Need to build them tough when you drive like this...

...

If you've never set gears in a differential, I wouldn't recommend taking on this job yourself right before a big trip.

I wheeled the crap out of my D35. Mine had 4.88 gears and a Detroit Locker in it, running 33" tires on steel wagon wheels. I ran that Jeep over the Rubicon twice and the Dusy Ershim once. The Jeep...

I'd recommend that any of you Grand Cherokee guys give the boys at T&J's Performance a call.

I'm a firm believer in race on Sunday, sell on Monday. These guys have...

I find that the FRS radios work well, usually enough spare handhelds to go around if someone doesn't have one. I agree that HAM is the answer.

I'm no radio guy by any stretch, I can barely...

No manual trans was offered, nor was the I-6. V-6 and a couple of V-8 options were all that was there.

Nice rig, jealous of your Silverton trip. We've been there twice, love it there.

TSL SX's are a bit overkill for Silverton as well! I won them at KoH a few years back, need to get some...

Started my LJ for the first time in a month, felt sorry for it so I washed and waxed it for the first time in forever. Hope to have it back out in the dirt in a couple of weeks.

Camper availability and amenities are greatly improved with a long bed. I have a short bed with camper, it meets our needs, but it's pretty crowded for two people and two Boxer dogs. ...

We saw the museum in Beatty on our way home. Wish we had known about it on Saturday when we had some time to kill. It wasn't open when we went through.

I'm too stupid to use a computer properly, can't figure out how to link the Mapquest page. Anyway, I used Owl Hole Springs Rd, Baker Ca to locate Harry Wade Rd, with some dead reckoning on the...

Just finished loading the truck. We're all set except for coolers and clothes bag.

We'll be there waiting for you, monitoring 146.520

Looks like the weather is going to be on the warm side (upper 80's, low 90's) with a chance of some wind depending on where we are.

Guessing it's a greasable bolt for shackles, probably a Jeep.

Sounds like a plan Cliff...really looking forward to it.

I think you are going to have to resign yourself to some option that includes at least one, maybe two small tents for the kids (or someone) to sleep in.

I think a 3/4 ton 4x4 truck of your...

Pulley/tensioner for a turbo? Turbo's are exhaust driven, no belt/pulley.

No worries. We'll have camp waiting for you. Pick a HAM freq to use and I'll make sure I monitor it for your arrival.

I've been using an Edgestar 45 qt for over 5 years now...that's continuous use. When it's not in my truck/Jeep on a trip on a 12v circuit, it's plugged in to 120v and keeping the beer cold on the...

Bummer...

Cliff, Lori, you guys still in?

Great minds!

I'd been thinking about a canvas raft like that for a while. I'm a little old school, didn't occur to me to look for one on line. I think that is going to be the ticket for my use,...

Got the job done. Looks to be plenty of clearance between the truck/camper now. Not sure I really need the inflatable pad now. I'll get some pics tomorrow.

I'm not real thrilled with the gaps...

Started my prep for the trip today.

My camper is designed for a mini truck (it came out of a Ford Ranger). To get the overhang to clear the truck cab, I had to build a platform for the camper to...

I think the door on the passenger side is just a "that's the way it's always been" thing as much as anything else. What drives me crazy is RV manufacturers that put the generator on the camp side of...

I agree with Mike on all counts. Run quality single shocks rather than two crappy shocks. King, Fox, Bilstein all make something that will meet your needs.
