Good to see another Michigan thread up here! I seriously think that if the Michigan tourism board folks hired ExPo members to prepare their Michigan promotional literature, the popularity of our tourism industry would improve substantially. Pics like these and upcruiser's (and any others who...

True. I was thinking more of winching in low-lbs utility mode rather than recovery mode, though my post didn't offer any hint of it. I never pulled a single vehicle with my previous winch, but tensioned hazard trees and trees with a back-lean lots of times when doing residential removals. Not...

First off, I'd skip the 100 and go one or two steps higher in the model line so you can at least have a basemap. I've got a few solid years of use on the (discontinued? replaced?) Explorist 200. It rides in the car, in my pocket, on my MTB handlebars, in the rain, in the heat, and it just...

Driving home last night around 2am, with no cars on the interstate, I got to thinking again that it might be nice to have a way to lay out a lot more light than my current lighting setup, probably by putting some high-powered lights on the Jeep either in addition to or in place of the Hella...

Was that $275 a typo?

How's the remaining inventory doing? Any left?

Looks nice! Even with an open bed it could be a useful setup as an off-pavement utility vehicle.

I just finished installing a new Warn M8000 (minus electrical) today, after removing the Ramsey REP8000 that I've had for the past couple years and repainting the mount plate yesterday. Unlike the Ramsey, it is not possible to mount the solenoids on top of the winch motor on the Warn. This...

Heck, why stop at one winch? Good choice on the bumper. JCR makes good stuff. I'm thinking about driving down to pay them another visit to see about a roof rack setup and brushguard/wraparoundfenderprotection/slider setup one of these days.

I'll call them tomorrow to encourage them to reoffer it, and maybe make some of my law student volunteers call, too.

Not soft-sided, but it has been a good setup for tools, chain/shackles, a few spares, plug kit, etc.. And it could have tie-downs attached to the top for strapping down light stuff like clothing duffels and sleeping bags. Plus it can be removed and has little recesses to serve as campsite...

Nice write-up! Looks like some good scenery and a sort of environment that is substantially different from what we've got around here in southern MI. Definitely going to give this trip a shot next year in the Spring or early Summer if I possibly can. Possible group trip? Maybe w/ Trans Taiga...

Geez, the run of ExPo Decal Mk.2 is over already? Guess I better get some of these, too, so I can have some unused samples of Mk.1 and Mk.2 decals to hang on to for their collector value! Sorry to hear about the shipping drama and the $$$ issues. Hopefully someone will be able to pick the...

If you were closer I'd take 'em for a project I have in mind. But the whole shipping thing...not such a hot idea. Good luck finding 'em a new home!

Great write-up and an even greater score on that $300 trailer. Thanks for the detailed pics and info!

Lovely! I always wanted to drive down there and I guess I'll have to try to rekindle that desire sooner than later...

Glad to see the subsequent posts in this thread. While I'm on vacation at the moment, I've got my TJ off geting its engine torn down for the second time in seven months (thanks, Chrysler, for that 70k powertrain warranty! I sure hope y'all get it right this time, since I'm at 65k...). I also...

I bought two of 'em this evening, one for my wife's car and one to be hardmounted in my TJ.

Good to see another TJer trying to figure out how to make a paid-for vehicle work. I'm in the same boat here, albeit closer to stock (no rock crawling for me - all we have are forest trails and sand dunes here in lower MI). My issue has never been traction (even with MTs/open diffs), but...

Beautiful trailer. I'm envious - my TJ really, really needs one desparately.
