I was more impressed with their performance than with the JW Speaker (whichever version was new last year w/o a halo). To my eyes, they appeared to have a more forgiving and even light distribution instead of a few spots that are capable of torching an unsuspecting ant colony.

I used to go into 4HI whenever leaving the pavement without much thought to it. With an auto '12 JKU my behavior has certainly changed since it has a tendency to overheat in 4HI. Now I only engage it when necessary or when I anticipate wheelspin (steeper inclines, exposed tree roots, gravel).

If you get a chance when you update the video with the Evo2 you should try to include the Petersen and VisionX. When we did a local demo it was interesting to see the subtle differences between all of them, particularly the ones that shared similar design strategies (Trucklight v Petersen and...

I am astonished at all of the players entering the ultra-luxury SUV market. I had no idea that there were that many people seeking $100k+ SUVs... someone is going to lose out. If I am found myself in a position to purchase one of these I think I would be more inclined to pursue a more...

The issue with a larger 120v compressor is the starting amps and the extended duty cycle amps in addition to the losses from DC=>AC=>DC. Unless your compressor is rated for continuous duty or you're bringing a 30+ gallon air tank with you, you are going to see your amps rapidly climb as the...

Have you drained your snorkel in a while? One thing to keep in mind is that small pebbles can enter through the periscope and settle in the drain tube causing a blockage. It may seem disgusting, but if I don't get any water out from my drain I will blow into the tube to clear any blocking...

Buy some spare thumbscrews to keep in your stake bag. I've had a few of them go bad on me. I have the exact same tent and you will love and hate it. The latter is due to the sheer heft of it. I strongly recommend keeping the poles separate from the tent roll unless you turn green and double...

Wow... that escalated quickly. At least the OP came back to finish what he had started. :REOutShootinghunter

Out of curiosity I went to check his website out and the only Tiktaalik branded product there was... a bottle opener. In fairness, his Defender grills and such look like pretty nice parts and the bottle opener was born out of minimizing his scrap material...

You can run 37s with a 2.5" lift and flat fender flares (cut stockers or MCEs). If you are going with a 4.5" lift and 37s I would recommend moving the RTT to the trailer. I'm running a 2.5" lift, 35s, and Gobi and deploying and stowing the tent can be quite challenging at times being only...

I think protective coatings are a lose-lose situation for any company. A nice thick gorgeous powdercoat job chips easily and then looks like crap. I thin powdercoat or paint job passes visual inspection early on, but scratches easily and is sometimes porous enough to oxidize through it. A...

After that, can we pick your winch and recovery gear? :peepwall:

:jumping: Whoa there buddy... 5.13 with 35's on a 3.6L JK would be awesome if you NEVER took it on the highway. 4.56 is the rational gear choice for balanced city, highway, and trail driving with 35's. The only people I know who run 5.13s in a 2012+ JK are the ones running 40s or rock crawlers...

How rigid or pliable is the Bed Tred? Is the fit pretty snug or do you see a potential for it to move around a bit?

Get the tire size that you want and makes you happy. You will find a way to make everything else work when you do. Spend some time doing a google image search for "JK 33 no lift", "JK 35 no lift", "JK 33 2.5 lift", and "JK 35 2.5 lift". I think you will start to get an idea of what appeals...

I think the PIA factor of my Gobi Stealth and the height of my Jeep are enough of a detractor. Thieves and thugs are looking for lower hanging fruit. I'm more concerned about my winch and Factor55 Pro-link growing legs. I've used one of those locking bolts on the winch, but it really is only...

I'm in the same boat. I have polished the tub with my heel on the driver's side. Raptor liner is on my list to have done next spring.

Only if you buy me a drink first :sombrero: We use a flannel lined double sleeping bag as well. I think ours is a Slumberjack or Coleman. Either way, it really is just two normal rectangle sleeping bags zipped together. I looked into getting actual sheets and a comforter (what we use when...

Thank god this thread wasn't what I feared from the title... Rebel Offroad has the closest I've found to what you are looking for. I would consider getting a set if I ran a hard top year-round. http://jeep.rebeloffroad.com/product-p/roe-jk-wr.htm
