Headliner is amazing. I really like it, and would absolutely order another JT with it.

I wish they had dills on Rubicon’s, because that or a more expensive Mojave with a set of 35s is a perfect Offroad light duty truck.

I love the stupid thing and can’t wait for a few more mods after I eventually get a :haus:
Awesome! Glad to hear the headliner is working out. I too would only order a truck with one, but it's good to know that the hot heads one is good to add to one off the lot as well.

I'm actually back to thinking that a Sport S with Max Tow and Rubicon flares and 35's would be the sweet spot. I don't like the 4:1 t-case in the Rubicon, and the Mojave is just...meh to me. I need to drive one :doe:
I so wish Punkin was still an option, I want that color so bad. :lol: Or that I would have known Sarge would be available soon... I should have ordered something but my Willys is a really great platform too. Hell, I’ve been seeing ~19mpg house hunting.

Max Tow Sport S with flares and 35s is a great way to go too!

Chassis, not a chassis cab. It's apparently the same as Freightliner fire trucks.
The internet battle between Class A guys and Super C guys is FIERCE. Like for PRIMACY. My mind is still not made up. The FORZA looks bad ass.
One of my retirement schemes is to not actually have physical property in the U.S., but get a PO Box, a big ass RV and park it here. http://bigtoydepot.com/
Then cross the border, fire up the big Cummins, and off we go.

Should stop by your dad's and check it yo. "Hey Mr. Allen, :mahman: Suh, I am Chris' friend from the internet, toss me a cold one and give me the tour of this nasty bitch"
You're joking, but my dad would love it. He LOVES meeting new people and showing off his RV. He's at the Happy Traveler, I doubt you can miss his bus and the Bikini teal 2-door JL.

Punkin was the best color ever. Stupid to get rid of it. :dillerman: here has a Nacho Willys JT, and it looks like a schoolbus. No thanks.

I get sad when I see some awesome colors, but the white and black just looks good. Painted flares make it far less poverty spec looking.
White, unlike other "boring" colors, is functional. It always looks clean (mostly), it doesn't show pinstriping, it's simpler to repair if needed, and it's timeless.

Then when you pair it with some contrasting parts, like the WIlly's, it looks legit :nice: . As much as I don't like the fact that our JL is so generic, it does look great in white with the painted top and fenders. Wife rarely washes it, and it still looks awesome when we do.

Interesting how people's opinions change over time.
Back when I lived in the city and used camping as my sanity reset, I needed to be able to setup a base camp to come and go from. Now, base camp is just home, and the truck and tent will be for wilderness stuff where there's little need to save spots.

BUT

The real test will be our trip out west. My opinion might revert back to needing a separate thing. I've got a small 4 person ground tent that I might bring and pitch just for saving spaces if needed. It was retired because setting up cots and stuff in it got to be a pain, but it actually goes up fast if the intent is just to save a spot.
I thought full size trucks were too large for backcountry type stuff?
I'm so confused

Well, there's wheeling a tight challenging two track, and there's driving down a state or federal forest road to get to an area to camp. The Ram won't do the former, but will have no problem with the latter. A midsizer would do both, but that's not what I have right now...trying to make the best of it.

And fortunately up here, there's miles and miles and miles of forest roads that are barely driven on, so you can get surprisingly remote without going down a sketchy trail.

Note my last post was at 11:54...and I started typing this on my computer at 12:04...so I did all of that in 10 minutes...

For an avid camper, this is game changing. We don't have bedding in the tent yet, but we can get all that in and leave it in there so it's literally ready to sleep in 5 minutes.

This ability has also made me love the full size bed even more.
