    Any other WK2 Grand Cherokee builds out there

    The WK2 is very capable, it'd be cool to see it at work at Hollister sometime. I grew up wheeling at HH, but haven't been there in IDK, nearly 20 years. That's interesting about the horn-honk, is that something you could configure (honk at X psi) or was it just setup for one specific PSI? IDK...

    If you could start over...

    If I could get every $0.01 back out of my WJ and start over, I'd maaaaaaybe get a Diesel JLUR, or perhaps a JT, aka Gladiator (especially once the diesel is available). That's not an apples-to-apples thing, because just the stock vehicle would cost 2x my total investment in the WJ. The WJ has...

    Looking for suspension advice for a 2019 Jeep Rubicon

    I might be in the miniority, but I like bypasses and coilovers for Overlanding. My current WJ setup only has front c/o's, but at least that would allow me to level it for different load-outs if it was drastically uneven. The bypasses are huge in allowing for fine tuning for the weight and...

    Overlanding suspension?

    I still disagree - better is better. Every FSR I've ever been on has tons of "pot holes" and washboard sections. More, better-tuned suspension travel will make for a better ride and higher comfortable speeds, period. And I'm not talking about bombing FSRs at race-car speeds, tearing up the...

    Camp Site Tips and Tricks.

    I contacted them to see if they'll do WJ-specific ones. I already have some generic ones for the back doors that slide down over the whole upper door/window. If Skeeter Beater won't do a specific one for the WJ I'll just get one that should cover the whole sunroof for that. Great idea...

    Overlanding suspension?

    The OP said he's added over 1k lbs to his rig, before you add passengers, gear etc. So, with the stock suspension on it, it's going to sit more compressed - which means there is less up-travel available. Further, your spring and damping rates will not be matched to the weight it's carrying...

    Overlanding suspension?

    I totally disagree. You can start with a $130 ground tent like I'm doing and a good sleeping pad and sleep just as good as a $3-5k Roof Top Tent. However, suspension matters a TON for Overlanding. Just because a suspension setup is "fancy" or expensive, doesn't mean it's only beneficial in...

    Who has gone 4-link on their Ram 2500/3500 radius arm truck?

    Yes, Carli and Camburg are awesome, but their bolt-on stuff is all based on the stock radius arm design, like you pointed out. Camburg, however, does some wild custom stuff. Check them on out IG: Login • Instagram I'm sure they can build anything you want, full 3 or 4 link front end with...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Overlanding is whatever YOU make of it. If it's become elitist, it's because you're paying attention to the wrong people and buying into their hype about what you need. That said, if somebody has the funds and buys a turn-key rig like this or a brand new diesel rig and a brand new...

    DIY builds and maintenance. Who works on their own rigs?

    I suppose I'm well-suited to reply here. I did/do a lot of work on my rig and on my past race cars, off road toys, etc. If you skim through my thread you'll find lots of things I did myself and a TON lately I've been having done. I do stuff like the motor swap (and the t-set etc. on the OG...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    D'oh... very sorry to hear that on the fan clutch AND new radiator being trash - and perhaps costing you a motor. Perhaps it's time to order the radiator and e-fan setup I went with? Of course, mine isn't proven yet anyway since my project snowballed. I really would like to get it out and...
