Nice pics Bob Freda.
I'm liking your tablet positioning on the dash, have been wondering where to put mine (no jokes) and your pic has helped me out, thanks for posting!

Yes me too. How did you mount it?

I don't have any really great wheeling shots from this trip but I definitely put some stripes on the belly skid. We did 65 miles in 4lo and 650 on the highway in 4 days. 18.2 mpg loaded with two adults and two kids. Roof rack, no front spoiler and a/t's. The great thing about the V8 wk is it has the power to pass trucks on the big mountain passes like wolf creek, red mtn, monarch pass with the a/c blasting and loaded to the max. Love this jeep. I would trade it for a 2010 hemi overland. That's about it. I lust after a new JK rubicon but overall I think the WK is a better package for mild off roading and lots of highway miles. Great winter vehicle too.

This was Bodie…I loved him very much. The new Jeep is called Bodie 1701-A.

We'll I know that I'm never going to return it to stock condition, so I screwed to ram ball directly into the dash ( but positioned the screws into a seam ) it's really solidly mounted with no shake.

Excellent, thanks for sharing.
I got my CRD WK a year and a half ago. The WK is a great road/off-road platform. The only thing I have added is a GDE Eco tune and 4XGuard front tow hooks.
I have been able to keep up with modified Wranglers on 35's on most of the trails. I'm running street tires at stock height.
I am very happy with the WK. My only issue, as stated before, is the lack of "proper" cargo space. Is ok for one person or two, but when I take my children with me is harder to make everything that we need fit in a useful matter.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't think twice to drive all the way down to Tierra Del Fuego in a WK!
Edit: I have included a few pictures running stock with 31.5" Cooper Discoverer AT3.
