    4WD in the snow

    Maybe your tires were just slipping on a patch of ice? Or traction control kicking in??

    Anybody runs 33x9.5 tires!

    I just put 33 x 10.50's on my Jeep and they are great! I would say 9.50 would be too narrow for my use.

    33 x 10.50 x 15 on Expo Jeeps?

    The wheels are 15 x 8 Cragar 399 Silver Soft 8 Wheels from Quadratec. (Part #92602.204). Them seem fine for the 33 x10.50's. I went with an 8" rim in case I wanted to go wider in the future (I doubt I will though).

    "Funny" query related to four-tire rotation.

    Maybe true in the past with radials but not now from what I have heard. No problems with my tires doing cross rotations. Check with the mfg to be sure.

    Open fire cooking setups?

    Those set ups look great. I usually build a rock fire ring and put my grill over the coals and when I'm done cooking burn off the grease on the grill and then add wood to the coals for the campfire.

    TJ clutch question

    If it was screeching with the clutch in it is probably the throwout bearing. Sometimes a throw out bear can last quite a while even when making noise. Does the sound go away with the clutch out? How many miles on the Jeep? If the hydraulics have been fixed then start saving for a whole new...

    suv vs p'up ?

    The SUV body style provides slightly more security than a camper shell and it keeps all your gear better protected from dust etc. In cold weather it is also nice to have all your stuff inside the rig with HVAC. You can also set up your sleeping bag ahead of time so if you arrive at camp at...

    03 Tahoe "Wife" Build

    FYI The Z71 package has skid plates and the newer ones have a rear locker. The Tahoe is a nice size for camping and exploring. I see lots of them everywhere in town so parts and service should be easy to find.

    Newbie here looking to buy a Travelall.

    Got Wood? Here is a great Woody International Harvester (before Travelalls) I don't think it is for sale though http://home.comcast.net/~thefowlers4/site/?/page/R140_4x4_1953-1955/&PHPSESSID=cf5e3d70215c4de94e5cab40321626fd

    Newbie here looking to buy a Travelall.

    I like the old IH and Willys stuff too but be realistic about parts availablity, rust etc. Do you want to work on your rig or drive it? A newer 3/4 Ton Suburban is a much more common platform and parts are easy to find.

    33 x 10.50 x 15 on Expo Jeeps?

    Lookin Good I'm going with 15" rim size so I can stay with a Load Range C tyre as I think an E Rating will be too rough a ride for a TJ.
