    Pepe` Our Little Mule

    Thanks guys, Here are a few pics of the Quick Grip tie down straps I used on the fire wood rack. I purchased Stainless bolts from McMaster Carr to attach the Quick Grip straps to the rack. And an old one of Pepe following along on the K-Trail

    Pepe` Our Little Mule

    Fast forward to June of 2013. While making preparations for our Colorado Campaign trip I decided I should add a sway bar to help with body roll while driving on winding passes in Colorado. The soft springs on the M101 provide for a nice ride but sway a bit when you get a lid, rack, tent and...

    Pepe` Our Little Mule

    I'll try to bring you guys up to speed... In May of 2013 I lengthened the landing leg so that Pepe would sit level when unhitched from the JK. I basically used the original as a template and duplicated it. The original leg had been bent and straightened numerous times. I determined how...

    Pepe` Our Little Mule

    Thanks for the compliments guys. I know I've neglected keeping this thread up to date, building the roof rack for the JK and other jeep mods had Pepe on the back burner. The fenders have been black for several years ;)

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Since you brought up over built Jeeps this next mod just might throw me into that category. :D It all started with the dreaded death wobble :( Brandy began noticing it on her way to work and over the course of a few weeks it progressively got worse. If you begin to notice even the slightest...

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Thanks da10A. Rovers are my first love but sometimes you need something a little more comfortable and reliable for those long trips.

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    The drawer system I made for my D90 was 1/2 Birch. Like yours it is heavy and a difficult 2 person job to remove. If I remove the fridge and empty the drawers this one can be removed easily by 2 people.

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Thanks Matt. I couldn't be happier with the Combo Slide and base plate. Most of our rigs see more miles as daily drivers than overlanding. The base plate makes it simple to slide out when were not traveling. It is held in firmly by the two bolts at the front. The drawers and fridge are...

    Recovery Gear Storage

    I keep my recovery gear in a SoCal drawer. This makes it very easy to access. There's nothing worse than having unload your gear to find what you need. I also use Adventure Tool Company bags to keep various items within the drawer organized. One contains recovery gear, one has air tools...

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Yep, We'll beef it up for him with c gussets, some form of backbone or sleeves, gears and locker. Think he's wanting to wait until later this fall which is fine by me.

    On Board Air Location JK

    I installed mine in front of the fuel tank as you described. If you are considering this location make sure your compressor and its motor are sealed. ;) http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/69417-Brandy-s-2012-JKUR-Build/page7

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Septu, I've been a little negligent when it comes to checking in here. The rack easily supports our Eezi Awn RTT, Daisy, Brandy & I without flexing. In May I will have to add 10gal of water for a back country trip to Canyonlands. Due to the design and curvature of the tube it is even more...
