    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Thanks! I only got the color because it was one of the last JKU's they had on the lot. There was a color that was like a blue/grey that I wanted but it was bone stock. The silver definitely grows on ya, couldn't be happier!

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    So I wired up my backup flood lights. I made a crude mount for them, of course I made it before realizing they actually make a mount that looks 10x better lol. They work great! I was going to put them on the rack, but I want a specific gland for the roof which was not in stock at the time...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm sure frontrunner would make it right. Unfortunately the rope around the front did not work to help the vibrations. I have to drive a lot in the next few days and I can't just sit around and wait for a company to send me a new part from California. I tried...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    So apparently the wonderful aerodynamics of a Jeep Wrangler paired with a very squared roof rack not only whistles down the road (I'm fine with that) but it sounds like a 747 landing on my roof. Around 60mph it goes away. Frontrunner states my kit should have come with some sort of wind...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Well it was a nice day out so I decided to get this Rack on the Jeep! It went together well and they do give you a bit of room for error on some of the mounts for the holes to line up right. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I did it by myself, I do not recommend this, an extra...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    I know the struggle. I'm currently getting out of my condo and in to a house. Had neighbors call the Condo HOA quite a few times while working on my Jeep in the past 10 years or so...I mean axle swaps are easy, come on!!

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Yea I understand that, but I saw in the instructions they recommend taking off the hardtop...I think thats so it's easier to drill through. If thats the case I'll just get a small ladder, I'm pretty confident I don't need to take off the whole top. Hopefully I can get this knocked out next week!

    Is it possible to put it on the Jeep without removing the hardtop? From what I can tell the mounts look like they can be put on with the hardtop still on. I could be wrong though.

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Hey guys, so I've been having a CRAZY last few weeks. Wife and I decided to put the condo up for sale, and try and buy a house all before our road trip in June! O_O Because why not? lol Anyway, we moved our stuff to a relatives house for now and decided that since I had some downtime, I will...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Thanks! So with TJ's and YJ's I always liked the out of place look of switches and things that added a little character to them. With a JK, the interior is just TOO NICE, so I want to keep it looking nice with a bunch of things that make people think its factory. Thats my goal at least lol.

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Well last week I had off a day, and it was a nice 60 degrees and sunny out! I decided it was time to get my ARB Air Compressor in the Jeep. I first started with the switch panel. I saw a YouTube video of a guy who had a similar setup right above the speaker vent and I thought it was a great...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    I was looking at that as well. I love the clean look but its waaaaaaaaay too pricey. I'd rather just do my own thing lol. It's like $1400 for the floor and the sides....Yea no I'm good lol.

    Thanks! What hinge is that on your tailgate and do you like it? I want to keep the rear bumper stock and no swing out tire gate, been looking at HD hunger, just don't know which to go with. I'm only going to a 35" Tire in the future.

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    I Haven't gotten that far yet. I'm thinking of getting 1/2" ply wood and using that as a base. I'm going to cut out a hole so I can still access the hidden compartment in the floor area. Then I'll Carpet the base. A guy on YouTube TrailRecon just had a video on how to do this so i might go...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    ARB Compressor made it in. Need to now wait for a good day to install this! I had one of these in my old TJ, worked great. I'm not going to get any tires above 35's in the future so this will do me well, especially since this is my Daily Driver. Also if I ever want lockers it has that hookup...

    My Willy is going Overlanding

    Well, yesterday was a nice day out, around 65 degrees here in MD...which is odd for this area this time of year but whatever. I went out and installed my Front Runner Tailgate Table and took advantage of the nice day. Came with 4 screws, but I'm probably going to get 4 more to really get this...
