    Need new shocks - AEV 2.5" DS lift - your thoughts?

    I've been thinking about this some more, and after reading your post it hit me...the Bilstein 5100 series shocks have been great for a pile of miles, they are reasonably priced and available. My curiousity of knowing if there is something better out there (in the same $$$ range) is what prompted...

    Need new shocks - AEV 2.5" DS lift - your thoughts?

    What's your current setup? Lift and other add-ons? Any other experience with other shocks prior to the Rancho's?

    Need new shocks - AEV 2.5" DS lift - your thoughts?

    Like I mentioned in the original post, I'm starting to get some bouncing and swaying. Even the on road ride is getting a little sloppy and harsh. The Falcon's also cost the most...I like the 2.0 version of the Falcons, but can't get any real world experience from anyone with them. I'd love for...

    Need new shocks - AEV 2.5" DS lift - your thoughts?

    I'm in the market and researching what shocks I should replace my 52K miles AEV tuned Bilsteins with. Not real interested in dropping a load of coin, but I'm curious to know your specific experience with a setup similar to mine. I've looked at standard 5100 series Bilsteins, Fox 2.0, Faclon's...

    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Yep, I too can confirm this...the Batwing will not connect (without modification) to the RV5. I set up camp beside someone with an RV5 and new Batwing and asked him to try it for me out of curiosity. Nope, no go. The zippers are capped on the ends, and seemed to be of a different size tooth.

    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Finally had a few minutes to open mine up this afternoon as well. I too have had a good bit of rain today and concur that the bag does let water in and it will work its way down if given the chance. I think like most things...these things just need to be used and you need to be cognizant of...

    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Welp, mine arrived today with the rains in the southeast. Got it installed tonight on the Pioneer Platform in around 30 minutes by myself, from unpacked out of the box to on the Jeep; promising, considering I may remove it occasionally for various reasons...unless I just absolutely love having...

    New JKU Cargo System and Other Upgrades

    Thanks! It's a little bit clearer now...only partly cloudy. So you intent was to have the tent open towards the rear (and be flat on the platform)...is that the only reasons you went to all the trouble?

    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Thanks for the image. I've got one on the way. It'll be mounted to my Pioneer Platform so I'm hoping the rear glass clears and/or doesn't push up on the panel too much. I'm looking forward to my first awning.

    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Thanks for the time and effort in the writeup! I'm strongly looking at one of these for my Pioneer Platform on my JKU. It's my first awning so I'm wondering if I should start with a sunseeker or just go all in on the batwing. Opening my rear window on the tailgate is also a concern (same issue...

    This is a really great write-up and adventure. As an east-coaster I want to get out there so bad. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.

    Organization and storage solutions.

    I'm in the process and nearing completion of my storage setup. I love the Goose Gear solution but just can't justify the cost at this point and I've got the tools and materials at hand to build my own. I sleep in the Jeep on solo trips, so I wanted a sleeping platform, storage underneath, keep...
