It's most definitely not for everyone and I fully understand why some people wouldn't want to use it. I tried to emphasize the safety aspect the best I could in the video for those who do wish to give it a try.
In the end, I think the Anchor System Flip talks about is a really good solution to...
Thanks brother for the awesome feedback! Regarding the Transfer Case, I just put it in neutral so there is less resistance on the winch. The difference is probably minimal, but it's just something I always do.
The whole intent of the video was to help people out and I think your idea...
I made this video mainly for us in the Jeep community.
This is a great setup for getting unstuck and I've had really good luck with it. The stake doesn't always work, but when it does it is invaluable.
Just wanted to give some of you a different option when looking at a winch setup and etc.
I've been driving exclusively Jeeps for a very long time now and I was "ducked" for the first time about 4 months ago. Normally I would have thought stuff like that was stupid, but I have to admit it made me feel good. Don't know why, but it did. Just being honest.
Your a lucky man, that's really cool your wife is into this sort of stuff.
Check out my channel when you guys have some free time, I have a lot of similar type videos you might enjoy watching. This one was sort of an experiment to blend some jeep stuff with treasure hunting stuff. I wanted to...
I make treasure hunting YouTube videos for fun and my Jeep is part of every adventure. I wanted to make a video with more trail footage, so I could blend the two together and show off how amazing our Jeeps truly are.
This is the video. I hope you enjoy.
I live in a very dusty part of the country and if I was to drive around with the top off the interior of the Jeep quickly begins to look like the Sahara. God forbid you get an afternoon thunderstorm, then the interior turns from a dust bowl into a mud pit.
This is why leaving the top off and...
This reminds me of one of the "hold my beer, I got an idea" schemes my brother and I come up. They usually end badly.
Please do not do this, very bad idea. Just tie off your kayak to the hooks on the front bumper, problem solved.
You are correct and that is why they don't recommend it, be very careful if you do go this route. In the above picture with the red Jeep just imagine all the pressure being built up in the cavity where you set, while cruising down the highway. This pressure is creating thrust trying to push...
Congrats to all of you on your new Gobi Jeeps.
Besides StingGray, I believe Gobi is the best color Jeep has ever came out with. Truly a stunning color and I'm very happy they brought it back.
I wouldn't trust it either while cruising down the interstate, perhaps for a few minutes, but that's about it. I guess if you bought extra straps and did a really good job securing it, you'd probably be fine.
When I did my test run on the hwy, I had some lady riding my a**. All I could...
Thanks and I'm glad you found the video helpful.
I also wish they designed it with a drop-down hinge, but for me its not a big deal. I only do day trips, so once I arrive at my destination and remove the kayak, the rack is relatively light and can be removed in about 10 seconds if I need to...
I posted this in the General Discussion thread just so it might get some traction, but I also wanted to make sure it found a home in the 2 door thread. I believe videos like this are helpful for those of us who only drive 2 door Jeeps and they help prove you don't need a 4 door and 2 doors are...
