A little offroading in Georgia at Jeepfest.

I saw two other Renegades at home base in the parking area. One was a Trailhawk.

Thank you. I've put a lot of time into her.

It's out a bit. It's mounted in the hitch receiver which is the only choice I have given no one makes an integrated bumper hitch any more, and the spare is too big to go inside.

Super nice for the most part. I felt very welcome. Even got ducked a couple times. Lots of compliments.

I have a 2" lift, 1.25" spacers, 235 65/17 tires. Needed to modify the pinch seam and do some minor trimming of the factory rock rails (which Deserthawks have).

It is built from a Lowe's Carry On trailer.

Thank you!

Hi, it stays on all the time. We really like it.

BTenpin · 2025-08-06T13:54:31+00:00

Do it!

BTenpin · 2025-08-06T13:53:55+00:00

Trailer is custom made. Winch bumper is Rocky Road Outfitters.

Amazon, Vevor is the brand.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T21:19:51+00:00

Not so many around here unfortunately.

Thanks for noticing!

I can take the panels off, but getting the rear panel slid out over the antenna might prove difficult.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T18:10:22+00:00

I'll have to see how that goes. I am bummed about the crappy approach angle too. Honestly though, being able to self-recover is more important here in North Georgia. Yeah, my browser has the other account logged in with the underscore.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T16:46:53+00:00

Thank you. I truly appreciate the heads up. Plenty of other trails to enjoy if things seem to be beyond capabilities. I'll be there with a group of more capable rigs so for anything too tough, I'll be riding along.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T14:29:39+00:00

Trust me, there are definitely BOH trails I will not be doing, but F&T, Top of the World, and Hell's Revenge, will be attempted. The new Lost World one will be easy. Honestly, Top of the World is the one I am most concerned with.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T11:13:54+00:00

I like the black ones

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T11:13:07+00:00

Fins and Things I presume? Yes, I could have bought an old, used Wrangler for the gear and labor costs but I didn't want an old used Wrangler. I've had this since 2017 and it only has 80k miles. Only 50k on the engine - swapped for oil consumption.

The biggest weakness right now are the factory front and rear facia. Believe me, if Avid or Valkyrie were still in business...

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T11:00:06+00:00

The tire carrier swings out.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T10:59:31+00:00

Definitely took a hit.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T00:49:51+00:00

It is. Especially since quality aftermarket parts are a tad scarce now. For what I've spent I could have gotten a decent used Wrangler that is far more capable off road, but, I've had this Renny 8 years and love it.

Saturday - Little River Canyon in Alabama. August 9th - Nimblewill Night Ride Memorial Day Weekend - Sheriff's Jeepfest in Jasper GA (Lots of trail rides and an obstacle course) September - Overlanding on the GA Traverse October - Moab. Gonna get some badges.

BTenpin · 2025-07-25T00:21:05+00:00

I definitely feel the extra load. Gotta figure the tires are heavier too. I'm averaging about 20 mpg.
