    Why do folks say, "Jeeps aren't expedition vehicles?"

    I've never driven a YJ, but I did drive a CJ for years and an Army M151A1 for years and learned to drive in a Willy's. All very capable solid vehicles. I'm glad YOU like YOUR LC.

    Loss of coolant on Miss Rubi, our 2012 JKUR.

    Thought / idea / from experience and worth a try. Where the temp sensor attaches, sometimes there is a small pin leak around the threads. The leak will be so small and the engine heat will be enough that the coolant will burn off. It may be hard to see / detect. Set there and stare at it...

    Budget recovery tools

    That!s the way to think of it, an adventure! The thing for me that takes the fun out of traveling is a tight schedule. Make sure you take some leave to add to your allowed travel time. Take your time and try to stay off the interstates. There is so much more to see and enjoy. Good luck!

    Why do folks say, "Jeeps aren't expedition vehicles?"

    Versatile TJ build

    I really like the TJ platform for Overlanding. I think it has the right combination of rugged utility and modern creature comforts. I drive a 2004 TJL. Perfect.... No. IMHO.... The best for me .... Yes.

    Overlanding Tires

    And my 2¢'s worth is that it sounds like there are a lot of really great tires out there. The tire industry has responded very well to our Overlanding vehicle community needs. And as with any other piece of equipment there are trade offs and compromises. I really like my Cooper S/T's. There...

    Best overall tire suited for Overlanding/Expo?

    Resurecting an old thread here... As I have read all the posts in this thread, I come away with the overall impression that most folks like the tire they currently have. That makes sense as they made the tire decision before laying out their hard earned money. I also coming away with a group...
