I just went out for quick kayak paddle

I have seen some jeep jamborees that will not let you drive the trails at the events without a cb. They make cb a requirement to register.

I just installed a eag winch bumper on the rubicon, the cost is not to bad, however there are no instruction guide. The front bumper when removed has be taken apart if you want to reuse you fog lights and wiring harness. The assembly of the eag bumper is trial and error. A lot of trial, the...

I have some family members who are vertically challenged and am wondering if the jl step sliders would fit my rubicon ? I am looking at pair of 1941 rock sliders for jl.

I forgot that for soft mud anchor on a winch recovery buy a small 10 pound danforth anchor, costs very little compared to a 500$ earth anchor kit. This will work well on tundra, sand and etc.

I have found my tablet that is cellular Wi-Fi and gps with a gps antenna and gia pro loaded is all I need cost for set up is around 300 for all. The topo is good, trails are very nice and pleasure to work with, just that am cheap on some things, but you can sit in your room and plan and...

The high lift jack with right and I say again the right accessories is great, a tool that is needed with a lifted jeep. The next most important is a good 4 way lug wrench, the factory wrench might be good for truck monkey accessories. I then however carry a d handle shovel, axe, pick and a good...

I believe that you will find a massive tree stump will move only when cut out or dig out. A stump 4 inches will not pull out with out digging. I have found that if you do a on line search you can find the military recovery manual for free down load. This publication will help determine the...

I pull a ex military m101a2 trailer, I did a Alabama to Tampa trip i did not have issue with my trip, I did have a issue with a narrow road and trees, when I stopped and re started the truck it cleared up. The same with my kayak no issues.

I have my jt but in billet silver, I now have just over 5 thousand miles, I just travel from Alabama to Lawton OK and back, I had mpg of 19.6 no steering wander, and I have become a fan of adaptive cruise control. The ride is excellent, anything beats a M35a2 for hours of travel. I hope you...

I have done some research into jeeps and horse power. Take a look at the old jeep horse power and the military M38. The horse power was designed to be low, the m151 series was just a 4 cylinder engine a low horse power was designed for a reason. The military wanted low horse power because the...

I had to make a trip to Lawton OK last week. I visited the dealer and talked jt trucks. The dealer said a 3% off msrp, financing could be taken over the phone, also airport pick up. As of Saturday a black overland and red sport was in stock.

A note on my jt

I have been following the overland threads, has anyone thought about safety? Do you walk up hill or down of your trailer? Trailer recovery points, trailer blocks for dropping the trailer, a working hand brake, spare parts for hubs. Ahh how about couple of spare lug nuts for when you drop one in...

I just use a u bolt with like a muffler clamp cheap strong and available every where.

I use both the military pintal and I also have a lock and roll set up. I also have a rear receiver on my trailer because I can put a recovery point to move a trailer by winch if I have trail trouble. This way saves a lot of busted knuckles and strong language on the trail. The military are...
