If you are rigging up for some mechanical advantage should you use cable and regular shackles or rope and soft shackles and why? Just kidding, don't answer this question.

Take a small ratchet and socket and try to remove a lug nut. Take a bigger setup and try to remove it. Now go get a breaker bar and try and then slide a cheater bar on it. You are still the same person with the same power but because of leverage you can bet more done. Mechanical advantage is...

I didn't understand, know I have a a better understanding. And it isn't all about lines, where the pulleys sit is important.

YES it is IF the winch moves within the rigging it will create mechanical advantage. I couldn't understand this until I did my on experiment and say it with my own two eyes. Even then I couldn't see it at first, it took me two attempts and 76 posts but I finally got it. Thanks to all those...

You have a long trailer tongue and a good tow vehicle but you trailer looks light. Getting boxes like that would be wasted weight esp sitting on your tongue. I would think abut the boxes you see in the back of pick ups. They are lighter and more weather proof.

You have to be overloaded to be overlanding. All you really need are airbags and E rated tires and you will be fine.

this is common

Soft top, part of a soft top or no top. The heater cranks in my TJ. Even morning around zero + or - I can stay warm enough. I carry a blanket for anybody in the back. I change from half doors with pull off windows to hard doors for winters.

I will probably get flamed but I recommend considering another vehicle. I am a Jeep guy, I love my Wrangler. I am a weekend warrior and pack light. It is very capable off road, the top and doors come off, the ride is just fine too me BUT it just can't carry allot of weight and you want to add...

Off-roading is still like that. It is those that "overland" and need allot of equipment take allot of stuff. If you are heading out on a long journey and have to be self sufficient you have to carry allot of stuff, esp if you head out alone. I head out for few days in the woods, not alone, and...

The times I have use my Hi Lift are in ruts, water and broken axle. Times I could not get a bottle jack under the vehicle. Even then to use a bottle jack you have to get closer to the vehicle (even under it) than using a hi lift. I laugh when people talk about safety and jacks. Unless you...

So you bought the wrong tries to try to compensate for a dangerous vehicle?

Maybe his wife wants to be able to go topless? Even if you are not off roading hard the Wrangler has allot of appeal to allot of people, more so than many other vehicles.

The liberty has no personality, a wrangler does. At least that is how I see it. If you wife sees it that way get her the Wrangler so she can enjoy what she drives.

I carry a 33X9.5 BFG for a spare. My other tires are also 33's. My reasoning was weight. A narrower tire is lighter. BFGs are lighter than some other tires. A light tire can sit on the stock tire carrier and you don't have to have the extra weight of the heavier bumper as well as the tire...

I say not destroying wild agressive feral animals (given the chance to do so legally) is irresponsible.

That was exactly what the OP was asking for.

What do you expect?

I guess your statement: "Because laws vary so much between jurisdictions that there is no way you could ever give a definitive answer." confused me.

This is the world wide web and you expect a definitive answer? The OP said: " If you want to post your views on those subjects please post there to keep that discussion going. " Then he said: "I am sure that different states and venues may have different laws but I would like to soak up as...
