    Tippy JK with RTT and rack, need professional advice!

    Teraflex swaybars and a full-on OME-Heavy lift. Wheels with 4.5" bs, 33s, sleeve/gusset the front axle. Replace anything worn up front. Synergy has some neat little springs if you don't want to gain the altitude, just add fenders/wheels/tires. BTW, for that much weight, I wouldn't be...

    New must-have Dutch oven accessory?

    Interesting first post.... Welcome to the forum. What's a "woot" other than what Arsenio Hall used to shout on his show?

    LED work light on a tire carrier, options to think about?

    I'm using little LED truck-bed lights from Walmart $10 and an old fire alarm 12/7 rechargeable agm battery. Portable schmortable.

    Discreet camper

    Get an old ambulance and have Chris build you a killer 4wd system for it. http://www.ujointoffroad.com/ Put bio-hazardous waste stickers on the outside and nobody will come near you.

    LED work light on a tire carrier, options to think about?

    I wouldn't get the 1400 lumen beast ---- the glare gets a bit busy on the brain... Look here: http://extremeledlightbars.com/2-led-light-pod-900-lumens They also have a neat little wiring gizmo that lets you turn it on remotely. I have two of their 1440 lm pods on the front of the Jeep for 1.5...

    Thoughts on new AEV RAM?

    Get a Power Wagon and then call these guys. http://www.carlisuspension.com/dodge-ram/index.html AEV is like the shirt with the alligator on it... There are better shirts available. No gator.

    Headlamp assemblies

    Yeah; FIAT has a better ethic about vehicular lighting than Muther Chrysler did. The projectors are pretty darn good.

    New must-have Dutch oven accessory?

    I plan on using the heck outta it. Perfect little gizmo for life out of the teardrop trailer. It will make it much easier to cook on top of my little aluminum tables.

    Headlamp assemblies

    You tried Hella what? Bulbs? They're not good at all. Hella doesn't make them, just rebrands a house-brand bulb.

    in need of a new camp axe or hatchet

    I've been using a Home Depot maul for 10 years and it works fine. My small axe is an Estwing Camper's and I keep it sharp. Good combo and didn't break the bank. I also have a Fiskars pruning saw in the kit and a Sven Saw. Saws usually make easier work of logs. Anybody that knows my wife...

    Little Guy Teardrop Rough Rider Build

    We've been using our Silver Shadow Rough Rider for 5 years now and I'll venture a guess that you'll find those gizmo bars in front of the doors to be a bit in the way...

    LED Light Bar Hesitation

    Sounds like the culprit. What brand of relay, what are the specs, what vehicle, and what power source as the trip to the relay? A PWM signal screws with the magnet in most relays.

    Making a JKU fun in the Highway (speed) parts of an Expedition?

    I'm with you. If he has wheels with less backspacing, there is excessive scrub radius causing the front to wander ---- need to deviate a bit from OE spec and toe-in a little bit to compensate. Under dampening also compounds that; better shocks needed. Gears will make it peppy; 4.10s are perfect...

    Chainmail scrubber

    I use an anodized aluminum Dutch oven. I just wipe it out with a paper towel and then boil a little water in it... I'd like a chainmail shirt though, Jim. Why did you make one? RenFest?
