So I found out that partner steel makes a single burner cook stove that will work great for my size requirements and while it's pricey I can understand you get what you pay for. So I want to hear primarily from those of you who own a partner steel stove. Are they really all that? Would you buy...

I finally got sick of waiting on warm weather and installed my Renogy black 100 watt panel today. It was sunny and in the fifties, which isn't warm enough for the 3m vhb tape to get a full stick (3m suggests 70's) so I'll let the Jeep sit for a few days and let the sun do it's thing. I mostly...

Today I decided to rebuild the sleeping platform in my Jeep. It seemed like the perfect time to get started, the day before a trip when I will need to use it. Nothing motivates a guy like a make or break deadline! The platform has been rebuilt once already, and the original design was good and...

I'm curious what others are using for charging their batteries in a smaller SUV or truck when shore power is available? I've seen a few Jeeps like mine on the forum with shore power receptacles. Are people charging batteries or just using the 110vac to run the fridge? My Jeep will most likely...

I've been working on a dual battery conversion for my JKU for the last week and I'm wondering if I installed too big of a circuit breaker under the hood. The battery system uses a NW power products smart solenoid and I've got a 4 gauge cable running off of the house side of the solenoid to the...

I thought I'd Start a little thread on a DIY project that I just completed. I was recently in a Harbor Freight store and noticed these lights. https://www.harborfreight.com/12v-utilityrock-white-led-light-2-pk-57205.html I thought they'd work perfect for porch lights on the Ursa Minor top. I...

My wife has been wanting to upgrade from a cooler to a fridge this year if things go well and I’m completely clueless when it comes to the portable fridges. The common brand names seem pretty pricey and there are some others like Iceco that appear to be the same thing for a lower price. I...

I've been interested in running Galdiator spare wheels on my JKU ever since I got a glimpse of them. I've been watching the classifieds and have picked up three rims so far. I mounted a rim up tonight with a factory new Falken 285/70r17 tire, and I learned a couple things. I thought I'd share my...

I've got a set of used JKU 2618 medium heavy rear springs from Old Man Emu. These were under my Jeep for a short time and then replaced by a heavier set (2620) to hold up my Ursa Minor J30. My previous JKU build used this same part number and they're still being used under it. Like I mentioned...

I swear I seen a fridge in the recent past that was being produced with a battery that was built in. I believe it was a three day capable battery that was a lithium ion and charged with 110vac or 12vdc. Is anyone aware of who makes it? It sounds like a much better plan than adding a dual battery...

I was thinking about doing a build thread of my latest project but I figured it would be easier to do a youtube video. Boy was I wrong! What was supposed to be one, turned into two and took me all day to shoot and edit, and three days to upload with my poor internet (think telegraph). If you...

I just installed my Old Man Emu springs today on my 18 JKURR. I wanted to give a detailed account of how much lift was achieved and the springs that that were used. My JKU is stock other than a Warn M8000 winch with synthetic rope on a bulldog plate in the factory steel bumper. I've also added a...

I'm a little irritated by Gobi Rack and it's enough of an issue I thought I'd post it here so others don't fall in the same pit that I'm currently in. I ordered a roof rack for my current JK a month ago after checking out the installation instructions Gobi had posted on their page. Everything on...

So after much groveling and tears, I traded off my beloved Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon last week. I needed one more seat than the Jeep offered and I knew that I wanted a pop up camper in the future, so I bought a Ram 2500 Cummins diesel. I hadn't planned to buy a camper so soon, but last...

I have a really nice one owner (me) Commando Green 2013 Jeep JKUR Unlimited Rubicon with 30,000 miles for sale. This Jeep is nicely appointed with plenty of factory options and some good quality aftermarket components as well. I'll try to list everything and I have included the build sheet in...

I'm looking for advice from someone who has a similar setup as mine. My JKU has OME 2" suspension in it. It actually came out to 2" total lift over a stock JKU with my bumpers, winch, etc.. So far the lift has been great and I've put about 20,000 miles on it with no complaints. The lift...

I have a few thoughts after owning my JK for a while. Jeep no longer sends me surveys, which they did quite regularly for the first six months, but I feel I could better respond now. So, I thought I would ask other forum JK owners what they would change in the next model of Jeep utility. I'm not...

I haven't posted here much but I'm a daily lurker. I thought I would post about this problem I have to save others some heartburn. First, a few details on me. To say that I'm a Jeep guy is a bit of an understatement. There has been one or more Jeep universals in my driveway all but three years...

I built a spreadsheet of the specs of three common expo wagons. I can't drive two of the three, so I got all of the usual specs together to compare them. I feel this is an unbiased chart. I do own the JKUR, but they are all three great cars and I hope to someday experience each one. Anyway, I...
