Pretty much like thinkers . . . my exploits will be focussed on "over-landing" i.e.; getting to a fly fishing destination way off the beaten path - well not always "way off," but far enough so I'm not dealing with the party crowd, or RV revelers ! At 68, not into "Rock" (and Roll) crawling...
Guess you'll just have to PM Stephen707 and politely ask him if he can "explain" - it's "his Baby" ! Let us all know if you find your "pot of gold" from him ! ;)
Hi Steph . . . NO, but my LIKE is for your later video find . . . what folks won't do for a "Cold One" ! ? :LOL:
My Brothers (we spoke of) Keg Box Reefer was just as Large but more square with a front door - like a conventional mid sized Fridge. It only had One Tap, but you could also...
I like your thinking . . . and is why I get SO anxious whenever I take my $42K G.C. off into the "woods" and the Forestry Service "roads" and BLM Land Trails. Many I take are narrowed by encroaching bush limbs which have added some "painful" pin striping to my "baby" ! I'll get them...
Apparently so . . . Ricky, don't loose that # ! Which makes it still appealing to me over the Gobi (lighter brown/tan?) color.
It will still reflect (as we have seen) more of the "green" in different light. Stealthy in the woods ? ;)
5jeepsAZ, hi . . . I see your still living in a different "Time Zone" ! Is it "Back to the Future" with ya ? Or has the newly discovered Black Hole (in Space) started sucking you in ? :involve: . Keep the "old-timey" stuff alive . . . some a bit before my time - to young to remember 1st...
I'll hold my "judgement" - not really; I won't be judgmental about this tragic event or the folks involved ! edit - oops, I'm actually referring to the other event with the JLU and the woman, but my lessons learned or that could be learned still apply, imo.
Just gonna wait for whatever is...
Yea what he said . . . nicely stated. Point being I think, that you just get what fits your wants & needs, and perhaps some wishful thinkings along the way too !
JLU or JT Sports . . . either fits my bill. scraping bottom not gonna be an issue to the extent of "real damages" that may...
Seems after the dust settles, we seem to have some common ground . . . I agree, and Casey it is !
Good Luck with keeping damages to a minimum . . . but then again IF your willing to "go out on a limb" with your new truck, I guess the repair cost factor doesn't become an issue of you, like...
Well. I certainly hear you and can't "argue" with your points about The "Skill Level of the Driver" ! THAT can make all the difference, BUT, I made no reference to the person behind the wheel . . . simply apples to apples aftermarket builds of both the JT & JLU -- the JLU "wins" in most off...
Just a note, for those of us unable to make the journey down to or over from . . . Moab to visit all the Vendor booths; there is another Event taking place just south of Missoula, Montana - July 19, 20 & 21 . The Vendor List is quite substantial and growing ! It is similar to the OverLand...
I have NO doubt . . . that . . . You can make it work . . . you have the skills, the tools, and yes dare I say it? the plywood, shhh.
Not to mention the "love of beer" . . . our little secret, again shhhh .
And this is why OverLand drivers should stick to the pavement . . . :facepalm: ! Bet THAT was embarrassing at least, and maybe a "Brown Streak Enhancer" too ? Gladiators were NOT built as a Rock Crawling Beast. Even if you put Thousands into a Lift, Wheels & Tires as big as your...
Gee, wonder how the breaker-inners gonna fare with the Soft Top Version - it has NO beer window ? Could be difficult, and besides how's a "beer Guy" like Stephen gonna get to his German Pilsner from the Keg-Tap mounted just inside-center of the rear seat ? COME ON !
Baby steps Steph, baby steps. The article is probably correct in the "after 2020" scenario at best, but an FCA "surprise" certainly would be an unexpected nicety ! I'd be happy with the (also) suggested Pentastar 3.6 upgrades - perhaps a Turbo similar in fashion to the current 2.0L in the...
Also, the length of the JT will increase the potential for Jarring and bouncing back in the bed . . . I will be adapting the rear seating area for my Fridge Freezer - of choice; SnoMaster model CL56D, a true 2 lid / 2 compartment freezer & fridge.
this is from their "Classic Series at ~ 59qts...
I find this "thought?" not well planned or thought out ! Apples & Oranges is the simplest way to state a response, simple as that . . . and just as Apples and Oranges are so vastly different, we too are as different as the Entire Fruit & Vegetable bins of life. Get what "works" for YOU ...
DON'T NEGLECT looking at SnoMaster -- AC /DC, all models, so you can utilize the 110v bed outlet if yu choose or the 110 outlet behind front seat . This is the brand I will be getting THIS year for initial use in the G.C. ! Mine will be the DUAL version of either the Classic or Expedition...
A NICE MEDIUM-BROWN SADDLE STAIN WOULD HAVE A WARM-INVITING LOOK TO IT WITH THE GATOR EXTERIOR ! In cloth or leather . The current "tan" thing, not so much ! I would definitely have my cloth tan seat covers professionally stained darker, if I go with Gator ! If I go Sting Gray, then...
