    Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up

    Regular size here with a Pioneer platform on the JKU when it's not on our trailer. It saved our butts (and a few others) when it rained at ExpoWest the first night last year.

    Maggiolina Fabric Removal and Reinstallation to replace zipper

    Have you asked Autohome how to remove the fabric? Any quality automotive upholstery shop should be able to handle the replacement of the zipper. I managed to break the annex zipper on our CVT RTT, completely my fault, and CVT explained to me how to remove the tent fabric from the frame to have...

    Garmin has finally "Garmin'd" Delorme InReach plans

    I had the original Spot and service was...well, spotty. That's when I bought an Inreach and have never looked back. When it comes to an emergency situation, I need to know its going to work. I'm not sure if the Spot has upgraded their network but I do know the Iridium network used by Garmin...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Happy New Year everyone! It's been quite awhile since my last update. Work got extremely busy starting in October and pretty much continued that way until this week. That is not to say that no tasks got done on the trailer or that we didn't get out for a quick test run because they were and...

    SoDak's M101A2 build

    I just added the BAL jacks to mine. Screwed them straight to the back of the frame and added a 1" square tube across the frame for the other end. I really like them.

    Building a Plywood Deck Plate in the Back of your JKU

    I believe this comes with the models that have the subwoofer installed in the floor. I found it on Ebay and it was called "15-18 Jeep Wrangler JK With 9 Speaker Alpine System Rear Cargo Tray Mopar New" You could of course just cut yours to work as well I would imagine. I hear you on the wasted...

    Building a Plywood Deck Plate in the Back of your JKU

    The plastic cargo/jack cover just lifts straight out, it's not the full size cargo tray. It looks like this:

    Building a Plywood Deck Plate in the Back of your JKU

    Nice write up! I did something similar but I chose to remove the the cargo cover and replace the full plastic cargo tray with the 1/4 version that covers the jack area but still allows access to the jack. I used a piece of 1 x 2 underneath for support which helps level everything out. You can...

    JK Steering Upgrades

    I used to do something similar..lol! I have found that even a quarter turn to reach spec can make a difference on the JK, especially when some of those specs are 125 ft-lbs! I purchased 2 sets of car ramps so I can get enough space under the Jeep to make it easier to tighten things up as even...

    JK Steering Upgrades

    Got it. I'd also put a torque wrench on every suspension bolt with all 4 wheels on the ground, they do have a tendency to loosen up over time.

    JK Steering Upgrades

    I'd suggest the geometry correction brackets for starters, and then have a good alignment shop check alignment and the rest of the front end components since replacing the TRE didn't solve the issue last time.

    JK Steering Upgrades

    For what it's worth I have the AEV 2.5 WITH the correction brackets on my 2013 Rubicon with 33's. It's currently at 86K and I haven't replaced anything in the suspension except the AEV Bilsteins which started leaking. I agree with @jadmt something is wrong.

    Tepui Hybox on Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform

    No problem! Frontrunner also makes non-quick release brackets for about $40. Is it possible to rotate the Tepui rails East-West instead of North-South? I could have done this on my CVT and only used one set of Rhinorack accessory bars. Another option might be these accessory feet for the...

    Bush Company Alpha RTT

    Very nice looking, great attention to detail. I'm curious about the MSRP as well!

    Tepui Hybox on Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform

    I went with 2 sets of accessory bars and Frontrunner Quick release mounts. I only went with 2 sets of bars because I couldn't change the orientation of the RTT mounting tracks as I mount my tent on our trailer as well. Frontrunner makes non-quick release brackets for about $40.
