Ride on! That's a smart move I think, to start kinda minimal and let experience guide you. I went the other direction, I threw the everything and the kitchen sink at it then started stripping away things I didn't use and adding things I wished I had.
I really hope you have a great time in Moab...
Thats awesome! I am glad its working out for you. I commute in an EV frequently (I have access to them as a job perk) and although I love my JT, I want it to last, and I want to put off replacing the motor / trans as long as possible. Its really nice being able to hop into something smaller and...
It's been a trend the last few years of companies advertising these EV products and then by the time they reach fruition, it's 2x or 3x the original advertised price. Tesla and Ford both come to mind.
I'm totally cool with 120-140 miles of range if it keeps the cost in that 25k range. That's...
Interesting - looking forward to learning more about this. Id love a cheap EV commuter for m-f to keep mileage off the JT. Id prolly be able to make the car payment with gas savings.
For the record, I have a pearl white Willy's JT, and Id be happy to trade fenders with the OP. I volunteer as tribute 🤣
I've been keeping an eye on craigslist and such looking for a set of rubi takeoffs but it's pretty rare and they usually want like $4000 or something ridiculous like that
I had a similar experience with my rear diff skid setup - I used the metalcloak "drop" brackets OP referred to for the same reason, sway bar was going to contact. After installed the diff skid and the sway bar brackets, THEN I measured my links and ordered new ones that would get my resting sway...
Stupid question here - what is the value added in having a CB in addition to the GMRS?
Is it just easier to communicate with friends who dont have GMRS, like you can use both, or is there something I am missing?
Im just about done with my pre-summer upgrades for this year, and Ive finished it off by rounding out the theme Im going with for the truck. I replaced a lot of the red accents with chrome ones, repainted a whole bunch of stuff, and added a custom badge that I 3d printed & painted + some custom...
You know, I looked at these in the past, but I recall the specs being pretty lackluster - I may be remembering incorrectly.
Either way, looking at the options listed on the site, they definitely seem to outclass the JL3001. The 8gb ram option is really appealing to me, vs the 4gb my JL3001 has...
I appreciate the suggestion, and I think these are pretty neat, but im not really looking for the whole dash replacement, Id prefer to keep it to just the head unit - thanks!
My JL3001 is still chugging along, but its kinda slow and clunky and every once in a while I like to look and see if there are any new options available.
I went to google to do some looking, curious to see what the latest feedback is on the JL4001 since the launch was flunked by IA, looks like...
Definitely not drivable. It would be unsafe and irresponsible, if not outright illegal. My cousin got pulled over for a scuff like that, spent a year in county. I heard in Russia they hang you for operating a vehicle in this condition.
I cant yall, this is too much ? Troll post of the year ?
Finished up the side box yesterday. Missing photos of a few steps. The chain is a modified door lock, I used a 90° bracket I had in the garage and cut it down / drilled new holes to create the feature on top where the chain and padlock attach. Attached 1/4" x 1/8" weather stripping in a few...
Thank you, I appreciate it. Really excited to get the toolbox finished. I was originally just planning on a bolting a hasp to the front of it - figured it would stop the drawers from coming out and allow me to add a padlock, slam dunk.
Im having trouble finding one that has the dimensions I...
