ETA for market?

Just found a URL of Rubtriux having done this all in steel - no hardtop extension. https://www.rubitrux.com/go4x4it/mojave-jk-ext/ Where the Rubtrux kit falls apart is the hardtop/bed - the lines / ratios just don't look right to me and they ended up with something that doesn't quite look...

Agreed - I didn't think that a frame extension would be all that difficult to fab/produce as a kit. It could even be bolt-on - While folks underestimate the strength of the rear frame section on JKs as evidenced by some posts, I would not rely on a hitch extension to carry the factory tongue...

They did extend the bumper to make it look pretty. They said they could fab extension on to a steel bumper for rear rocker protection... I don't recall how the bumper was attached, but I asked specifically about frame rails and they are not extended ... and I looked, didn't see any. I was...

I looked at this thing closely at Expo West. The frame/frame rails are not extended and the body extension is made out of fiberglass. I don't believe the exhaust is either (creating a hazard). The hitch is simply extended from the factory carrier using a simple extender. Guess they didn't...

Price? sent via the cone of silence

Yes. The nanny in the Jeep JK computer gives it some add'l gas once it hits 2700-3000RPM or so and what little compression breaking I did have flies right out the window. The 6 speed (manual) give lots more control, but not when the damn computer gets involved. First time it happened, I was...

YES you can drown an AGM, but if the liquid is conductive enough you may get some leakage current & corrosion. While not not all AGMs are the same, ALL batteries have a relief valve in them to prevent explosion. ALL lead acid based batteries will outgas if overcharged (too much voltage). Some...

You are partially correct. The CTEK SmartPass is another box that will increase the charging & load current to 250A - total overkill for me...and drives up the cost quite a bit. I am not aware of any CTEK chargers that will back feed power to the main battery automatically...I'd not want any...

You're running the same setup I am...using a Ctek dual port 250S (Mppt + batt charger) in my jeep. Battery is mounted under my seat in rear. Look at the Universal Battery 121000 100ah battery from Amazon. I've used these in various industrial, ups, and comms applications and been pleased. Price...

The 2012 and newer have a different battery tray - would have made it so much easier. I had to relocate the TIPM fwd to get a group 31 to fit. I use blue sea breakers on top of battery similar to your setup and a blue sea fuse panel. The panel runs high current accessories that need to be live...

That Busman is only good for 80amp continuous unless it has dual busses. Keep that in mind while fusing it. Also, automotive/marine wire can handle higher currents. It is the voltage drop that is the primary concern for wiring sizes. There are two people selling a prepopulated busman kit on...

Use a 100ah sealed agm from united battery. $130 on Amazon. Great battery for small draws like your CPAP. Measute the actual current the CPAP draws. If it's labeled for say 2a, it likely uses less. Charge using ctek dc/dc charger from the vehicle while driving. There are others that may DC /DC...

I just installed a single larger battery...it is an Sams Club AGM Group 31 105ah. Time will tell how it works out...but considering I was running my two doemtics off the stock sized group 34 agm, it should be a hell of an improvement. I have an amp meter on the alternator and it hits 140amps...

Great point...forgot to mention that. I have the Prodigy P3 controller and love it. I use boost settings a little differently then they intended. I'll set a lower power setting but increase/max out the boost while on road (to the higher ratings and then lower/turn off boost while off road.) I...

No one ever complains about having too much braking ability. Your dynatrac BBK is basically overcoming the rotating mass of your heavier/bigger tires/wheels. I've ridden in a few jeeps with the Dynatrack kit - they stop a bit better than stock with factory pads, but not enough for me to...

Thx...if it is something you think about trying - go for it. Easy and very rewarding. It is an easy project and will cost ya less than $75 with all the bolts and rack. I used flange nuts that have ridges on the back - they dig into the metal when tightened and in this application I don't need...

Any thoughts on running a tube type tire. The STA Traxion tire requires tubes...and looks pretty cool.

Hera ya go...really straightforward. The alum angle 6061 (I think it is 1.5" x 3/16"...might be 2") I had laying around. It is used in scaffolding. Unfortunately it already had some holes drilled in it and I realized it after I cut the brackets (oh well) ... Don't worry, the hole for the...

This paint is amazing...seriously tough stuff. It has only chipped where I had too much urethane topcoat on some of the edges...otherwise it is tough. For the first time ever spraying anything, I was pretty happy with how it came out. The primer is too think to use a conventional HVLP...
