Definitely some road-dog traveling. I'm also a bit envious and look forward to reading your stories of how it all goes. I did a trip from Austin to Miami, through the Everglades and back to Austin in my TJ topless about 3 years ago - Ended up being around 3000 miles of sunburned pleasure. I've...

Slap Ya Mama is something I use in just about everything. I also carry around a pepper mill, a salt mill, and then I have a molcajete for making a fresh ground spice mix wherever I am. I prefer using herbs (fresh preferably, dried otherwise). I use alot of rosemary, thyme, oregano, cumin...

I've done a different version of that several times. I just core out the apple, put some cream cheese, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon inside and put it directly on the grill over hot coals. If you happen to have any butterscotch schnapps and/or Bailey's handy, it's pretty tasty if you baste...

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Petra looks like such an amazing place.

Good to know, thanks. I have no light at all working on this one - another thing to track down and fix. So far it's been running well. We like it!

I got the part and a couple quarts of diff lube. Filled it, drove it around the block and then checked the level again. Added a bit more. I couldn't get the front diff plug to budge. Of course the fact that I was lying in a puddle of ice water with sleet falling on me may have contributed to my...

Thanks, y'all. I'll check the vent tube. The tires are all the same, checked the pressure yesterday - passenger rear has a slow leak, so I'll have to stay on top of that. I'll check the linkage and all the fluids and since this thing has been sitting, maybe I'll just park it for a few days and...

My inlaws just gave us a 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo with Selec-Trac and the I-6. 151,xxx miles overall in really good shape. It's been well maintained. They told us of a couple electrical issues - some kind of onboard computer thing that is dead and it also occasionally dies temporarily but...

I like it. My '04 Rubi is rapidly moving toward occasional use/project status. Something like this would be a very educational/productive way to keep me occupied. Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year.

I have the VIAIR heavy duty kit (P/N 10005) installed on my TJ. It's a 33% duty cycle, but it's been more than adequate for my use. Most of the time it gets used to top up my motorcycle tires or my bicycle. I've also filled up a few car tires from time to time when someone needs a hand. It was...

I've had a winch on my Jeep for several years now. Never used it. I've got a TJ Rubicon so I've got selectable lockers front and back. I've used the lockers much, much more often and I'm a believer. The winch is definitely insurance and if I ever do need it, I'll be glad I have it. But if it is...

I've got 305/70/16 (33s) on my 04 Rubi. They're fine on the highway, and for mild to moderate offroading they have been quite adequate. I have a 4" lift as well.

Very cool! Looking forward to more pics!

Great read so far. Can't wait to see more pics!

Most of the time I wear what I know is a less than effective 1/2 helmet. But I do have a Scorpion EXO-900 modular that I wear on long highway rides. Every critical area is metal to metal connections with very solid closures. I like the internal sunshield it has, and it also has really quality...

I've had the top on several weeks now. Initially there was some wind noise, mainly around the windshield header - new tops never really seem to fit in to those on the ends. We've had temperatures here in Wichita from around 30F to around 90F since I put this top on. For about the first week I...

The instructions recommend an hour for first time install. It took me probably 45 minutes. I don't know how easy it would be to do this on a cold day. I know my factory soft top was not fun to deal with in the cold. I think I could have everything off in 10-15 minutes max, probably 15-20 to put...

Bought the Rampage top today and put it on. Some of the instructions were a bit unclear - if I hadn't had a safari top I probably would have been baffled at how to do the rear rollbar straps that attach to the seatbelt bolts. The top is a very snug fit overall. I'll need a good sunny day to get...

Good to know. Thanks. I also have a loudish exhaust and somewhat howly tires.
