Bought a 2024 Ram 2500 last week. Planning to keep it pretty minimalistic build wise. Can anyone recommend a fiberglass camper shell? I was looking at SNUGTOP but I honestly don't know.

So guys, big updates. First off, haven't been on forums in forever and just took a break since I was in no position to do any fun travels or what not. Second off, I finished my M.S. in geology with a focus in igneous petrology and volcanology of the Pliocene volcanic debris-avalanche deposits...

Love my Coopers, they wear like iron and ride well. Currently have around 40k miles on them and probably still have ~40% tread.

Sorry been MIA from forums for quite a minute. I adore my '94 Takedown. My only slight regret is the caliber (.38-55) due to the price and difficulty to find but is a very easy cartridge to reload in a pinch. Cheers fellow geo!

I would call Dirk at DPG Offroad. The man is a Jeep suspension guru and probably can get you set up with a really sweet custom suspension. Tell him exactly how you plan to build your Jeep and he'll do the rest.

I know the name. Him and waterdog (may he rest in peace) were the go to guys for help on anything TJ related. Those guys knew too much for their own good about TJs. I've heard the horror stories of trying any sensors other than OEM so I have no intention of changing that. I have the NGK TPS...

I've always been a fan of the Frogs and look forward to starting up this fall. The Jeep...well it's being a pain in my ass. Terrible transmission noise comes now it heats up and is in neutral. Noise goes away with the clutch depressed. I'd say throwout bearing or pilot bearing but both...

Yup, the TPS sensor is Mopar and the MAP sensor is like a NGK or something like that

Jeep is officially back from the shop. New clutch kit, rear main, and pinion seal complete. Ended up needing to replace the entire clutch, the old throwout bearing had begun to tear up the pressure plate. Prior to dropping the Jeep off at the shop, I did replace the rear brakes; rotors, pads...

Current situation: throwout bearing has gone out, confused computer that borderline stalls because it can't find a good idle rpm once warmed up, VERY leaky rear main, and a VERY leaky front pinion seal. - new TPS and MAP sensor to help see if we fix our confused computer - new rear brake rotors...

Thank you. One of the research areas is in Namibia and we would be using Land Cruisers for the better part of 6 weeks. That being said, this project is likely to fall through due to severe droughts.

Been lurking a bit, nothing important really going on. Simply been saving money, however I did get to visit Scotland for a few days and see a lot of the Highlands. Lots of Defenders to look at also. Saw some cool WWII batteries, visited 3 distilleries, castles, and even hiked to a B-24...

I wish their TJ tanks worked with my year model.

I would say 100k is more than your money's worth out of shocks and springs. It will be worth replacing them at this point.

I guess you could bring in a takedown model reasonably concealed and then take the minute or two to assemble it...because that is entirely practical

I'm a sucker for lever-actions (owner of a Win '94 Takedown in .38-55). Talk about a great palate of power between the two.

They are factory control arms so non-adjustable. Might be possible that the bushings might be shot.

Check out Natural State Overland, Randy might know a thing or two

Just want to throw an update into the mix. I plan to move back to Texas in May. Arizona hasn't panned out to how I hoped. Hardly was able to explore the beautiful areas around, the job has not been great, and I unfortunately did not get into the graduate program I wanted for next fall. Next step...

Damn that really sucks. I figured people like me are a minority for a single cab but I was hoping they would at least make a few models two door or even make it available to order from factory. Oh well, maybe the 4 door will grow on me. Thanks Dan. Hope everything is cruising better in your...
