    JKU Sleeping Platform Overhaul

    Today I decided to rebuild the sleeping platform in my Jeep. It seemed like the perfect time to get started, the day before a trip when I will need to use it. Nothing motivates a guy like a make or break deadline! The platform has been rebuilt once already, and the original design was good and...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    That's a nice clean not over done Gladiator! I'd like to have one setup like that someday. Probably not going to happen as we have two low mileage JKU's but you never know. I've heard it said if you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans. Anyhoo, nice Jeep!

    Pronghorn bumper’s?

    I actually bought it second hand by a member on here, 84-4runner in the classifieds. I went out on a limb as he was 1200 miles away but he's a straight shooter! I had a friends wife's friend pick it up for me and then it was brought up north by her. Friends of friends are good to have! The tank...

    Pronghorn bumper’s?

    I've done three of the AEV setups on my JK's and they're pretty nice. My former Jeep got the bumper and tire carrier, my current Jeep has the same setup and my wife's Jeep has just the tire carrier. Being able to open the tire carrier with the tailgate is worth every penny! She had the AEV gas...

    What type of mounts are these?

    I'd like to have something like that for my AEV tire carrier, just not for $351! That's a Putin price hike!!

    The Oversleeper

    I really like your sleeping platform. It's very close to what I have envisioned in my head to build for mine. Now that I have only one daughter left at home and a fridge I'm sleeping downstairs most trips. It makes everyone happier when they're not disturbed from me climbing out of the Ursa...

    Pronghorn bumper’s?

    It was probably donated to test because it was just sitting around in the way at ok4wd. It was probably out on the floor for a while and no one had any interest in it due to the cost. If something isn’t selling the business will replace it with something that is. I’m sure once it got back to ok...

    Pronghorn bumper’s?

    I can’t imagine they’d still be in business with their pricing. That being said there’s a ton of overpriced products out there that sell well to people looking to buy an image who have more money than sense. I haven’t seen any pronghorn products in the real world though and I’d think they’d show...

    Got Scammed by SAMUE

    I always prefer postal money orders for all my transactions when I can. I feel they’re safer and mail fraud is still investigated. I just dropped twice the money the op did on here with a member that was a few days drive away. A friends wife picked up the item for me a week after the transaction...

    Need Advice About Which Winch To Get For My JKU

    I’ve got a used m8000 warn on my current jkur, and had one on my previous Jkur as well. The m8000 or m8 warm winch is 55 pounds with synthetic line added and has been built in the USA for a long, long time. Replacement parts are readily available for the winch and while it’s not up to the...

    Refrigerators

    My fridge finally arrived yesterday and I’ve been playing around with it. I was surprised how fast it cooled down initially and the app is a nice feature, especially the battery monitor. I had it plugged in overnight to a yellow top d34 battery and I lost .2 volts in ten hours. The seven mile...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Does anyone with a gen 2 J30 top with factory solar have a pic of the pass through for the wiring and where it's located? I aquired a couple solar panels and I'm thinking about installeing them on my roof rack.

    American Safari JXL ....non responsive

    I've been watching that and time will tell as they just got them installed. I'm anxious to see how they hold up as well. There are a few things I like about the product, such as more interior space (who doesn't like that) and things I don't like the rear overhang and the weight so far from the...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Does anyone know of a product that will take the scratch marks out of the bed liner material on a J30? My daughter drove the Jeep down the side of a tree last year in Moab and it didn't get through the bed liner but it did dull the finish where the limbs were. I believe I seen someone mention...

    Refrigerators

    I've never regretted it after the purchase. I have items now that were premium when new and they're still going strong. Quality often enough pays for itself!

    Refrigerators

    I thought I’d better update this thread. There was a good sale going on at Lolo overland over the weekend. It was good enough for us to decide to spend some of our savings and pick up an arb zero 47 quart fridge. With everything shooting up in price from inflation, our savings account sitting...

    Simple question regarding dual battery set-up, diagram: 2016 4Runner

    If you’d like an on the cheap option for isolating batteries, buy a golf cart relay and put it between the positive terminals on your batteries. Wire the small post up to ignition on and then it will be isolated when the truck is turned off and connected when on. There’s a thread here in expo...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Thanks, I don't want or need to know everything about his personal life, I was just worried about him. I hope the family emergency ends well. Chris doesn't know me other than a brief encounter in Moab, but I've gotten to know him through the years watching his youtube videos.
