Your 2 door jeep probably has a lot less cylinders than the old Dodge as well

You are not wrong there. It can certainly be tough to get figured out. At one time with these I had the rear rebound set too high and it was definitely an eye opener. Thankfully it's not to high and now the compression it set right. It just took a bit too long to understand it especially since...

Keep in mind that stock range is only good if you have a stock vehicle. My vehicle is a bit far from that and requires extra field to begin with. That's why it's getting a bigger tank. Things are still in track it should be here sometime next month.

Instead of focusing on the load range, I simply see what is available in the size I'm looking at and for particular tires. For my current vehicle I have 265/75-16 Firestone Destination XT's. They are a Load E, but the actual weight rating is just above Factory. How do they handle? Just fine. The...

So Old Man EMU by ARB is what the others are referring to. In general they are ok with the Nitrocharger shocks and struts. If you can get BP-51 Shocks and Struts then you will be happy. Another option to consider is Dobinsons. They have the GS Twin Tubes, IMS Monotube and MRR 3 way adjustable...

It depends on the size of the bump I guess. The bumps I'm more referring too are the lovely cracks in the road that developed over time(and never got fixed). I also got the idea from some individuals with GU Patrols running 17 clicks of Low Speed Compression. I figured I would give it a shot and...

Well I'm back again with an update. So I was still fighting the whole adjustment settings on the MRR Shocks and Struts and I may have finally gotten somewhere and figured I would share. Now keep in mind that the MRR from Dobinsons is a 3 way adjustable Shock and Strut(depending on application...

I think you misunderstand this entire forum. Expedition Portal focuses more on off-road type travel versus staying on the street. Yes off-road type travel can include dirt roads that are pretty easy and a basic car could go on, but chances are they're going to be more remote than most paved...

One who is hitting the trails will have something better than a $15 fuel container. Chances are they will spend a bit more on something that is actually going to hold up to abuse and probably have it filled before a trip starts so they can guarantee a longer trip without having to get more fuel.

Still keep in mind the overall terrain. It will be the biggest affecting attribute to how well it will do. Thankfully the CB Radio in Australia is very close to GMRS on wavelength. Ronny Dahl in Western Australia did a test between the 2.1 Dbi and 6.6 Dbi Antenna just to see how each would...

Has to do with how the signal is projected. Not to say the the 6.6 Dbi is bad necessarily, but more of the fact that if you are in more hilly situations the 2.1 Dbi will be best since it cast more of a ball type signal vs the 6.6 Dbi that is suited more for flat open terrain as it cast a much...

Interesting to know. I wasn't aware that many were link that up there, but then again the US probably has more than the usual 24 gas(separate of the convenience store) due to ready technicians just in case

Well if anything I can confirm I have the tank ordered. The rough timeline to have it here is early to mid December. After it's here the install will happen.

Regardless if you have the Medium Duty or Heavy Duty Antenna, I would recommend having both the 2.1 Dbi and 6.6 Dbi Antenna. You will find both to have their place and it's easy to change on the road

More or less yes. With my experience with the MXT275(15 Watt) and the MXT575(50 Watt), the range was there, but the sound quality wasn't. With my GME I won't argue that the Range isn't as much especially with the 2.1Dbi Antenna, but the Sound Quality is Fantastic! I also like the Volume Control...
