    I just need to boil water for coffee, what stove?

    Love that Lodge Hibatchi, gotta get one of those. Stanley PMI has a couple of new coffee pots now to go with their small stainless steel cook kits.

    Is a stock Sport ok for Overlanding??

    No, you cannot do the Rubicon with a bone stock Jeep. Not unless you don't mind significant body damage and and being towed and strapped up hills and over obstacles. I ran it last week in a 2013 JKU Sport rolling on 33"s, skid plates, rock sliders, and with ARB Air Lockers and I'd put my Jeep...

    JKU Tire Opinions?

    Nena Barlow at Barlow Jeeps in Sedona raves about the A/T3Ws. Durtracs have a bad reputation for sidewall weakness.

    Fording Depth vs. Snorkel Height

    Ever drive through several miles of 6-12" deep "moon dust"? Dirt the consistency of fine talcum powder? Dirt that billows and flows around the vehicle with all of the dynamics of a boat moving through waves? Your eastern seaboard experience is not the equal of all the conditions in other...

    Jeep JKU rear storage system that includes dedicated freedom panel space

    I get it, absolutely. The soft panel bag does offer quite a bit of utility and flexibility. It can be placed just about anywhere. Last time we used it it fit between the vertical mesh cargo divider and the cooler we have behind the rear seats, which we run folded most of the time. I run a...

    Jeep JKU rear storage system that includes dedicated freedom panel space

    I do a fair bit of overlanding, off-roading, and a wee bit of rock-crawling in our JKU. We have a dedicated fridge slider, storage Boxes for this and that, and bags for whatever. What I have never considered a pressing need for was a dedicated space for the freedom panels. If I feel a need...

    Mine arrived today. I am leaving for the Rubicon on Wednesday but probably won't be able to install it until our return.

    JKU Lift/Wheel/Tire combo Sanity Check

    My recommendation, after starting with the Teraflex 2.5" lift, is to go Old Man Emu with the 300lb front/600lb rear overload springs, which is what makes up my suspension now.

    JKU Lift/Wheel/Tire combo Sanity Check

    Not to mention, the weight per tire penalty at each corner going 315/35 versus 285 is about 12 pounds on average. That's a 12 pound penalty in a larger rolling mass. That affects both acceleration and braking efficiency in a significant manner.

    COOPER DISCOVERER - Trying to enter the Maze of Canyonlands ending in failure

    I was thinking they might be P rated, as many pickups come with P rated tires instead of LT tires to provide a plus ride and increase mileage by a sliver. On the Jeep forums the Duratracs are both reviled for their weak sidewalls and universally praised for their soft ride and excellent...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - Trying to enter the Maze of Canyonlands ending in failure

    What does it say on the sidewalls of those Goodyears? What is the tire size? Does it start with "P"?

    JKU - Improving Utility of MBRP Roof Rack (w/ Extension)

    For those running a snorkel, MBRP offers a different rack extension that utilizes the A-pillar mounts for a light bar as the forward tie-in. Looking at the forward "box" it appears the ability to remove the roof panels has been lost.

    Sidewall patches do not hold long, too much flex.

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Week before last I had ARB AirLockers installed but a mix-up in the shipment of my diff covers delayed their installation so this weekend, armed with the correct color ARB covers, a set of Lube-Locker gaskets and a bushel basket full of Royal Purple lubricants I swapped out the covers, front and...
