    2012+ Wrangler Laptop Mount?

    Does no one make a decent laptop mount for the 2012+ Wranglers? RAM makes an awesome base for the 2007-2011 Wranglers, but it's apparently not compatible with the newer models. RAM '07-'11 base floor plate - http://rammount.com/part/RAM-VB-170 Is there anything else out there? I'm actually...

    Replace Rear-Window Glass with Non-Transparent Material? Legal or Not?

    I know some vehicles like vans come from the factory without rear windows, but does anyone know of any state laws regarding replacing the rear glass with metal or fiberglass?

    Where are the actual High-Def In-Car Camera Systems?

    I see a whole bunch of Chinese crap all over Amazon and elsewhere that advertise high-def cameras for backup purposes and whatnot. I'm trying to find a good multiple camera system that is truly high def (not grainy). I want to mount a monitor in the cab and have enough resolution to replace the...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Active - Pretty Rugged

    The wife and I both just got this phone yesterday. So far, we like it. I hated the "soft" touch buttons on the Galaxy S5 and S6/S6 Edge. This one gives you hard buttons on the front. The whole phone just feels solid. I hope the Active lineup continues. Here's a pretty decent review I came...

    Metal Rear Window?

    Has anyone replaced the rear flip up/down window with a metal one? The reason I'm asking is because I'm planning on replacing my hard top with a Ursa Minor J30 toip and not getting side windows in it. Then, I could replace the rear glass flip window with a sheet of metal and create a cage behind...

    Does Anyone Make a "Drillable" Cargo Floor?

    Does anyone make a clean floor maybe out of wood that mounts in the back of the Wranglers? I've seen people use plywood and cut it to fit and then bolt it down somehow in the back. I can't believe I haven't seen a company that has CNC'd a direct bolt in solution. This would allow someone to...

    Wrangler JK - If I wanted to perform my own maintenance/repairs, what would I need?

    I've been looking for an OEM Service/Repair Manual for the JK (NOT Haynes and the other one). I've been able to find the OEM manual on a disc for about $140, but not a printed version.

    Not sure if this has been posted here, but pretty interesting if you would like to empty $3k+ from your pocket: http://alpine-usa.com/product/view/x009-wra

    High-Beam Triggered Relay Behavior w/PWM CANBUS System?

    I have read numerous online threads of people complaining about relays wired into the high-beam wires in the 2012+ JK Wranglers. From what I understand, the PWM pulses the electrical current to things in the vehicle instead of allowing direct/full current to flow. Does the chatter come from PWM...

    Those of you with Limb Risers and HAM antennas

    Pretty much, I'm curious as to where you placed your HAM antennas on your Jeeps if you have limb risers installed. I haven't found any non-steel limb risers. Pretty much (2) main problems with placing the antenna on the edge of the hood with steel limb risers (most popular HAM antenna placement)...

    Getting A Motorcycle Motorcycle Might Save Me Money...

    To start off, I have 30k+ miles experience on a sport bike (CBR600RR). Long story short, I spend about $550/month on a downtown parking spot + gas. This doesn't even include wear and tear on my Jeep. If I were to ride in, I get free parking, cheaper gas costs, and instant FREE access to all HOV...

    Getting Quotes for Powdercoating

    I am getting the Rock Hard Sports cage (bolt-on roll cage) for my Wrangler JKU. It comes unfinished. Just called my first place for a powdercoat request and they pitched me $300 for black powdercoat. Does that sound about right? I was thinking more of around $150... This might be a fair price. I...

    Saw this FJ plow through a car in Fairfax, VA (He had an ARB front Bumper)

    The occupant(s) from the car were ambulanced away fairly quickly. I couldn't see any major (or even minor for that matter) damage to his FJ. I hope the people in the car are OK. That place is bad for traffic. One lane will be stopped while another will be moving pretty fast. Add in someone...

    Operation OverlanderZ - Lysol's 2014 JKUR Build

    I've been wanting to start a build journal for a while now, but I figured I would wait until I got my plans figured out. I originally wanted a JKUR in "Orange Crush", but they didn't offer the color new and all the used one's I found were almost the same price as a new Jeep. So... I ordered one...

    RTT - Side or Rear?

    How are you guys mounting your RTT's? I'm looking at the CVT Mt. Shasta with the Annex. It will be going on a Gobi roof rack on my JKUR. If I were to use the Annex, the rear door would have to be able to swing and not hit the RTT ladder. Also, I would like to open the rear door and leave it...

    Best place to mount a Ham & CB antenna on 4-door Wrangler

    I'll be installing a metal roof rack one of these days. But where is the best place to mount both a CB and Ham antenna for best performance? I really don't want to mount one or both between the tire carrier and the rear door as it seems that most people have poor performance there. I have...
