Finally got everything squared away with the front end. Started working on the Skid Plate but found out I had the wrong backets and hardware kit so they are overnighting me the correct ones so I switched gears and got the CVT tent installed. Actually wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be to get it on top of the rack. The list is getting shorting to get ready for the Rubicon Trail.

Heading out there July 3rd and planning on hitting the trail July 5th or 6th. Meeting up with some buddies that are all coming from different states so just depends when we all get there.

Damn you @MaximusTX, now I don't know who's Gladiator to swipe, yours or @TheSolarWizard.
Both are 2 of the nicest.
Maybe yours since you already have a tent on it is in the lead.
Hahahahaha!!!

Both are really fine examples.

Thanks, appreciate it. I believe @TheSolarWizard has the newer generation suspension on his and I have the older version. My plan is to build a rocklander that I can take anywhere and camp. I've thought about bobbing the bed but can't find a bed rack that I like that works for what I want. I might still do it and modify my current bed rack or I might go with this setup from Rebel Off-Road but for now I will continue to just build this up and see what I actually need and go from there.

I vote @MaximusTX because mine’s already been stolen before

I remember your post, that's partly why I posted the above comment.
I still can't believe someone would be so brazen. I mean your Jeep stands out like a sore thumb. I mean that in a good way.

Been working on getting the WolfBox TriPro installed on my lunch breaks but its been pretty hot so I am only getting a little done at a time. After two days I got all the wires ran and verify everything is working. Just need to button up the wiring and mount the cameras.

 

[TheSolarWizard]

How many cameras can that have and can it record? The resolution looks good and I see you have adaptive cruise too so that answers the next Q

Edit I should have guess by the name it was 3x I wonder if theres an easy way I could use the rear cam on the hard top for travel but move it underneath to see the rear tires & driveshaft in the rocks. That would really change my wheeling life

This is the 3 camera version with the Dash cam, front and rear cameras. The dash cam is 4k and the other two are 2.5K. I believe it records all 3 cameras but it does loop recording so it just continuously overwrites itself. I think you can adjust that setting but I will dig a little more into it once I get it fully installed and setup. I do have the Adaptive Cruise Control and I got the OEM Bracket to give it a cleaner look as I didn't want to just go over the existing mirror. I should have it fully installed in the couple days. Here is the one I got with the accessories I got with it:

WOLFBOX G900 TriPro Bumper Version 3 Channel Rearview Mirror Camera

WOLFBOX OEM Bracket for Smart Mirror Bracket Model 179

WOLFBOX Dashcam Multifunctional Hardwire Kit (OBD II Kit)

OBDII Splitter Y Cable

Finally got the Wolfbox fully installed. Going to see how I like the rear camera mounted on the bed rack. Might change it and mount it on the license plate later. Next up is the CVT awning, Metal Cloak Skid plate, sector shaft brace and Front track bar reinforcement.

 

[MaximusTX]

Finally got the @Metalcloak full skid plate installed. I don't know what it was but this thing fought us the entire time. It took a total of about 7-8 hours to get it fully installed. With the Long Arm kit we had to modify some of the plates which took time, the Recon DSS brackets blocked easy access to get to the front mounting bolts and they were Loctited in with red Loctite and those took over an hour to get out using a socket that you could only turn 1 to 2 clicks at a time. It's finally in and now I am just down to the sector shaft brace, front track bar brace and awning and then a few minor things.

 

[MaximusTX]

Got the Front track bar brace installed. The @Metalcloak brace worked perfectly for me since I have the @RebelOffRoad Complete Front DSS installed it was using one of the bolts and most of the braces needed all 4 bolts but this one didn't so I didn't have to modify anything to install it. After we got that installed we realized we would have to remove the track bar to install the sector shaft brace and decided we would save that for another day. Got the Awning installed, tpms sensor installed in the spare and got it mounted, installed the visor braces. Nothing wrong with my visors yet but since it seemed to be a known issue and I had the visors down for the WolfBox install I went ahead and installed them as a preventative measure and then added a hitch slider.

That thing is looking really nice! by chance is that the RENO slider? looks awfully similar to the one I have as well.
