    '24 4xe Rubicon X experience

    I traded my '20 JTR in on a new '24 4xe Rubicon X in October and have had a chance to do a trip in the 4xe, so figured I'd post my experience so far. TLDR: really good experience overall so far, almost comical power, no compromises off road, and the power box makes it a great off grid tool...

    Defender 130

    Just picked up a 130, trading in my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. The Rubicon was great, very rugged off road and could tow and haul what I needed, though right at it's limits. However, we just got a 2nd dog, my mother is moving next door, and with 2 kids getting close to their teens, we just needed...

    Camp stove ventless smoke filter

    As I camp in all weather and conditions, I sometimes need to cook under cover when the weather is bad (or really cold) and have to be careful about what I cook due to smoke. I figured I could put together a ventless smoke filter like what's used over household stoves, and picked up a small (but...

    New Jeep - Gladiator Rubicon

    Traded my JLUR in on this earlier this week, I wanted to be able to take a little more with me than my JLUR could muster, especially on family camping trips. So, if anyone has any questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer. It's pretty fully loaded, I think the only meaningful option...

    4 days in the NE winter with Cabelas Ultimate Alaknak tent

    tldr: vestibule was worth it, roof protector worked well, get the floor protector, get a tarp that fits the entire footprint, and don't get the 13x27 unless you have more than 6 people or are going to be in it for a long time. I few months ago I started planning a trip with 5 of my buddies...

    Crua Loj/Thermo Tent - insulated tent

    Hi all, did a search and didn't see much on this tent. I have a trip scheduled in Feb to go to the Poconos - a good friend of mine has 220 acres bordering around 7000 acres of PA game land we want to go and explore, so we need some lodging for a 4 day weekend. After a bunch of searching, we...

    Morryde Trail Kitchen

    This is a new product from Morryde designed (by jscherb who posts here in the Jeep section) for the jku but should fit anything with a large enough trunk; after some back and forth with morryde on dimensions, mounting etc. I ended up getting one for my jlur. Install wasn't too bad, they send a...

    2018 JLUR - First "expedition" in the new rig

    So probably not quite the same as what most of the expeditions here are as it was more camping than expo - but it was a 900 mile round trip and we were boondocking, plus there was some healthy off-roading mixed in. To boot, the Airstream is actually an Overlander (model), so we'll call it an...

    Looking at a series III 109 MoD FFR

    I'm close to buying a SIII 109 ex MOD FFR truck converted to 12V (mostly), RHD and at the very end of the line for a 109 ('84). It's very original with exception of the 12V conversion and inner fenders replaced (I think due to the holes cut in them for FFR duty). Only rust is at the very rear...
