I was wondering if anyone else picked up on that.

Oh, and it did have a few last hurrahs, like this fun video we did with Canon on their new speedlites. (note: yes, we had a permit to drive the Jeep into the lake)

See video #5. Sorry in advance that you have to see me wearing a suite.

Pretty fun. I like the shot of you smiling as you pull the winch line out in the lake, wearing the monkey suit

This JKU reminds me of the one that was used in 4whlr mags 4 part mexico to canada overland series.. Same one???

 

[406to417]

Yes it is the same one.

As for the wheel switch AEV may of asked them to do it for the TV show or they may of just liked that design better but they had any issues with the steel wheels.

Many? or did they have any issues? Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[mikeg1713]

Yeah, we're there issues? I'm running them on my 12.

 

[406to417]

I meant to say I doubt they had any issues.

 

[mikeg1713]

cool.. i really like them and was going to be pissed off if they were crap... lol

I am watching Dangerous Drives AGAIN (love the DVR). It was televised winter 2010 and I noticed the JK Overland Project had black Saverge wheels on them at that time as well. I believe it was a matter of preference for the show since they were testing AEV products.

Yes, steel wheels are more durable but heavier and that particular set requires spacers. More unsprung weight; more pieces to fail compared to alloy

We will add another layer and create the option for sleeping inside. Fridge, fuel storage, additional water storage and storage for recovery equipment.[/QUOTE]

Scott, did you build the floor yourself or is it an off-the-shelf model?

 

[mikeg1713]

I was told the floor was wood.
