    How about a surplus HMMWV platform?

    Having lived out of a turtleback I'd have to say they'd make a horrible Expo rig. Cramped, uncomfortable seating (doesn't matter which of the four seats, they all suck), not to mention loud and very inefficient with fuel. I can think dozens of other, more suitable options.

    Goodyear Duratrac AT?

    The new Falken A/T3W's are highly regarded and come in at a price point much lower than Duratracs.

    Hard wiring a fridge

    If you have a Jeep JK without the powered sub-woofer, Jeep was generous enough to go ahead and run the wiring anyway, including a fused location at the TIPM. The fuse can be switched to either full-on battery power or ignition power. Right now I can't remember the fuse location but I'm sure it...

    Hard wiring a fridge

    If you download the installation instructions for the Mopar 7-Pin trailer wiring harness, the routing/installation for that will give you all the answers you need. When I installed mine I added the ARB wiring to the harness and routed it all at the same time...

    E-Locker switch location 2014 2DR JK

    Go with either the A-pillar location or an SPod, the location you prefer is liable to accidental switch activation, not a good thing with lockers.

    JK expedition springs

    With how much weight on board? Winch, and winch bumper? Fridge, water, and fuel for several days? This is the point of the OP's discussion of overload/heavy capacity springs.

    5 tire rotation chart or method

    That is not correct. Steering tires wear different than drive tires. For example, swapping steering and drive tires side to side on the same axle would be pointless.

    Airstream is back with the Base Camp trailer

    It's a shame it's lost the rear clamshell doors and the ramp.

    JKU Tire Opinions?

    Great tire but sadly has a very limited size availability.

    Ozark Trail "High Performance" cooler - any good?

    I gotcha. In the event you need to, the store on Arizona Ave is 5 minutes up the San Tan from Awatukee!

    Ozark Trail "High Performance" cooler - any good?

    The 1 73qt and the three 26qt were at the Chandler Walmart on Arizona Ave. near the 202.

    Fording Depth vs. Snorkel Height

    Smart move on your part, shutting it down to prevent hydro-locking and destroying that motor. People may make fun of my AEV snorkel but having crossed Afton Canyon a couple of times during winter storms I call it, "CHEAP INSURANCE".

    Ozark Trail "High Performance" cooler - any good?

    They ARE out there! I scored a 52qt today in Phoenix. We went to AZ for the long weekend. I got online and checked stock in the local area for the Ozark Trail coolers; none of any size were showing available anywhere in the county. While there I took a chance and checked a couple of Walmarts...

    JK expedition springs

    I ditched my Teraflex 2.5 springs a couple of years ago and went with the OMEs. Their Outback springs weren't available yet.

    Captain Texas Anvil JKU build

    Take a hard look at the Warn Elite bumper. I got mine delivered to the door, all in for $550.00. It is similar in appearance but significantly more robust that the AEV.

    JKU Tire Opinions?

    I like that tread pattern.

    Trailer tires at vs mud

    It's a trailer, the lower rolling resistance the better. There is no need for a traction tire on a trailer, get a good set of A/Ts.

    JKU as a family overland vehicle

    My wife and I do multi day trips in our JKU, with just the two of us we fill it up. Twice this year we've rented a SoCal Teardrop from Off the Grid Rentals. It is so nice to be able to cross load bags and gear to the trailer! With kids I think the teardrop with a roof top tent would be the...

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    For those thinking trailer brakes the Tekonsha Prodigy wireless is the only way to go. No in-cab controller needed, everything is on the trailer. Perfect for a trailer of this weight range. I rented a teardrop with this setup a couple of times and you have no feeling at all that the trailer...
