Super excited that I won an RTT from 23Zero USA can't wait for it to arrive.
Next weekend I plan on making a new flat rack for my jeep to be able to mount the tent.
Also selling my front bumper to get an hkoffroad hidden winch mount and gonna make my own custom bumper around that.
Pics to come soon!

Me and my buddy joined at the same time. We live over 1000 miles apart so we came up with a way to make it so we were always on overland adventures with each other.





Also welder let me down so i went and bought a welder and im gonna learn to weld so i can get this shit done before i go on leave soon lol



Heres a quick layout of the rack.

I have no idea what that is. Jet engine for propulsion in really low traction situations? Exhaust tip that makes it sound like something out of Top Gun? Flux capacitor 3.0?
lol - thats exactly what I was thinking. Small jet engine was first thought. Inline filter is way more boring than a flux capacitor. Love what you have done to your Jeep though @timberwolf_120

Alright got the rack knocked out!!
Still need to hit the whole thing with a flap disc to sand everything smooth, shape the lightbar brackets and then clean it with acetone and then bedline it.
Should be on the jeep by next weekend.

Anyways enough yacking, i know yall are here just for the pics lol


Tacking the rack onto the feet


Checking level


All feet tacked in


Rack sitting on the jeep.
Roughly 1" from the roof in the middle

Driver side and the feet


Passengwr side and feet


Lightbar tabs all welded on (passenger front)


Lightbar tabs (front)


Lightbar tabs (driver side)


Lightbar tabs (rear)


Tent resting on the rack, front just barely enough space for my lightbars lol


Back side with tent on, also just barely enough space.

Anyways hope yall like it. I love it and cant wait to get it done.

Got a lil break from the new little one to mess around with the jeep some more. Finally relocated my cb into the center console


Made a lil box for my amp since its too damn big to fit any other place and 99% of the time the only person that will sit in my back seat is my 3 year old.


I've got a 1,000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter (about the size of your amp) that I've been trying to figure out where to mount. I love the 3 sided box idea!

Nice build. Just went through all the pages.. Did you ever get your idle issue and death wobble sorted out? My buddy had the same idle and stalling issue. He ended up replacing the PCM and it solved his problems.

Thanks Scott!

Yea even more so when you have your little ones in the car and it hits randomly. Pretty scary stuff.
