Nice. Rubber washer are a good idea, wish I'd have done the same. Here's mine but for the 2-door, AC180 (very heavy) and Charger 2. I chose not to use the rear 12v port, it overheats. I used Rough Country and Turn Offroad molle panels for support. Currently a week into a 2-week overlanding...

I heard about the flooding, hope it's dried out by next week. Didn't hear about the snow, dang, hope that's melted too. Stayed at Theodore Roosevelt NP a couple years ago, beautiful.

Ticked over 100k earlier this week. Took ownership Aug of 2022. A little over 25k a year. Kicking off the next 100k this Sat with a 15-day round trip MN to MT (Glacier), and wherever I can get to in-between.

May I ask, what skinny 35s did you have please? Thanks.

Yea I thought it was crazy that the Grabbers lasted this long. I will probably replace them next summer. I'd like to get some coil-overs to smooth out the ride. Stock suspension is brutal on off-road trails. 2022 Black Diamond 7mt 2.3l 2-door. I do oil changes and 5-tire rotations every 5k...

I plan on going with pizza cutters but in a 35", for my '22 BD w/steelies. I wish General made a skinny Grabber. 100k miles and I still have plenty of tread left. Been doing 5-tire rotations every 5k.

Dealer oil change and 5-tire rotation, $88. Done.

I was considering these. Don't they claim they are for off-roading? How "off-road" did you go?

I held off on the alternator charger for awhile thinking the same thing. My rear 12v port would heat up the cable which kind of scared me. Not a fan of vehicle fire. My Bluetti battery can take up to 500w input so naturally the Charger 2 input 500w. I also have a 200w solar panel wired in, I...

Finally, installed the Bluetti Charger 2, solar panel, wired up, all seems to be working great. Took her out for a shakedown one night camping trip. Mounted the Callsun Bifacial 200w solar panel to the top of my FSR Aspen Lite RTT. Used some FSR crossbars made for another tent, modified for my...

RTT on my 2-dr, but I still can get over 20mpg. Leave it on all summer. No regrets, I love being self contained on road/camping trips

I store tools, NOCO jump starter, shovel, ratchet straps, zip ties, extension cord, bungies, under my front seats, always there. RTT always on top for the summer, too hard to take on and off. Heading out on a road trip, 2 or more nights, 12v fridge and Bluetti solar battery (plus other camping...

You left out the "manual transmission scraping noise". I understand not all have the 7mt, but just wanted to mention it. I replaced my first 7mt at about 37k. The noise is not as brutal in my second one, and I'm at about 60k on this one. I have the extended warranty which expires at 125k...

Following-up with my solar battery storage/set-up. 2-dr Black Diamond with rear seat delete, plywood platform with fridge slide on the passenger side. Installed the side window Rough Country molle panels. Modified (cut-up) the Turn Offroad front overhead molle panel, and made a shelf for my...
