    Midwest Voyager - 04 WJ Grand Cherokee

    I’m in the process of building out my rig for travel and off-road mobility. I installed a 3.5” lift from rockyroad outfitters in Denver. It uses OME HD springs and a spacer combo. It came out higher than 3.5” but hoping after a bit of settling and heavy bumpers/tire carrier/winch that it will...

    RoamingTimber's Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

    How did everything work out with your suspension? Any death wobble issues to sort out after the lift? I just installed 3.5" lift with OME HD springs and 2" coil spacers. I took it in to get aligned and had a dw occur at 63mph. Also a lot of noise from my front driveshaft, after looking it over...

    Bedrack Electronics

    I’ve been working on my vehicle electrical/rack electrical for a few months now as time allows. Finally wrapped it up. I ran one circuit to the bedrack off my main breaker which feeds a series of sub circuits at my control box. The rack is connected to the truck power feed in the bed corner with...

    OB Members Kansas

    Hi all, I've been an infrequent traveler most of my life. 8-5 40hr work weeks just aren't super conducive for traveling. In Kansas, we are lucky to be within a days drive from so much diversity. Where I am located I am about 7 hours from the eastern interior of the rockies and about the same...

    Rio Grand Nat. Forest - South San Juan Wilderness

    @Neal A. Tew @NMBruce thanks for that. Not 100% sure on the exact dates but it will be summer. We picked that area because it’s not too far away from where we are in Kansas. We’ve explored up further north around Bonanza in the past, a friend has a cabin at bonanza that we stayed in. I think...

    To The Del Norte and Pagosa Springs members. My family and a few friends are planning a trip out to this area this summer. We plan to start out on forest roads at Horca, CO and run up the Cornejos. What are some good things to see in this area?

    Bed Rack

    That junction box will mount on the side of the rack up by the cab on the driver side. All power for anything added to the rack will run through it.

    Bed Rack

    Square pod lights. I’m definitely a budget buyer. Nilight is the brand, from Amazon. I’m tying into main battery for power with a waterproof connector at the front corner of the bed so it can come unhooked and the bed rack can lift off when needed very simply. Power is going to go into a...

    Thank you. I'm green to the world of extruded aluminum products but the fasteners and accessories can be found all over online, I like that I'm not stuck to the original manufacturer for parts and accessories. Things like rollers, hinges, latches, molding for the tchannels to cover wiring...

    Bed Rack

    This is my first purchase for building out my daily driver into our adventure rig. We are planning a trip to northern NM and southern CO, later this year so the process of getting our vehicle ready has begun. I'm very happy with this rack. It is rigid and strong but lightweight at the same time...
