Hilarious that the raptor's payload is mentioned but not the wrangler.

He wasn't treating it harshly either I believe. It's at the 4xoverland youtube channel that Andrew St. Pierre tells that story. I've watched a lot of his stuff the last few days and in several videos of his most recent troopy built he mentions not overloading your vehicle. Just to bring this...

Well in theory, exceeding gvwr makes your vehicle less safe to drive. Brakes aren't as effective if not upgraded, more strain on the frame, etc. Operating a vehicle less safely could in fact effect others. Maybe braking distance is misjudged. Maybe it's raining. Maybe lots of things. Maybe...

I promise you it's not because I don't want to understand it. My thoughts are that people take too much because they have the ability to purchase and carry too much. Rooftop Tents I've never been on board with. Maybe I'm still young my hips don't mind the ground under a good tarp. But sure to...

I understand the desire for comfort, but I will never understand the ability to exceed GVWR. There are plenty of people who go for 1-2 weeks with what they can carry on their back. I think 80 lbs is enough food, shelter, and gear to get someone through 2 weeks. If you want to be extra comfy...

Search for "greymouser" on the forums and also anything with jscherb. Maybe safari cab will get you to his lj thread quickly.

I get a sad feeling in my heart every time I read that someone may have to sell their rig.

So...are there any recommended trainings to teach off road driving? Like the http://www.i4wdta.org/ or something?

Anyone have a reliable shop near Bloomington that would take a look at a 4Runner before I pulled the trigger? Thanks!

I bought a new tent! My girlfriend did as well. Obviously we have to keep the one she picked. So I have a brand new MSR Elixir 3 person tent new with tags. I didn't even bother taking it out to look at it. Looking to get 275. MSRP is 300 and it's literally off the shelf.

I came late to the thread with the quick reply!

A raspberry pi will take care of the backup camera and stereo placement. a pi zero for 5 dollars should do for the computing piece. if you're into building with small electronics.

I recognize this thread is dead but could you just bolt on a panel like this tj6 conversion? http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f22/108-tj-tj6-1125818/index2.html Since the door is already open it shouldn't mess with the structural integrity of the tub. You just remove the door and bolt this over...

Oh I don't care about the gazelle. I just thought they came together and had to be used together. So the tj-6 above appears to have a stretched body? Do they just cut the body in half and weld in a section from another tub?

But it would need a different top, that gazelle top won't fit a 2 door jk that I can find. Or am I missing something on their site?

Alright then...approximate cost on the tj-6 stretch? Also why do that when you can just search for a tju?

Is there any hope or news of the 2018 wrangler coming in a 2 door long wheelbase version? Has anyone heard anything in all their interwebs musing?
