Great work Dave!!!!! Really looks great all finished up. Very good use of space. Can't wait to get out with you guys again. :D

At the SoCal Toys for Tots event, I won a Fenix TA30 light. It uses 2 CR123 lithium batteries (which does not come with it) and has 3 levels of brightness and a strobe setting. On low power it is nice as an around camp light or reading a map, etc. Not too bright to use. On full power, man...

Ah, wait young grasshopper.... :ylsmoke:

Hi everyone, I am getting close to building my roof rack for our Cherokee. I am trying to keep this fairly low profile and have some thing cool for the floor rails, which I really haven't seen done. My usage is for the spare, HiLift when not on the trailer and for lights. Have a GoLight for...

The Transcontinental package comes with shocks, heavier duty tongue and larger tires/wheels then the standard package.

Owning our Kamparoo for the last 3 years, it has been exactly what we needed. Both my wife and I did not want ANY kind of ladder climbing for various reasons. This greatly narrowed the choices down and until 3 years ago, I had never even heard of Kamparoo. Someone on ExPo mentioned it and a...

I just did this on my Cherokee (install in the Jeep forum) and used Air Lift 1000's with my OME leaf springs. I haven't gotten out on the trail yet (with or without the trailer) but the local driving I did, it seem like a minimal change. I do notice the rear is about an 1" higher but the ride...

:chef: I'll have to take some. Nothing already taken. I did get my clamps for the airlines and got them installed today. Picked up some aluminum to make some spacers for my bump stops. Still need to build those.

I got them from www.trucksprings.com but I talked to them in person. They were recommended to me by Airlift. As for the part #, Cherokee kit, 59507 (but minus the bags in that kit) Airbags, 50272 Cost was $126.68 kit minus bags and $139.20 for the two bags. Total $265.88

I had found the original manufacturer specs at one point and that was per terminal. Found the manuf. site info. http://www.aquasignal.info/aquasignal_us/files/content/series_accessories.pdf?id=191 16amp x 4 (not sure what the 5th wire is for, since they only reference 4 for that rating).

This is what I am thinking of using for my setup, when the time comes. http://www.defender.com/large/256144_l.jpg

Might be great for a truck but.... a Cherokee license plate is in the rear hatch. That's a lot of airline to run... :Wow1: :elkgrin:

The bottom of the bag has a bolt that comes up under the plate. You snug is just enough to allow a little movement, put about 5 psi (just to inflate the bag) and then line it up vertically. Put a wrench under and tighten to 14 ft.lbs. Since the u-bolt is close to the axle mounting point...

Not all of us are using coil springs in the back. :elkgrin: These are "Helper Airbags". They do not replace anything but add to the leaf springs. I just posted my install and pictures to view. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36091

Finally, after 2 years of wanting to do this project, our trip out to Death Valley put this to the top of the list. I had added extra gas cans and holder to the front of the Kamparoo, which added about an extra 120 lbs. to the tongue. It was causing the Cherokee to squat way more and left us...

Yep, U-joints going would be the first thing I would say based on your description. It doesn't take a long time to kill joints when not setup correctly. Since you need to do a SYE and will need a different driveshaft, not a whole lot of sense changing U-joints unless your SYE is WAY down the road.

Not including the expedited shipping since I needed it this week, the custom kit was ~$260. I think a stock out of the box kit can be found around $225 but I haven't looked that hard.

If you had everything setup with an on board compressor and correct valves, you could do this but I can't recall anyone in the 4x4 world really have done this. Most helper bag setups tend to be manual fill as needed. Quick and simple.

Funny, your old XJ was what inspired me to go with airbags in the first place. I found a few others since then but you were the first I saw. I am using the Airlift brand and had gotten an airbag chart from Airlift a couple years back. I was told what bag was in the stock kit (which is a 4.0...

I really comes down to how much air you have in them. They need a minimum of 10psi so there will be a slight increase in "spring rate" but articulation should not be affected. As you move up to the max 100psi, it will stiffen up the spring rate and will change how much effort it takes to flex...
