Lets take a look at some popular "Overlanding" Mods and upgrades...
You dont have to be a hardcore overlander in order to enjoy some of the products, just like overlanders can use rock crawling upgrades.
Its the best of both worlds!
I will preface that all of these upgrades are mostly "conveniences", and you can still have an amazing offroad or camping trip without all of this stuff. Shoot, ive done it for years and had a blast every single time.
Products:
Jackery Power Station: amzn.to/2Ca5xRG
RotoPax: amzn.to/3gHm8vj
RotoPax Mount: amzn.to/30GGOhk
Portable Fridge: amzn.to/3iq4VGW
Rooftop tent: www.roamadvent...
Traction Boards from SilverFox, website no longer active.. So heres a cheap amazon brand: amzn.to/3imb8Ur
Here are maxtrax: amzn.to/3adclun
I hope you enjoyed the video, and hopefully you guys saw some sneak peaks on some upcoming projects.... LOL
Like always, every Jeep owner has different ideas on what modifications and upgrades they want to do. Thats the best part of the jeep life, and i hope it stays that way.

@TXswampdonkey 4 года назад

Yup. Definitely an ls.

That transition from the sliding brake to your house was really good...I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago because i just joined the jeep community and bought a 2014 JK Rubicon and I've been non stop watching your oldest to newest videos and man you can really tell how much you've inproved as a RU-vidr... thank you for all the awesome videos you do

@deplorablebeaner9390 4 года назад

Happy to see you settled in and making some fun videos again. Your videos have helped me make some decisions when I am at a crossroads on a decision. Love the candid nature of your videos. Been considering a tent solution for my JK🤔

@justinfoy7514 4 года назад

Best tip for cheaper traction boards is when the plastic nubs break, put a nut and bolt in its place. Way better than the plastic anyways.

@av8orAH64 3 года назад

Ben, keep doing what you are doing. Your content is not ever boring to me. I like your step-by-step approach to your videos. I very much appreciate your deliberate approach. I am able to follow along. Even on stuff that I might not attempt myself due to my lack of welding and other experience-based skills. I watch with interest, knowing the art of the possible. Thanks for what you guys do on your channel. Cheers, Gary

@drock3825 4 года назад

V8 huh? can’t wait for that. I love my diabolical slipstream it made camping and loading the Jeep so much better.

@markbrownsell7443 4 года назад

Great video. I'd just Luke to say I have a JKU sport with no lockers and I was running BFG KO2s at the time. I purchased the Orchish traction recovery boards. I only need them twice and I go wheeling about three times a week. The one time I was stuck in mud I used them to back up then I launched off of them and sent it making it across. The second time I was turtled spinning all four tire. This time they were twisted so bad under the wheels I thought they were going in the trash. After I got out of that situation I realized they were fine. No cracks. I didn't even loose a single stud and they returned 99% back to original shape. The Orchish boards were only about $80 - $90 I forget but yes they are great to have and I never leave home without them.

@Dawn2DuskAdventuring 4 года назад

I saw your ICECO video and bought one. We've always had a cooler with water in our SUV/cars. This is bar none best upgrade ever, we LOVE our fridge. Cold water and beer is always close by anywhere we go. thanks for that review.

@jason7231 4 года назад

I've used my traction boards a few times at the beach to self recover, very handy.

@fb3000gt 3 года назад

HWY 48 trails, hell yea! I’ll be out there as soon as I get my new tires.

@thomasc5687 4 года назад

Can't wait to use your LS swap videos as a guide when I do mine. Really curious to see how difficult it'll be without lifting the body off the frame.

@sarabellaanddad8992 4 года назад

Yeah, our mosquitos we have here in South Tx are pretty bad. Especially during this time of year. You should edit this video and add OFF, and Benadryl to ulls list of overlanding or off-roading usages. Lol! Great video! Ulls video in the passed, helped me select the right gears for my JT on 37s, literally a month ago. Both my wife and I saw it, then a week later, I showed her the video ull moved out here. Small world. Have fun guys and welcome.

@MrToyFrog 4 года назад

We use our Jackery and some small usb fans on the front porch, when we sit outside on these hot and humid Southeast Texas nights.

@kevinhagen3231 4 года назад

I carry a cheap pair of traction boards around but I’ve never had to use them for the Jeep. On the other hand, I’ve used them on a car that was stuck in the snow and a full size dump truck that delivered dirt to our home and couldn’t get out of a incline where he’d dumped the dirt. I’m happy to say they worked flawlessly in both situations with the dump truck only wearing off two nubs. I couldn’t believe he didn’t completely ruin them. The driver was so impressed he was going to get some for himself.

@adamaldinger6960 4 года назад

I have been looking hard at tracking boards. Thanks for sharing, looks like fun.

@rocklanderoffroad 4 года назад

Glad to see you back! Cant wait to see the swap. I have the same year JKU so LOVE this channel!

@richsmith3120 4 года назад

Traction boards are a must especially when your out alone. I've seen them get a jeep out of quick sand.

@ccquinnmd 4 года назад

Great video as always, nice to see the JT doing donuts in the mud with that tent on it! Just ordered a ROAM tent after for my JT on your rec, keep up the good work.

@sonnicman 4 года назад

One thing to mention, much of this over landing gear can be utilized during a bad storm and/or natural disaster. Goal zero can power things when the power is off. Fridge to keep your stuff from spoiling. And if your lucky enough to have two water main breaks in the same week, you can use the water rotopax for drinking water etc.

@JeepGearGadgets 4 года назад

Wait.... what’s that in the garage??

@jackpiper2945 4 года назад

I'm right there with you on the clean up. Today I spent 3 hours detailing, knowing I'm going back out in 4 days.

@vinuezaer 4 года назад

I don't miss that wind. Lived in Corpus for 5 years. Cool video.

@kurtismatthewjinks 4 года назад

Ben been doing a lot of thinking about how to set my Gladiator up. Was thinking dual battery but think I'm going to go with portable unit like you have. I'm quickly learning that Overlanding can be relatively easy and simple if you don't have much money. Nice video, keep them coming. Looks like you all are settling in nicely in TX. Semper Paratus.

@shawnvergilia1609 4 года назад

My roof rack was a visual purchase at first, but has proven very useful for many things. My winch has done more yard work than recovery.

@michaelmurray2592 4 года назад

That was a nice long video!!! I’m digging the LS on the stand! Can’t wait to see where that’s going🤔

@tomnehme6700 3 года назад

Hello can you please provide instructions or make a video showing how you built the bed Rack. It's very interesting since the mounting brackets were installed under the Diamondback HD. Thank you.

@JKGearandGadgets 3 года назад

Search, how to build an overland bed rack. I made a video on it

@jake-mv5oi 2 года назад

Might look into the rotopax. had a buddy run out of gas out at Rausch the other day. Just have to find a place to put it where it won't get ripped off or crushed.

@Daishar 4 года назад

I still prefer my old steel jerry cans vs the expensive rotopacks

@mindFaceContinuum 3 года назад

Granted. But I do like how these mount securely.

Thumbs up for the Ethos barbell set! I've been training in my garage with the same set for the last 5 months. Between every set, I stare at my Jeep and ponder upgrades. Very dangerous.

@erichughes9098 4 года назад

Thing about Overland boards need to keep in mind is not the spin the tires that’s what Tears the lugs off. KC didn’t spin your wheels and the boards were fine.

@Bmbwic 4 года назад

Love that spot by the port!!

@eltski2619 4 года назад

Here in Aus we love traction boards, not sure why the hate there. Maxtrax for the win, nearly indestructible way better than tredds. Especially here in Western Australia where we have sand just about every where, maxtrax are a saviour. Other than that solar panels for recharging batteries is good.

@danarteritano1340 4 года назад

I have battery's pack too, I can charge with a portable solar panel so I can run my frig off the pack while charging with the panel. I use the battery for my cpap machine, coffee grinder and blender.

Some real motor to get rid of the 3.8 👍 wonder what gearbox you are going with!

@chasenau4792 4 года назад

Good to know about the traction board out here in Colorado not quite such a necessity it definitely seemed more of a fad but solid

@joshkosteinshek5098 4 года назад

Was that an LS swap in the works for the jk?! 👀

@julianrockwell2966 4 года назад

Then again if you carry the traction boards for a rare emergency I would say the quality doesn't matter if a few of the knubs break off.

@shanebullen4281 4 года назад

Highly recommend Max Trax if you are looking at recovery boards or the Max Trax Xtreme as the teeth are alloy and can be replaced if you damage them

@mindFaceContinuum 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. What is that rack you have on top of your Diamondback bed cover? Can you still get inside your bed? Do they make them high enough to carry a kayak?

@rickbarmore1167 4 года назад

@adamament1675 4 года назад

I noticed the motor as soon as the video started. Another awesome (long) video series incoming! Lol

@SETexasCustoms Год назад

The Iceco runs 24/7 without killing the battery in the JT? Does it just should off with the battery protection or do you have a dual battery setup, or is it just that efficient?

@aaronw8352 4 года назад

Cool video. Good info. Thanks for sharing 👍

@josephdolan1569 3 года назад

To be perfectly honest trac boards should be seen as disposable recovery gear get the cheapest ones and just thank them for getting you out then replace them. I hate the idea of throw away recovery gear but the 2oo dollar ones break just like the the 30 dollar ones

@dalep-i4844 4 года назад

I’ve never understood the point of rotopacks. They’re tiny but still take up heaps of room. In Australia our standard jerry can most people have on their car is 20 litres (5 gallons) I just can’t see the point in holding less than that much as extra fuel

@johnc7678 4 года назад

@jcfindley380 3 года назад

Thanks for all the great info on the JT. Love all the useful info you share and it is greatly appreciated. What is the bumper you are running on that and does the placement of the Baja lights cause any shadow problems with them that far back?

@lonewulf0328 4 года назад

So do you ever have any problems with getting water in the Jeeps when you hit sudden rain like that? I've heard they are pretty much made to hand it for the most part, with all the seals around the gauges and such, but I think I'd still think twice before letter my JTR get rained out inside.

@terryshaw6806 4 года назад

Will the Jackery start your truck should your battery die?

@ashebarley77385 3 года назад

@jamesmerkel9442 4 года назад

Did the math the diesel $4k cost will start paying for itself after 20k miles 2yrs low miles or 1.5 yrs normal driving & that doesn't count resale diff or not hving to can gear ratio. Guess I will order it w/3.0 diesel easy math.

Works pretty good! Has no issues as long as you don’t let it sit for days in the jeep (the battery saver function kills the fridge before killing battery)
