I went to the BF Goodrich expo at Bridgeport Endeavor Adventure Park over the weekend. While there exploring the vendor tents and talking with friends, we discovered a huge sale on Alien Sunshades. The Jeep already has a full length black Alien, however I can’t keep it installed with the Bestop Trektop because of the […]

Rear Seat Delete
When riding on the trails it is very unlikely for us to have a rear seat passenger. And with the seats in and the spare inside the Jeep it is very difficult to stow things, even with the seats folded down. I decided to try something that I saw on one of the Poison Spyder […]
Let There Be Light
Why is it so hard to make a decision on good trail lights? I went back and forth with Vision X, Baja Designs, and Rigid Industries. The quality is on point with all three vendors, but I finally settled on Rigid Industries. The front bumper will be outfitted with two D-Series Midnight Edition pods along […]
Twin Viair 450C Install
I currently have an ARB single on-board air compressor mounted under the hood. I was using a Co2 bottle to fill my tires until I mounted my spare on the Expedition Industries Gatekeeper Tire Carrier, and thought it would be cool to put a 40 inch spare in every inch of usable space in the […]
GenRight is Alright
The Jeep has been running hot, so an effort has been made to find ways to improve airflow through the various coolers and the radiator. I have had my eye on the GenRight Low Profile bumper with winch guard for a while now. Finally! GR offered a deal for free shipping, so the cart was […]

Rockin’ the RockHard 4×4 Sport Cage
Had an opportunity to get a fantastic deal on the RockHard 4×4 JKU Sport Cage, so of course I took advantage. The cage is shipped bare steel with instructions to test fit before painting or powder coating. Of course I sent mine out for powder right when it came in – YOLO. TopKoat of Kennedale […]
Axle Shaft and Ball Joint Upgrades
The Jeep performed great on the trails each time we have taken it out. Since I have committed to building this as a well used trail rig, there are several items that need to be strengthened before we encounter a break. Jeep has a history of weak links and the axles are one of those […]
Artec Aluminum Belly Pan
While taking the Jeep on the last few off road adventures we noticed the bottom side of the Jeep was taking a real pounding. The only real solution to protect expensive components under there is a belly skid. I chose the Artec full aluminum belly skid and heavy duty crossmember. One of the reasons I […]
Rough Country Differential Skids
I decided that I wanted to be able to protect the differential housing with a skid plate of some sort. This topic has been debated ad nauseam with differing opinions from each person you speak with. Some say it is not needed. Some say it helps. I decided I wanted the protection. I went with […]
RGB Rock Lights
I figured I would jump into the world of rock lights. I ordered a set of 8 pod RGB rock lights with Bluetooth controller from Amazon. Each pod has a separate wire that had to be run from the pod location back under the hood and connect to the controller. The controller power is switched […]
