Hi all, I have two SkyLux tents I’m looking to sell, no real issues with either of them. I have a gen1 SkyLux (the substantial Velcro straps, glossy black) that’s been used a dozen or so times, and a gen2 SkyLux Bantam (locking straps, matte textured black) that’s been used once. Both have...

Day 4: Pineapple Floats in Long PondDay 4: Running Moose & Pineapple Floats Our entire group slept in Sunday morning, a result of the late evening before and chilly air that lingered over our campsite in the shade of tall surrounding pines. By the time I got down from the tent Bob was situated...

Day 3: Allagash Mountain Views This post will be photo heavy. Sorry (or you’re welcome, depending on your take) in advance. I awoke around 2 AM to torrential rain pouring down, each drop making that soothing sound on the hardshell tent’s molded roof. By the time we got up the next morning the...

Sorry for the few weeks of silence here friends. It's with great frustration and disappointment that I type this from a new laptop. Last weekend while on a work trip in San Francisco with Dani, we took a lunch-time stroll through Golden Gate Park to visit the Japanese Gardens. We walked around...

Day 2 – Beyond Telos Checkpoint I woke up early the next morning to a thick fog encompassing our campsite. Grabbing my drone in hopes of capturing some of the eerie surroundings (picture tall pine tree silhouettes standing in stark contrast against the sun-lit haze) I headed out down a walking...

Day 1 - En Route to Katahdin Having packed the last of our gear into the Jeep the night before our departure, we had no reason to rush around the house the morning we left for Maine. With the temperatures climbing into the mid-80s and a good amount of humidity blanketed over Boston, we did a...

Trip Introduction First off, I’m a year overdue in writing this; that said, better late than never, so here we go. The North Maine Woods is an incredibly unique place consisting of more than 3.2 million acres of privately-owned land abundant with trees, rivers, and almost entirely undeveloped...

I'm back again after a bit of silence with modifications to the Jeep and trip reports. Needless to say, I finally got to work editing photos and beginning to write about our club's trip last summer through the remote wilderness of Northern Maine, so here I am to announce its documentation...

July '17: LED Reverse lights. I’ve always liked having an auxiliary set of reverse lights on the Wrangler, and though the factory ones on the WK2 are as impressive as the headlamps, I wanted something I could switch on at any time, and looked sleek. While I wish that I could have used more...

I feel bad for not having posted on here in a while, so I'm going to be going back and updating the rest of the mods that the Jeep is currently running! I'll leave a few days in between posts so that questions can be asked & answered if there are any! Thanks for following along guys!

Hey Leclerc. I'd guess 33" is the largest tire you're going to fit on a WK2 without SERIOUS modification/trimming beyond a simple RRO lift. Thanks for following along!

Custom Rear Deck / Dometic CFX-35 Installation One of the most integral additions of gear to the Trailhawk has been the Dometic CFX-35 fridge/freezer… I had hesitated at the cost initially but the value this thing brought to our trip as a whole cannot be conveyed. Once I had decided to purchase...

Had a chance to get the Trailhawk into the woods after this week's Nor'easter, as it was a prime time for a photo shoot. I used to take the Wrangler out for moments like this all the time but haven't as much with the WK2. Anyone else have photos from their rigs in this winter's snow? by...

Had a chance to get the Trailhawk into the woods after this week's Nor'easter, as it was a prime time for a photo shoot. I used to take the Wrangler out for moments like this all the time but haven't as much with the WK2. Since most of the posts are technical write-ups for the build, I thought...

Day 6 - August 1st, 2017 Waking early to a dreary sky, I was disappointed to see the tent had not handled the excessive amount of precipitation as well as I had hoped. As Dani rolled up the sleeping pad and bag, I prepped our gear inside the Jeep for us to quickly pack it up. We looked around...
