    Don't forget a trailer and tow vehicle to get the jeep to the trail. So you'll be up to 4 vehicles.

    Thanks, that's not a bad deal!

    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    I am a fan of the inverted method as well and just add some hot water to fill the cup. I use a fine grind and brew for about 1:30-1:45 total.
    No hate from me on the use of sugar or creamer, I personally prefer my coffee like my women. Bitter.
    But to that end I favor light to medium roasts. Dark roast coffee just tastes burned to me.

    It wouldn't be a crazy build (at first) so I'd probably just drive it up like I do with the 4runner. It's just a thought right now, though. I could always just take the 4runner up a few notches in a year or two.

    Took the words out of my...keyboard? That's a heck of a deal on a snatch ring, after my recent folly with bumpers and winch research seeing how much others on the market cost this one is almost a no-brainer.

    Haha no worries, everyone has their own tastes. I prefer dark roast which is maybe why I enjoy creamer/sweetener. Almost like a spicy hot chocolate with enough caffeine to kick your teeth in.

    When it comes to coffee I guess I'm behind the times. I still like mine made in a percolator. Takes longer, but tastes good.

    Also on the Aeropress train. My wife got one of those fancy pants Nespresso machines so there was no more hot water from the Kuerig for me. Sure enough Nespresso stopped selling those capsule things for a while and she started using my electric kettle and Aeropress. My Dad and uncles used to take me out to the cow pastures at the crack of dawn and bring Nescafe instant coffee for them and Nesquik for me. They'd pour the powders in a cup and use milk straight from the udders. Because of that I find myself buying the big containers of Nescafe at Costco. and sometimes Nesquik :muscleflexing:

    That’s a bummer that someone ripped off Brennan so fast on that. He’s only had the ring snatch block out 2-3 years

    These jetboils type things are also the door to the wonderful world of freeze dried camping meals. I found a decent one like in the link at dunhams, around 40ish bucks.

    Do it. If you throw money into 2 pits it’s harder to track the total. 3BDA64CB-C761-4EE8-9FE4-243421A18C6F.jpg

    Your topless picture isn't helping. :rofl:

    I started watching a series of videos where a couple had bought a 2 door Sport, and started wheeling it bone stock. I'm only a few videos in.

    In the second video, they took the top off, and that just really got my head spinning for some reason. Something about a removable top just seems awesome to me (except when following a bunch of other vehicles on a dusty trail run :D).

    Nope probably not. When am I going to win?? Do I have to start playing first?

    It runs, it just has a small problem with stopping. Or passing emissions. Or not having parasitic battery drain. Rear main seal, steering, suspension, etc etc. It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand.

    as far as I'm aware, 7p was the first to market with them in 2018. They first showed them at overland expo when I was out there.

    https://gearjunkie.com/motors/overland-expo-2018-new-gear-products

    now theres a ton of them - factor55, maxtrax, 1000 different ones on Amazon
