    Socks

    I work in the construction industry so I'm wearing boots everyday and used to wear out socks very fast. For some reason I'd end up blowing out the big toe and wearing out the heal in just a few months. A friend got me a couple pairs of Darn Toughs maybe 5 years ago. I still have those plus about...

    Wrangler top choice?

    Soft top all of the time. San Francisco doesn't have a summmer but as soon as I cross a bridge I want the top off.

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    Grizzly's aren't around here, but we've seen quite a few black bears camping in the Sierra's and up along the north coast. Last fall I was with my teen daughter in a ground tent, heard a weird scraping noise early in the morning. Stuck my head out of the zipper and there was a little black bear...

    Reducing the bulk - weekend camping

    I went from solo bicycle camping to family (2 adults, 13y/o daughter, and a Welsh Terrier) camping in a 2 door JK. We spent 12 days earlier this year exploring the lost coast and PNW. Key is definetly using lightweight backpacking gear and packing gear in lots of soft bags so they can be stuffed...

    JK/JKU Parking/Emergency Brake-National Highway Traffic Safety Admin

    Mine has never never worked all that well. I have a manual and happen to live on one of the steeper streets in San Francisco. I do make sure the wheels are curbed though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camp Champ - Full Kitchen in a box

    I like having everything in one self contained box and I appreciate the craftsmanship. Cost alone puts it off the radar, not to mention how heavy and bulky something like that would be. I can't imagine lifting a full kitchen out of my vehicle, carrying it over to it's new location and setting it...

    Food For Thought | Be Proud Of Your Jeep Purchase

    ....or buy a rubi and drive it as it is. If your feeling really frisky, put a winch plate and winch on it. I love my JK, but I prefer my wife Range Rover when we're driving any distance. Having conversations on the freeway without shouting is kind of nice.

    Camp chair for packing into a suitcase?

    I'll second the Kermit chair. Very popular with the motorcycle touring crowd because of how small they pack. Use without the leg extensions when relaxing around the camp site. Pop on the extensions and you have a comfortable near full size chair for sitting at a table. I keep two in the back of...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I keep hoping for something similar to the J180 scaled down for the 2 door.

    Jeep Eye Candy

    Just my opinion. I think market saturation and pricing keeps the CC in a $50k and up market. There are a lot of crew cab trucks in that price range that are more refined and have much higher towing and cargo capacities than a JKU based truck. Currently, the Cherokee is Jeeps sales leader. It...

    Jeep Eye Candy

    The Comanchee has probably the best chance of actually hitting the market, and if so would likely sell well. Figure pricing similar to the Renegade $18K - $25k and I think it would be a huge hit. The others are definitely drool worthy but I doubt we'll see a factory built Crew Chief. Prices...

    AEV Brute: The Ultimate Overlander?

    I'll stick with my two door. I hate extra space. Next thing you know people expect rides and then they start asking you to move things for them. Brute as the ultimate? I guess it depends on the list and if AEV plans to make no more.

    I have a '12 JK in San Francisco, no sub. I live and work in the city. If you're down around here ever you're free to use it.
