They are supple enough that you don't really notice they are there. They are slightly taught after installation, but do seem to "bed in" after sitting in them for a while and get even more comfortable. The problem looking at them online is that nobody takes pictures of them after they've been...

FWIW, I'm still on the fence about putting in a locker. I've been on multiple trail runs that I had little difficulty with my open diff where the person in front of me in a locked Rubicon had a great deal of trouble in areas. I think driving style and vehicle loading/config plays a huge...

Are you just looking at leather or leatherette covers? I have the Trek Armor cordura covers and they really are worth the $$. They do have the tan/coyote color as well. https://www.trekarmor.com/searchresults.asp?cat=1815 Pics of of the coyote versions (I have the black/grey)

At the low end price wise, you could get the Body Armor cage. A decent midrange option would be the Rugged Ridge Sherpa Rack. I was set on going with the latter until I got a bigger bonus at work than expected and I decided to get another Gobi. For the price of the cheapest rack system (~$500)...

Removing carpets as a solution to a leak and/or dirt accumulation. In the warmer months: - Actually using the console and glove box locks. - Any sense of privacy (I'll never forget taking care of a particular itch and getting caught by the car next to me) - Driving for no particular reason and...

I have four of the older style ones with the full length "hinge" and latches on the remaining three sides. They get the job done, but lids do tend to sag with weight on top of them and the hinges come unclipped every third or fourth time. The latter is more annoying than anything else. Mine...

If the owner is too cheap to replace tires... What other basic maintenance items has he forgone? If the vibration from the tires is excessive it very well could have caused accelerated wear on the suspension and driveline. Think about what happens when driving on washboard all day long. IMHO...

Definitely sage advice from Hilldweller. I've gone with the "smart buy" too many times, and regretted it nearly every time. Vehicles are too expensive to spend your hard earned dollar playing Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It wasn't until after sinking or attempting to sink thousands of...

I ordered a Gobi, Or-fab tire carrier, Trek Armors, and a Off Road Heroes Cargo Top today! Now the toughest part, waiting for brown Santa to bring it home.

Have you looked into the Duratracs or Toyo AT/2's? I have the Duratracs in the same size as your M/Ts and they run close to 34.5". I don't recall the mounted width, but I'd be willing to check if you're interested.

I use the adjustable rubber straps with moveable s-hooks. They work great and give me quick way to secure my laptop bag, lunch bag, etc. on my way to work; I don't make any stops so sticky fingers aren't an issue. It would be great it someone made a removable, locking anti-theft wire net big...

I'd be wary of doing Yakima crossbars attached to hard top mounted rail. Help a buddy remove it and you'll see what I mean; it truly is just for weather protection. Keep in mind that the rack is dynamically loaded while vehicle is in motion and the fasteners holding those rails on are going to...

With regards to which roof racks are the quickest to remove I couldn't tell you from personal experience. I think why you want to remove it quickly is equally important. If you are wanting to be able to remove it for when the top is off, I'd go with the MBRP (permanently attached to hard top) or...

I've owned an FZJ80 and can tell you with a fairly high degree of confidence that a JKU cannot comfortably handle the same amount of cargo with 4 passengers without looking like the VW in the IKEA commercials. If you are thinking of adding another child into the mix... forget about it without a...

I've driven from Seattle to Tahoe on 35's and have no regrets whatsoever. The JKU doesn't have nearly the cargo space of a full size pickup, but you learn to make it work for you and/or buy a roof or over-tire rack. I've managed to get all of my wife and teenaged daughter's crap (enough to go...

I said goodbye to hood flutter!

http://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-jk-grille-inserts-overlays.html There are some alternative grills here. I wouldn't do it, but different strokes for different folks.

The Rugged Ridge goes inbetween the fender panel and the inner fixed structure. I don't see any reason why you'd have a problem with going dual battery with it. I can snap a pic or two if you are curious. It seems like you're more interested in the external/outboard mount though. To be honest...

I have the Rugged Ridge and I am pretty happy with it. The install can be a real PIA, but it looks decent and functions well in the end. In the event you decide to remove it a bracket is provided to reattach the cowl piece for a completely stock appearance. I would buy it again. I stupidly...

I would recommend a 2012+ Sport as well. The 3.6 is strong enough to do what you want without leaving you searching for more power. The interior update to the 2011+ models is a nice balance of Spartan and what you would expect in a normal SUV. If you plan on DD'ing and long road trips with...
