I am somewhat interested in this tent also, it's a hundred fifty to two hundred dollar tent so it may not me everything you were wanting But it's far setting it up I found this video. According to the lady in the video she is larger than most people, she had no problems putting it up or taking...

it's not a recovery hook so regardless of what it is it doesn't have the safety margin for me. I'm not hooking to a ball. If it's seriously stuck I'm not hooking into anything this slips into the receiver. If the vehicle is really stuck I will only hook to a recovery point that hooks to the...

Most trailers balls will be rated for 5k, some more. Any vehicle I wheel with will be a least close or over 4k. A stuck vehicle is heavier than when unstuck. 1k just isn't enough of a safety margin and isn't a tow hook. It may be fine but just something I won't use.

My bad, not sway bar but tie rod. That one wasn't bad stuck but I am sure their toe was out. I suppose well mounted strong bumper could be adequate. When I wheel hard it is usually with other Wrangler. For the most part wranglers come from the factory with good recovery points.

Yep, a good example would be wrapping a strap around a bumper or around a sway bar.

Legit recovery points attached to the frame or with a unibody attached to whatever attaches to the suspension, bumper and significant body structure. I will have the stuck person hook it and let them know that damage is possible.

Recovery point mounted to the frame are the best, many vehicles are unibody and don't have adequate recovery points if the vehicle is seriously stuck, hitch is often the only option. This year I have had at least a 1/2 a dozen calls from people (many of them my sons friends) wanting me to get...

I always find it entertaining to watch people fight with their tent. I don't want to be one of those guys struggling to set up my tent. The one I have now my isn't too difficult and my son and I have mastered setting it up but it is going to have to replaced soon. I really like the idea of...

I spent years in the Infantry and got buy with just night vision but when camping many people don't want to just get buy.

I like to head out for a few days with my son and camp as I wheel. I head with a local group and I find it kind of funny how much crap people take. I backpacked as a kid (Boy Scouts), I was in the Light Infantry for years and I drive a Wrangler. I learned how to pack light because I had to...

If you really want reinforced, built to last, and don't mind paying for it and reflective striping doesn't bother you and look into Emergency Response "bunker gear" clothing.

I guess I am the odd one here, I don't like boxes and totes. I like bags. I like my old Army Green "duffle bag" and back packs. If I don't fill up a bag it compresses and doesn't take up extra space. As I unpack the bags take up less space. For me bag is easier to load, unload, strap down...

If you don't understand the added capabilities lockers or traction control offers then you aren't wheeling that hard. I understand many here just run forestry roads where open diffs are fine. If you off-road enough you will should realize that regardless of the line you pick lockers will...

I worked with a guy that had some serious back issues. He had a Wrangler he didn't want to give up. He found a suspension seat and a doorstep that drops down when he opens the door. It works very well for him. I have back issues but not very severe. For me the biggest deal is how low the seat...

You give an answer and post number four, I gave a suggestion in post number 11. How can anybody give anybody a price for anything with as little of a description as we have gotten? We need quite a few pictures, we would have to know the ZIP code, We would have to know what the modifications...

Answer what question?

But you pick up more off road capability. It all about compromise.

Not sure what a good price is but if it is comparable to others that are similar then yes I suppose it is a good price. I would worry more about any modifications and how they are done than a few hundred bucks.

Are you talking about a registration penalty, performance penalty...?

Height won't matter on braking but the OP is talking about 35s. When I ran 35 vs 33s I noticed a difference in braking, I got better pads and it helped. I noticed a difference in braking when I went from stock to 33s. I believe the Rubicon has different setup on the rear yoke coming out of...
