    pricing help

    Put the vin into one of the big used car estimator sites and answer honestly. When I did that it was within 200 bucks of the dealer. No one is paying top dollar for a used truck when new ones are on the lot and negotiable. You should have sold last year.

    Apparently no shop manuals, and no over the air updates.

    There won't be any service centers, and maybe a few dealerships added. They will not be contracting with BMW. You're only 2.5 hrs from Knauz Ineos. There are much much worse.

    agreed. good layout. I'd error on more countertop for cooking than couch, but, I'm amazed at how many people get a layout "wrong". I'm impressed the gfci cover isnt snapped off, so this musn't have been used much. :) oh where oh where is the 300 pound spare, and changing accoutrements? any...

    An incident worth talking about. Kinetic Recovery Accident.

    Assuming all else equal in the strength department, hooks limit the angle you can pull, and rigging falls off. Personally I'm not to keen on one bolt in single sheer. I'll take a cheap loop welded both ends to the frame any day over that. It does look cool though.

    An incident worth talking about. Kinetic Recovery Accident.

    I look at this whole incident simply for what it is. A misuse of equipment that demonstrates the "safety" of using lesser soft components for quick recovery encourages speed and creates a process no more safe than a good ol' fashioned winch and bow shackle used correctly. Recovery isn't just...

    The system is under the hood. I didn't do anything special when I took mine off. No flashing lights. Maybe there was a fuse.

    I don't understand why the ride height is flashing. Wasn't the system removed?

    JK/JL Jeep Camper Concept

    I may have missed it, but since you removed the jeep integral cage, did you do anything to stiffen the chassis for torsional flex or was that unnecessary?

    there was a tsb on the tcase, where if it failed before 80000 or so they would cover it. something was shimmed wrong and it would cause vibrations. there are 20 years of scotch between me and that memory though. take it for what its worth.

    damage to the entire front and the roof... ******? unless your goal is to wheel it into the ground, walk.

    Lighten that load. Recovery gear, snow chains, flatbed decking....

    Outside of the steel cable none of the stuff you're hacking seems superfluous. Either you travel places where chains may be useful, or you don't. Why sacrifice the durability and effectiveness on the front for socks when you already own the chains? Either you think you may dismount the box, or...

    How much? pics? And go to slee offroad for the rundown on model year difference. Thats the same year as mine, and keeping up on maintenance, like oil changes and timing belts it ought to be fine. Id be more concerned about the/if rust. If its lifted on 35's the 4 speed will make it a bit of a...

    An incident worth talking about. Kinetic Recovery Accident.

    The difference in energy between 5mph and 12 mph is a factor of 6. So for that jeep you went from about 5000j to 30000j. It's kinda tough to locate any other contributing physical factors when your process permits that kind of user error.
