The problem is not the vehicle and its capabilities despite rated capacities. The problem is liability. If you are involved in a wreck, even if found not at fault, if insurance catches wind of being overweight, they likely will tell you to pound sand in regards to any claims. It is a risk...

Something like this might work but it needs to go lower, and it also needs to flip up to be usable inside as well. The Harker EDC method really isn't going to work. I will have water and LP lines going to it so it has to be usable in place, not removable and stored generally in the bed. I...

I am sure everyone is aware of these two products. https://www.na.rsismartcap.com/components/camp-kitchen https://www.alu-cab.com/product/side-slide-prep-table/ I am looking to build, or have built, a custom option. The table top part I can do myself, what really am after is the frame or...

Today I took a few hours to get some security installed. The Vantrue N5 4 channel dash cam. It has a cam for out the front, behind, and into the cab from front and rear. It's pretty full coverage. One of my dislikes with other cams is they had poor interior video. This setup has nearly full...

That is a perspective I wish more people had. Not to downplay the current economic situation, but there are a lot of countries that are still far behind the US in terms of tech and daily quality of life. Although plenty of other countries also have a nice quality of living, and of course...

Actually, if you look at my original post, this is comparing the TJ to the JL 2 door. Not the JT. It was not meant to be a TJ/JT comparison - that's not even a fair comparison. I just thought it was cool to see old and new side by side. A more applicable comparison would be the original 2...

How do you like the trail oven?? First time I've seen it outside of this YouTubers videos. He has used it while on the go to make a variety of things and it looks really awesome. https://www.youtube.com/@RoamOverlanding/videos

I wouldn't want a standard RV. Their build quality is terrible. The Bengal is perfect size for me but I'm single with no kids or pets so there is that.

Sorry no pics today, was working on the LJ. I'll try tomorrow.

well apparently FedEx is now delivering on Sunday and using rental vans???? That seems sketch. Anywhoo. Looks like next weekends plans are canceled to get this installed. I will feel MUCH better about leaving it in a parking lot with this. Although I dont know where to mount it. Its a...

Ahh ok I see what you're saying now. Yeah makes sense. I will also offer some contenxt too that 'it depends'. By that I just mean, there is context to consider in a particular person's use case. Using your example above, if I were the type of person that wanted 40's and tons, then absolutely...

Thats not entirely true though. I have all 3. 06 TJ purchased in 2012ish, 06 LJ purchase a few months ago, 22 JTR purchased in 2022 I picked up the JTR because I sold my old diesel truck. It was a great truck but I didn't use it for what it was, it was heavy, and getting harder to find...

If getting a motorhome, why not have a LJ to tow behind it? That extra 10 inches of wheelbase sure does make it ride nice. It's funny actually my TJ on a 4" currie rock jock (first of the Johnny Joints) and 33s rides like absolute garbage. Mostly because the Fox 2.0's need to be rebuilt and...

Yeah I have a feeling that guy really has no clue what he's talking about. I just enjoyed the vehicles side by side, and to see his unscientific comparisons. I mean he didn't even air down, and the tires on the TJ were street tires compared to MTs on the JL. But still it was cool to see them...

It will be getting replaced for sure. I'm just waiting to replace it until I have the 2Lo transfer case kit from teraflex and the OME 2" HD suspension - probably will go with a Tom Woods drive shaft as that is what is in the TJ and it has never failed or vibrated, even over 10 years of total...

I agree 100%. I absolutely love the JT. Being a truck, it is loaded down, heavy, and still performs. It is definitely more comfortable with the AEV lift. I can carry way more than I really need for a camping trip. But, it doesn't make me smile the way my little old TJ does. That thing is...

Not Gladiator specific, but it is a cool comparison of vehicles 20 years apart. Some of his comparisons had some big holes in them IMO but I enjoyed it. Saw someone post it elsewhere and thought some folks here might enjoy as well.

It appears this is just a diesel issue. I looked under my JTR (gasser) and saw no major or obvious wire rubbing issues. I was not able to see on top of the trans though so couldn't check that area. I'll try and post pics tomorrow if I can get back to it - just for comparison sake since...

Underbody and frame work on the LJ today. Detail shop did the cleaning, I am just doing the Rust Converter 3M and HD metal protect coatings for rust prevention. Does @Lunentucker approve?

While I am still waiting on some things for the JT I opted to start rust prevention work on the LJ today. The detail shop I took it to yesterday did a fantastic job under it and cleaned things off better than I expected for a good price too. So I began on the rusty spots and spraying with...
