I've installed an AEV snorkel on my 08 JKUR, 16 JKUR, and now on the 20 JTR. It was a bit nerve racking the first one, but as long as you measure twice, prep correctly, have/buy the right bits/hole saws, and take your time, it's not too difficult. The aluminum hood on the JT makes it much...

The boys and I (mostly all Jeepers--and one Taco driver) making a weak attempt at a modern recreation on that SAS photo in NW Niger 2018...

I thought about pulling the bracket and going under with a similar cut...I still may eventually. I'll see how these washers and longer bolts hold up--good to know going under the sway bracket also works.

Had a Clayton 1.5” Overland+ done this past week. I went with the MetalCloak rear sway bar brackets as an upgrade over the weak stock mounting point on the chassis. Long/short, the RockBlokz rear mud flap mount does not work together with the sway bar brackets without some modification. I...

Vision X makes a good kit to replace the rear reflectors also. Very stock looking with the factory LEDs.

Zero issues clearing the sunrider fully open. I did end up removing the lightbar—it was a hold over from my old JK and didn’t need it with the bumper lights—plus, I didn’t want to run the wiring up to the roof. I don’t get any noticeable wind noise from the rack over the rear of the hardtop...

Dirt Road Cred just did a YT video with Distinction Applied that shows Sarge, Gobi, and Gator compared to ‘41. Gator is definitely a close match, though 41 has a slightly greener hue.

Been looking at these hinge steps hard to make the roof rack more accessible. Once I eventually add that 2.5" gamechanger, I'll definitely need the boost.

I could swear I've seen multiple posts that the dynamic load limit on the rain gutter itself was only 88lbs...

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/export-tail-lights-on-na-spec-gladiator.31651/ This is a helpful thread on conversion to the euro-spec rear taillights with amber turns. I've previously converted a JK while in Europe for a bit. One helpful thing I found was to tap the front...

I installed the rhino-rack backbone and a pioneer platform on my rig today. This is the 36"x56" platform on the backbone with the RCL legs--this configuration works with the Bestop sunrider! Overall, fairly simple install...just tedious--and triple checking everything before drilling. I still...

You should look at Magnetic Mic also...they make a great handset adapter to add to any mount. It will hold up while offroading as well.

When I traded my '16 JKUR for my '20 JT and my wife's '16 JKUS for a '20 JLUR the steering was loose in both and they wandered--especially at highway speed. It was worse stock than any of my previous jeeps (83 CJ, 08 JKUR, 13 JK, 14 JKS, 15 JKW, 16 JKUR, 16 JKUS -- I have a Jeep...

It's the same lightbar I've run on two previous jeeps...I haven't had any issues with the wind noise or humming. Plus, it will be mounted aft of the b-pillar...I'll likely get as much wind noise from the rack. I was actually just looking at a West Marine catalogue. Some possible options...

The updated steering gear makes a noticeable difference, but there will always be a degree of bump steer on a solid front axle vehicle.

I've thought about that, but would require adding either some adhesive wire channel down the back of the cab exterior. The rack doesn't go far enough forward to run down the A-pillar. I've got to drill the top to mount the backbone platform regardless, an additional pass-thru isn't going to...

Lightbar mounts may be your best bet...and you could always paint them to match to keep it lower profile (and added A-pillar protection). It wouldn't be cable risers, but I have used paracord tied off on the hood latches, run under the top header, and tied off to the latches before as an...

Hey all, I'm looking for some good recommendations for waterproof pass thru. I'm planning on mounting a Rhino-Rack on the truck and then installing my lightbar, area lights, and chase bar. Looking for any recommendations on the best way to drill/waterproof the wiring into the cab. TIA!

You get what you pay for. Rigid isn't cheap, but they back their products. I've run a wide range of their products since ~2010, I've never had any issues. You can definitely tell the quality difference when side by side and on with other brands (though ones like Baja and Diode Dynamics, I'd...
