2023s are a total steal right now. I bought one in late December to rig out for overland camping. I had been on the fence from minivan camping for several months, because of the limitations of the minivan here in the Mark Twain National Forest. Well, I took the plunge and the only issue vs the minivan is that I can’t just hop in the back and sleep. So, the next upgrade will be a roof top tent. Then I’ll be ready for some deep country overland camping. It’s fun to build something, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Cara sets it up.

I know the factory steel bumpers aren't thick but for those in the northland factory bumpers are the only ones that stand up to sodium chloride that coats our roads in the winter. The coatings on all aftermarket bumpers rust in 2-3 if you don't repaint every year.

Jeep has really messed with us with this pricing. Everybody needs to realize they raised the MSRP’s to give these “discounts “ when I ordered my jeep in July of 22, when the 2023 order banks opened up, my MSRP was $68,000 when I picked my jeep up in October my MSRP was just over $71,000 the MSRP of my jeep at the end of the 2023 model year was $75,000. thankfully I ordered it from Gupton in Tennessee so my price was $60,000 look at the 2024 a loaded Rubicon X is about 70 grand. I bet if you ordered it from Gupton in Tennessee and you were a member of tread lightly you would probably be right around 62 63k don’t get me wrong that’s still way overpriced for a midsize truck with this powertrain that we all know we’re going to go put another minimum $15,000 in. Now all that said absolutely love your guises jeeps and you two absolutely look incredible. Well done!

MSRP was not raised to give these discounts. Sully was 61k new 3 years ago. This new was 65k msrp with then 15k in discounts. Prices definitely went up over 3 years but not because of coming discounts.

I'm on a JLU Sport S with manual transmission. Regeared to 4.88 since I have two less gears than the auto guys. On 35s, plans for 37s. Currently on a spacer lift but should be swapping that out in the next year or so for a true suspension lift. New tires and high clearance fender flares should be incoming in the next year as well. I always love watching builds because I can get ideas and compare and contrast what I have.

Good stuff, great thought process on the foundation for modification builds. I have a 2020 Taco that I am still making modifications to based on how we use our verhicle. I think we are close to finishing the big mods based on our style of offroading/camping and living in CO and exploring the western states. We do pull a UEV 490 (re-geared Taco to 5.29's two years ago) going on our fourth season now with the UEV - we use it to base camp and explore areas. I think the biggest mistake anyone starting out is jumping into modifications prior to knowing how they are going to use their rig and more importantly, if their new vehicle is new to them - take the time to learn how it handles/drives before making serious modifications. The only three items you will need right off (IMPO) is good sliders, maybe tires and recovery eq. everything else will follow as you see the need.

Considering there is a Monster's Inc theme going with the names the new Jeep would have to be named either George (more orange than red though) or Flint if you want to keep that going.

I went 5.13s after a few months with 37s. Didn’t see 8th or 7th that often. 5.13s put things perfect. Also I thought you called the new Gladiator “Reggie” in the video but you just said “Red Jeep” but I kind of liked Reggie. Can’t wait to see what you guys do. I wanted to keep mine as close to stock as possible so I went with the AEV and Geometry brackets and I’m super happy. I want to stay as stock as possible for easy parts availability if I break on the road. Similar philosophy to Venture4wd’s Orangie and Trail Recons new build.

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures You get used to it lol! I think the newer AEV lifts (JL/JT) ride better than the one on my JK did. With that said, I have the High Capacity springs (like Brad’s) on my 392 (which weighs over 5000lbs) and it does ride stiff(er) than most lifts that are designed to flex more, but it’s still nowhere near as stiff as say, a 3500 pickup on leafs. Once you load it down with gear it actually rides perfect IMO. Brads is nice too with the remote reservoir Bilsteins which probably rides even better than my mono tubes. The main thing I love is the lack of droop when loading it down and the way it handles on road. It still does flex pretty good off road as well.
