    Hopefully Lost... 2015 JKUR beginner build with mostly used parts

    Flooding posts today while I have time, but here are a few pics of the Jeep in action yesterday. Deep in the woods and creekbeds of WV with no bypasses and no way out, I was defnitely in over my head on this trail...Especially without anyone there to pull me out should I have gotten stuck. 3-4...

    Solar, on board power and charging systems have been a big focus of reading and research lately. A DIY system seemed the only way to do it well while still saving some money. My Jeep needed a new battery recently, and I settled on a NAPA (East Penn Rebranded) AGM for my starting battery. My jeep...

    I am a novice in the off-road world. Especially on four wheels. On motorcycles, I occasionally found myself in over my head but overall I kept my adventures fun... but manageable. My skill level and temperament off-road need significant improvement and I also need to practice self-reliant...

    Thank you! It's been a challenge and learning experience that continues to this day. This morning in fact lol The parts availability on the used market has been great! They are pretty specific parts, but it doesn't sound like either of us needs the competition... although it might save us from...

    Now, with storage system and fridge slide / kitchen setup in place... I definitely wanted a fridge. Do I need a fridge? Probably not. Do I want to pay a grand for a fridge? Definitely not. Do I spend too much time searching for gear on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, forums and elsewhere...

    Overland builds are everywhere these days, and people come up with the most clever ideas. Probably the single most fascinating thing that always draws my attention are rear cargo kitchen / storage solutions that people have come up with. I can be very disorganized when traveling by car, this is...

    As mentioned previously, the inspiration for this build was the Mainline Overland build from many years ago here on Expedition Portal. I've always loved the old white on white Land Rover Defenders, and the Mainline Overland JKU build stuck in my mind as a really cool modern interpretation of an...

    Great minds think alike... most of what is posted here occurred over the last year or so. The plastidip idea came to me last fall and I went for it. I’ll throw up a quick post on that soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... I always roll my eyes when my friend says this. Probably because he says it all too often even though he's frequently pouring on a cure after he overlooked prevention. I'm not much of a planner, as evidenced by two stickers on the back glass of...

    Thank you! Love the Ursa Minor top you've got on your JK, I've lusted after those for a very long time.

    The weight of the Toyo 35's definitely seemed heavy for the OEM tailgate hinges. The search was on for a solution... maybe just a tire carrier, or perhaps a bumper/carrier combo. I looked at them all and every option available for most of them. While some were more versatile in theory or just...

    I was torn over the big expense of lift, wheels and tires. Almost resigned that I wouldn't be able to find the wheels I wanted used, I nearly pulled the trigger on a set of new Mopar Winter Wheels and wheel spacers like what was used in the Main Line Overland JKU build. I liked those, but I...
