    Camp Chef Everest or Eureka Spire LX Two Burner

    Reviving an old thread here...any responses? I am looking at the same 2 stoves. Camp chef everest seems more robust and durable. Eureka Spire might be more packable and has daisy chain thing (is that a marketing gimmick?) but not as much power and not as much cooking surface. Have I got that...

    '06 LC - I'm Sitting in the dealership

    Perfect. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. Drove it for a couple hours today. It either has a fuel sending unit problem or major fuel leak. Probably gonna pass on this one.

    '06 LC - I'm Sitting in the dealership

    An '06 popped up at my local dealership this morning. 151,000 miles. They are asking just under $18,000 out the door. Timing belt has been done. Florida vehicle. Been in NC for 6 years. All electric works. Air bags seem to be okay. No surface rust that I can see. Anything else to be weary of...

    XJ spare swing away by Detours Off Road Hardware

    If I hadn't just bought a T4R I'd be driving to get this right now. This gives an XJ a near stock appearing, heavy duty, tire carrier. And this is no longer available from the manufacturer. I've kept an eye out for one for 2 yrs. GLWS.

    New guy - looking at 2003 100 - opinions needed

    I bailed on the salvage title LC. I ended up with an '06 4Runner. Not exactly what I wanted to do but it made more sense for now. Hopefully my search for an LC will resume in a year or so. Thanks so much to everyone for the input and advice.

    New guy - looking at 2003 100 - opinions needed

    Marc - thanks again for the input. I've really been trying hard to talk myself into this vehicle, but things just keep adding up against it. I found another Hundy a couple hours away. '00 with 140k on the clock. Rear locker. 2 owner. Current owner bought it from his sister. Souther car its whole...

    New guy - looking at 2003 100 - opinions needed

    After all that long winded response forgot to add that I've already checked in insurance. My provider will cover it. And Seller says he will provide parts list from repairs he did that totals $7000. Tells me that if he bought it for $1000 in totaled/wrecked condition he is trying g to pocket...

    New guy - looking at 2003 100 - opinions needed

    Thanks so much for the input. Here is where things stand as of today: I went to look at the vehicle for the second time today and I drove it for the first time. Everything feels solid. Shifts into 4lo smothly. Brakes are good, tight and not soft at all. All electric appeared operational. A/c...

    Yeah i know. A bit disconcerting to say the least. Not sure it helps, but current owner/seller bought it damaged and did all the repair work.

    New guy - looking at 2003 100 - opinions needed

    Hi folks. New here. Have only posted in jeep forum a couple times. I've been a jeep guy for a long time - on my 6th jeep now. However I am now looking at a 2003 series 100. I'd like some opinions on whether I am looking at a decent rig, if the asking price is reasonable, and if not reasonable...

    Thinking About A Jeep Commander Who Has One?

    I'm in similar boat. Currently driving an XJ but with growing fam trying to decide between commander and GC. I've owned a '06 GC before. Best vehicle and most capable unmodified 4x4 I've ever owned (compared to Wranglers, Discovery I, Range Rover, and GMC1500HD) Commander is exact same platform...
