Finally got the completed Jeep on the scale today. Final trim, with everything coming to Africa. 1/2 tank of gas, 1/2 tank of water and 180lbs of Dan in the driver's seat. (Titan fuel tank empty) 5980 lbs. That's a few hundred heavier than I was aiming for, though it is what it is at this...

I've been doing that too. Sunny days, cold nights. I froze my water system a couple of nights in a row, so far there doesn't appear to be any damage. -Dan

I can confirm that is the rear track bar and bracket to mount it, sorry, I don't have any idea on how to best help. -Dan

I'm working on shipping now. Still aiming for first week of June to be in Morocco. -Dan

Hi All, Over the last couple of days I drove over to Nova Scotia, I'm organizing shipping to Europe now. For 1000 miles I kept the cruise at 62 mph. Big rolling hills on the highway, some requiring 5th gear. The Jeep is now at full expedition trim and weight with the top, tires, wheels, lift...

I thought the same of the Mud Terrains until I drove out with the All Terrains. It's a huge difference in noise. -Dan

Sounds awesome, I wish you the best of luck! Do you mind saying where the shop is (town?) I absolutely love diving, and it would be great to swing through, one day in the distant future! -Dan

A couple of people asked for more details on the exact size of the tires. My JKUR is heavy, I have not weighed it yet, but likely 5500-6000lbs I think. I'm running 36 psi in the BFG 34x10.5R17 KO2s. It was hard to hold the tape and the camera, the tires are 32" or maybe 32.25" at the highest...

My JKUR is heavy, I have not weighed it yet, but likely 5500-6000lbs I think. I'm running 36 psi in the tires. It was hard to hold the tape and the camera, the tires are 32" or maybe 32.25" at the highest point. And with the AEV 2.5" lift, all four stock fender flares are ********** on 37": Let...

Thanks for the info, I had no idea the manual option with the HEMI was available to the public. GLWS! -Dan

Bump. $150. -Dan

The first one pictured is also very rare. It's got a 6.4L Hemi with a manual trans, an option AEV never released (as far as I know) Do want, very much. -Dan

Great tire, size and lift choice. Here's mine with the 34x10.5R17 KO2 and AEV 2.5" lift. I'm really impressed how it handles the weight. -Dan

Ursa Minor Vehicles is still making the J30 for 100% certain. Talk to John at Ursa Minor Vehicles if you want a J180/Habitat. -Dan

I have the Synergy under hood bracket for mine and absolutely love it. So happy to save that interior storage space (under seat) for something else. -Dan

Just had the most exciting meeting of my life at Chrysler HQ showing off the Jeep to some Jeep Execs :) -Dan

Call John at Ursa Minor Vehicles. -Dan

The Trailgater Tailgate Table is one of my favorite additions to my Jeep for camping. I use it for three meals a day, and sometimes even as a workbench. My cutlery and small tools have been floating around in Tupperware containers taking up the limited storage space I have in the Jeep. I wanted...

I spent the whole weekend wrenching on the Jeep while it was sleeting outside. On the advice of many, and with the help of the editor of JPFreek Adventure Magazine, we installed Rugged Ridge HD Ball Joints, U-Joints, Tie Rod Ends and drag link end. While we were in there we put on new unit...

It was great to meet you guys too! Have fun! Thanks very much, that's extremely helpful! Thanks for the kind words. I just went outside and ran a tape over it. With the BFG KO2s in 34x10.5R17, AEV 2.5" lift, Ursa Minor J30 roof and all my junk inside, it's just under 6' 11" at the highest...
