    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    From weekend camping trip. This was the first time driving in proper off-road conditions with the tent on. Wind noise was ok and bearable.. What concerned me the most was this floaty squishy feeling when articulating over bogs and obstacles with one tire up. May be it's in my head..i felt as if...

    Light weight 35s for folks running M186 (Dana 30 Front - JL)

    I think years of JK experience has built mechanics and jeep shops mental model that 35 is stretching it on Sport/Sahara. It's encouraging to hear the above statement coming from you.

    Light weight 35s for folks running M186 (Dana 30 Front - JL)

    Hi Folks I have been collecting some info on the available options of AT and Hybrid/RT tires that are lightweight 35s with skinny/narrow profiles. My rig is a Sahara and hence this info is useful for anyone on Sport/Willis/Sahara and want to squeeze the best out of the M186 front axle without...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    My compressor is connected to Aux A. I can pre-prime the lines (by running compressor for a second until it auto offs) so that the lockers engage stealthily when needed.

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    Its looks stock and well integrated.. The switches are tactile, have night backlighting but I sometimes worry if they are durable.. it feels a bit thin when pressed and I have been babying it to not wear them out soon. The functionality is terrific. The left side switches are connected to...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    Assuming you meant the Aux switch panel? Its supposedly for wiring CB antenna and routing it through the dash area. From the product website - https://www.lasfit.com/products/jeep-wrangler-jl-2018-2021-auxiliary-switch-kit Q: What is the RJ12 jack on the Red switch assembly? A: The RJ12 jack...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    More pictures. I love the roof rack. It was a bit tricky to install without scratching the hard top. The clearance is tight but looks fantastic and i don't have the highway whistle noise at 60mph like the mopar roof rack i had before this. The deezee rack has an air dam in the front cross rail...

    Gray Wolf - The low key, stealthy overlander

    Covid gave me a near-death experience and in the months after recovery, I had a lot of reflection and self-prioritization. I have always loved exploring, hiking, and being in remote places in the wilderness. There was a calling to get into Overlanding and create priceless memories with my family...

    I see what you mean, when the front is resting on the floor jacks at two ends of the axle at height equal or higher than what it would have been when tires or on .. it’s still the same as resting on the tires or mildly flexing 👍

    I really appreciate the confidence you folks are giving. I’ll go get some metric combination wrenches and floor Jack from Princess auto (Canadian harbour freight equivalent) i got the Ryobi impact wrench (brushless 600lb version) hoping that should help with the wheel nuts and LCA bolts.

    Does a floor Jack with lift height off 20” and 2.3/3 tonnes good enough.

    I have this nightmare like feeling that a wheel will come off or the Jeep will track too left or right making it hard to drive 😂 I’m probably panicking due to inexperience. I’m also not a strong arm person so i wonder how to break away torque specs above 190lb. if the Jack doesn’t lift the...
