    Living for 6 months in the trailer?

    As others have said it all depends on your attitude. For short amount of time I can see it being totally viable honestly. I lived out of the back of my grand cherokee for two months. (I wore out my welcome where I was staying and the semester wasn't quite over yet, try finding a place to stay...

    Hubs - Manual vs Lock-O-Matic

    My first vehicle was a '72 Scout II.......it had some sort of automatic hubs that were probably factory. If I remember right I had the one year only Scout II D30 front (don't quote me on that) Long story short the hubs never worked......... Automatic hubs are a cool idea but it seems to me they...

    If you listen closely I think you can hear their spines crushing:Wow1: So cool how they drove one into a canvas tarp, folded it up and floated it accross a river! I haven't seen that before.

    Air Options...

    Just my experience with my CO2 set up I have right now................. I liked that it was fairly cheap initially. You can just buy a beverage CO2 tank, a regulator, a hose and a fire extinguisher bracket and you have essentially the same set up as other "store bought" CO2 systems for less that...

    Ha ha its funny your seriously thinking of changing from your YJ to a WJ now...........i did exactly the opposite!:elkgrin: I built my WJ for rockcrawling and quickly got tired of the single purpose nature of a rock truck. Then a YJ fell into my lap for a good deal so I kinda went a new...

    Oil weight for 4.0L-- 15W40 in Australia?

    Cant tell ya what the Jeep manuals specify for the Australian market but I can tell you I use to run 15w-40 Shell Rotella 9 months out of the year in my 4.0. No ill effects that I am aware of in the 50,000ish miles I put on with it in. In fact its what I run in my both 2.5L four poppers now. (it...

    Inner tube for trail/BFE repair?

    We use the same basic repair on ripped sidewalls all the time. Except instead of a coffee can we just apply a large patch over the area and run a tube. (then we quit running cheap chinese tires and haven't needed to in years) Tubes can be a little trickier to find at places that service car/...

    Action packer Baja Bin

    I have to say that I haven't seen this mount before but I love it! I realize its a lot of money to spend securing a cheap box but just because the box is cheap doesn't mean its all bad. You try witnessing an accident and being first on the scene where the passenger was decapitated by improperly...

    Factory Testing?

    Changing to full synthetic seems to help a lot in the cold! On both of my YJ's changed to a full synthetic, made a huge difference! No more unhappy syncromeshes:bike_rider: On our family farm we still occasionally light fires under our tractors to get them going to plow snow. Take a coffee can...

    Recomended Rugged/Tough Phones

    Not trying to revive a dead thread here........but I have been more than pleased with my verizon boulder phone! Tough as nails! At work I left it on top of a tractor engine (was listening to music while changing the oil) totally forgot about it and hopped in to start the motor:Wow1: OOPS! It...

    Latches for Tire Carrier Swing Out Arm

    I used this same latch (minus the secondary saftey.......wish I had seen them before!) never had a rattle or even the hint of one. They are a bit spendy but they work and they are built to last!

    YJ Wrangler Expedition project

    Sounds exactly what happened to my AX5! This was a few years ago but the local dealership and paid $500-600 for it. However next time I know its an easy fix as long as you dont find lots of metal in the oil. Its seriously as easy as taking off the t-case, unbolting the rear case half and replace...

    Water bottle shower?

    For a few summers I lived in an old motor home without running water. The water bottle shower works pretty good but it just didn't feel like enough water to really get feeling clean. Usually I used a couple of two liter bottles with a hole poked in the lid. Sometimes I just poured water on...

    Using a Hybrid trailer as an onroad/offroad platform?

    Having worked at a local trailer repair place the "quality" of most travel trailers being built now flat out are poor. WAY too much pressed particle board, glue instead of screw and other piss poor techniques being used in them now! Instead of drilling holes oftentimes they just smash the head...

    YJ Wrangler Expedition project

    Same thing happened to me one day on the way to work. There is one snap ring on the main shaft (or counter shaft I cant remember) that breaks and the the gear slips back on the main shaft. It was a relatively cheap fix (so long as bits of that snap ring just settled down to the bottom of the...
