Yeah - bike pump wouldn't be fun. You'd work up a sweat while trying to take a shower and clean up! I know there are 90-cubic inch carbon fiber air tanks that can take up to 5,000psi. Someone better at math than me could figure out how many fills you'd get in a bumper tank at 15psi. I would...

Love this thread! Reminds me of the several weeks I spent obsessed with building a pressurized water solution a couple summers back. One question that just came to me after reading this: would it be possible to use one of those small compressed air tanks that refill paintball guns and air...

I will say that the AEV bumpers are a great product. First of all, they look great with the OEM plastic fenders, as they are designed to do. Second, they are bombproof. I’ve smashed mine with rocks and trees, and they provide significant protection. Third, they are easy to clean up with a rattle...

Interesting - I never thought about the fact that flexibility and off-camber capability were handicaps for payload capacity. But it makes sense. I've certainly learned the hard way that off-roading and overlanding don't mix too well. Once I decided that exploring was more fun than...

Yeah, it's stupid money for the ability to weigh a vehicle. But I've decided a lot of this hobby is stupid money, and I really am curious about the "weight factor" that affects just about everything. There is a local shop near me that does off-road and overland builds that has asked me about...

Latest weight checks: Jeep is empty of people and cargo, with a full tank of gas. Trailer is loaded with 30 gallons of water and all cargo for a trek, excluding food and a few duffle bags of clothes (kids always pack at the last minute). Overall, I'm happy. Nice to have a bit of cushion on...

All great advice and details here! Apologies if I've already mentioned in this thread (there are several suspension/weight threads circulating), but I'm convinced the Hellwig rear anti-sway bar should come standard with any roof-top tent purchase! Easy install, and make a huge difference over...

Jeff: I saw these photos in the latest SEMA magazine and was thinking you might be able to incorporate a flip-down stove into some of your window designs:

Yep. After three weeks of experimenting, that was my conclusion. I think it would work well with forced air, but I didn't want to cut into my new wood stove to create the air intake. The thermostat fan I use with my BBQ smoker would have been perfect. I did get the anthracite to light, and it...

I've lost track whether I already posted about this experiment earlier in this thread. Spent weeks trying to figure out how to burn anthracite coal in my tipi tent wood stove . . . AND used a catalytic heater with a mounted 12v circulation fan as backup!

Here's one of my favorite photos from a cold-weather camping trip with my kids:

I was actually thinking I need to get impact guards for my fog lights :).

I like it - but maybe work an American flag into it somewhere? You've done that with some of your designs and it really fits well with the Jeep theme. I often think of my Jeep treks as "American safaris" because the Jeep is capable of taking me on some amazing adventures that don't require an...

I'd take one! As long as everything comes fully-installed. ;) But Jeff, you need to pick an animal to go with the JSCHERB badge and logo. AEV has the bison, so what animal would a JSCHERB be?

Like THIS? ;)

Thanks! Some good photos (and plenty of discussion and debate) here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/255-80-17-km2s-2dr-jk-wrangler-233667/

Great pics! Judging by the first one, it would be great to have you join the discussion on this thread too: Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent I'm considering removing my Metalcloak steel Undercloak system and replacing it with aluminum skid plating instead. And switching both my Jeep...

Got it. Thanks. I was thinking there might be a way to have a removable tool organizer in your hardtop window-cargo system that easily swaps to the molle panel when it is time to put the soft top on for summer. But most people running factory soft-tops don't switch back-and-forth to hardtops...

Hey Jeff, I was wondering about something today. Would the drop-down overhead molle panel you designed work with a soft top installed? Even if it was a fast-back style top?

4.10 - that’s how the Rubicon comes geared. I think the AEV suspension and hi-steer kit help a LOT too. Weakest link is the brakes, I think. So I definitely maintain safe stopping distances. I know I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but I also have been VERY impressed with the Helwig rear...
