Again, that's why the Curie Anti-Rock is nice (if you've got a Jeep that there's an application for it). It is like the middle road; a light (adjustable) sway bar. You're not disconnected, but you've still got movement available. I don't know what folks with IFS have as options.

I've got an ARE fiberglass topper on my truck that I bought new in 1996. It is starting to leak around the windows. The windows are kept in place with what seems to be two-piece aluminum extruded pieces (one inside and one outside) that go all the way around the windows, with the inside piece...

It is still a sway bar; just a lighter than stock (and adjustable) sway bar. On-road it seems fine; I never really think about it when driving on pavement. It doesn't dive or anything when turning sharp.

If I traveled full-time like you (or had a bigger budget), I would go high(er)-end on a lot of my gear, including traction boards. If you can afford the MaxTrax you can't go wrong - they seem to be the ones everyone compares to. I know the knobs will get worn down if you spin your tires on...

Another for the Currie AntiRock. You want a little preload on the front end. https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f27/max-flex-vs-useful-flex-anti-rock-132003/

If you like the Air Armor M240 compressor but are looking for a way to mount it, SWAG Off-Road makes a nice aluminum bracket you can use to mount the ammo can (inside or outside of your vehicle, on your trailer, etc.). It also makes it lockable. SWAG makes other good stuff too; I have their...

I've been using this Air Armor M240 for a few years, and have been happy with it. Only 33% duty cycle, but it is more than enough for me and my 33" tires. I'm never the last one to fill back up. It comes in an ammo can, so it is easily transportable between vehicles. Costs about $130.00...

Check out this thread: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/off-brand-awnings.191706/ I mention in that thread the eBay special I bought (6x8 [roughly] about $110), show pictures of it, and discuss some pros/cons. I've used it a couple times and it has done what I asked it to do. I...

And I thought I was stepping up my game when I went to the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. I've never had custom-valved shocks, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing (or those special mini leaf-spring packs Carli is famous for). At least I've heard of Thuren and Carli. This thread...

I know; I was doing a Monty Python "And now for something completely different" kind-of viewpoint.

Or you can go low-budget. Skyjacker 2" taller springs up front, a 2" long-leaf add-a-leaf in the rear, and Bilstein 5100 series shocks all around. Extended bump stops in the front, and Timbren bump-stops in the rear. Figure a couple hundred dollars total for all the suspension stuff, which...

This is good-to-know information! I hadn't thought of bear issues. That would suck if we got there and couldn't camp like we planned. I had suggested to the Mrs. possibly borrowing or renting a trailer for the trip. We won't be off-roading, and I've got a full-sized half-ton truck to pull...

Normally when it is just me I've got my little trailer with a tent-cot bolted to the lid acting as a RTT (first picture). But if taking my wife, it is a tent you can stand up in along with a 10' square canopy (second picture from 2019 NW Overlanding Rally). In the tent, I can put either a...

So are you guys sleeping on the ground with these mats/pads?

Dear Ore-Landers, My wife and I are planning a trip to Glacier National Park in June (to do research on a book she's writing). We are in our 50's. She's agreed to go camping for the trip; about 5 nights camping total. I am an experienced camper/overlander, she is not. I've got all the...

I think 18 bolts are enough. Barely. I have a problem... I like drilling holes and bolting things together.:) The end of the frame's tongue and the 2" receiver hitch tube that butts up to it meet in the middle of the sleeve (arrow, second picture).

When I put a swing-away spare tire carrier on my TJ, I had to extend the tongue about 8". Otherwise I couldn't open it all the way (first picture). I sleeved it, and put a 2" receiver tube up front like before So half the sleeve is the new 2" receiver, and the other half goes over the...

Traction boards and a shovel will get you out of a lot of situations (I still have winches on my Jeeps though). I carry a large pointy-tip shovel on my trailer all the time. Sometimes I'll put a large square-tip shovel on the roof-rack with the traction boards (which are pretty much always on...

Thanks! We were happy with how it turned out. It also works well. The 4.10 gears and True-tracs front and rear almost make it unstoppable (we're not talking hard-core off-roading), and you don't notice them in the axles when driving on pavement. And the 4.0 six-cylinder was more than...

My "daily carry" is the Leatherman Pulse. Seems like I'm always needing a small screwdriver or something. Leatherman has "retired' the Pulse. If I were to get another multitool, it would be a Leatherman Free P2 or P4. One feature that is a requirement on any Leatherman I carry is it has to...
