    Jeep Gladiator Build Thread - 18 months around Australia with The Road Chose Me

    I had to laugh Dan, I installed my ARB compressor in my JK just a few days before I watched your install video on Youtube, and felt better after running into a lot of the same wiring issues that you had. Not very clear to say the least.

    Our next big addition to the backend. I am very happy how the drawers, fridge, and how the whole backend has come together. More changes coming soon...

    That setup the next big change. The backend was drooping enough without adding more weight: Added a Tuff Stuff Alpha rooftop tent. I ordered it in March, have been waiting months but it finally arrived last week after the shipping delays. My friends at Maine Line Overland in NH helped me...

    Wolfpack Alpha - 2014 JK Build Thread

    Haven't posted in quite a while, first because hadn't done much with the Jeep but then have been swamped and didn't have time to post. But a lot has changed, a lot of info to come. First up, I made some changes to the suspension: I had put the Teraflex 4" lift in last year and was very...

    Well after examination of my old winch Comeup was nice enough to send a replacement. Mine was toast. Electronics were all fried and the motor would only turn one way. Rather than rebuild it, they offered to give me one that they had on hand for fitment purposes, while replacing all the...

    So decided to dig into the power steering pump project today. I have to admit that I have been dreading this project but knew that I had to get it done. Out with the old, in with the new: It is actually easier to take mounting plate off with it than trying to get to the mounting screws...

    Good guess, but no... Power steering pump for the win. Mine has been going downhill for the last several months and has been brutal to drive. Quite a workout! Hopefully will be going in this weekend.

    Wolfpack Alpha - 2014 JK Build Thread

    Why do I keep having crazy stories happen to me? So I get home today from running some errands and ran in the house with one load, and then went back into the garage to grab another load, and the winch starts going all on its own. Mind you the Jeep is off. Thankfully it is spooling out, but then...

    Wolfpack Alpha - 2014 JK Build Thread

    So I finally was able to finish up the front end repairs from a trip earlier in the year when we got in the rocks quite a bit. On our way home it was obvious something was wrong as it wouldn't track straight and was unstable. First I found that one of the newer Teraflex ball joints had become...

    In the middle of a couple of projects. First up Genesis dual battery kit. While it ended up well, the install was pretty intensive. You basically have to take apart the entire left side of the engine compartment in order to get the old battery tray out and the new one in. And everything is a...

    Bad news, the large claw comes with a 3" ball: Well that's not going to work. After calling RAM I was able to order a replacement 1" ball. $7, nice! Shipping $20 ?. Got the new ball in today:

    Continued working on the tablet mounting system. Started to get parts in. Decided to try the "large claw" from RAM to try and mount it directly to the grab handle. Good news, it fits! Next, I got the X Grip for 8" tablets and a medium arm:
