Lots of great replies. I’ll follow up on some of the products linked. Didn’t even think about fashioning a step that uses the rock rail. I may play with that idea over the weekend. Our pup is tall enough that with a single largish step, he might climb up fine.

Loading our 150# newf has become a chore. When he DOES get in on his own, it is painful to watch. When we help him up, it is literally painful on my back! There just isn't a lot of room on the floor behind the seat for him the clamber up, and the seat is too high for him to jump. The back door...

Mine recently rolled over 30K miles. It is a 2020 Rubi. Probably the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Need to wheel it a bit more. Best mods: Sunrider flip top and the roll-n-lok bed cover. Minor issues along the way. Need to tilt the driver's seat back a bit. Can get uncomfortable on long...

I guess money isn't an issue.... 4-door JK (wife's), Gladiator, 3/4 ton GMC, and a couple of CJ projects. Now that I think about it, that's where all the money went.

I went super low tech. Plastic cup in the rear floor cup-holder. Dump at each gas stop. When the cup gets gross, it gets replaced. Also keep a roll of poo bags for the dog handy. Works for larger "trash" items as well. Fill, tie off, and toss at next convenient trash can. Have a few 30 and...

That is a Viair of some sort. One of their 100% duty cycle versions. I watched deals a few places, and found this "previous year" kit on Amazon at a deep discount. Included a 5 gallon tank, but I gave up making it fit. Bought this 1/2 gallon, also from Amazon, pretty cheap. Used all of the hoses...

Amazon, I think. Can't remember the vendor. Would have to dig through my account. Price sounds right-ish. Aftermarket with shipping was about the same. For me to piece it together from unistrut and hardware store parts was still $200+. With all the other projects on my list, and needing to get...

Wow. More hate than I would expect here. If we get to shame the big overlanders, do we still get to shame anyone who lifts a Sport? Lots of nits to pick, guess I should post up negative comments more. </eyeroll> Jeeps are like Legos for adults. You can build pretty much anything you want. We...

I ended up adding factory rails. Looked at after market, but found factory for the same/better cost. Also looked at "rigging" something, but for the cost, it didn't seem to work out (for me). The weak link appears to be the mounting bolts. Anything that uses the factory nutserts will be the...

Even my daughter has commented that she can feel my Jeep running ('21 Rubi Gladiator) but mom's doesn't do that ('17 JKU). Still smoother than my diesel truck, so I haven't worried about it. I'll have to check on that recall. Gone are the days where bugs were only on the windshield, not in...

I built a skid/mount for my compressor and tank under the body. Drivers side, beside the muffler, between the exhaust and driveshaft. Mounts to the skid crossmember and then up to a open bolt hole in the frame. My setup only has a very small tank, as it also fits the compressor. With JUST the...

We got the JT specifically for road trips. Does reasonable on the highway, and can still explore the backwoods when we get there. Lots of 4-hour day trips. Longest is 12 from here to Maine. We have done several 6-8 hour trips. Limiting factor is wife and kiddo. I don't mind the drive one bit...

Personally, I mostly leave TC on. Let the computer figure it out. The JT seems better than most at staying predictable. I HATE unpredictable nannies. My wife's old Saturn AWD was the worst. One minute they would override everything you were trying to do, the next they would shut off completely...

As above, I'd start by checking the ground (#1 in the image). Check continuity between the plug #1 on the JT and a known good ground on the JT (like the frame). Also check the same on the trailer (the mirror-image for #1) and a known good ground on the trailer (maybe its frame). I'd lay odds...

Looks like accessory switches 1 and 2 have a 40 amp fuse. 3 and 4 are 15 amp. You could always run a separate relay and fuse for the lights, controlled by the accessory switch. If I am reading the fuse box diagram correctly, all exterior lights share a 40 amp fuse. However, as posted above...

Just need a step, but only sometimes? https://aspenadrenaline.com/products/adrenaline-stirrup-step-as0001

I have some cheapie screw-on deflators I got as a door prize years go. Work fine. The Gladiator has OBA. Made a bracket that mounts an electric compressor and small air tank under the body, ahead of the muffler. Activated by one of the dash switches and a pressure switch. Inlet is tucked up...

I've run across several threads on here describing noise from shocks. I also get a bit of noise from my spare tire when it starts to work loose.

Goes to the point: what makes a Jeep a jeep? A lot of folks cringed at the 4-door. Same with square headlights, back in the day. For me, it is the body-on-frame, solid axles, t-case with a lever (not AWD), removable top and doors, and ROUND headlights (gotta draw the line somewhere). I...

The 4-door Wrangler REALLY opened the Jeep market to families. I've had some sort of Jeep for years, but my wife would never have entertained one of her own. Until the JKU. It is her favorite vehicle by far. Room for the whole family, the dog, and groceries (literally). AND it is a real 4x4. Not...
