There is also room just below the gear shifter for smaller switches. The center console is held in place by 4 bolts and comes up fairly easily once you disconnect the wires under the passenger seat.

Hey Clark! Sorry to hear about your knee surgery :/ Unfortunately the Medano Pass was closed :( I really wanted to do it, but that was the trade off of getting their early enough for a little skiing! I would definitely recommend the Ozarks as a stop, at least for a day or two. We are...

Also, there seem to be Fox people and Teraflex people. Only you can decide which flavor you are :)

Done with dinner, so a little more info to help you out. I upgraded my stabilizer because with bigger (and wider) tires I was feeling the truck getting pulled into potholes. This can be a little scary when going 60-80 as you can imagine. I was looking for something that would lessen the shock...

I have the fancy version (adjustable) of this and quite like it.

Warfab Inc has some nice hitch skids. I'm sure there are others out there too :) I bought mine after I bent the safety chain tab pretty badly. My jeep is lifted and on bigger tires, but I still manage to scrape it on stuff occasionally. Worth the investment IMO :/ Looks like a fun event! Glad...

Also, shoutout to Don @Discount Tire! Thank you for helping me get everything coordinated for the new wheels and tires. It was the most painless tire buying experience I've had so far :) Showed up, and the team already had everything mounted and balanced. I was in and out in 30 minutes <3

good idea :) I may try that as an intermediate step. Just moved into a real house with a REAL garage this weekend. I’m pretty excited not to be working in a parking garage soon! Truck handled the UHaul trailer like a champ.

Thank you. I hear you on the rust risk. Anything mild steel very quickly turns into rust here in Virginia. So far the compressor hardware is holding up well, it’s mostly aluminum and stainless parts. I have had to use a little graphite on the bearing in the quick release connector though. I have...

Just switched to 17” wheels for a bit more grip on the trails. These wheels and tires have served me well for around 12k miles, pictures below of each tire and wheel. Highly recommend the Maxxis tires, they drive great on the road and perform like pros off it :) Wheels are in good shape, but...

Is that their test mule?

That depends on your definition of difficult. If you are comfortable disconnecting your batteries, a few wires, and popping trim panels off... then it’s an easy job :) I recommend googling for it, there are a bunch of guides. See what they do, then make your own call.

I think it comes down to how “enginerdy” you want to get. ARB is a solid compressor, is well known, and has a huge aftermarket in the off-road world. As such, there are lots of easy commercial solutions. Viair is also big, but not as many off-road vendors tailoring to them. I personally like...

1.5 inch is less than the 2 inch mopar lift. I know logic doesn’t work often with dealerships, but it is worth a try pointing that out. Yep, but I assume most of us are doing that with 3 inch and greater lifts + bigger and heavier wheels. At least that is why I swapped my driveshafts out...

Hit the Ozark TAT on our way back through, since we went to Texas heading west. Lots of fun river crossings and camping was $3 a night at both places we stopped! Earned a few scratches from tight trails, and there is a lot of water on the trails near the river. There were a couple mud holes we...

We spent a few days in Moab. It was a week before the Jeep Easter Safari, so things were starting to get crowded. To beat the crowds we stayed out of town and did some of the less “popular” trails. Our favorites were the Boxcar Loop and Eye of the Whale to Tower Arch. Both moderately difficult...

Playing catch-up here, last week was awesome! We went to Sand Dunes and skiing in Colorado. Highly recommend sand dunes for something different. I heard somewhere that sand boarding was more like surfing than skate/long boarding or snowboarding. It was fun figuring it out though :) As mentioned...

That’s a lot of steel, aluminum rocks. That said, your gross vehicle weight is about CYA. It’s based in what will fail first. I think I remember on the Gladiator it’s tires and wheels first. Then brakes, suspension, and axles. Since you are focused on celebrating life and love your build, I...
