I have absolutely no doubt that that could occur. I have abused mine enough to push it up into the tank... but that was with serious rockcrawling. I think for MOST users, a factory gas tank skid is more than sufficient.

First, the last thing the CARB and EPA need is more of my money (just my opinion). Second, if my vehicle passes the emissions test, why does it matter WHAT intake, exhaust, or header I have? They don't need to do independent testing on every aftermarket product, they just need to enforce the...

I have no problem with clean emissions - just the way it's being brought about and the draconian regulations. I'm not sure about Oregon, but here in California I am sick and tired of being told what to do and how to handle anything even related to an internal combustion engine regardless of how...

I am a huge fan of Diesel motors, and would like to see them in many more applications here in the US. However, I stumbled across "Diesel Exhaust Fluid" the other day in a truck stop. Maybe this stuff is old news, but I couldn't believe my eyes... I thought it was a joke, like blinker fluid or...

I have put a pretty serious beating on my factory metal gas tank skid out of a 90 Limited. I drug it through the Rubicon and Fordyce multiple times - and it shows... While there are certainly more robust options out there, the factory metal skid has been surprisingly effective for me. That...

Unless you have a zombie problem where you live, I just don't see the need ;). Bar none, the best advice in this thread - in my opinion. Other than that, I would highly recommend the same that most others have mentioned before your first big outing in a semi-remote place: Full size spare...

Bingo. People give me funny looks when they see leafs on the front... Actually people look at me like I am some kinda fool. But the reality is that I spent a bunch of money on Axles - Completely rebuilt D44's front and rear with Disk brakes all the way around, hy-steer, 5.13's, ARB's in...

I'm no shock guru, so maybe I am WAY off... but I am a little amazed by the everyones opinions. I have no doubt that the Fox's are a better shock... but HOW much better? Also, I don't know the specifics of your truck, or how you intend to use it... but I am assuming it see's a bunch of...

I built up my jeep as a crawler, but now with two kids my focus is making it more reliable and more street friendly (and actually getting out of the garage for the 1st time in 2 years). I'm not giving up the 35's and lockers... but it needs some serious attention to make it the safe family...

OK - which one of you overlanding aficionado's chose this as your preferred Axe Mounting option? You never know when you might need some firewood...

Just as I expected, I started a poo-storm with my comment. With a few exceptions, everyone seems to favor an Axe... but I'm not convinced yet. Everyone's primary argument seems to be they are the best tool (excluding a Chainsaw) for doing firewood collection. Second would be for clearing...

Requires, or recommends? I just did some real quick poking around on the FS website and didn't find any language requiring these items... only recommending. If you can find it, I'd love to see it... I just went to look for my campfire permit from last year to see if it was on there, but I...

No question, a chainsaw it the best solution. It's just a rarity that a chainsaw is warranted (for me)... With that said, a quality bowsaw can cut with impressive speed and surprisingly little effort. I think the intent of my question may be getting lost here... If you are going out for a...

OK, I'm sold... who can recommend a quality axe :sombrero:

I'd rather split my firewood with a hydraulic splitter and take some with me as opposed to spending my evenings in camp chopping... Obviously, my approach has drawbacks... But a lot of where I travel doesn't have suitable fuel wood laying around, so I find myself almost always taking some wood...

In my relatively short time as a part of this community, I have seen a number of posts and pictures where someone has an axe mounted next to their shovel or hi-lift. To be honest - what for? I have spent plenty of time in the woods using a chainsaw, bow saw, hatchet, folding saw, or a...

There are a lot of decent compressors out there from $50 to $500. What you need depends a lot on what you intend to do. For example, on my "rockcrawler", I run both an ARB compressor and a engine driven compressor. The ARB runs lockers and the belt driven compressor is for airing up tires on...

The last thing you need is another opinion, but here goes. Sounds like you are leaning toward ditching the cruiser. I would think looong and hard about the motorcycle route. If your looking for free places to overnight along your adventures, you can boondock at Walmarts, truckstops, and rest...

Wow... interesting turn of events in this saga. Phil - I have been checking this thread daily finding encouragement with every mile you travel. I am finding inspiration in your adventure. Whatever happens, please keep posting with your adventure and don't be discouraged. I find it...

Nice looking XJ, very clean. I have never paid that much attention to the ARB bumpers and was very surprised that it really doesn't have any recovery points... kinda blows me away. I realize this statement is ancient history by now, but I have trouble letting it pass: Cutting a coil changes...
