2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU "Big Bear" Build

[ttephotos]

Well still working on the Alps photos. Had to push them back as I just hit Strata Florida Lane with the bugout wales guys again!

Snorkel and ARB Breathers were installed for this trip and I was more than relieved I spent the money and got them installed, with water up onto the hood or "bonnet" in some spots on the lane I am confident the Jeep would not have been able to do it without those bits of kit.

Some other shots from the trip!

^Tom is a member as well! Awesome guy, wish he could make the Nordkapp trip with me..

Two Trips up to the Peak District

I have been real busy! Sponsors on the horizon, 4-5 trips behind on posting here it has been wild! Had to replace the rear diff cover with the ARB upgrade recently as well! Trying to post some pictures of the adventures for y'all now!

Up to the Lake District!


I can now say after MUCH testing the Front Runner Wolf Boxes will not keep water out, even if they are in their canvas bag, even if you tape up the drain holes. They simply are not water tight a little always gets in, use them for interior storage and get some Aluboxes for the roof storage is the current plan!

Out to Snowdonia again!

Nice photos! I like the consistent editing. Where are you located? It surely doesn't look like South Carolina (from your plates).

Over in the UK had to use a buddies plates there for a little bit until my English ones came in! Some big stuff coming, lift and 35s, going to the alps for offroad tracks and then down to Pyrenees for the month of July instead of Norway. Going to get pretty crazy till years end!
