Thanks! It's definitely acting like an adventure mobile every time, too. Every time it gets easier to get out and explore, the better!

Thanks guys! In regards to the rack, FrontRunner was a close second. I ended up with the RhinoRack because I wanted to simplify the process to pop the hardtop off.

If I get rid of my gobi and do another rack it will be the rhino rack system. But I think if I get rid of mine I'll end up going with a j30 ursa minor top. Regardless Jeep looks great!

Thanks! The J30s look incredible, the worst thing is when my friends remind me that I could have that setup by now if I hadn't blown out my front end :coffee drink:
Anyone have a good recommendation for a slide for a Yeti cooler? I'm thinking that (post-wedding), I'd like to build a wooden floor and have a slide for the cooler. Eventually add drawers/storage on the other side, but start with a slide. I've heard that server rack slides work well?

Finalizing my prep for Vermont Overland Rally this weekend! Can't wait to get up there. Not much has changed with the Jeep in the last month or two (besides putting the awning back on), but my dad picked up an awesome Xventure XV-3, so we'll be pulling that up to Vermont with us. I'll be snagging some pictures of that setup soon, it's incredible.
Jeep is 90% ready for our departure on Thursday:

We had an awesome time at VOR this year, best weather you can ask for and great people to hang with. Got to test out the new Xventure XV-3 trailer, and it was absolutely awesome.
Per usual, the trails were incredible. Some awesome views along the way and plenty of chances to get a bit flexy!
Unfortunately, days before VOR I had to do a last second install on a winch in my new number, and the winch was dead-on-install. The quadratec winch was great for what it was, but now saving up for a Warn (and going synthetic). It's been about 3 weeks since VOR and I'm still unpacking, so I think I'll be focusing on some garage storage solutions in the short term while I save for the winch.

Man if Vermont was only closer to Texas! Sucks to hear about the quadratec winch, have you called them up about it? Maybe they can get it fixed? Although a Warn winch with synthetic would be sweet.

Yeah man, Vermont is simply awesome! I can't wait to get back in the spring.
I haven't called yet, but I was looking forward to an upgrade anyway. I'll see if they can fix it up and maybe put it on a trailer to haul logs onto, or see if I can give it to a friend in need. If the qtec was synthetic, I'd consider fixing and keeping it, but I really want to make the move to synthetic anyway.

VT is absolutely incredible man, you should plan a trip up once you get that UrsaMinor! MSO has done a great job capturing it so far this season, I'm loving it.
Thanks! I think this time I'll just go big and hit up Warn for a winch. I've heard some good things too but also unfortunately some not so good.
Lucky you man, I'd love to be close enough to wheel up there some more!
