Finally got around to installing the Quadratec Headliner Kit and threw on some NXTGen Blind Spot Mirrors. Also got the solar gland and the Renogy 200W Shadowflux from my old truck installed to power my Bluetti AC200L. It was a bit unnerving drilling a huge hole in my Alu-Cab Contour Canopy, but...

The wife’s JLU Sport S came with road tires. My JTR came with the Falken ATW3. I routinely run hours on the highway, and I really cant tell any difference in tire/road noise. Now granted, she has a soft top and I have a hard top, so the wind noise is more in hers. To me, it wouldn’t be worth...

I really like that Warn bumper. If I don’t go stubby (which I don’t really need for overlanding) I am going to go with the Warn.

It worked for Subaru. Kind of wondering why it took Stellantis so long. 😂

I have been running at 37. Seems about right. I have not chalk tested. More than 37 feels bouncy. That is on a Rubicon with Alu-Cab and Decked system.

AEV has a relocation kit that moves the factory camera to the bull bar on their bumper. It can probably be adapted to another, but I prefer the angle that the factory location gives. I mainly use it to make sure I am not rubbing another car when parking. 😂 It looks like with the Fab Fours...

That is perfect. Exacty what I needed to see. Now I just have to decide if I want to lose my fog lights.

Looks interesting. I currently have a Alu-Cab Contour Canopy because of the weight savings. Not sure if this would offer any benefit for my use case, but it looks like a neat design.

I am seriously considering adding the Fab Fours Ghost Stubby bumper to my Gladiator. I have the factory front Trail Cam installed. I would like to buy the “pre-runner bar” version of the bumper, but I am wondering how much the bumper will obscure the view from the Trail Cam. Does anyone have...

Looks good. Hopefully this weekend I can get my 200W Renogy panel installed on my Alu-Cab Canopy. I am using a Bluetti AC200L to run my IceCo APL55. In my Silverado, it was generally self-regenerating unless I had a couple of days of bad weather. In the truck, I just charged from solar although...

LOL….don’t know about your wife, but mine was raised on manual transmissions. Her JLU is one of the few vehicles she has owned that has an auto. My last truck was a 5-speed and it made backing a travel trailer up an inclined driveway an interesting experience. That and the gear ratios are...

When I purchased our Gladiator I researched both the Rubicon and Mojave trims, but I guess I missed that there was a seat difference. Heated leather seats were a requirement no matter what trim I went with. I also knew I wanted a hard top. I really didn’t enjoy long trips with the Wife’s...

Nice. 2-3k road trips are the norm for us. We did one large western national park loop in the Wife‘s JLU Sport pulling a tiny camper. I really disliked the seats in that one. I am 6’/180 and athletic, but the seats were not very comfortable. That almost prevented me from getting my Gladiator...

You could do that if you treated it like a rechargeable appliance. However, if you are constantly recharging by alternator or solar, it gets a little more complex. My battery is actually just my reserve to get me through the night. The last setup, in the desert, was self-regenerating. By the...

I havent swapped the system over to the Gladiator yet, but in my Silverado, I ran a APL55 fridge and Starlink on a Bluetti AC200L power station that was mounted in the bed. I did have 12V power routed to the bed, but the power station charged almost exclusively from a 200W solar panel on the...

What is the total weight? Painted or powdercoated? Stainless hardware? It looks really interesting, but my Jeep stays outside so corrosion resistance is important.

That is pretty much what I am looking for I wasn’t sure if the U-strut nuts would work. Guess I can always just return them if they don’t. Thanks

I looked at the Westin, and I was intrigued. The remote lock/unlock really interested me, but it’s still a modular canopy and the Alu-Cab is solid. I intend to do a lot of rough roads and desert running, so less hardware to shake loose is a bonus. I was able to find a Alu-Cab four hours away for...

I just bought a used Alu-Cab Contour Canopy. The owner supplied some third party rails to mount the canopy. They didn’t come with any tie-downs. They are only marked “Versabar.” I can’t find any information on them in an internet search and I would like to find some tie-down eyes that will work...

Extended warranties are rarely worth it. They are a huge profit margin for the companies because they will try to deny everything they can and often purchasers don’t understand the limits of the warranty. The amount of money that I have saved by not purchasing any extended warranty on any...
