    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    You nailed it! The RTT will be centered over the axles and the 100qt cooler goes on the rear. So the heavy stuff is centered and rearward. I was also concerned about tight corners, dips and breakovers but it hasn't been an issue so far. I have some experience with 50/50ish trailers and find that...

    Here's my work in progress. .. First naked behind the LJ adventure Jeep: and behind the freeway cruiser WK2: The next phase is to mount the RTT to it and then start with the "systems". Water, PPX, Battery, etc. It also serves as basecamp/firewood hauler for snow runs. As it turns out, I...

    Gear and Locker Question

    If you are running an automatic, disregard all advice on gearing. Your year has a .69:1 overdrive. With 35s, you want either 4.88 or 5.13. 4.56 or 4.88 will be fine with the 6 speed. No one has ever complained about too low of gearing in a late TJ.

    Tow Vehicle Dilemma for Popup

    LS motor or go a different direction for camping. Hemi swaps are a waste of money compared to an LS and forced induction adds a lot of complexity.

    Colombia: Just for the FARC of it!

    I spent a fair amount of time in Barrancabermeja in the last couple of years. It isn't the "eternal springtime" of Bogota. The exact opposite but the people and the culture are just fantastic. Can't wait for pics. Especially interested if you get down in the Magdalena valley. Such a...

    Right now I just have a harbor freight 12v high volume compressor. It actually works really well. However, I was used to AC compressor OBA in my last Jeep so I am getting that together.

    Camp lighting? 12v or mains via inverter?

    I use one of the amazon/chinese LED light bars as a camp light. 6 LEDs and 18W works great. In fact, it is almost too bright.

    CP3 - meet the heep! 5 years in the making...

    This is very cool. Can't wait to see what you do with the roof and the rest of the interior. I'm taking a completely different route with my XJ expo project, but this is inspiration for another one I have kicking around in the stable.

    Expedition overland article on not getting "Jeeping"

    This is akin to the "muscle powered" elite looking down on motorized recreation. I really don't care if he "got it" or not, but taking pictures of trash that he should have picked up and talking about "no real destination or purpose" shows that same, very negative attitude that is going to...
