    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    Thanks, I wasn't looking forward to dealing with figuring out how to make the proper horizontal adjustments with my OCD! I considered the harness, but after talking with Dan about a good balance between improved lighting and the bulbs' longevity, I went with the pigtails. Down the line, I can...

    I'm back in a Jeep, a JKU

    Sorry for a slight hijack, Hilldweller, but have you found a need to adjust any of your headlights horizontally? After working my way through your research threads and Daniel Stern's info, I've ordered Cibies, H13/H4 pigtails, and Osram 70/65's from him. I think I'm good to go, but I've read a...

    What width front bumper are you running and why did you pick that one? (JK)

    I also went with a stubby from Shrockworks. Having bought my JK in December of '06, I was ahead of the wave of aftermarket products. Fortunately, Shrockworks came out with an awesome stubby that really followed the lines of the Jeep and had all the features I was looking for. Their sliders and...

    2011-2014 JK dash accessory mount Proof of Concept

    Looks good! A word of caution, though: that mounting location places the iPad between the airbag and the passenger and will be a danger should the airbag deploy. If you can, you might want to align it more along the center stack to minimize the hazard. Here's my setup with the Vector Offroad...

    New Caribou Quick Fasten Cargo Box & Case System

    They work very well. I've used them with several different Pelican cases, including three rifle cases (two on the roof rack and one inside). Can't post pics at the moment, but you can see them in my build thread here...

    I need a new wallet...

    I've used the Maxpedition Micro wallet for years. Small and inexpensive, it carries what I need. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/MICRO-WALLET-11p86.htm

    Pelican/Action Packers or any cases on Gobi Rack

    Not on a Gobi, but I use the Caribou Cargo system for Pelican cases on my roof and internal cargo racks. They're secure, yet easily unlocked and removed. I'm having some issues uploading pics at the moment, but you can check out my build thread...

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    Based on what I've read/heard, the double size has a center bar that can make it uncomfortable. Try it out first!

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    It's a heavy-duty vinyl cover that I had made for it by a guy who makes tent trailers, repairs RV awnings, etc. It cost a bit more than the Tentcot itself, but I hope to use it for many years. It has a large zipper on the front, passenger, and rear sides, covered by a flap to minimize water from...

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    The only issue I've had is that in use, the water temperature varies from warm to very hot to cool, then through the cycle again. When we installed it, we did not set it up so that the temperature was regulated by the HVAC controls. Now we're waiting for the right parts so we can install a...

    Great timing, thanks! I was going to wait and see if they had a good Black Friday deal, but I 'm not passing this up!

    Best dual battery tray for '07 JK?

    I appreciate that info, as another forum member has offered me an unused Rugged Ridge tray that should work well. Thanks!

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    I was asked for some further details on the rear cargo rack, so here you go. I hope the measurements are accurate, but as I took them myself, you should definitely double- and triple-check them if you work off of this!

    Danner Desert Acadias

    Very good price! Danners are great boots, well-crafted and made in the USA (at least the Acadia line). I wear them daily and would snap these up, but I take 11's. Good luck!

    Expo / Daily-driver JK build (Pic-heavy)

    Here are some pics of the Helton set up: No longer using the standard jack, this space was available, though difficult to fit: The hoses were routed through a foam knockout piece on the passenger side, then underneath to engine. Sorry, didn't take pics all the way up, but the hoses run...
