Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

Parked down by the creek for a few quick shots. Didn’t get any closer to the water due to property damage restrictions. The fur babies were able to have a little fun as well. It’s Talking Rock Creek between Jasper and Ellijay Ga. We have been coming up here every year for almost a decade for the Sheriff’s Jeepfest. Great charity event for kids. Even though i no longer have a Jeep, and the couple we travel with has a broke Jeep, we still come to enjoy the beauty, the fantastic people, the Jeeps, wineries, nature, wineries, antique shops and the wineries. 🤣 🐎
A couple SHOTS indeed. I see you listed wineries 3 times. Lol.

You might even consider staying with the chrome lug nuts. Kinda pops. Either way looks great!

Installed the Rampage Trailview soft top on the Wildtrak. Gonna be the “warm weather” option for me! Install took a little over 2 hrs (going solo and filming the install). Picked this and the cargo shelf up at the Bronco Stampede in Pigeon Forge from Havoc Off-road. Will post a review after I get some miles on it, but it just takes a few seconds to get that open air experience!

Researched a lot back when I got the bronco back in May this year for roof racks. Kept going back and forth between a couple but finally decided and put my order in back in June. At the beginning of August I did a small road trip and drove up from Texas to Denver, CO so the guys at Gobi Racks could install my roof rack. Figured why do it myself when they will do it for free and gives me a chance to see how the bronco.

I just liked the look of the Gobi Rack, and after seeing a couple on some jeeps, 4runner, and another bronco I went with Gobi. I had them do some custom stuff to it and bought it while they were doing some promotion, so I ended up getting both rear ladders and custom stuff for nothing extra. Those guys did good work and already used the rack for various things to carry stuff around.

Also got back with JCR Offroad and bought the overhead Molle panel and got it installed, along with my dash cam and got the rear cam mounted and wired up. Definitely learning some on the various wiring places the bronco has. The rear cam for the dash cam had to be mounted to the rear glass but it works great and can see thru the UV dark limo tint, but you can't see it from the outside which is perfect. Had local place do full tint on all the windows with some UV ceramic special tint that helps block UV and some heat. The went full privacy basically on all the rear windows so it's blacked out and you can't see in, and they did the front windows at legal limit, and they put some UV tint on the front windshield as well. It has definitely made some improvements.

Next will be the rear Molle panels from JCR... Man I wish I could win the lottery haha...

Oh, and I successfully relocated my XM antenna, but I'll make a new post for that.

From some recent posts here, sounds like Labor Day weekend was a good time to pull doors off! First time for me. It’s like riding in a golf cart, but on the highway at 70 mph. Anyone else feel like it’s more sketchy on the passenger side, when you don’t have the steering wheel to keep your hands occupied?

Great looking rig! I imagine it would be dicey feeling as a passenger.

That Rack looks pretty damn substantial and looks like it would hold significantly more than anything just mounted on the fiberglass 150 lb roof. If I were into overlanding I think that is the way I would go.
