I found this on Amazon the other day. It looked similar to a stove one of the guys on TrailRecon on YouTube uses, except his is probably expensive. This is like $35. It folds flat for storage and easily would go under your seat. You can use anything for fuel, lump charcoal, briquettes, wood...

i guess we’ve finally decided to keep the motorhome and set the Rubicon uonfor Flat tow. Setup will be: Maximus - 3 tow loops (ordered) Blue Ox towbar ( already have) RVI III brake system (already have) RVI tow line charger ( left old one in my Honda, had to order a new one) I’m interested in...

I’m installing my OEM steel bumper tomorrow (hopefully). I see in the TrailRecon video that you need to install a couple of threaded inserts into the frame. Has anyone done this? I bought a few of them and they dont look like standard nutserts. They have flat edges that fit into the frame so...

I should be getting my bumper/lights/winch mods finished in the next week or so. I’m thinkng my next mod will be a Diabolical Slipstream. Last threads I had read indicated some fitment and finish issues with the product, especially when being used with a soft top. Has anyone received and...

i like trail recons YouTube channel. Lots of practical knowledge to be had there. His latest video about upgrades “I no longer have” was of interest to me. Two things he talked about was a dumping his hard wired CB, and his thoughts on an on-board tire airing system. I think it’s worth a look...

I’ve had my Rubi since December. I really had no firm plan of what I wanted to do to it. Reading thru the forums, watching YouTubes and seeing what people around me are doing to thier jeeps are giving me ideas and I’m changing it up as I go. So far I’ve installed Ace Rock Sliders and Quake RGB...

I got lucky with my rock slider repair. No broken body bolts. But I had several plans in mind in the event I did break one during removal. The first was to try to use an easy out from underneath to try to pull the broken end out. After actually pulling the bolt, I can see that would be quite...

I’ve only shifted into 4W-Low a few times. Trans in 4W Hi, rolling at 2-4 MPH, auto trans in neutral, pull back firmly from 4W Hi directly into 4W-Low, do not stop in neutral. Always makes a clunk, grind or bang. Same thing going back to 4W-Hi. Pretty much remember this was the same story in my...

From what I’ve read on this forum, hand held CBs have a range of several hundred yards, depending on conditions. Is that good enough for group trail riding? I’m really not interested in permenantly installing a CB and fixed antenna. A hand held vhf radio is another option, but I assume most...

Somewhere down my list of mods for my Rubi will be the OEM Aux switch install. Looks relatively easy although it requires pulling a lot of trim panels, passing wires thru the firewall, re-pinning a connector and finally either a reflash from the dealer to activate or use of a Tazer. I’m sure...

Any of you gear heads who change your own oil ever use one of these Fumato drain valves? Thinking of getting one for my first oil change. You can get them with a hose nipple so you can drain the oil directly into a jug for recycling. They also have an additional locking clip to ensure the valve...

Currntly have a Rubi with a plastic bumper and standard fog lights. I’m getting an OEM Steel bumper soon with LED fogs. I kinda like the look of amber fog lights (I’m not worried if white or amber color is actually better for fog or not). Are there amber LED replacement fog lights? I think I’ve...

Got my winch picked out. Now need the accessories. Think I’ll go with the Smittybuilt aluminum winch shackle. From there? Snatch strap Tow strap Snatch block Gloves Hitch Shackle Gloves tree strap D Ring Shackles. What else?

i did a headlight install over the weekend and it probably would have been easiest to just pull the front fenders off. But I did not have the appropriate rivets in my bag of fasteners. Just the standard reusable plastic fasteners. Are these 1/4 plastic rivets? I see a bag of 25 on amazon for...

I just installed Quake LED halos in my Rubicon. Pretty basic install, although getting to the turn signal wires was a bit of a PIA. It seems like a quality product, and everything appears to work normally. I may have to do an alignment. I did put one washer in each light to move the beam down...

Has anyone gone with larger tires/lift kits and then found they can’t get in their garage anymore? I was thinking 2” lift, 35” tires and a Gobi stealth roof rack down the line here. Then I realized my stock Rubi barely makes it Under my garage door with the Sunrider roof up.

im thinkng of getting a Gobi stealth roof rack one of these days. In several of the threads I’ve read people complained that the racks (and probably the stuff in the racks) degrade the Sirius XM reception. Has anyone relocated the antenna (it’s up on the crossbar on the roof) or bought an...

Spent the afternoon at Daytona today. Saw this guy taking in the sights. Gotta get one. In case you can’t see it well in the photo, the chair is suspended from his trailer hitch.
