Mine is on it's way. I need to decide if I should put it on the GC, or the JKU. Once I have that sorted out, I'll probably struggle over where to actually place it.

Lol, eventually my wife is going to bury me in my Wrangler after she kills me for spending so much money on it. I haven't even talked to her yet about putting a lift on our Grand Cherokee.

I often have people ask me for help with their camera because they think it's defective and doesn't take nice pictures. I agree the camera doesn't matter. You have to have some knowledge. I take the camera off auto and usually shoot manual or Aperture priority. Take some pics and show them. They...

I've been following a Gobi thread on a Jeep forum. No one seems to be complaining. I think your right. I don't know what lift the guy had, what rack it was, how it was installed, what he had on top, etc. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the Renegade rack. I see JKU's with RTT's and no...

That's kind of the plan. Just put tents, chairs, equipment, etc. on top till we get to our destination. Take it all down, set up camp and then head out to explore. A guy at work today said a friend who owns a Jeep had a rack on his for about a week. He claimed that when passing semi's on the...

I'll add mine to the list. 07' JKU. Always a "mod" in progress. I have a long way to go.

Great images and trip reports. Someday I'll make it up there. My first trip to Canada though will be to "Dog River". Anyway, how do you like driving with the roof rack and RTT? I'm curious because I'm considering adding a rack so I can put some low profile gear up there. But I've heard people...

Wow that's cool. I'll have to do some research. I'm staying DX since I don't plan to photograph professionally anymore. I've been trolling Ebay buying used Nikon lenses. I'll have to look at the Sigma offerings and head over to DPReview to see what their reviews say. Thanks for the info.

I tried Sigma in the past and was disappointed. I expected more from their 2.8 lenses. Seemed like they were always searching in low light. Have they improved in quality? I've been out of the game for about 4 years now so I'm a little behind on what's new. lol

I used to photograph professionally and sold all my gear when I closed my studio in Davenport in 2011. The economy really hit us hard and I left the profession and went back into manufacturing. I miss my Nikon D3. What a phenomenal camera and all my f2.8 lenses. Recently I've been dabbling in...

I know my post is a little late but I love Traverse City. I live in Iowa but spent some time in junior high and high school living in Traverse City. Last couple summers I convinced my wife to take vacations with me up to TC. After TC we went to Mackinaw Island, then spent some time in the UP...

Great write up. I always carry a fire extinguisher in my JKU. I should probably get one for the GC as well just to have.

I have very limited storage space in my JKU when the wife and I take the kids on road trips. A M101 is in the future someday down the road. Anyway, I was looking at this Renegade Rack. I want to be able to put low profile gear on top such as tents, chairs, etc. I've heard good and bad about...

Great trip report. And happy anniversary!

My cousin lives in Oregon and has been building his Jeep for over 20 years. He goes to Jeep Jamborees quite often. There are some impressive vehicles that show up. However, he said a couple, around the age of 75 went a couple years ago in a completely stock Jeep. They made it the whole way. Not...

Great video. Puts things into perspective. I need to spend less time worrying about the next "mod" for my rig, and keep getting out to explore within it's limitations.

Yup. Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. lol. In regards to your other post, I was going to take a trip to Colorado with a Jeep group but decided the wife and I will go on our own and explore. Every time I meet up with them, If you don't have a 6" lift and overly large tires, they don't...

Truth be told, if I could afford an LR3, I'd have one in a heartbeat. Just waaay out of my price range. Jeeps are fun though. I've only had mine a couple years and I'm not much of a gearhead. But the great thing is, Jeeps are easy to learn on. Even in my 40's. It definitely is the most...

Amen to that. Other forums I belong to, some guy who drives a Toyota will come into the Jeep section and start a bunch of crap. I love my Jeeps but I also like seeing and hearing about what other people drive. There are a lot of nice rigs out there of all varieties. Besides, the vehicle is only...

I belong to a couple Jeep clubs here in the Eastern side of Iowa. I have a Wrangler, but my DD is a Grand Cherokee. I love them both. And your right about the clubs around here. Everyone wants to go rock crawling. My build is modest, 3" lift and 33's. Eventually going to 35's. Anyway, I'm an...
