Thanks Frank! Great name too. I probably have the most aesthetically boring build. It has all the important stuff like sliders, skids, dual batteries, comms, recovery gear, etc. But none of the flashy stuff. I'd love a fully AEV built JK350 as much as the next guy, but I'd be pretty annoyed if...

Me too. I was a little worried on the first trip out with the wife and dog. I hadn't done the geo brackets or alignment yet and it felt like it was pulling and overloaded. This time it worked great. I'll probably still install some airbags for back up. But I was really impressed with the...

My new "kitchen" set up worked pretty well. The fridge is in the second row. My food is at the front of the Tuffy drawer and the cooking equipment and cleaning supplies are at the rear of the drawer. The Springtail Solutions MOLLE table works well as a table since I prep food on cutting boards...

Thanks guys. I'm continually impressed with the stock tires. If I had no interest in harder trails, I wouldn't hesitate to keep them. The articulation, lockers and sway bar disconnect make rock crawling about as easy as picking a line and letting the jeep do the work. Next up is an AEV tire...

It rained on us at top of the World on monday morning. But the rocks weren't too slippery. There was a lot of mud on the first day through the Serengeti-like plateaus. Previous storms created a lot of rock slides, and moved the boulders around so there was no discernible line on a lot of the...

Wife! Congratulations! I just made a sleeping platform myself. I think you're a bit shorter than me. It should work out perfectly for you two.

I just got back from a Kokopelli Trial trip with OutdoorX4 Magazine, FunTrek Books and OzTent. 22 hours of highway driving. 3 days of trail driving, including top of the world and about 1.5 days of rock crawling. The recent storms in Utah really wreaked havac on the usually easy to moderate...

I have the shiny black front ARB diff cover. I hit it on a rock in Moab yesterday and it started leaking opposite the hit. Leaked all the way home. Might have been installer error. The bolts seem to have loosened up a lot.

I haven't yet. I figure it's bass, it should go through/around it anyway. I know a lot of people like to remove their sub. But I didn't really want to spend money to get rid of the subwoofer (replace with Sport trim). It would make sleeping easier though. I'll have to sleep at a diagonal. Things...

Yes, but now the one for the JK. This is their 058 drawer. It's for the TJ and a bunch of other trucks like old Broncos and Defenders. I wanted something only 8" high to leave enough room for action packer bins, and my feet, between the top of the drawer and the front runner shelf. It measures...

Good idea! I have about a million of those somewhere. Not sure about the clearance. Might have to still move the whole back some. But that might be a good solution for mounting the drawer itself to the tub.

Alignment completed (steering wheel needs to be centered and it feels a bit twitchy now but I'll reserve judgment for a smoother highway). Slid the drawer in. It works with the drawer much better than I expected. Should work well for food prep, giving me access to the cooking gear and food...

I also sleep in mine. I'll double check but I didn't notice any sharp edges. I plan to mostly use it for prep. I have some cheap aluminum Coleman legs I use as a stove stand and will probably continue to use that. Although I wonder if you could mount a partner steel stove to the bottom that...

Finally gave up on building my own tailgate table (anyone want some NSF Stainless Steel shelves?) and ordered an M-Pac table from Doc Frost (great name). Not exactly what I wanted but good quality and will get the job done for less than half the price of the Trailgater table. Geeze, my tailgate...

Email JW Speaker and get them to send you a replacement. If they're charging premium prices, they should have premium customer service also. I had a similar experience with TruckLite and they took care of it.

Got some much needed work done on the Jeep this weekend. Removed the front brakeline brackets per AEV lift install instructions. Changed the front diff oil (13,000 miles) and installed an ARB diff cover. Installed a Rock Hard 4x4 winch plate (that I got new for $100 from someone locally)...

I wouldn't bother with 33s. You're only gaining <0.5" of ground clearance.

Yeah yours is looking good. For folks who want a very stock but very capable JK, I'd run stock tires or BFG AT KO2 34x10.5r17 tires with wheel spacers (looks better and sway bar clearance) and a 2.5" lift. Gets your fuel tank 3-4" higher without affecting gearing or gas mileage much, and without...

Why would you try to run 35s with no lift? 37s fit with the 4.5" lift especially BFG AT KO2s. You have to cut the rock sliders for 35s already. And the 37" BFGs weigh less than the 35s. I don't actually need 37s. I was just thinking about it today since 2.5 plus 32s doesn't look very extreme.
