    We have this for the JK and love it. Loved it so much we swapped to a full soft top. It is like the best compromise between having a hard top and soft top. Also super easy to install.

    Hey Guys! Awesome Channel. Shoutout all the way from Sunny South Africa. Ive been following since 3.5k subscribers. Its good to see the channel growing. Kevin mentioned a turbo in the step child's future! That would be awesome. Perhaps you could try the pro-charger bolt-on supercharger kit. Its a 100Hp kit and I would love a review on it (want to get it myself). 100 Extra horses puts you at 385Hp!!!

Thanks for being entertaining and informative! I’ve never owned a Jeep bc I just couldn’t go without a truck bed but watching your vids makes me wish I had one years ago! I’ll be looking forward to watching your adventures in the future and making notes of all the crazy trails you’ve been on so I can attack them when I get back to the states in 9 months and purchase a Jeep myself (maybe the gladiator 🤞🏻).

    Lite Brite. We went out there in the mid 80's and it's fantastic. Videos of the trail shows a lot of changes. Also if you have time check out Fordyce River Or Sierra Trek, close to Truckee. Then there is the Duty Ershem Trail close by as well. The Fordyce has to be low enough to cross at the trail head Th ePine cones of the trees are huge along the trail. have a fun trip, you'll never forget it.

    • @LiteBrite

    Mentioned heading to southern Utah on the way back, head to sand hallow state park, awesome trails and huge sand. If you can make it through Rubicon trail you can make it through all the trails on sand hallow mountain. Also stop in at Dixie 4 Wheel Drive, there store/shop is in St George, great store and awesome jeep people. They also help build most of the trails on sand hallow mountain. Good luck on the Con and awesome videos.

    Hi guys, have you considered using a Bluetooth microphone? This may be a better way to record your sound as the volume levels vary depending on your distance from your smartphone and sometimes it`s difficult to hear your voices. Great Jeep videos, keep up the good work :-)

      David A. Blake No, since we have 38s it’s a bit risky to put on the tailgate until we get either reinforcement or a better tire carrier. We don’t want to risk damaging the tailgate

    Why not rock a soft top without doors during nice weather?
