Just food for thought here guys, but check with your local state police or whoever to make sure it doesn't violate your state's windshield obstruction laws. I ran into the issue when I was mounting my Garmin Tread Overland XL. AZ and Cali are really tight with their restrictions...
Yeah, personally I like this mounting position: on the frame behind the bumper on either side. That's where I mounted mine. You can just see the ICON emblem name in there.
2020 Rubicon with factory steel bumper in case anyone was wondering...
They had a cat that couldn’t fly and they were just the worst drivers. They finally sold their house in FL last year and I’ve now been reprieved. LOL
After I retired and my folks got too old to drive safely, I had to make that drive twice a year from Napa, CA to Lakeland, FL so they could be snowbirds. Gave me PTSD
Having driven across both of those states more times than I can count, I can firmly say that I10 across Texas is infinitely worse than both of those combined!! OMG
While it does seem chintzy, it actually makes since. I have watched buddies smack a fender when the rock they were going over suddenly tipped the vehicle drastically popping the fender off. If there weren't "breakaway" clips, the option would be bent body panels, stripped out sheet metal screw...
FWIW, the solve for the desert is a snorkel with the cylone intake.

60's here and I'm certainly feeling 20 years of playing rugby (which I didn't start until I was 30) and ~15 years of rock climbing before that!
Funny story: When I was dating my now-wife back around 1995, I had dragged her to a huge rugby tournament up in South Dakota. I didn't go with a team...
You know the funny thing about that? I went through that whole rigamarole when my first Aux Battery died; but unfortunately when mine died, I was 10 miles out in the backcountry. I had to get a ride from someone else into town, buy a new battery and get back to the Jeep and replace it to get...
FWIW, I've been running a full RPM Steering set up on my Gladiator for over a year now and have had no issues. Luckily for me they are actually located less than a mile from where I live so I was able to visit with the owner and his son....great guys; superior product.
I run SteerSmarts/Yeti...
I also like the compactness and tidy storage of the factory unit. I like scissor jacks in general. After looking at various other scissor jacks, here's what I decided to do:
Since I'm running 37's, the factory jack is too short; so I made a base to elevate the jack. This is two 4x4 blocks...
AMEN!! That was my upbringing and my kids learned the same lessons. I watch how my wife's brother and sister raise their kids (we are both older than her siblings and our kids are now adults while their kids are in high school and younger), kids that they will not say "No" to and they are holy...

@Jteakus -tell your story, the thread title asks for it
Now this is not as cool of a story as the OP's, but I'll share. I grew up in a town of 2000 in rural Kentucky in the late 60's early 70's. My dad had a '69 Bronco and then a '71 Bronco, so I grew up in those; but my uncle had a...
