I'm way behind on posting things here thanks to quarantine, but I'm going to try and catch up this week.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This ain't done yet! (Will it ever be?)
I'll edit this first post as things change, but still to be done hopefully before the end of the year:
Upgrade the load bars to a...
We just finished our first trip with everything set up.
Power
I built my own power station in the bed of the truck using 18mm Baltic Birch plywood, next to the fridge. Its job is to power everything Overlanding-related, the fridge, tent lights, rechargeable AA/AAA battery charging, USB lantern...
I'm trying to put a long awning on my JT, but it needs supports near the rear of the bed AND over the cab. (They supports have to be 6' apart at a bare minimum, which I can't do with only supports from the bed of the truck.)
OPTION 1: The easiest bet would be a Frontrunner Slimline or Pioneer...
I'm planning to put a Skycamper 2.0 on my JT. That's a massive 7'2" long hardshell tent. The bed of a JT is only 5'. I currently have a JCR almost-full-height bed rack, but the top of it is roughly 2.75" below the highest point of a JT's hard top, so it's not really full height.
The tent is too...
This feels like a ridiculously stupid question to ask, and I'm shocked that it's this hard for me to figure out, but I've searched the users manual and the forum and every single page of every app I can find in my UConnect display, and so far I've got nothing....
Since the TPMS sensors are...
I just picked up my new Gladiator from Kent in Idaho, and he warned me that Hothead Headliners (while awesome and the best sound reduction out there) are having an adhesive problem. He's had multiple customers whose Headliners have fallen off, and the company has had to send stronger adhesive...
Lots of warranty options offered by my Jeep Dealer, not just the "7 additional years extended warranty" that often gets discussed here. I haven't seen these on the forum yet, so I thought I'd list the options here.
Jeep (non-dealer-specific) warranty options from my dealer (and their costs)...
I though dealers could re-calibrate the speedometer and TPMS system if you didn't want to buy an external device to do it yourself. But my dealer's parts guy wants to charge me $125 for an AEV Procal Module AND for $100 worth of labor to spend the 5 minutes to open the box and then use it to...
The spare is a steel wheel that doesn't match. My dealer has lots of Rubicon wheel take-offs that people have left after getting after-market wheels. I was debating replacing my spare with one (plus a new TPMS sensor for it) so I can rotate all 5 tires. I'm fairly sure that Wildpeak A/T3W (I'm...
I'm prepping my Rubicon Gobi order and realizing that it's better to have the dealer upgrade my tires right off the bat than to have to deal with the annoyance of selling old, lightly used 33" tires. But I could really use a tire recommendation, as I really don't know what to look for...
