Anyone building (planning) to build a Jeep Wayout?

Sorry I've been away from the forum, but I need to get back. I've done a lot of work on my JT since the quarantine, and I guess I'm ready to unveil my take on the Wayout.

Suspension:

• Rock Krawler: 3" springs, rear X-Pro quad 4-link
• Core 4x4: front upper and lower control arms, and rear lowers
• King: 2.5" reservoir shocks
• TeraFlex: front control arm drop brackets with HD reinforcement
• SteerSmarts: front track bar

Wheels/tires:

• 17" Procomp 69 series wheels
• 37" Yokohama Geolandar M/Ts
• Evo braided steel brake lines

Armor/recovdery:

• RockHard 4x4: aluminum mid-width front bumper, tube sliders/rock rails angle-up, front and rear LCA skid plates
• Rancho: front diff skid
• Warn Zeon 12-S Platinum winch
• Factor55 1.5" fairlead and Flatlink E

Steering:

• SteerSmarts: HD tie rod and draglink with damper
• TeraFlex Falcon EF 2.2 adjustable steering stabilizer
• Synergy Trackbar bracket and sector shaft brace

Electrical:

• Genesis dual battery kit with Odyssey batteries
• VIAIR 425c onboard air kit with Maximus 3 underbody mounting plate
• Baja Designs: S8 10" light bar, S8 40" light bar, Squadron Sport fog light kit
• Rigid D-SS Pro side shooter spot lights on A-pillar

Cargo/Camping:

• Diamondback SE tonneau cover
• KB Voodoo MaxModular 10" high aluminum bed rack with tonneau brackets
• JCR Offroad: JTR roof rack, front and side molle panels in bed
• CVT: Mt. Shasta rooftop tent and 55" awning

Comms:

• Yaesu FTM-400XDR UHF/VHF radio w/Diamond hood mount antenna
• Baofeng handheld UHF/VHF radio for spotter/auxiliary use
• Garmin InReach Explorer+ with powered docking station

Cosmetic:

• Custom matte black vinyl hood anti-glare hood patch and front fender patches
• Custom tailgate vinyl with retro J10 Jeep logo
• O.G. Gladiator decal from Ebay

It's never done of course, but it's pretty darn close. If/when AEV ever starts selling their JL/JT snorkel I'll probably pick one up. Potentially extend the axle breathers to the air box.

Been on two camping trips so far and I'm loving all the cargo I can store in the bed, cook on the tailgate. We've been bringing our JL along too so that carries the Dometic fridge but I could put it in the back seat of the JT.

Looks really good, where did you get your tailgate work from? Thanks

Thanks man. Sign Pro in Tuscaloosa, AL. Got a tip from a guy in another group who had it done the same way.

What’s your thoughts on the VIAIR? I have been trying to decide between that and the ARB with a tank.

Never tried the ARB compressor but this is my 2nd VIAIR system. I have the Xtreme duty system on my JL. It's been solid for me so far. I went with the 425c on the JT since I'm running 37s and it has the highest flow rate for filling tires. With my husband & I airing up at the same time, one of us can fill all 4x 37s on the JT with the 425c pumps in the time it takes the other to fill 3x 35s on the JL with the Xtreme duty. I like having a tank because I can pre-fill it when I stop to air down and it's that much faster to air up with the tank already pressurized.

I havent looked at the new viair offerings but a couple years ago the ARB twin was 20-30% faster airing up than the dual compressor viair systems so I went ARB twin on my LJ. I imagine the new dual 425c kit is closer in speed (more similar CFM at tire pressures). I like the ARB twin for packaging where all you need to do is hook it up to power and connect a hose and go. The pressure switch is built into the compressor.

The Jeep Wayout Concept shown at the Easter Safari in Moab has a lot of great features. I like many of them and see this concept as one of the best ways to use a Gladiator off road.

Anyone building or planning to build something similar to the Jeep Wayout Concept?

Is this an actual rack that you can buy or still a concept ? Thanks !
