton 3.5" lift here (though loaded down to about the same ride height as a 2.5"). Though the springs / lift don't matter; what matters is what contacts at full stuff. FYI my 37"-12.5 Yokohama X-ATs just barely touch the rear inner plastic liners with 2.5" of Metalcloak's hard rubber pads (I...

Ah sorry, assumed too much. Yeah, in your case no reason not to put the cable entry at the front and save a bit of cable run. Are you hardwiring thru a gland or using an Anderson style connector?

I assume you don't own one yet? The reason is, the Canopy Camper comes pre-wired for roof solar. It's an Anderson 50-amp connector, it's already mounted in the rear passenger side corner, and it's already wired along the inner right edge, through the cable raceway above the windows, and drops...

You can go to Hollister any time you want for $5 and there isn't a hard trail there (except Tank Traps which is only for buggies, unless you want to roll over and winch every body panel over rocks) Hard to recommend for $500 no matter how good the pizza is. Honestly it's a good park to go as a...

Timely advice!

Watching... good question. I've checked mine a couple times, seems fine, not like photos I've seen of 2020s/2021s. But I'd hate for one of the retainers to give up and for it to move closer to the hot stuff. Baling wire to back up the zips?
