Hi all, I'm about to put together a water system - pump, filter, water heater, hot and cold taps, shower, etc. and I'm wondering what people are using for hoses and connectors?. In the past I just used some braided 1/2 hose, hose clamps and brass 90 and T joiners. It all worked OK, but it's...

HI everyone, I'm designing a custom pop-top, and I want to use gas struts kind of like the following: I want the struts to be really long so I have tons of angle on them when the roof is "up" So far I've only found struts to a max of 44" when fully extended. Does anyone know where I can buy...

Hi All, I cut the rear third or so off my 2021 Wrangler Rubicon, and have the whole rear for sale. They all have 40k miles on them, but are virtually new to look at. All can be picked up near the Tehachapi, CA area. If you've got or know of a JL Wrangler with body damage this would be a *very*...

Hi All, I cut the rear half off my 2021 Wrangler Rubicon, and have the following parts for sale. They all have 40k miles on them, but are virtually new to look at. All can be picked up near the Tehachapi, CA area, or I may be able to bring it to Overland Expo PWN in Redmond, OR on July 7th...

Hi All, I've been trying to find estimated production numbers for the Grenadier - does anyone have any confirmed numbers of how many they're aiming to build each year? I think it will be a great platform, but if they're only going to build 5k a year I don't see the aftermarket going out out of...

SOLD Hi Everyone, Take advantage of the strong US dollar and explore Australia in this vehicle that is 100% to go. Including bedding, knives and forks - EVERYTHING. Bring a clothes bag and drive via the supermarket and you're ready to explore Australia. I can pick you up from Melbourne...

Hey Everyone, As some of you know I spent a couple of years driving a little 2 door Jeep Wrangler 40,000 miles on the Pan-American Highway (I had a thread on Expo about it... I can't find it right now) Then I drove a 4 door Wrangler 54,000 miles all the way around Africa over three years (Expo...

Hi All, I'm looking at getting hte Rhino-Rack Backbone and a pioneer platform. My understanding is that to mount that, I will need cross bars. Can someone that has this on a JL or JT please throw a tape measure on theirs and tell me how much it increased the height of the vehicle from the top...

Hey Everyone, It's been another long time in the making, and it's time to kick-off my next major expedition. I'm setting out to explore all the wild and remote corners of Australia over the next 18 months, in a Gladiator Rubicon I just picked up! (My route will have to be flexible because of...

Hi All, In my latest video I run through the top five "best" or "favourite" modifications that I made to the jeep I drove right around Africa. There's no doubt the setup has been battle proven, and I hope you can learn from what worked well for me. In the video I don't only talk about "what"...

Well, sorta. The new plug-in Hybrid 4xe Wrangler weighs 500lbs more than the regular 3.6 Wrangler (most of that is the battery which is under the back seat) BUT it has exactly the same payload and towing capacity (1,280lbs and 3,500lbs) as the 3.6 Wrangler. So in effect the frame, axles and...

Hi All, I designed and built a simple and reliable solar setup that was flawless for three years and 54,000 miles around Africa. Here's a walk through of that system, and what you might want to consider for your system Number 1 priority - simple and it works! -Dan

Hi All, Back in the day I used only paper maps when I drove the Pan-American highway from Alaska to Argentina - I had no digital mapping of any kind, not even a phone. It worked, but it was far from perfect. Things have changed a lot since then, and for my around-Africa expedition and North...

Hi All, I'm selling my Canon 60D DSLR with 2 lenses and a TON of extras. I'm not interested in separating. This camera has been absolutely brilliant, I'm only upgrading because I want to print my shots and I need to go full-frame. Every photo in every article I've had in Overland Journal (4...

Hi All, I have brand new, un-opened Truck-lite / Rigid Industries heated LED replacement 7 inch headlights made specifically for the JK (07-18) Wrangler. These come with the required anti-flicker harness so they are plug and play, they take 5 minutes to install, and make a world of difference...

http://www.off-road.com/blog/2017/11/29/2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-revealed-a-modern-take-on-the-classic-off-roader/ Tons of new info and confirmations. A few things I found interesting: The 3.0 diesel is real, with 260 hp and 442 ft-lbs! Unfortunately, it only comes in the 4-door and only with...

Hi all, What size tire are you running on the Mopar steel winter wheels without wheel spacers? 10.5 has been great, which is around 265. I am wondering if 285/70/17 will fit without rubbing. Thanks! -Dan

Carrying Matrix on a JK Wrangler can be a challenge. We need them to be easily accessible and outside so they don't coat the interior in mud. Here's how I mounted mine onto my AEV Rear Tire Carrier using the AEV Hi-Lift / Pull Pall Mount. Essentially, they sit where the Pull Pall would...

Hi Everyone, My name is Dan Grec, I previously drove my Jeep Wrangler from Alaska to Argentina. I blogged the entire way on my blog The Road Chose Me, and I had a thread here on Expo. After that adventure I sold my little Jeep and have been living and working in Whitehorse, Yukon. I've been...

Overland vehicles require a way to carry drinking water, preferably a minimum of 10 gallons, or more. Ideally, for International Overland Travel, they will also have a reliable way to filter and treat water to ensure purity and removal of bacteria when only water of questionable quality is...
