I never said I had to wait for them to wear out! Actually I usually sell my tires before they are half worn and get decent money for them. New tires are one of my favorite things! I figured the difference between just running 35s, and running 37s with sleeves, gussets, HD balljoints...

This afternoon I spent a few hours in the back of the Jeep trying to come up with a good storage/shelving solution. While I sat and measured I looked up dimensions of storage containers on my phone, and dimensions of a couple of coolers (a fancy 12v fridge is going to have to wait a while)...

Or my new money pit, whatever... I'm excited about it anyway! Last week I sold my F150, left the buyer's credit union and went straight to the local Jeep dealer. I've been keeping my eye on local inventory but I had just missed the dead line to order a 2012, and I really wanted a white...

Good to hear they are making contact with you. Good luck!

Wow, every shop I've had re-gear one of my rigs told me that they will not re-gear unless all of the bearings are replaced. Just for that reason. Why on earth would you re-use the pinion bearing when you've already got it all apart? When you're spending a couple grand on gears and lockers it...

I also thought about a cheaper sport, then buying a prorock d44 for the front and going ahead with other mods. I plan to lift and re-gear anyway. But I just sold my second truck that I had modified, re-geared, locked front and read, and it is extremely difficult to get much money back for any...

Sold!

If you want to drive to Oregon I'll trade my new white factory painted top for a couple hundred bucks. lol I wanted a black top but the only thing I could find that met my criteria had painted fenders and top.

I say take them off (if it's easy) unless you plan to offload the camper. Extra weight, extra junk hanging off the sides to get caught on something. Someone hitting one of the jacks is a lot more expensive and time consuming than someone bumping the side of the truck. Plus you can't offload...

Never said it was better either, but not a bad solution for light weight items. I'm hoping to buy a habitat or some other camper top in a year so it doesn't make sense to put a lot into a rack for now. Though I didn't know the Cherokee rack was that weak. I've had a few explorers and the...

For what it's worth, I have found that most u-haul shops locally sell propane by the gallon. Although to be honest, I don't know that I've seen anyone charge per cylinder unless you're doing an exchange. Most of the big exchange companies cut back to a 15 lb fill in the 20 lb tanks too.

That looks like a good solution to me! Cheap, simple, lower profile and I bet it doesn't whistle like a yakima rack probably would.

Man insurance is such a crock! Have you contacted AEV and solicited recommendations from them? This can't be the first time it's been an issue. I spent over $10k on mods on my truck in a short period, and the best my insurance company would do is tell me to keep all of my receipts and keep...

I'm really curious as to why a roof rack could not be employed on the Habitat (j180), while it can on the J30 top. I'm selling my truck and ordering a new Rubicon Unlimited, and weighing my options between the Habitat, J30 and a more expensive (and heavier) Phoenix Pulse camper top. The...

Thanks! If anyone is interested I can supply a copy of (or link to) the carfax report.

Truck is sold! ---------------- I'll be sad to see this truck go, but it's time for a new toy! 2006 F150 FX4 Supercrew 5.4L V8 5.5' bed 75,000 miles Factory features and options A/C (front and rear) Tilt/cruise Power locks, windows, mirrors, seat, adjustable pedals Heated mirrors and rear...

I think I would find someone local who wants a 4" lift, pull both jeeps inside and swap parts. You could probably make some money in the process that way too.

I saw the j30, also very cool, but the wife thinks it would be too cramped for us without a dedicated open to the "downstairs". I'd be very interested to climb around in both, side by side. The j30 hard top would be great in inclement weather, but the habitat clearly has the space advantage...

Wow, I thought it was going to be in the mid 5's, not $7g! But I guess when you own the market you can do that. Very cool concept though, I had my wife sold on it at $5k so now its really going to cost me. What type of build time do you guys expect once production is rolling, and how many...
