  1. Hitchmount Rack - 1.5 year review

    I'd ordered mine from Fortec4x4, looks like they've still got it there though the price has increased: https://www.fortec4x4.com/products/hitchmount-rack-for-canoes?variant=1650976358425
  2. Let's Talk Outdoor Camping Tips, Tricks, Hacks

    GREAT point on needing to be willing to bail early with kids if things aren't going well. We did this two trips in a row early on not because things were going poorly, but because she just didn't have multi-day trips in her yet because all of the hiking and stuff tuckered her out, so she wasn't...
  3. Let's Talk Outdoor Camping Tips, Tricks, Hacks

    Way late to the party on this, and some of it is very fundamental, but I try not to take the fundamentals for granted when someone may read these things just getting into it and not know what's fundamental until they've learned the hard way: Always pre-chill ice chests. Freeze some (not all)...
  4. Hitchmount Rack - 1.5 year review

    Veteran-owned small business that I believe does all the manufacturing in-house. Mission Systems LLC from what my digging pulls up. https://www.hitchmount-rack.com/
  5. Jeep Dog pics

    HAHAHA, thankfully no. The rock that caused it scared the hell out of him, but didn't deter him from riding like that in the future.
  6. Jeep Dog pics

    My old pup loved going for rides, sun or snow. This was his default riding position, snoot up against the glass or out the window. This was his very last ride, took him to the park so he could be grumpy at ducks. He crossed the rainbow bridge just a few hours later. I miss his goofy self...
  7. Hitchmount Rack - 1.5 year review

    Hey everyone, as a 2-door/soft top owner that struggled to find a way to haul toys around, I wanted to share my experiences with the hitchmount rack after using it for about a year and a half now with many miles logged on both highway and bumpy terrain. I opted for this rack because I didn't...
  8. Should I sell my 65 Mustang for jeep parts?

    Sell the jeep to fund the mustang's restoration ;)
  9. 2-door Soft top window rattling/slapping in high winds

    Very normal, I experience the same thing in West Texas.
  10. Is social media based Overlanding finally dying?

    I see the trends as a good thing. Brings a ton of new people into a hobby that may never have tried it otherwise, and some of them may even stick with it and find a lifelong pursuit. More broadly, these trends bring a new flush of cash into a relatively niche industry which provides more R&D...
  11. Jeep Camping: How Do You Cook?

    Real men follow burn-ban rules! Used to have a scottle, sold it. Big, heavy, pain in the ass to clean at camp. Now I use a Jetboil zip for me, or if kid is with me I use that for coffee and cook on a Jetboil halfgen which has been excellent.
  12. We need a new backpacking tent - any suggestions?

    If you use trekking poles, check out the Durston Xmid tents. That brand has blown up lately, is reasonably priced, and the guy that runs it seems like a good dude and is very active in the backpacking community taking feedback to inform product changes. The first pitch is a little awkward but...
  13. PSA - Kodiac Canvas Flex-Bow tent fits!

    Hey all, I almost posted this in camping and overlanding, but since this is specific to the two-door I figured I'd try here first.. Can move if needbe. I wanted to put it out into the universe that a 10x10 kodiak canvas flex-bow tent fits perfectly in the cargo area of a 2-door JL with the...
  14. Has your 3.6L been trouble free?

    2020 JL Sport, about 35k miles on it with no engine issues at all.
  15. What's your favorite camp stove?

    Picked up a jetboil halfgen to go with my jetboil zip. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but will take it on a camping trip later this month. The zip has been amazing for me, love the all-in-one utility in such a small package. Unfortunately my little one isn't big on freeze-dried meals so...
  16. Has anyone here purchased a bright color and later regretted it being so attention getting/visible? I’d like to hear more from you

    I don't regret my yella at all. At minimum, it makes it really easy to find in a parking lot, and it makes me smile daily. Brighten up the world a bit! So many things are all going different shades of gray and brown, it's depressing.
  17. Parked with a manual transmission.

    I honestly don’t think the age group that would most likely do such a thing has enough knowledge of manuals to do what you’re saying.
  18. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    Nah, Jeeps can go through water right??? Unrelated, but my cheap quality Jeep died on me at the lake. Wouldn’t start at all after we got it out of the water. Unacceptable! They don’t make ā€˜em like they used to!:LOL:
  19. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    Loaded it up and went on an adventure!
  20. HELLA YELLA Wrangler JL Club

    Mine is ready for summer fun!
