Hmmm, then mine must not be 200 lbs. Never lifted it myself but thought that was the weight. Steel wouldnt be that bad then.

Sweet, another M101 here in the yukon. My advice now owning a modified one for 2+ years. I wouldnt do spring over, I put custom fenders on mine that covered 33's and it works well. I think the spring over will cause too high of a COG and may be an issue on off camber. My lid opens to the...

Picture of the wife who holds the coin purse? That will helps us :costumed-smiley-007

Carry fuel. I have gone to towns in the Yukon where I knew there was a gas station and they were out or closed. Heck, I have had this happen in BC. I did close to 5,000 km though AK from the Yukon this summer and I was required to put gas in 3 times and one time I came very close to getting...

When you lift the Jeep you are decreasing fuel mileage, add tires to that and it will drop again. I know guys running 35's and 37's on stock gears in a JKU. The 35's they say there is a slight change in mileage and gearing but nothing to extreme, and the 37's say that they have lost the top end...

I have OME in my 03 Rubi for about 4 years now, rides great and never had an issue. Offroad it is like a cadillac! Worth the money and if I had your choice, OME all the way!

I'm in Mendenhall, work in Whitehorse. Septu, were you parked at the library yesterday (wednesday) on the gravel lot to the south?

Good to see a fellow Yukoner. At least it is getting warm enough to work on the Jeeps outside!

For an update, no go on the aluminum lid. If you are stuck for a second set of wheels I have a set that I could let go.

Try the army surplus store in Kelowna, BC. That is where I bought mine and I know he said they usually come from Edmonton. Good luck.

It would be like Overlands and my trailer is almost identical (well they were both built by the same guy). Overland did not do the work but rather put the money into the R&D for the cad work to figure out the lid, fender and front box design. I will shoot a e-mail to see if there are any lids...

JD, hope that you will do a write up when you install yours. Could of used a duel set up yesterday when I went to start the Jeep and the battery was dead. It was sitting in -30 - 40 degrees for a few weeks though without getting moved.

If your lookin, all the work on my trailer was done buy a guy in salmon arm. My lid is identical to rubifan's but I have cross beams that the RTT sits on. I think (big think) that he had extra tops pressed and welded, i know he had extra fenders done. If you want I can drop him a line if you are...

Kurt, can that be done in a TJ? I have a 03 Rubi with AC, so the piping for the AC appears to get in the way. I have been looking at this for a while. And it seems to be possible, without the AC piping. Sorry to ask in your thread Carolyn.

I know some great trails Rubi Fan. As well, I live about 80 km's from the beginning of the Canol Highway.
