Congratulations, Tom. This looks like a great trip!
I mounted our RTT to a trailer this summer and we love everything about. At a certain age, the novelty of crawling down a ladder in the middle of the night to pee starts to lose its appeal...
Nope, no such thing on my little 2-dr. I will say that my trailer is small and light. I'm quite attentive to GVWR, tongue load, etc, and use a spreadsheet to track everything so I don't go overweight.
My trailer is off having some welded modifications made to it. When it gets back I'll...
That's crazy. I have a 2020 JL Sport S with manual transmission, and I ordered it right from the factory with the towing package.
I guess at this point you have no choice but to install an aftermarket harness and splice it into your Jeep's factory wiring, but I'm not buying what you were...
They are the Precision Fit version, I believe. They have a very thin foam-like backing and were more expensive than the basic ones. It's been long enough ago that I don't remember for sure, but Precision Fit sounds right.
Equally no offense meant, but stubby bumpers always remind me of a fat wife wearing a really too short dress or a muffin top. Good taste is just in the eye of the beholder, OP, so buy the bumper you like.
My MaxTrax boards arrived, and I had the opportunity to mount them on the Thule Wingbar Evo rack today. After considering all my options and not really liking any of them, I observed that the length of the threaded part of the MT mounting pins would perfectly extend right through the Thule wing...
I was curious about my curb weight, so I weighed my 2020 JL 2-door Sport S. Luckily there is a concrete recycler next door to where I work and they didn't mind weighing me up.
My rear seat is permanently removed from the vehicle, and in addition to me, the only things in/on the Jeep were:
-...
Wow, thank you @DadJokes and @Overland_Texas !
I don't actually have my MaxTrax boards yet, so it hadn't occurred to me that they might be practically stored inside. I like that for security too.
And I will definitely check out your solutions, Overland_Texas.
Thanks again!
Myron
I have a pair of MaxTrax recovery boards on order and would like to mount them on my Thule Wing Bar Evo using the MaxTrax mounting pins. MaxTrax says this won't work, but I'm thinking it might be possible to modify the mounting pins to work.
I don't imagine there are too many people who...
I have the same WeatherTech and it works great. I left the cutout in place for the subwoofer (ie, didn't cut it out) and it doesn't make a difference to the stereo's sound at all. I did cut little slits for the luggage tie-downs, which makes them available for use and also secures the mat and...
I use a WeatherTech floor mat in the back of mine and just put it right on top of the subwoofer without cutting out a hole for it. I figure it's a subwoofer, not a tweeter or mid-range, so what difference could it make? Turns out it makes zero difference, and I like knowing that it's...
I just went out to the garage and checked mine. It's a lock-n-roll brand too. Honestly, it couldn't be simpler to hitch it up. I've been super pleased with mine in the 12-ish years I've owned it, and another advantage over a conventional hitch ball is that it's much quieter.
I use the same one ChevyMitchell uses. Can't remember what it's called though. I bought it in 2008 for my Land Rover trailer, and now use it for the Jeep.
Hi Brian,
Thanks! It was a fun project. And now I just have to hurry up and wait for my RTT to arrive, an AutoHome Columbus. Because I want to be able to lower the RTT directly down onto my trailer (most likely setup) or my Jeep (2nd option), I think I'll be replacing the wire basket with...
I got my Fleximount installed today and I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality. I ordered it from Amazon, and FedEx delivery was included. It was on my porch just a few days later and I installed it the same day. Installation instructions are very clear, and the process took me...
I have the Overland Outfitters bags and like them. There is a thread on this topic where you can see pics of mine over on the Interior Mods forum.

I have a friend with a TJ. The soft top had worn thin where it stretched over the back bar. He ran a length of Gorilla brand rubber sealing tape down it and it did the trick. This is not the ordinary Gorilla Tape; it's an actual thin rubber membrane with some kind of super duper adhesive that...
