  1. Production Electric Jeep Magneto EV? Meet the Magna Jeep Gladiator EtelligentTerrain

    Read the full article headline: ā€œDid We Drive the Production Electric Jeep Magneto? Meet the Magna Jeep Gladiator EtelligentTerrainā€ and keep in mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines ā€œBetteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in...
  2. Heretic Brewery in Fairfield 11/19

    y'all don't know me, but I'd be down to join in the future. As above, too hectic this weekend (going on a weeklong wheeling trip starting today)
  3. Attica 4x4 - Rear Fender Flare Storage System

    Typo on the bed rack price…
  4. Wanda the Wanderer: JTRD with Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Added a Purple Cranium front diff guard to sorta go with the rear. I like it; simple, fairly light, very rugged. I'll admit the stock cover plus this isn't as aesthetic as the heavy duty covers out there with contrasting machined accents and whatnot. Still it seems to make more sense to me to...
  5. Considering the exhaust loop...

    I just recently went through all those stages of grief as you describe. The 20% BF discount going right now is the best you're going to get (been tracking this for years). Shipping Colorado-California was $316.
  6. Metalcloak gamechanger lift on 35s JTRD

    Can you link it? I looked and didn't see anything like that...
  7. Tazer mini questions

    Even assuming the same tires... If you want to be precise, it'll be particular to your truck. Everyone loads the bed differently, from completely empty to way over GWVR, with tire pressures, temperatures, altitudes all over the place. All those factors affect the distance from the rear hub to...
  8. Looking at an auxiliary fuel tank

    Hm! Looks like you're right, I stand corrected. Could it be LHD/RHD differences? Looks like the Aussie fill cap is on the left, same as US. Maybe the exhaust comes out a different direction around the transmission...
  9. Looking at an auxiliary fuel tank

    I think the company started as The Long Ranger in Australia, and uses Long Range America in USA. The product looks exactly the same
  10. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

    I guess to restate the root problem here, I'm running at what I feel is close to a bare minimum loadout and the total weight is not where I want it to be. If a relatively small project like this, doable with the shop tools I have available, could save 25 lbs here and 25 lbs there, that would...
  11. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

    Thanks - that will be useful data to scope the rear seat project. The info I'm currently collecting is the 4x8 sheet weight of various options - like for instance a common 0.36" thick corrugated-core fiberglass laminate is 27 lbs per sheet, compared to 48 lbs for 1/2" baltic birch. About the...
  12. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

    Has anyone had the plywood bed platform off? Wondering how it's secured to the frame. I assume sheet metal screws through the plywood, into the frame from above, then carpeted afterward and tucked under the edge with a tool... Background is, I'm looking at building a seat delete platform and...
  13. To winch or not to winch

    Sure, I’ll bite. Cost had nothing to do with it (but FWIW my Blue Sea 6006 switch is like $25-30, so yeah it is a little cheaper). I didn't want to eat up one of my four aux switches (and I’d like to keep it to just the four, not add an additional controller and tons of wiring). But the main...
  14. Alpine radio worth it

    Iā€˜ve only ever heard the factory Alpine speakers that come with the 8.4, but I think they’re trash and couldn’t wait to get rid of them. IMHO it doesn’t matter what you get, as you should replace it all first thing.
  15. Wanda the Wanderer: JTRD with Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I put a Next Venture Motorsport rear diff skid on. 21 lbs of pure 1/4" steel beef. Very solid. Only thing I noticed about the install is their lower diff cover replacement hardware. The stock screws are 10.9 M8x1.25x20mm hex head flange bolts, and the extra 1/4" steel mounting rib wouldn't...
  16. To winch or not to winch

    One of these: https://www.warn.com/power-interrupt-kit-62132 Throw away the switch that comes with it. Wire one of your AUX lines to the trigger input. Probably cheaper at other sources of your choice. It's an Ametek SAS-4214, but similar solenoids are available lots of places.
  17. Looking at an auxiliary fuel tank

    I hear you. I've done a lot of trips around Death Valley where you can burn half a tank just getting from the closest gas station to the trailhead, so I used to carry four 20L jerry cans for gasoline. Be aware though, most people on this board live in the east and can't really understand...
  18. Looking at an auxiliary fuel tank

    I saw that Rugged Ridge bumper too... looks like a lot of extra weight, in the worst possible place (pulling weight off the front axle, adding more than its own weight to the rear axle). Same goes for the heavy things you might mount on it (spare, jack, water etc). Is the extra 18.5 gallons...
  19. YOOO... that first clip of the drive shaft ?

    That show makes my skin crawl. So horrifying. Good reminder that the car next to you could just explode at any time, and drive accordingly
  20. To winch or not to winch

    +1 if you're not certain that you need it, you probably don't. Maybe that will change in the future, in which case you can add one later
