DIY Overland Ruibcon on a Budget

April 28, 2018 by Dan Grec

The complete Rubicon setup

Do you want an overland Wrangler capable of global expeditions, but can't stomach the $120k price tag of the EarthRoamer XV-JP? Me too! Editor's note: our piece on the Earthroamer XV-JP for sale garnered a lot of attention. We wanted to bring a different perspective on building an overland-ready Jeep with Dan's rig.

DIY Maxtrax on AEV Hi-Lift Mount

DIY Maxtrax on AEV Hi Lift / Pull Pall Accessory Mount

Carrying Maxtrax on a JK Wrangler can be a challenge. We need them to be easily accessible and outside so they don’t coat the interior in mud. Here’s how I mounted mine onto my AEV Rear Tire Carrier using the AEV Hi-Lift / Pull-Pal Mount. Essentially, they sit where the Pull-Pal would. NOTES: If you have a massive spare tire clearance … [Read more...]

Straps made and fitted to tank, lined with foam weather sealing

April 12, 2016 by Dan Grec

The completed project, mounted to the Trailgator Tailgate Table

The Trailgater Tailgate Table is one of my favorite additions to my Jeep for camping. I use it for three meals a day, and sometimes even as a workbench. My cutlery and small tools have been floating around in Tupperware containers taking up the limited storage space I have in the Jeep. I wanted them to be very handy to the table, and I wanted to … [Read more...]

DIY Jeep Wrangler JK Hood Lock Install

March 13, 2016 by Dan Grec

Rivet the hood lock in place

All Jeep Wranglers need a lock for the hood to stop prying fingers getting at the goodies in your engine bay. Bolt Locks make a lock specifically designed for the JK, and it uses your factory Jeep ignition key. It’s less than half the price of the official lock, so it’s an easy choice. The Bolt Lock is extremely sturdy and works really well, I … [Read more...]
