By the way:
This was the final solution, without drawes, but with airline rails instead.
Fitted all my needs as daily / hunting car.
And was a good solution for overland storage too.
Not as quite as comfortable as a drawer, but more than okay.

This are solutions I am looking for. As we are new to overlanding, we are figurring out how to store stuff at the moment.
This helps, as it was also my idea to just use a base plate, and no more side walls as in my first build, to gain more space.
We put a Bawarrion 2" trailer hitch on it. Combined with a capable hitch insert.
It's a German specific thing.. someone tested it and certified that it will be okay, if the so called "D-Wert" is high enough.
The 4 door will increase from 5000lbs to 7000lbs with those combinations.
To be...
In Germany.. two doors have a max towing capacity about 3000lbs... just regulated due to CO2 label...
You can increase to 5000 lbs towing capacity by using a certified towing hook. So I think you shouldn't worry about :-) The car definitely is capable to tow those lbs .
Hi vogts,

My girlfriend and I now wonder how to set up perfectly for overlanding. In Germany or Centraleurope this doesn't mean heavy trails... highways, some moderate wood trails or an alp...

- rail pressure sensor
- pcm
Nothing changed.. I now wait what Jeep tells us to replace next.....
Hi Tobias,
Great mods and photos. I have the same Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (2-door, Granite Crystal) and leave in Cyprus. So my Jeep came with the EU plastic rear bumper with the number plate at the center, same as yours. I am searching for a suitable receiver hitch like the one you fitted. Can you...
Swaybar was still working, but leaking due to damaged metal sealing. Not avaible standing alone.. just whole sway bar.. warranty paid for it.
My car get's a cleaning twice a month, plus additional cleaning after every hunting trip. The seats get a lot of care.. and it is not that the seats faux...
I work at a Jeep dealership in Germany, and so I could get a JLR for a reasonable price in 2020. BUT, to be honest.. after 15 months of ownership and a lot of trouble with the car.... I wouldn't buy a Diesel Rubicon again...
The reasons are simple:
No more diesel because of the odd DEF...
Hi,
until now, there aren't any problems with the doors, while the bonnet and the rear gate are starting to build bubbles around the hinges.
So, yes.. I think this method works Well, and I soon have to take care of the other hinges I didn't replace yet.
