I can provide an apples-to-apples comparison. But I will acknowledge both vehicles feature an older generation of engines. (My diesel is pre-DEF, and I know newer HEMI's have much better fuel economy. So here's some totally non-scientific anecdotal information. I own two Jeep Grand Cherokees...

Yeah they're surprisingly small inside. The interior trim hides a lot of empty space behind and under the panels, in favor of making the inside look nice. Plus the boxy shape favors the wrangler over the sharply sloped hatch of the grand.

When I was looking into riding my Concours 14 to Alaska a few years back, I quickly came to the realization that a KLR650 would be a much better choice. The popularity and common-ness of it means finding parts may be much easier/quicker than some other brands, should the need arise. It was...

I guess I saw two of these for sale at a Kalispell dealership. Caught my attention for sure. But I didn't check the price tag.

For the record, I wish you would do the side opening lid on all your models. I love my small 28L, but I never liked the long door opening hitting the ceiling of my vehicle. Loading up, or pulling food out always required holding up the door with one hand. Now with a slide its technically...

I have a Dometic 28L, that I've been running basically 24/7 since 2016. Other than the compressor being a little louder than it was when brand new, it runs flawlessly. Size-wise... I'm a solo traveler, so I only carry supplies for myself. Typically I carry all my lunch supplies during the week...

If you look closely, he only has the load cell attached to the top truck in the single line pull. For all other pulls, he's put the load cell on the anchored leg of the winch line. Which is why I say he should only be seeing 50% or less of the total static load.

There are companies out there who can modify your steel wheels to change offset, and other things. Steel wheels and customizing them are very common in the circle track world. I have a pair of very custom 16"x10" wheels for a VW Kaman Ghia. Cost about $90 a wheel. It may be possible to simply...

I would like to see him repeat his testing, but on a nice even concrete slope, and with two lead cells. I saw this video awhile back, and the numbers didn't jive for me either. (I'm the commenter XPGhia) Personally I think there's a total load variable, like a rock partially inhibiting the...

Personal choice? Stay with studs, and no threaded holes in the spacers. Reason? Just in case someone else ends up doing work on your vehicle, and they are ham-fisted, it's easier to swap a stud than re-thread a spacer. (my work history involves racing. lots of volunteer hands on the cars. ;) )

I know this isn't really what you're looking for. But it's an impressive company working with natural fibers. http://www.bcomp.ch/en/products/automotive

My camper! In action!

That's a GREAT pic!

Frankly I think it's a misspoke statement on the inline engine. Later in the article they also state the diesel option as an inline 6, and everyone already knows the 3.0L eco-diesel is a V6.

I like that side opening design! In checking out Amazon from your link I'm amazed at how many options there are now days! I've had my Dometic 28L for a few years now, and I like to keep it at 36f.

messing around on the Rubicon Trail. and camping there too!

Yeah, my thought was that if the stock ECM from the CRD wasn't able to wire up/communicate with the JK properly, I'd plan to do it the way you're thinking. But it would have to be a 2008, as the '07 has a lower CANBUS bit rate. I'm dreaming that the protocol was standard across the platforms AND...
