Rob Fife, tell us about yourself and how you came to work for Condition Zero.
How did you Condition Zero get it’s name?
Let’s talk Products, What do you guys have to offer?

Rackbone:
The Rackbone takes advantage of the “dead space” behind the front seats of your vehicle; hanging vertically from the posts of the headrest and held snug by an adjustable quick-release strap underneath. Twelve attachment bays along the length of the “spine”, and a variety of optional attachments make it easy to configure all your gear in one easy-to-find, easy-to-move location.

Rackbone Clamp:
The Rackbone™ with Clamps takes our standard model out of your backseat and mounts it on UTVs, watercraft, helicopters…anything it can sink its teeth into. Just tighten the 2” jaws on our aluminum mounting clamps, and mount locations that once required painstaking permanent attachment become instantly accessible.

Pistol Mount:
Bolts into seat bracket bolts, mount pistol holsters or gear cases. Comes with holster included.

Door Mount:
Condition Zero JK Door Mounts are created from solid steel, powder-coated, and easily slip into the door hinges of your JK Series Jeep. No drilling. No bull. Whether you prefer muzzle-up or muzzle-down, our mounts keep your rifle or shotgun secure and ready. If you’ve ever missed a shot while you wrestle with your rifle, the Condition Zero JK Door Mount should be your next accessory.

Rear Center Mount:
Bolts into place on existing roll cage and floor bolts, holds two rifles, shotguns, or gear of your choice.

Main Topic: Overlanding 101

1) Complexity is the enemy: Keep the vehicle as simple and reliable as possible.

2) Weight is the enemy of performance:
 Keep the vehicle as light as possible, removing heavy items that provide limited value or are never used. The goal should be 90% of GVWR or less.

What are your thoughts on RHD jeeps? Can any lift go on them? Are parts interchangeable? Should you stay away for building a rig for extreme off roading? Seems fun and different, as you don’t see them on the trail much. Also love the podcast been listening since day 1.

Hey guys,
I own a 2009 JK that I bought from a senior guy who absolutely cherished the JK. Never been offroad. I have noticed at my 32K it uses oil…Like a quart per 3000/miles. What;s up with this???

Hey Guys,
Love the show, but I just wanted to point out a small inaccuracy from the opening of the show. One of you said that there was no cars that use a combustion engine to power an electric motor, however this is how some of the gas/electric hybrids work. For example, a Chevy Volt runs that way. Here is a passage from the Wikipedia article:

“The Volt operates as a pure battery electric vehicle until its battery capacity drops to a predetermined threshold from full charge. From there its internal combustion engine powers an electric generator to extend the vehicle’s range as needed.”

I dont know if this kind of setup is coming to a rock crawlin’ 4×4 near you any time soon, but who knows!

Thanks,
Scott
