Hmmmmm..... I don't get it but I assume you are just trolling

We did camp there.There is alot of camping there, open and not congested. They even have "facilities" on the property. For an OHV park, the camping is very nice. If you are going with your wife, they also have small cabins you can rent if she doesn't like to tent camp.

There is actually no way to "prove" it 100%. Jeep has an app for your phone that is GPS activated. when you are near the trailhead, you open the app and a "check in" button will appear. you push check in on the app. Once you complete the trail, you open the app once again and push the finish / submit button. that will let the app know you completed the trail. additionally, you can add photos of the trail like a normal social media app but it's not required. some people will get close to the trial and start the trial but not actually do the trail. then they will submit it defeating the purpose of accomplishing the trail.

@@RoadRashOffRoad thanks. I want to try it in my Nissan Xterra here soon

Absolutely. I’ve used this Badlands 12k about 60 times, both winching myself and others out. Never failed, never binded, great winch. Unfortunately, i still have the steel cable on it. I have a great synthetic line in my garage ready to swap out. I just need to find the time to do it since I will be shooting a video on that. I am not using the stock bumper and winch plate anymore. I got a new steel stubby bumper by GoRhino so when i installed that, I just moved the Badlands winch over to the new bumper

I’m a huge James Bond fan BTW!! 🙌🏼

In my opinion, the best rack for the Jeep. it's low profile, holds all the weight needed for a RTT (or heavy load) and does not hinder the ability to take off the Jeep hard top. I know these racks are a bit more pricey but for a "permeant fit", it's the best option. The model I have is the larger one... 72". On a 4 door JKU, it goes from the back of the hard top to the middle of the freedom tops.

I think she would… but she’s a bit more “practical”. Wants the SUV that gets 35 mpg 😂 She says we are only allowed one gas guzzler

thank you Chris... I really could have used this in Ocala when we got back to camp after that dusty dusty trail

You will fill it up, then continue to squeeze the black hose on the drivers side. You sill see bubbles coming out.When the bubbles stop. coming out, close the coolant cap, drive it short distances and open it back up when it's cooled down to see if you need to add more.

Ok so basically when no bubbles come up?

thank you Scott. I welcome all advice from others. I can tell you I have been pleased with these M/T's by Kenda Klever. I rotate them religiously every 4000 miles, even rotating in the 5th spare on the back. with that said, I have gotten over 70,000 miles on this set of tires and have maybe 7,000 miles left to go. I have put them through hell and have never had an issue with them. I will be replacing these with another set of Kenda Klever M/T's.... that's how much I like these tires.

thank you for your input Scott. a couple of things: This jeep is my first jeep and also probably my second CZcams video on the Road Rash channel. I bought it to build it out as an Overlander, not a rock crawler however if you've seen any of my videos, I enjoy the challenge for myself sometimes. Like many new Jeepers, I research, read blogs, etc and build my Jeep the way I like it. Now, 3 years later, I still have the same 3.5" lift and I am still running the same exact 35" Kenda Klevers, now with over 70,000 miles on them and have never had an issue with suspension, never had an issue with tires even when dropping the PSI to 12 PSI, and still have maybe another 7,000 miles left on them. The rig is build exactly like I like it with my rooftop tent, awning, kitchen, etc. I have NO complaints with my tires or suspension setup. Additionally, you call it "flatlander" which is not how I would describe overlanding. When I am overlanding, I am typically deep in a wilderness somewhere, disconnected from all people and all community. I never know what I am will come up against, what obstacle I will be challenged with and knowing if I get stuck, no-one is coming to find me. That is why my rig is set up with the lift, suspension, tires, etc. I have found myself crossing creeks and rivers almost 3' deep only to get to a "horse wagon trail" that shoots up the side of a Rocky Mountain with large boulders. Even though I am not seeking to be a rock crawler, some of my adventures put me in places where I am crawling rocks. However, you keep doing you Scott.... "TO EACH HIS OWN"

It matched really really close and after a day of driving, the fenders and jeep looked the same. I also like that every year, just before summer while preparing it for summer, I touch up the fender paint easily from an fall / winter of hard overlanding and off roading

If you notice on the yellow wire, there is an on and off switch. That wire plugs into the pump and the other end 12v cirgerette lighter

@@RoadRashOffRoad ahhh. Ok !

So far, this refrigerator has been great. We just went on an overlanding trip this week where we put it to use. We packed it full with eggs, water, bread, steak, oranges, ketchup, Dr Pepper, etc. it held everything we needed for the trip. (New Video Coming Next Week) I noticed on startup, it drew about 50w to get to the temperature but once it got there, dropped to 9w power draw. I’m still putting it to the usage test but so far, a great refrigerator for the price

Right off hand, I do not. Next time I open it, I’ll measure it. I can tell you that I am right at 6’ tall. Laying down, I can stretch out the full length. Sitting up inside the tent, I have an estimated 1’6” from my head to the ceiling. I’ll measure it for sure and will let you know.

@@RoadRashOffRoad appreciate it brother, how about the windows?

Thank you 🙏🏼 … for those of us without a Rubicon, these are a must. These are so easy to use.

Thank you John for the compliment John. The chains come down so slow, they don’t do anything to the top. (Also, this jeep has been through some really really rough places in the woods… these chains are the least of my concern 😅)

You are going to love it Christy. It was super easy to install. We went on an adventure last week and it was soooooo comfortable. I slept so awesome (except for the obnoxious group of young campers about a quarter mile down the road who wanted to party until 4:30am 😢)

oh wow.., they sure did. that must have just recently happened. ive never seen a trail be removed.

suppose YOU could do that if you want to, however the top of my Jeep is right at 7.5 foot high.... I am only 5'11". I would be climbing up and down a ladder instead of walking around the top like normal. Also, while the platform is only about 60lbs, it is very awkward to lift and position in the correct spot on the roof while you are also adjusting the feet. My hoist can hold it into position slightly above the feet so it will just hang there. Since I have the hoist already installed in my garage, WHY NOT USE IT to make my life easier? I guess every video has to have 1 unhappy person that has something to say.... TAG, YOUR IT!

Agreed!!! As of now, I’ve only had a 35in tire on it (which is probably the max weight for that stock hinge). The great thing is, I have an ambassador ship this year with Real Truck sponsoring the Road Rash channel. They just sent me a new tailgate hinge that will hold up to a 38 inch tire. be installing this probably in the next week.

@RoadRashOffRoad think they advise 85 for stock limit. I have the kenda klever RT on Rubicon wheels and it's right at 95. Just installed new redrock hinge setup on over the winter. Will look for that video for your new support

I could absolutely just put a hoist on the ceiling… but as I said in my video, 2 things I wanted to accomplish…: 1. It had to be electric so my wife (who weighs less than that top) could lift it off the jeep by herself. Manuel hoist would be hard for her 2. My home is a condo / townhouse which means my garage is very small so I needed to maximize the room in my garage. Using a hoist attached to the ceiling would make the hard top hang down about 1ft from the ceiling. Since I had the available space above the garage that is not being used for anything, why not accomplish both goals and build something custom and cool.

@@RoadRashOffRoad Looks like 9ft ceiling. I mounted the electric hoist to the roof trusses in attic. I can also use it to move junk into attic.Nice job

@@agrispilegis4806 that sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see your setup. Thank you.

This would fit perfectly in the gladiator.

Thank you 🙏🏼

I don't know the actual answer to that, however my assumption is that it would be very difficult to overload the switch. I have only 6 added to my rock light switch however these rock light LED's draw very very little power. I would say load it up and let that truck SHINE

@@RoadRashOffRoad thanks for the reply 👍🏾

Thank you Todd. I haven't had the opportunity to fully test this outside of the video shoot. ive had it plugged up for about a week now and noticed when the compressor is on, im drawing about 50w of power but as soon as it reaches temp, I only draw 5w. That is awesome.

On min I am sure that it will use even less wattage. I usually run mine at max during my drive to camp and then while camped I switch it over to min. My large frig I leave plugged in 24/7 at home with drinks inside it and it has been running for 4 yrs like that. Be sure to use your air compressor after every trip to blow out the dust from the compressor area of the frig after you get home.

I can't wait to launch this video. it was so fun filming it and I can't wait to film it in use on the trail. such an awesome product.

Thank you 🙏🏼. I’ve only tested it for about a week but it’s held up perfect so far. Once it reaches temperature, it only draws about 5w of power. Glad to get rid of that old one I had that never stayed shut.

Thank you Sarge. Overall, Stoney Lonesome is a fun park with nice camping. There is ALOT to do there. Technically, 404 Trail is super easy and short… but the trial is we took to get there was quite difficult. There may be other trails to get to 404 but the one we took was a bit adventurous. Same with Switchback… the trail itself is not difficult but the trail to get to Switchback had some challenges. If you wanted the badges, your Jeep could probably do Switchback and 404. Just be a bit more intentional on choosing the trails that get you there

The J scan that I plug into the Jeep gives me the code for the check engine light. However, it also has the ability to clear codes as well. I went into my J Scan and cleared all of the engine codes

Thank you Jason. I love this top. It’s by far my favorite top for the Jeep and stays on almost all year. The only time I take it off is when I am on an overland trip and I need the hardtop and rooftop tent

Oh man i’m so excited to put it to use. I’ve only tested it in my filming and it was amazing. I can only imagine when i come off a trail at camp and im sweaty and dirty…. That’s going to be awesome.

@@RoadRashOffRoad I put a filter on the suction end of the water supply line and attached it to a fishing rod holder so I could put it in a stream for water and keep it above the bottom from sucking up any dirt and the filter is to help with that as well and the unit mounts on a free standing piece of plywood I made for it so we have an endless supply of water as long as we camp by a stream, works great so maybe this will help you out with a way to use near streams while camping. I have a short on my YT channel from last year if you would like to take a look at it when I first set it up for the first time at Sarah’s Creek

Yes. You are absolutely right. Most of it if not, all of it are just scenic Forest roads

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Most of it if not, all of it is just beautiful scenic overlooks in Forest roads, but you will come across some of the most beautiful waterfalls and landscapes in North Georgia. Pack your hiking boots, some food and your tent and just get ready for an awesome four days Exploring North Georgia

Oh man!!! BUCKLIST

Thank you Chris. David was the only one to give it a try. I’m glad he did so I could shoot some content on it but i wasn’t about to try it

Oh man. He loves those things. He put a lot of work into matching paint in the jeep

Thank you Chris... I tried to be funny on my opening part and make it look like MTV Cribs - ha ha ha. Did it work?

I don’t know what everyone else air down to, however the road rash Jeep (white JKU) was at 12psi.

Thank you, Todd. That is the big benefit why I chose this tent, to have windows on all four sides. It’s really nice however the trade-off is it’s not as easy and quick to close as the traditional clamshell rooftop tents. But I really do like open windows on all sides

Oh man, thank you for the support, Todd. I hope I can catch you on the trails on one of our upcoming trips. I know we are going to turkey Bay, land between the lakes in about a month. Maybe you would like to jump on that trip?

Thank you Chris. this was such a fun park to visit. I'm looking forward to getting away for some good ol camping

It is… it’s just over the Georgia / Alabama line (on the Alabama side)

The next one is June 7th. It’s such a great weekend. georgiajeepallianceclub.com/jeep-invasion/

Oh man…. I’m so honored. What an awesome compliment. 🙌🏼
