  1. True Trail Gladiator Build

    I didn’t. I think the mods do that when they highlight a thread on the front page. Sorry!
  2. True Trail Gladiator Build

    Nice! I’m envious of that covered bed cab. Your setup looks awesome! It’s funny, I tried to install that same air dam on my hood, but I gave up after it arrived damaged in it’s sealed package twice in a row

    Recovery Gear Part 1 - Tools A lot of people read "off-road recovery" and they think "winch". That's a useful thing to have, but I thought I'd start by discussing tools. Not the tools you keep in your garage for modifying your Jeep, but the ones you keep in your Jeep for when things go wrong...
  4. Jtops Sunshade Review

    Wow, see, here's the flipside: I can't overstate how much I hate this product. The install was miserable, I can't keep the bars in the rollbar grooves they belong in, the magnet is annoying to deal with, and the true killer for me: they're insanely loud when driving, even at just 35-40 mph. I...
  5. Expedition One Dual Tire Swing Bumper Install/Review

    I'm really curious to hear how tough the install was and how easy it is to swing those doors open, especially under a heavy load
  6. True Trail Gladiator Build

    Just my 2c, but if I were you I wouldn't bother with the ESS. You're talking about a LOT more wiring and fiddling inside your Jeep's engine compartment versus just ignoring the ESS and wiring your new stuff straight to your alternator. I think: It'll be easier to do that way It'll be easier to...
  7. True Trail Gladiator Build

    By the way, if you're a prospective JT buyer, I should warn you... once you get a Jeep, everyone else in the family will want one too!
  8. Up to 7% off in Idaho

    You're all good, here's a post I just made 2 days ago with all the details, the exact costs of everything, and how the process went (along with some advice if you go that route)
  9. True Trail Gladiator Build

    Actually, I'm not. The beauty of using a relay (solenoid) is that it requires VERY low power to operate. The Jeep's Auxiliary switch is only switching the relay on and off. That's nothing. It's the relay itself that's connecting or disconnecting the winch from the battery. The wire Warn gives...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 7 -Bedding and Lighting Okay, this is my last non-Jeep-specific overlanding/camping post (for now). I just realized I hadn't mentioned what happens at night. Lighting I love, love, love, love, love Energizer LED Headlamps. That link is for the new model (which...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 6 - Packing the Truck You've got a bunch of gear. Now you need to carry it. Obviously this will be different for everyone, but I got asked by someone on here how I fit that stuff in, so here goes. Note - while this will obviously change some with each trip I take...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 5 - Water I'm just about done discussing camping gear for now, but no list would be complete without mentioning water. You need water to drink. To wash dishes. To clean yourself with. Did I mention to drink? You run low on water and all of a sudden tensions are...
  13. True Trail Gladiator Build

    Actually, I'm not sure I'm getting your drift. Talk it through. What I think you're saying is that you want to remove the ESS battery, then just move it and reuse it in the bed of the truck, so that the alternator can just handle charging it along with your solar panel arrays? How big is a JT...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 4 - Fire! Fire! We're out in the wilderness. It's getting dark. We want a fire. It's a primitive need, we all have it. Look, there are a MILLION collapsible fire pits out there. It seems like every overlanding or outdoor company has at least one with their brand...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 3 - The Bathroom Birds do it. Bees do it. (I think.) We all have to poop. But our truck took us somewhere that's nowhere near a bathroom, not even a pit toilet. So, what options do we have? Option 1: Dig a hole, shit in the hole. This is a pretty simple one! You...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 2 - Camp Furniture It's not enough to have a stove and some dishes. Your family is going to want to sit down to eat. They're going to want a prep table. And you're going to want chairs for lounging around and enjoying the fire. Chairs Nothing beats FrontRunner...

    Overlanding/Camping Gear Part 1 - Cooking Okay, I'm going to veer away from the Jeep itself for a minute and focus on using the Jeep to go camping. A lot of this is newer gear just because before I went camping with a child I did a whole different level of ultra-light camping, so most of my...
  18. True Trail Gladiator Build

    Honestly... ehhh. It's neat, but I don't know that it's worth the $300 if your steering is already good. If you don't currently have any steering issues, I'd say wait 2-3 years, and if your steering starts getting a little loosey goosey, then, yeah, this might help and be well worth the expense...

    RokBlok MudFlaps (Part 2) Okay, I just pulled my front passenger mud flap off and took some pictures in the hopes it could help answer your question. Looking back from the front tire, the mud flap is held on my three bolts, two on the top and one off to the side. But when you take the mud...
  20. XL RTT - Extend over cab or stick out the back?

    Of course! I actually just spent the last 2 days detailing everything installed on the truck, with some walk-throughs and with links to all the products. The load bars post is here, with links. Basically, FrontRunner Outfitters SlimLine II racks come as separately purchasable pieces. There are...
