The diesel is going to be down on power from the Pentastar, but up on torque. It will be interesting to see what the final numbers are on the Ecodiesel once it is put into the JT and how that translates to drive-ability.

Those are the same reasons I'm waiting to see what the true numbers are going to be on the diesel. My JKUR sucks pulling a small overland trailer over the Rockies... granted, it is on 37s and regeared to 5.13s.

Their site shows the hing on the front (or back depending on how you look at it) of the bed. It looks like it would be a single nut on each hing to free the front. There are no pics that show how the gas struts attach to the bed, but if you could leave the struts in the bed, there would be on...

Great job guys! Do you have any plans to add mounting holes to the RTT mounts for additional storage options? What about a higher rack for those that want their tent up higher? Speaking of the RTT, do you know how high the bottom of the tent is with your current mounts (what size lift and...

Thanks @ACE Engineering . Do the inside latch brackets have any gusseting to them? I've got a set of Rugged Ridge tube doors for my JKUR and the metal bracket that holds the inside latch (it is just an L bracket really... whick it looks like yours is as well) tends to bend just slightly over...

Go to the manufacture's site for the tires you want to run and it will tell you what size rim range you need for those tires. Then look for a wheel that you like in that range. You'll have to do some math (but there are online calculators for it) on the other wheel specs like...

The looks of these are starting to grow on me. Do you have any pics of what they look like on the inside? Close ups of the latching mechanisms?

Please allow my self to quote, my self. lol No need to go do a search, 15 out of the 27 people that replied in this very thread would like a watertight version.

Looking good so far.

A couple of weeks ago I pulled into the Home Depot and saw a black JT with a trailer parked. There was not a spot next to it, so I parked my JKUR with trailer a row over. When I came out, the JT had moved over to park next to me. LOL I can't watch his movies anylonger, but it is still a good...

Thanks for the link. I had seen the prototype photos on their site, but missed the finished product announcement. Like you, I really hope they end up offering a water and dust proof version. I think I might personally be fine with part of a hard shell RTT going over the back part of the cab...

Really cool looking product. I've got several of your products on my JKUR and have been really happy with them. This would be the perfect tonneau cover and RTT solution if it was only waterproofed. You guys should seriously offer an upgraded version that is water and dust proof. Just do a...

I ran 13.5" on my JKUR for the first set of 37s I had. Fro the second set I went back down to 12.5". I really like the look of the wider tires, but it was just not worth the extra weight and wear and tear. The 13.5" used a lot more rubbing and pinch seam cutting, even with a 4" lift and full...

You have to be honest with yourself about what you will be doing with your JT. On my JKUR I went from 35s to 37s and both love and hate the 37s. I live in CO and at the time it was both my daily driver and my rock crawler. I'd typically run 20+ rock crawling trails a year. So I used the 37s...

The PCOR system looks really sweet, but I personally can't justify $15k entry price for the functionality it gives. I looked at the Jame Baroud tents back before I bought my soft side and they are nice. I just went to their site again this morning and all of their hard side/top tents appear to...

@smlobx That looks like a great adventure and thanks for the info. I'll store this away for future reference.

I'd really be interested in hearing about your experiences doing this kind of safari if you ever find the time. My son and I were watching the Discovery show Serengeti last night and Jeep is giving away a $20k safari as part of their sponsorship of that series. My son turned to me and said...

The Go Fast Camper looks good as well. It rated pretty good on the Expedition Portal shootout. the 7 month wait time is pretty crazy. I just hope their customer service after the sale is not hampered by that.

I just came across those Roofnest RTT the other week, they do look nice and the price is not bad on them. I was also checking out that safari site you linked to about a month ago. Have you written any trip reports from any of those outings and shared them some place?

I really like my RTT, it is the gray one in the pic below. The trailer and tan tent were loners from some friends for that trip. As I've done more and more overland style trips, I think I'd do a hard shell RTT if I was to do it again and money was not an issue. Being able to hard mount my...
