I've had a pair of the 968s on the front of my ZJ for a few years now and have been very happy with them. They've held up well, and with the dual reflector design they put out a nice spread of light with the stock 55w bulbs. I find them to be especially useful in the mountains at night where...

Here are some meals from a Dusy trip a while back: Chicken wings, vegetables, and couscous. As we were eating it started to lightly snow. Marinated steak, rice, Caesar salad, and grilled corn on the cob. - Matt

I've been running a S&B on my ZJ for about 4 years with no major issues. As with K&N filters they may let a little very fine dust through if it's really dusty outside, so you might want to consider a pre-filter. - Matt

Hmm.. sounds just about ready for a diesel swap. :)

HenryJ, I completely understand your concerns about making sure tanks of flammable gas are visible in or on the vehicle. One of my roommates is a contractor and usually has a tank or two of acetylene in the back of his truck. Two months ago there was a car fire in our neighborhood, and his...

It's sounding like there is no good option for propane storage in an SUV. Since the tank has to be mounted vertically it would be very difficult to fit it under the truck, and on the roof I'd be worried about exposure, wind resistance, and the chance of it hitting a low-hanging tree branch. It...

I've always felt that the 16oz green cylinders are an inelegant way to transport propane, mainly because they have a small capacity and cannot legally be refilled. A 1 gallon (4.5lb) re-fillable tank seems to be a great solution, but I'm a bit concerned about transportation. These types of...

Shoot, I wish I had run across this thread earlier, I could have saved you some time. I spent over a week discussing the truck with the owner via email and over the phone, at first he made it sound like the only issue was the cracked windshield but over time the other "small" items such as the...

I think they were taking my "diesel SUV" query very literally and not including trucks. :) - Matt

Sport's Authority has aluminum poles that extend from 4' to 8' for ~$8 each. - Matt

Hey Josh, trailer looks good! - Matt

Since the damping force exerted in the vertical-axis is dependent on the angle of the shock, mounting shocks designed for the factory orientation at a higher angle will cause them to provide different damping than intended. Of course as mentioned this gets difficult to calculate since the...

ZooJunkie, I heard about and saw pictures of the huge amount of trash left on the trail, that was horrible. Big kudos to all of you for cleaning up! After diagnosing and replacing a seized thermostat we decided that it was too late to catch up with you guys, so we went wine tasting in Murphy's...

vengeful, I've been debating the same issue for a while, here's where I'm at. My 96 Jeep ZJ has never been very reliable, and a few weekends ago it failed yet again while on a trip (ZooJunkie, I was the Jeep that "disappeared" on the way to Sourgrass). After researching the available options...

Here are some recent (this week) responses to emails I sent to Jeep, Nissan, and Toyota asking about diesels. Nothing that gives me much hope for diesel SUVs in the US market any time soon. Toyota ----------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize; we do not...

I think this was in Capital Reef State Park. San Juan Islands - Matt
