    OK, what did I screw up on the new JKU? Motor noise UPDATE in #4

    I have been down and out the last few days with a good cold and the Mrs. said the Jeep started to make a weird noise. I got around to check it out. It sounds like the ARB air pump is running intermittent but since I haven't hooked up the harness yet it can't be it. It sounds like it is coming...

    Holy cow Jeepman, I wound up with a new Hard Rock! SOLD SOLD SOLD

    The fairlead adapter plate came in and I was able to mock everything up to see how it all fits. You know, with a little effort that could be a "hidden" winch. Of course I would have to hide the Mick Jagger lips I put on it! I had the stock fairlead powder coated to match the hooks to add...

    Managed to make it to the big box store before they closed and got the elbow. I think I will put a couple of zip ties on the air filter so there won't be a chance to viberate off on the road. Still need to wire it up...... That should do it for under the hood stuff. Anyone have any thoughts...

    The new EVO ARB compressor bracket came in fast - Thanks Northridge 4x4! I have it all mounted up but I had to pull the air filter as it is too tight to fit. I''l have to get a few bits and pieces to put in a small elbow. I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue. I did use the back...

    So the Rigids are in. The only down side is the two lower bolts came out nice but when I went to put them in they just spin. I can pull them out but seems like there is suppose to be a nut back in there that fell off. Have to figure out the fix for this. The only ones I can find are the...

    2017 Wrangler Rubicon Recon

    There is always the issue with the first year offerings and getting the bugs worked out. Perhaps the Recon kind of eases in to that while moving a few more units out the door. ratled

    I did a quick video walk around the rig, kind of a before picture if you will, and posted it on You Tube for some friends. The mic picked up the moderate wind pretty bad so I dubed in some corny stock You Tube music. I thought I put it here for kicks too ratled

    The Spod is in. Nice, simple and clean. I am having a little troubles enjoying this addition as I'm having a little buyers remorse with it. With the power management from the Genesis DB system and this it seems to me to be over kill. Don't get me wrong the Spod is a great unit, I just think...

    On to adding the winch. I guess I am one of the few who still likes the 10A bumpers and want to keep it. I went with a Rugged Ridge 10A winch plate. Nothing sexy and is solid enough to get the job done. The down side is I still need a fairlead adapter so I placed an order from Just for...

    FINALLY have been able to get some work done. Fist thing in is the Genesis dual battery system with twin Odyssey 1500 batteries. All the electrical builds off of this so I started with a solid foundation. It is everything I was expecting. The only little issue was the stock Jeep positive...

    RUBI - Double Duty Rig

    Looking forward to following your build, quite a bit of similarities on rigs and desires.. Just a quick note, IMHO with the Power Hood, you don't 'need" the hood latches. The vibrations of the regular hood don't seem to be an issue with the power hoods. ratled
