I also had to install a set of upper and lower adjustable control arms to push the axle back so that it was centered in the wheel well. I went with Synergy again as I really like their stuff... Pushing the axle back caused the rear springs to make contact on with the rear sway bar when...

I also gave the front axle some love this spring... Artec gussets and Nitro sleeves All of that was done to stuff some 37" Toyo Open Country R/Ts under it... After the 37s went on, I had some slight rubbing issues in the rear... I replaced the 2" Rancho bump extensions...

I also replaced the stock fog lights with LEDs, I'll have to get some pics of those for you all. I will be replacing the KC lights on the windshield with two pairs of LED cube lights in the next week. I still like the KC lights, but they are just out of place with everything else being LEDs...

I got the sPOD installed over the weekend between the little guy's Bday and the wife's Bday. Still not sure how I managed to pull that one off! My son also asked me if we could make the Jeep look cool to go to his Bday party in. He wanted the top off and the tube doors on, how could I deny...

With the long drives to and from the trails, the kiddos needed a way to charge their devices, so I installed some USB charging ports in the back seat area. I opted to install the Powerwerx Panel Mount Dual USB 4.2A Device Charger for 12/24V Systems. This one steps down the 12V from the battery...

By removing the Rubicon decals from the hood at the start of all this theming, I was kind of bummed that nowhere else on the Jeep did it say that it was a Rubicon. Transferring the door button idea to the inside, I made these door latch tabs. I have a few friends that also have Jeep related...

I'm not a big fan of putting company names and logos all over my Jeep, so I had to come up with some other ideas to solidify the Greek warrior them. Then like a Spartan backhand, it hit me: a trail list! Finding a font that had a Greek look to it, but was still readable to us "Amuricans", I...

With more and more trails being ran every summer, it was time to address airing down and back up while out there. For the first part of this operation I decided to go with Trailhead Deflators. They are small, simple to use and look the part. When it comes to air in the tires, what goes out must...

Now properly kitted for some real trails, it became apparent that with the top off, the sun would beat down on us pretty hard over the course of a day. That problem was solved with a Spyder Web Shade. And to make it easier for me to remove the top by myself, a hoist was needed. I was able...

The below build thread has been composed and posted on a Jeep site over the last several years. Some of the wording and timing might be a little off, but I wanted to share the build here as well since I'm now gravitating to the Overland style of things.... When you live at the foot of the Rocky...

Thanks for that info! Where did you come by it?

@Teamoatmealpie It's not a bad campground, but having to get tokens to take a hot shower kind of sucked. You can only get the tokens when the office is open, so no last minute shower decisions there! My fridge was in the back of the Jeep (but the trailer battery for the brakes were getting...

So they don't like steep hills or long gradual ones... sounds like towing out here in the Rockies would not be much better with a Taco :( Thanks. Right now my major focus is on mpg while towing and how well it would tow out here in Colorado.

Thanks for the additional info. I'll probably end up making my own, it would be a good first welding project for me as well. I just need to figure out how I want to configure everything back there now. I've removed the large portion of the 60/40 rear seat and put a flat platform back there...

How are the rails secured at the bottom?

It looks like you have the back of your cargo rack mounted to the brackets and the front is tapped into the roll bars? Did you make those brackets your self, or source them from some place?

Nice setup and nice Rubicon. I've been looking at cargo racks for my mine for a while now. Just can't designed on which one or bring my self to pay what most of them are asking for it.

Thanks for that. What area are you pulling the trailer at with the Taco?

Yes, it looks like we were one day behind you. We did get hit by some very strong winds on the night of the 25th in Saline valley. We also had really strong winds one night in Bishop. When we stayed in Echo Canyon, it was a perfectly calm and beautiful night. I think had you guys gone about...

We were just a day behind you then. I wish we would have gotten the air shows you guys did. We only saw the one F-18 down low.
