    2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Cummins 4BT swap

    Also, this is a 2007, so it is Mercedes, not Fiat. Or Mercedes designed anyway.

    2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Cummins 4BT swap

    It fits pretty nicely. And it is super fun off-road. It makes difficult trails seem easy. Just put it in low range and it practically idles anywhere you want.

    2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Cummins 4BT swap

    It all depends on load, hill, and speed. It isn’t hard to push it over 1200 F pulling the trailer at highway speeds. That said, off-road, it doesn’t get warm at all, even in butt puckeringly steep trails. And, it’s still for sale!

    2016 Conqueror UEV 440

    We have never weighed our trailer. I don’t know the hitch weight. From the manufacturer, dry weight is 2974 lbs, and GVWR is 3968 lbs. It tows well, without any wagging, which tells me it doesn’t have too much weight behind the axle, and that the hitch weight is not too light. We tow it...

    Has Anybody Tried the Onx App on Apple CarPlay for Offroad Maps?

    We’ve used OnX some on car play. It works fine for seeing where you are in relation to the road/trail. It is far more interactive on a phone or tablet though. It is just easier to zoom in or scroll around the map to see the details on these devices. For navigating along the trail, it works...

    Someone explain why GAIA gets so much love

    So what I am gathering is that people like it for the wide variety of maps available. And it seems cheaper to pay the $30/year than the per map fee on Avenza. It also seems to have about the same use features thatold stand alone GPS units did.

    Someone explain why GAIA gets so much love

    The method On-X uses for downloading maps is frustrating, to say the least. It has to be a headache for them too, from a data management standpoint. Otherwise, they seem to have similar functionality as Gaia. Gaia’s map access is stronger though.

    Someone explain why GAIA gets so much love

    I agree, just because some features are not useful to me doesn’t mean others won’t find them useful. I am trying to figure out how useful it could be to me. Or if it can be useful to me. I am eager to hear the reasons people like it. I have figured out how to download maps, it is just a...

    Someone explain why GAIA gets so much love

    Can someone explain why Gaia gets so much love? I have tried using it and do not understand why people talk it up so and why they pay for essentially a lesser version of google maps or maps.me. My use case is plan on the go, I don’t sit down and plan out “routes” in advance. I want to be...

    True Dual Band vs Multi Function Single Reciever

    I am looking to add a radio to the Jeep and want VHF and UHF. We travel full time and do not have a home base nor a regular group we go out with. However, we have found ourselves meeting up with people that use radios and it would be nice to have our own. Some use 2m, some use 70cm. I was...

    JKU must do’s upgrades

    I bet you nearly never get into 6th gear with 3.73s. If you want to drive tougher trails and obstacles, numerically higher differential gears will make it easier to do so. If you are more interested in exploring remotely on moderate trails and dirt roads, you may eventually want to re-gear...
