    Weight distribution hitch / sway control off pavement

    I would never consider using a WDH off road. Hitches designed to be used off-road allow for a lot of movements in various directions so the trailer can tilt as I needs to. WDH do the exact opposite they reduce the amount of movement. I have used them in the past WDH and they serve a real...

    Why don’t more people take the WK2 overlanding?

    If the terrain your tackling is no more difficult then the pics Echo posted above then many SUVs would be fine. I have had a Grand and a 4Runner (both 4wd but stock) and most terrain either would be fine. I have been reading this post for a while and I guess what it comes down to for me is I...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    There is a difference between a Security and a Law Enforcement. Police are Law Enforcement agents they are not Security Guards. If you want security you have to take care of that on your own.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    They can say what they want. The 2nd amendment is between individuals and the government not the business. They can deny you service if they choose for many reasons. BUT if the gun is concealed they don't know and have no right to know. What they don't know won't hurt them. I am not...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    government exempts themselves from everything. That is a huge problem here.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    They way I look at it is they have no business with what is in my pants in regards to which restroom I use or what is in my pocket or waist band.

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I only conceal carry. I don't want to be noticed. I carry about everywhere, even places where it is not welcome. I don't want to bring attention to myself. I am not a cop, I am not responsible for others. I have no plans on protecting anything or anyone other than my family and myself.

    Transporting Diesel in Jerry Cans Under Truck Canopy?

    I have been using Scepter MFCs since the 90s. First in the Army and now as a civilian. I have had them inside the cab, in the bed, hanging off the outside, kicked and drug around. They will not leak fuel or fumes if the are in good shape. There are other good cans out there. If you get a...

    Salvage WJ?

    Repairs are expensive, the grand doesn't have the greatest resale. I may not take much damage to total one out. The damage could be completely cosmetic and now be just fine or the damage could affect the performance of the vehicle. Someone above mentioned the new tires could be there to hide...

    Ideas for a family of 4 camper?

    Camping season is getting close to over. Time to look for deals. I would check out any camping expo that you can. There are allot of options out there.

    With my hybrid I can fold down the front tent, unzip it and slide in kayaks.

    Ideas for a family of 4 camper?

    The biggest thing I noticed when I was looking at campers is when you cross over about the 3K mark is the size of the water and holding tanks. If you are camping for long periods of time and don't have frequent access to fresh water or to dump your holding tanks you may have to go with a...

    Ideas for a family of 4 camper?

    Calicamper brings up some very good points about size and weight. As a person who camps and has a family of 4 what I can tell you with 100% certainty is your kids will get bigger (and you might too). If you go just big enough for now it will probably be too small soon. When we camp we like to...

    Why don’t more people take the WK2 overlanding?

    I don't find much for the newer Grands.

    Why don’t more people take the WK2 overlanding?

    For me for even moderate off-roading I would really want a frame for recovery points and a winch. A unibody is fine for many things but not what I would chose for off roading. Somebody brought up aftermarket support which is huge for Wranglers compared to other Jeeps. Bumpers. If you wheel...

    Why don’t more people take the WK2 overlanding?

    I know I will take a beating for this. The only true off-raod vehicle Jeep makes now is the Wrangler. The others are 4wd and would probably work great of most overlanding but if you want to "upgrade" and make a true off-raod vehicle and you want a new one from Jeep, the Wrangler is what you...

    Towing Electrical Connector Recommendation

    /\ I think this would be your best bet. A 4 ping covers your taillights, brake lights and blinkers. This is how most smaller trailer will be setup. Larger trailers will have the 7 pin. The extra 3 on the 7 pin cover brakes (you will need an additional controller in the Jeep), backup lights...

    New tires installed, Falken Wildpeak A/TW3s trip report.

    I have had a set of the for about 1K miles on my Jeep. They ride smooth and quite, no signs of wear. I was running Super Swampers before so about anything is quieter and smoother than those. I did pick up just over 2.5mpg with these tires compared to the Super Swampers. I did expect my mpg...
