    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    You will miss the crew cab space if you choose to go with the single cab. The pass through from cab to box will be easier to configure with the crew cab as well. You won't have to touch the front seats in the crew cab, and you could probably get away with to rear bucket seats in the back and...

    Need you to help me decide, which vehicle to buy for overland adventure for 1+year

    How tall are you and your wife? If you take out the rear seat of an Lj Rubicon could the two of you sleep comfortably in the back? The benefit of the Lj (Tj Unlimited) is that they use a lot of the same axle parts of an Xj Cherokee. Everything from the knuckles out is pretty much the same and...

    I finished it! Took me two evenings of reading but I've finished your thread. Nice work on the first setup and the second. What did you ever do about the tire wear? Sub'd.

    Super Budget Expedition Vehicle?

    I think the Xj is the answer to your riddle. Cheap to buy, 4.0 will run til the unibody rust beyond repair, super capeable, and parts are still cheap and plentiful. The AW4 auto is spot on reliable. They came in a 5 speed too. Pull the rear seat and it's a perfect place to sleep. Stay away...

    Newb What military platform is the best starting point

    I recently bought a late 60s BenHur trailer. It's 4x6 and resembles a military trailer. My 4cyl Tj pulls it. There is a lot of info on them on EarlyCj5. Pretty cool trailer.

    Looking for advice

    Have to agree with the correct sleeping bag and insulation. I slept in my hammock last year in -20 weather. Only things I used were a therma rest pad in the bottom of the hammock, a cheap Trekker (sp?) -20 bag from Cabela's with a thin Walmart fleece sleeping bag stuffed inside it, and both of...

    Tractor Supply Co. winch rope?

    I used to help my uncle log during the summers, pulling skidder cable. I've seen a cable snap and knock the sidewalk out of a skidder tire. Granted that's not an apples to apples comparison but it still makes you think, and leery. My children wheel with me and sometimes the cable does come out...

    1991 Isuzu Trooper Overlanding Build

    Nice Trooper man! I bought an 86 my junior year in high school. It was the ultimate weekend camping; read party; rig. Pull 4 or 6 bolts and the rear bench comes out and goes beside the fire. Then there is plenty of space to sleep in the back. I learned how to wheel with the 4 cyl. Didn't have...
