    New Player in the Expedition Trailer Field

    Sounds like yall have gone over some of those space saving ideas already.. Talk about a lower profile water tank and all, that 2 and a half inches under the kitchen might be an idea for liquid storage.. Of course that much weight behind the axle is "wag" waiting to happen.. Maybe somewhere to...

    New Player in the Expedition Trailer Field

    The pics on the site are pretty cool.. One of the things I saw that you might want to look at is trimming the fenders from under the running boards.. I can see someone getting pulled up against a big rock and folding that fender edge back into the tire.. Another is that there's a lot of...

    Battery mounted in the cargo area of an SUV?

    Did this in my H3 a few years back... Worked pretty dang well.. 26AH.. Had a AGM I was going to put in there instead and never did.. It was back there to basically give a little extra boost to the compressor and anything else I'd need 12v for.. Generally kept the circuit breaker (shown)...

    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    Yeah, I just don't see what all the hoopla is with the car seats.. I grew up sitting on the fold down armrest in the front seat of of my grandmother's Plymouth. If it was a long trip, you were likely to find my sleeping on the rear deck up in the back window.. Let me tell you there ain't...

    REI new return policy

    Exactly... REI is so anti-OHV it's not even funny.. Any company that has such open support for the Sierra Club and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance will never see a dime of my money.. Seems like several of the big outdoor shops are right there in the same boat with them. Cabela's, even...

    There and Back Again . . . A tale of a flatlander

    Great ride..!!! I miss my bikes sometimes.. Others not so much anymore.. Did a trip across some of that same pavement back in 2005.. If you get the chance to make it back that way again sometime.. From Gallup, work you're way across the Navajo nation to Tuba City.. Look for Old Oraibi...

    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    Two adults and three kids will fit, but the one kid that's stuck with a car seat/booster seat on each side is gonna be pissed.. There is a 3rd row option for seating, but it's a very small seat as well.. Still it'd have to be better than being stuck between the other two.. The third row...

    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    The tops on the newer Jeeps are pretty dang good at keeping the wet stuff out.. I hear occasionally about a leak, but it's no worse than the GM Sunroof leaking issues that have been around for years.. There's a kit you can get to hold the doors open for you..I can't recall who makes it right...

    Trailer Locks?

    It'd take a special kind of rat to have some of the special couplers some of the offroad trailers have and go looking for one to rip off.. That would likely mean he's part of our little community of lug nuts. Most folks in the off roading world are reasonably honest with each other. On any...

    Why to or not have one Clevite and one JJ on Control Arms

    But you also won't get the flex out of the rubber clevites that you will a flex joint bushing.. Flex joints by nature are going to wear and require some maintenance that rubber busings don't due to areas within the joint the slide against each other rather than stretch. Metal Clock has a new...

    JK ARB Twin Compressor Mount

    If you're ever get to replace a ball joint or a TRE on the trial you'd appreciate an impact wrench.. I've got OBA but it's just for airing up tires and other stuff really.. Only air tool I can think of that might be worth having on the trail would be an impact, but you can get battery operated...

    camping lab RTT

    Concerning the hole.. My tent has two holes in the bottom.. Sealed them with white tub caulk and white vinyl siding material.. Blends well and looks better than a hole.. Very simple and effective fix if someone is on the edge and just mildly anal.. Oh.. Kind of an old post.. My bad...

    Finally Have My New Rubicon!

    Word I'm getting is Hypertech does have one that's shipping, but it's not on the website yet.. One of the things about Hypertech is they know there's a difference in a Jeep and Corevette... They can get more power out of a Jeep than the standard tunes they provide, but it's not useful power...

    Finally Have My New Rubicon!

    AEV has had one since almost Day one of the 12 being on the market, but not sure what all it does.. They were one of the first to find out that the 12 monitors the ABS sensors and compares it to the speedo seonsor on the transfer case.. If things don't calculate out right, it thinks there's a...

    Finally Have My New Rubicon!

    Lemme check and make sure.. I know they had some issues hacking the encryptions, but I'm pretty sure they have them worked out and have the programmer available now, even though it's not listed on the site.. One of the guys there I know has a JK and I'm pretty sure it's a 12 that he's built up..

    HELP! 05 Rubicon e-lockers wont' disengage

    Went through this about a month ago on my 03 after a regear.. Open the rear end back up.. Loosen the bearing cap on the right side where the locker actuator plate fits under the bolts.. Turn key on, turn locker on.. Tighten bearing cap bolts back down.. Turn locker off, close...

    Finally Have My New Rubicon!

    Check out the Hypertech programmer.. Not really cheap, but it'll take care of your locker only in 4 low issue.. Has some other little tweaks in it like monitoring battery draw.. If it sees a load that would be a winch running, it bumps the idle up to 1500rpm to give max output on the...
