I'm actually in Glacier NP this week... trying to camp in nearby national forests. Stopped into a nf camp, right away I see a sign, bear in camp today. Spoke to some campers and the camp host. They tried to scare it off but it was not deterred, it was not afraid. They waited in their cars or...

Oooof, love that red!

Thanks. I've been on here forever, daily, somehow I missed the announcement.

Do they make one for the 2-dr, or did you modify to fit? Thanks.

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
