    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    i never even got to field test it, only in a light drizzle in the driveway once! i think it would have been ok in light winds only.

    rock lights / approach lighting on JKU

    not a necessary mod by any stretch, but rock-lights are something i enjoy having. i decided to forgo the kits and DIY using commonly available "COB LED DRL strips". the light came out very nice and evenly spread. the cost was similar to some of the mid-level kits, but with the wiring done to...

    Air Compressor Location

    under the passenger seat is common for JK's, not sure if it would fit on a TJ though with the fold-n-tumble seat mechanism. also saw this (not mine):

    Tablet GPS - which one do you use? Looking for advice

    before removing a card, are you going into settings > storage and clicking on the "unmount sdcard" or "eject sdcard" (or whatever it's called on your particular version of Android)? then after a second or 2 it will tell you when it's ok to remove the card... same when you put a new one in (give...

    JK Unlimited Rear Organization (cargo/storage/bed setup)

    cuts super easy and clean with a router (clean edge that is - it makes a mess of little shavings everywhere!). even my Ryobi 18v "edge trimmer" worked well on 1/2" thick material. a jigsaw, circular saw or drill all work just fine too. low to medium speed is needed - too fast with the drill and...

    JK Unlimited Rear Organization (cargo/storage/bed setup)

    the Starlite is holding up fine. it does scratch easily, but the marks mostly just blend in to me. mine is actually black; the textured finish is matte and so i guess that's why maybe it looked dark gray in some photos? i purchased all my larger cut-to-size Starlite & Starboard from here...

    JK Unlimited Rear Organization (cargo/storage/bed setup)

    thanks! i used 1/2" for the floor, but if i were to do it again, i'd use 3/4" - the Starlite (or Starboard) isn't very rigid. other than it looking a small bit wavy because of that lack of stiffness, it's holding up perfect. EDIT - to be clear, that hasn't gotten any worse (even during the...

    JK Unlimited Rear Organization (cargo/storage/bed setup)

    figured i'd share my attempt at organizing the rear of my new JKU. below are the items that get left in pretty much all the time. everything else varies widely depending on length of trip, how many people are coming, weather, remoteness, etc. i usually go solo, but sometimes the GF and kid do...
