Curious if you have a recommendation for a good battery choice for my camper project. This will live in a removable power box on the trailer. Primary charging is via the jeep while traveling and by 45w solar if needed in camp. Primary use is to run a few LED lights and an Indel B 50 q. Fridge...

Wife and I are debating fridge vs. high end cooler. Part of that discussion comes down to size, or rather capacity. We currently operate out of a Coleman Extreme 50 quart cooler adn it has enough room for us. I usually supplement with a small cooler for beer as well, which I think we will...

After much debate and discussion regarding building an off road trailer, perhaps with a RTT, we have decided that the best route for us is to continue to use the Rockwood 1640 pop up. Ours is a relatively simple tent trailer, without ac, stove or fridge. We like it that way. With this...

I am in search for a rim for my trailer to use as a spare tire. It appears to have what I think are stock 16", narrow rims. I want t keep the stock axle in place, so need a rim for a spare. Any sources would be great. John

I am at the very start of a trailer build/rebuild/restomod kind of thing with my Bantam TC3. I would like to pull the axle and mount an axle that has matching lug pattern to my 2005 LJ. I have read bad reviews on the axles I can pick up semi locally, from Northern Tool and Tractor Supply -...

Yesterday spent some time putting together a new sheath for my favorite knife. This old fixed blade was bought by my mother when she was a teen. She asked her Dad for a knife and he tried to disuade her by saying "you'll have to buy it with your own money"... Instead that persuaded her to get...

As title states, I am in need of one, possibly two 33x9.50x15 all terrain tread tires. Happy to pay shipping for the right deal. Thanks John

Little celebration for the first deer of the season!:) About a 200 yard shot, .308 Winchester silvertip, from my tree lounger climbing stand. Shot left just below shoulder, passed through to right, also right below shoulder. Climbed down and found him in the woods, maybe 50 yards from the...

Looks like my beloved Corps has been lurking here on the Expo site :smiley_drive: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/article/20140924/NEWS04/309240077/Marine-Corps-develops-new-equipment-built-Osprey?sf31587048=1 Cool stuff and makes sense to me considering the electronic support used on todays...

I have these Skid Row skids. My jeeping has moved away from rock crawling, etc... so I am getting rid of these. I had these on my 2003 Rubicon and my 2005 LJ Rubicon. They are used and used hard. Thick heavy duty steel. Engine skid has slight bend but does not interfere with mounting or use...

Hey all, I am an experienced rifle hunter for white tail deer. I am looking to also incorporate bow hunting this season, as the season is much longer and I would get an early start. I also like the perceived simplicity of the bow. Years ago I built a self bow and had fun shooting it, although...

This is a very beefy rear bumper with tire carrier combo. It is made especially for the LJ since it has underbody protection at the rear corners that extend to the wheel well. To put on a TJ you would trim that underbody protection. This review will give you an idea of what I am talking...

Looking for what's next... for me? I have been riding since 1990... some road but mostly MTB. I started with a steel fully rigid trek and have run the gamut from there to front susp, to full susp, back to hardtail, to now singlespeed. Currently riding a steel frame On One Summer Season, steel...

As of this Friday my wife and I will be the proud owners of a 2004 Tacoma 4 door prerunner. We are happy to have it, as even though it has clearly seen some "truck" use... it has only 70k miles. What I am looking for is info on a locker for the rear. I come from the Jeep world and have...

While I have taken small game with a .22 revolver before, I never used a handgun on deer until yesterday. I had not really planned on it, but an opportunity arose as I was out and about on the farm early yesterday morning before heading to work. 6 deer were browsing through the edge of the...

We have approx. six weeks of deer season left here in NC (Eastern). I have always been a ground hunter. I am considering putting up a stand or two on the 105 acres I have access to. I hunt primarily rifle, but on Sundays break out the crossbow. The areas I hunt are hilly and hardwoods. I am...

Happy to report my first buck of the season. Gun season in eastern NC started last Saturday. I had to work for the morning and had a cousin's son's 1 year old bday party to go to for lunch. On the way home I told Ann I would like to head out for a little hunting time. We live on 45 acres and...

My wife and I have been camping for a long time. A few years ago we bought a Rockwood pop up to get our "aging":) bodies up off the ground... a bit of comfort, a bit of ease for taking off for shorter 2 - 4 day trips. Here she is (the pop up, not the wife...) Joe wanted me to include a...

Checked out this D90 today in Sanford, NC... too much for my checkbook but thought someone might be interested; http://www.cheathamandcheatham.com/1995-LandRover-Defender90/Used-SUV/Sanford-NC/6469/3414675/Details.aspx John

My son's 2000 TJ is overheating. It has 140k miles and other than this, runs like a top. Overheating happens when sitting still. You can hear the coolant boiling when engine is turned off. It seems as though the fan is operating correctly. Coolant is correct color/consistency. I have...
