    TrekboxX drawer system for JK idea thread

    Well... I've been tracking this thread since last fall and figured I'd pipe up on my 2¢ ... So... I've been leaning on putting in a AT system for my JKU with some modifications (I'm probably a bit like you when it comes to fit, build and quality... while the AT system is nice... I think I can...

    So how are the JKs holding up?

    Purchased a 2013 JKUR last spring... Had some issues with the one I purchased off the lot. But the dealer replaced with a newly built one. I've since modifed (2.5inch lift, 35's, RR, speed bumps, bumpers, winch, lights, etc.) and put 15K on it with auto tranny. Was out in the field quite a...

    Beat to Death Roof Rack Questions?

    I went with the Gobi as well... have no opinion on the AEV as I don't own that one (nor does anyone that I'm on the trails with...). No compaints for the Gobi tho, I'm completely satisfied with it. I mainly went with the Gobi for the LED mount on the front and sturdy ladder racks aft. Infact...

    Gobi rack experience

    I've had the Gobi since May... and had heard about delays in shipping and missing parts. I ordered mine in early May for Northridge 4x4... it was delivered a week later. Might not be the norm... but didn't have any issues there. Totally hear you on the hardtop. Took the top off by tilting...

    JK Unlimited Expedition Build

    Cool... got my lift from Dave as well... Northridge is great to work with. If your putting on yourself shoot me a PM if you have Q's... no expert here, but my mind is still fresh from learning the hardway on some items on the install. Nothing major, the instructions on AEVs website are pretty...

    JK Unlimited Expedition Build

    Just put the AEV 2.5 this last weekend... got a bit more lift than anticipated. However I haven't added the additional weight of bumpers, winch and rack. Before: After:

    Jeep open-top storage options

    I have a 2013 JKUR and I'm planning on going with ARIES security storage. Won't help you for the radio... but will give you a secure place to stow stuff. http://http://www.ariesautomotive.com/jeepwrangler.html

    New Jeep, Sport S or Rubicon?

    X2 I have a 2013 JKUR that was delivered last month... I would go with the rubi for the Tcase and 4.10 gears even if those were the only benefits. But as other pointed out you get the upgraded comfort stuff, and lockers and front swaybar disco's. All worth the price IMHO. Plus you have a...

    Your probably right in your assessment of what to expect... I was just happy I didn't have to fight for anything in the ordeal.

    My first JK, my first new vehicle and well my first lemon...

    Greetings fellow wrangler owners... New to the forum and to the wrangler crowd, but life long Jeep owner. I've always loved my Jeeps no matter what challenges they may have brought me in the past (probably really a sickness...). But, my 99' WJ was getting long in the tooth after many years of...

    wj jeep shud i buy one.

    Apologies... I fixed the link on my previous post. Just to be clear... the NV242 is the transfer case... not the transmission. "Reliable" is pretty relative term and varies from person to person. In my experience, most vehicle "reliability" vastly depends on the individual maintaining it. I...

    wj jeep shud i buy one.

    x2 on Iron Rock Offroad lift. Those guys are local to me and do pretty good work and have a good set of WJ lifts and accessories. As for the WJ itself... I'd love to have a diesel... but here in the states we don't have those options (unless you do a custom conversion). But I'd opt for the...
