The most overloaded JT I have come across

[Cape taco12]

Anyone know what the side steps are? Aux fuel tanks, torpedos?

All jokes aside, it is a little disheartening to see how weak the JT frame is. The frame of a truck should never be the weak link.

Double edge sword make the frame too strong and crash ratings suffer. I think there are more safety karens out there than people that get upset when their frame bends after they overload the vehicle...? Maybe not?

At what point does the bumpstop break?

I would say about 500lbs before they hit the road, lol

Looks like a solar shower setup.

Overlanding types will take long tubes like that, fill them up with water and pressurize them. The sun heats the water inside the pipe at which point you can connect a hose with a shower head to one end and use it to clean off at a campsite.

Everybody knows Mad Max, this is his older brother Ridiculous Rick. On a serious note though, zombie proof windows for the WIN.

I gotta say, I'm impressed with all that crap strapped on there he can still remove the freedom panels

Is it me or is that bed bending downwards like the JT with a bent frame from an overloaded trailer off road did?

Wow trailer that stuff!

The added weight of the kitchen sink did it.......

Doesn’t look bent to me, I think the spacing of the cap makes it look that way as the gap is larger than the bed.

Speaking of fuel, did they move the fuel door? Or is it just the image quality that makes the usual spot look like the fuel door is missing and moved to the back?

Nah, those are pool noodles. Weight savings bro!

Aren't there hard rubber insulators between the bed and the frame? Those are likely shredded from excess weight which would explain the bed sagging at the rear. So, it might not be a bent frame.

probably never, it's rubber.
