    Egan's M101A3 Build

    Thanks. I'm leaning towards purchasing one of these mostly due to time constraints in the coming year and the need for lockable storage. Sometimes I forget I have a welder, I could probably just fab up a mounting point that would more closely resemble a bed rail. Will let you know what I come...

    Maxtrax group buy?

    Matt, Totally understand that, but a lot of these group buys start the same way as a suggestion from the masses. I'm not angry like some of the others, just offering up a suggestion for the future should there ever be another. Am I bummed I missed out? Of course, but I'll end up buying a...

    Egan's M101A3 Build

    Question for you: So would a piece of C-channel with the opening at the bottom best mimic a pickup truck rail?

    Maxtrax group buy?

    Geez, talk about whining.... Not sure if you are referring to my post, but the lack of notice of the group buy after a 6 month thread was handled poorly compared to other group buys on this forum. Am I mad at the vendor and will never purchase another Maxtrax product?? No, of course not, just...

    Box Rocket Homemade trailer build.

    Nice work. How did you attach the skin to the frame?

    Who has used wood to skin there expedition trailer and floor also?

    How do you get such nice looking corners? I've got to build a lid for my M101A1, just trying to weigh all the options in terms of materials.

    Realistic Amount of Miles You Can Expect From an Unlimited

    Tried that as well. You are lucky, you got one of the good ones. I wish the article I linked above had come out sooner, at least I would have known the exact areas to check. However, at the end of the day, I have zero regrets as the I love my 2013 across the board especially now that I am...

    Realistic Amount of Miles You Can Expect From an Unlimited

    Some good reading on the 3.8L motor. http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/engine/1508-3-8l-jeep-wrangler-jk-engine-problems/ I had one in my 2010 which was meticulously cared for and maintained and started burning oil with only 30-ishK on the odometer. The manual says 1 quart of oil per 1000...

    Maxtrax group buy?

    Well that sucks! No notice or anything? Sorry, while I appreciate the offer of the group buy I have to say this was handled poorly compared to others.

    Run Report. Baja down to Conception Bay. Day 1

    Nice report! I think it's the first Baja one I've seen with expo trailers in tow. Having a trailer myself I was wondering how it is towing around Baja? Have a great time!

    LED Lighting options for Awning and RTT

    I know it's an old thread but something I discovered about this particular dimmable switch is that if that power is cut to the switch, when power is restored, the lights automatically come on. This of course is no good in a folded RTT scenario. I found a mechanical switch on Amazon that I am...

    Blue Sea 7611 or 7622?

    I have the 7622. The remote switch is great, the mechanical yellow switch is redundant but I like it for when I take the Jeep in for service, so I can completely lock out the aux battery and the accessories tied to it. I did self-jump from the driver's seat the other day via the remote switch...

    Looking for progressive rate springs for a JKU

    The AEV lifts are designed with the additional weight you describe in mind. I have the AEV 2.5" lift, front and rear ARB bumpers and a winch and at times a Gobi rack. Some will say the AEV ride is stiff, but I think it rides better than factory, and handles WAY better. I live in Los Angeles...

    How hard is it to remove a Gobi roof rack?

    Yeah that new Lange setup is pretty cool, I saw that as well. It some ways it would be easier I think then the garage hoist, as I have to move a bunch of stuff every time I want to use it. Sounds like you have a good plan.

    How hard is it to remove a Gobi roof rack?

    I bought an $80 harbor freight electric hoist and use that to remove my gobi and the hardtop. Makes it pretty easy. I don't leave mine on either, the noise isn't so much the issue but you do lose about 1 mpg at freeway speeds with the rack on. I can do whole thing in about 30mins, but I have...
