I agree, to an extent. It depends on your plans and your situation I guess. I've spent many nights in tents with very basic gear, several nights in the back of pickups, etc. A couple years ago I bought a 7' slide-in truck camper and found that is was just way more than we needed. It was...

Check out 4xshaft.com (tom woods), maybe give them a call and check out some other options as well if you're getting a $350 estimate as is.

I don't see why not. Two up front and two over the rear section, no problem if you don't mind being close to each other. However packing gear for four people in a jk is not easy!

Thanks for posting that, great visual! So many different ways to configure that space. I was looking at the front running sliding cargo rack but your setup shown above seems to keep everything accessible without much wasted space. Nice to visualize where I could put things....

The install is fairly straight forward, just follow the directions, loosen the control arm bolts during install, and re-torque everything once it's sitting on its own weight again. A ratchet strap can help re-align the track bar as stated. Toe shouldn't need to be adjusted (unless it was off...

That sounds affordable to me. And proven. I had torklift fastguns, great product, easy and quick to use. Factor in the time you'll spend to make these and the money you'll put in. But hey if you just like to make stuff that's cool! I'm just saying there are good affordable products on the...

Obviously the density of the rubber is going to be important, maybe a trail and error type of deal to find what you like. But I have to wonder, with so many different type of spring loaded tie downs on the market (that are fairly affordable), what are you trying to accomplish?

Even marshal is less of a jerk here! ;) haha Although in his defense, I wouldn't want to moderate a place like that. Welcome! Any interest in showing someone around your favorite spots in Colorado in the summer? I've got six weeks off this summer and would love to explore Utah and Colorado...

Sounds like you already made up your mind, but since people are still commenting... I agree with locking the rear first as well. The rear axle is stronger. With the uneven front/rear weight of a pickup, the rear is normally the first to have traction issues. Flex the truck out in a ditch and...

Never a problem. I had the hitch custom made, it bolted in between the frame rails. I used it a handful of times. At least once was at an odd angle as I was sliding sideways down a hill. The winch and plate actually belong to a friend, he used it that way on his TJ for years and now on his...

Same here. Excellent all around tire, and actually the first time that I've run more than once. I sold my last truck with over 45k miles on the km2s with half tread, running a Detroit rear locker. I had this set siped and they are amazing in snow and ice. I went on a snow run at a local ohv...

Golf club bags? Lol! I thought we were talking about overlanding here? I do think the Toyota would be a lot more reliable and durable though.

Without measuring (still away from the jeep for two weeks) I would assume that a 50qt fridge, tailgate table and behind the seat tank wouldn't all fit, no?

The front bumper is setup a bit different on the sport trac, don't think it would fit or look good at all. I had an 05 sport trac, ran a 3" body lift, 4.88 gears, front and rear Aussie lockers, 33x12.50s. It was a fun rig and fairly comfortable. I had a local fab guy build a 2" receiver up...

Would that front running tank fit under the rear seats (obviously in the up position)? You'd probably have to remove the brackets to put it in, and lose the ability to lower the seats, but I'm curious if you think it would fit there anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to outfit...

Thanks man! I was looking at the front runner rack but it doesn't look like it extends to the back window, and doesn't look adjustable.

Would one of you mind taking a couple measurements when you have a chance? I'd like to know what the height is from the rack to the ceiling of the habitat, from the bottom of the rack to the top of the drawer, and from the bottom of the rack to the floor of the trunk. And maybe a better...

You can run 37s on a jk with 2.5-3.5" lift and flat/tube fenders. If you keep the stock front axle (assuming rubi d44) you'll want to gusset the outer c, install axle sleeves to keep the housing from bending, truss probably, and definitely heavy duty ball joints (synergy or dynatrac). Plus...

That looks like a Phoenix/coyote rv camper. Rob (offroadcamperguy) posts regularly in his thread here.

I really wish Ford would come up with a real SUV with a frame, solid axles and a manual transfer case with manual trans option. Something to compete with the JK. I bought a new JK to get these things but the overall quality is total garbage compared to every Ford I've ever owned.
