Never thought I would ever add a carpet to a truck, but I added a Bedrug this week: Since you can pressure wash them it finally convinced me. Wish I had done this last fall, but found a spring deal. Really changes the feel of the back, very comfy, I nearly took a nap in the bed after finishing...

That Harker looks sweet, I'm usually more of fan of a veritcal pop-ups but that rear extension on the tailgate is clever!

Yeah, I loaded mine too, definitely appreciate it and probably the biggest advantage, the shear number of customization Jay & Maggie offer or are willing to do on request. I'd totally go with them again if we didn't sell our house for a Rossmonster or Supertramp+Bowens setup 😅 and probably even...

Project M is a truck cap camper, similar to our OVRLNDs. Basically uses FWC's pop-top from their slide-ins. OP, I'd cross shop OVRLND and Topo as well if you haven't already, they are also vertical pop-ups and have more customization options (esp OVRLND) if you care about that. I certainly like...

Ursa Minor is still flirting with a Gladiator offering, although it took them a long time to do the Bronco so who knows if this is just vaporware. On their JL page:

I've really appreciated my JCR bumpers and tire carrier on my 05 LJ, after 7ish years my tire carrier is squeak free and have held up to countless recoveries. Very well built. Part of the squeak free is the pivot (which is identical to the above) is easy to service and grease. Not saying it's...

Ha, that was the car I took my driving exam in. I learned to drive in our 70/80s ranch pickups but took the test in my sister's tiny LeMans. Personally, I probably would be dead if my parents let me get the Bronco II or other high CoG 4x4s I wanted as a teenager the way I drove + Montana...

Not too mention if you have more than one bike on a rack the tail lights are mostly blocked (esp on our narrow Jeeps). Cops don't seem to care in MT, but I run these cargo carrier lights on my rack that plug in for turns and brakes. That'd be a sad day if my bikes AND my JT got trashed from a...

Oh man, I would love to see the bike rack + swing out when it's done. I've been thinking the same thing, at least if I could carry fuel (gas+propane) on the swing out with my bikes. I tried a Kuat swing arm from the hitch but my current rack extends out far enough that both together created a...

This guy does some excellent tire reviews with nitty gritty details into tire designs, more importantly highlighting how those details affect your intended use: BFG KO2, Falken Wildpeak, Yokohama Geolander Differences Goodyear, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss, Toyo, General Grabber Falken WildPeak...

I wonder if that's why STT Maxxes went crazy on the pricing. I love that tire, but they used to be similar in price to a KO2 if not a touch cheaper, now they're crazy more expensive. I've ran 4 sets, but no more.

Trippiest thing (even as a BC skier) I saw were ski paragliders skiing around that top bowl in Beartooth pass and skipping over the highway from bank to bank. Most of us just do a mundane shuttling up the pass to ski down when/if it opens up late spring.

Ok, we finally got a little bit of snow in MT, not enough to push the Grabbers, but the mud underneath the snow gives more bang for the fun buck and qualifies the Mud+Snow rating ;)

Our snow hasn't really shown up yet, but the cold arrived in Montana with a night time temp in Bozeman at -40F (that's not windchill 🥶). JT started like a champ in -25F in West Yellowstone last weekend!

Good luck with that, just takes a year of slacking and the population will be back... and smarter 🦝

The current discounts on new JTs and the market correction/depreciation on used just makes me want to pick up a second one.

Quite possibly under, he came out lightening the dry weight load with the composite cabin vs all the chopped off metal tub and rear seats. The build videos on the composite cabin and chopping details are interesting.

That would probably help, and not connecting a profile between mobile/web Jeep apps + a VIN. If your vehicle can update the infotainment system on it's own then it can share data via it's own cellular. With Jeep at least opting out of Connect limited what they collect via their ToS. Which is why...

Again, I already linked to the specific research for Jeep in my first post. It's not disingenuous to expect minimal literacy, RTFM. Jeep/FCA specifically for all UConnect services, apps, and vehicles: There's a whole section at the bottom with the Jeep language specifically as well. That...

Cars are found to be the single worse product for data privacy with a lack of security, including smartphones. That's the point of the above research by Mozilla I linked above. Car brands' are more top hat, cape and mustachio than tinfoil hat, with some three stooges mixed in. Stellantis...
