    1999 Jeep WJ wannabe overlander

    For weeks.......no....months! I have maybe put 15 miles on the ‘ol WJ. I haven’t given up on her. Just haven’t had any time to go camping with my new job keeping me extra busy. I have done a couple upgrades in the last few months though. I sold the RTT and opted to use the awning and...

    I don’t suppose you happen to take progress shots of the bumper build? I really like it, simple and clean and I like that you were able to keep the factory cover on.

    Auto maker customer service. Have you had great experiences?

    I worked for FCA, Daimler, Chrysler or whoever happens to own them this year for 25 years as a auto technician. I recently left the dealer world just over a year ago (and have never been happier in my career than I am now!!). Anyhow. I’ve never been on this side of the spectrum being only a...

    2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport Build

    Is that the sport with max tow package? I’m hopefully going to be in the market for a gladiator soon. I definitely don’t want to pay the HUGE Rubicon price. The overlander model is....say...cute with bells and whistles but too much junk screwed onto it that I would most likely be upgrading...

    RoamingTimber's Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ

    Bringing an old thread up to hopefully get pictures of your swing out tire carrier. The pics in this thread unfortunately have the photo bucket signature going across all of them and difficult to get a idea of how you built it. From the write up and how you kept the stock bumper cover on I’m...

    ARB awning and ARB awning room review

    I picked up the same mounts as you have. My problem is I’m 6’4”, like Motoboss said, the awning room require awning height to be 6ft to fully extend the walls. It’s all good, only disappointment is the room piping edge tearing the material.
