The first half is correct. Tire size is completely irrelevant to gear ratios. A 4.10 ratio is for every 1 rotation of the axle, the engine spins 4.1 times. It doesn't matter if there's a 31" or a 40" tire on that rear end, those relationships will not change. The difference will be how many...

Gear ratios are calculated based on engine/transmission/rear end gears, and has nothing to do with tire size.

Maybe. I have a gray JT and was pulling a gray hiker trailer. Confirmation bias has me seeing “snek” a lot. 😆

Heh, wife & I just ran through that part of the park on our way back home Father's Day weekend. Didn't do the trail, though. That plate tho... I wonder if 0STPSNK is available? I need to get my No Step on Snek sticker slapped on.

I love JP and the 1st JW. Then it got worse and worse. I loved the 2 books as well. I'm happy with just doing little things like calling it Clever Girl, getting the plate KLVR6RL, and a couple JP-related stickers here and there. Themed vehicles look great and I'm glad people are that...

Tore apart my dash to handle a couple things. 1. Replace the USB cord to magsafe charger, it got pinched. 2. Clean some pieces from a coffee spill that gummed up the left passenger vent and surrounding area. 3. Improve the routing of things that need power. The failing of the JT is not...

GoPro or Insta360 should work fine. That, a few suction cup mounts, and a handheld gimbal (DJI makes one, I'm sure there are others) that syncs with your phone should be enough, and all less than $1000 (no need to buy the latest & greatest GoPro/Insta cameras). If you check the YouTubes, most...

That's a custom-engineered industrial fastening system, manufactured by McMaster-Carr most likely. Rare breed. Makes that JT basically 1 of 12,000.

While I don't condone "fighting" the fire with hoses, there have been properties saved because the homeowners kept sprinkler systems running as the fire approached. Keep trees and other fuel sources away from the home. Good luck.

Hiker Trailer Mid-Range 5x8. Added a 57" truck box to the front last week. I plan on putting a solar panel on the lid. Gotta dig into my box of randomness and pull out some cheap light pods for some exterior lighting and putting some back in the truck bed.

Yesterday I washed it and hosed down the front mats. I unknowingly underestimated the mess that an olive tree (I think) makes. If you've parked in the street by the Moab Brewery/Distillery, you probably know the trees. I still have some on my flipflops. Sunovabish.

I heard we’re supposed to free the nipple. I guess that means cut them off?

It's difficult to avoid if it happens. So far my hinges have been fine, but I do have a couple bubbles on the lower edge of the hood below the stickers (not underneath the stickers).

Does anyone make a sloped bed cap, ala HUMVEE style? I don't have a Gobi, so no JW-themed vehicle. But I was wondering how it'd look in the wild. Alibaba has pics of one, but cropped. It's possible my keywords "sloped" and "bed cap" and "canopy" weren't broad enough in search. Not the alibaba...

I tested it shortly after we bought it. Across the Walmart parking lot, almost 100yds.

That would be nice to have extra room. We use our Sunrider top ~9mo out of the year. It'd be nice if there was a soft top version as well... or $24.99 "extension" pieces that can clamp in the open ends for those that don't use Freedom Panels.

My JCR Offroad molle panel fits with the Sunrider w/o any modifications. Just gotta jam it in there and be a man. :like:

These work. In the past month we've had rodents in the house. I have 2 "humane" traps, I think they catapult the rodent inside the trap into a "neck snapping" block, and those haven't caught one. And I tried a glue trap. Nothing works as well as the electrical one. The problem I have to...

I guess I missed posting here. After the lifting project completed in Dec: Icon 2.5", Patagonia A/T in 37".

Modern problems require modern solutions. :like: Since we got a Hiker Trailer, we moved the RTT (on bed rack) onto the trailer. Now I have an empty bed rack, and I was able to put the JCR half-rack back on the roof. The heights are different, but I think I can get away with simple blocks or...
