    Water everywhere

    Thanks. During even brief but heavy rain, the city has areas that flood before the pumps catch up. I’m just looking to not over estimate what the Sahara can handle, nor do I want to experiment. I truly do not expect to drive through 30” of water deliberately. But a might have to go thru 20“”—24”...

    Water everywhere

    I live in a flat, below sea level environment. Flash floods and local street flooding is unfortunately, common I have a recently purchased ( First jeep) 17 Sahara JkU with a 4 inch lift and 34” Toyo Open Country ATs. What is the maximum water level I can safely traverse? I’m not looking to make...

    Back Up Camera

    So after your recommendations I looked up the Wolfbox Smart mirror. It looks like the perfect answer. How was the installation? I’m not well equipped tool-wise and not very talented. How difficult is the installation ?

    Back Up Camera

    I’ve got a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited JK with stock infotainment. I’m thinking I’d like a back up camera as I’ve gotten rather used to them in my company car. There are cheap ones ( usually not the best in the end ) and very expensive ones ( probably unnecessary) available. I’m looking...

    Barricade Winches

    Being as I have a some time while waiting for the dryer to finish, I think I’ll add my dos centavos. First, thanks for the tip on Barricade Winches. I’ll be looking for a winch soon and based on your post, I’ll pass on Barricade. If your manual says parts are available and they’re not, you may...

    Rear Locker (To Be, or Not to Be)

    I’ve got a ‘17 Sahara Unlimited. I do not expect do any rock crawling but moderate trails and desert environments are very likely. Considering the idea of getting rear lockers. Pros, Cons, and ballpark cost. I know getting Rubicon would solve the question but I’m not in a position ( yet) to...

    Soft Top Question

    The older versions zipped in and out. The new ones slide. That’s why I think I have to remove it each time

    Soft Top Question

    I bought a ‘17 JKU with a hard top which also came with a Bestop NX Glide hatchback soft top. I intend to put the soft top on, as it’s approaching summer and I live in a very warm climate. My question is, I frequently take my large German Shepherd with me who has no trouble hopping into the...

    Tire Decision

    I believe all that was done based on what the previous owner spent and told me but I see your point.

    Tire Decision

    I haven’t measured it. I just bought it from a family member who insists it was an Iron Rock 4 inch lift. I agree with you, it looks like a 2 1/2” to me. I don’t have his paperwork but I’m inclined to believe him. I’d have bought it either way. No reason not to tell me if it wasn’t a 4 inch...

    Tire Decision

    I have a 2017 JKU with a 4 inch lift on 34 inch Toyo Open Country AT II tires. The Toyo’s are going to be ready to replace soon. I’m not a hard core rock crawler or expert trail runner. I spend 90% oof time on pavement but I want the ability to handle moderate off roading and look aggressive...
