    ExPo International Oval Stickers

    Is it possible to place an order without having to sign up with a Google account? I refuse to create another account that has credit card info. Can a money order be sent to you directly? The only accounts we have that are tied with our credit cards is a PayPal account, which tends to be the...

    My relatively in-expensive offroad popup build thread

    Glad to hear it's going well. Make sure you give a report about the shower system. It was talked briefly in the Camping forum but no one actually had used one. It looked like something we were thinking about. Would like to hear your views once you use it. Thanks and keep up the good work. :D

    Shock placement question...

    I don't have a clear answer with your trailer but here is some good info my very good friend at Bilstein gave me. The more vertical you can get the shock, the more linear the shock will work. This becomes important when tuning a shock (not that you are going to do that). As you angle the...

    Off road pop up trailer?

    Nice score. As Mario has said to me before, if you are going to use Jeep wheels, the inner bore size on the wheel is too small for a lot of trailer hubs. They have to use spacers to clear the hub for a lot of factory type wheels. Since you need to space things out anyways, you might be able...

    Interest in Bigger Gas Tank for '97+ XJ

    I have 95,000, it's an AW4 auto, on 31" tires, geared with 4.10's. Speed is a major factor. It really eats away at mileage on an XJ, more so then most other vehicles I have owned. I am actually getting the same highway mileage as I did bone stock and 1-2mpg less city driving. I did gears...

    How narrow is too narrow?

    Ah... the $100 question. In most cases, the longer the spring, the better it will ride. A shorter spring (like most trailer springs) has to have a higher spring rate to keep the load capacity but because the leverage points are shorter they tend to resist flexing. A lot of things can factor...

    Interest in Bigger Gas Tank for '97+ XJ

    As for the 4 gallon remark, I was using the specs (IIRC) that Jeep put out that the stock tank is 21 gallons. You say the new one you have is 25 so I did the math. It most likely is true that an empty tank may be 21 gallons but the pump never would pick up the last of it so 18-19 might be the...

    Interest in Bigger Gas Tank for '97+ XJ

    Based on your info, here is my input. Since it sounds like this tank is about the same clearance as the stock one, I would rather see the front of the tank expanded to add the extra 3-5 gallons over the added 4 gallons you have gained already. If I can add 7-9 gallons over my stock tank, then...

    Finally building my front bumper for the XJ

    The bumper kit was $230 that you weld together. This included the Hella lights and laser cut light grills. I added the tubing and lower lip spoiler. It was from a member on NAXJA. The post is here, http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=935716 The skid plate is a factory Jeep one. I...

    3-4 Link Suspension?

    Based on what I saw, there are a couple things that most likely affected the performance between our two trailers. Tires I feel had a big effect as the AT trailer had 35x12.5" tires and I am currently on 185-70-14". The larger tires and hence taller sidewall, helped assorb some of the shock...

    3-4 Link Suspension?

    Cool kit but for $1100, way too much overkill for a trailer. One of the biggest things trailers don't have to worry about is pinion angle. With the above kit, it helps keep the pinion angle correct while traveling through the range of motion. Have watched our trailer behind us, don't worry so...

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    I am awaiting the full pictures but I was told by James it was called, the Launching Pad. He and his buddy that rode with him said it was nutty crazy.

    Congrats on the new Kamparoo!!! We LOVE ours and let me tell you, you got a SMOKIN' deal. Welcome to the family. :friday: Edited: Oh, do yourself a favor and convert the tongue over to a Lock 'n Roll setup with Silent Hitch Pins. Works GREAT and is dead silent.

    Post Pic's of your Jeep

    Don't worry, we ran with Trail Monkey across the Mojave Road and his rig work great! He has put a lot into this rig to make it work great for a lot of the rock crawling type trails he does back east. As I found out, his avatar picture is going up that face under its own power, not on the winch...

    How to convince wife???

    Are you refering to a Kamparoo or Kimberly or are you refering to a Coleman or Fleetwood? I would agree with the Coleman, Fleetwoods and the likes but not Kamparoo's or Kimberly's. Those two are built for the Outback and are well built for offroad use. They are not like a standard popup. I...

    Q. what is good shock? do i need a resevoir?

    One of my very good friends is the R&D manager at Bilstein and has given me a lot of valuable info (and some awesome deals on shocks) over the years. Resevoir shocks are great if you are cycling the shocks at high speeds where heat builds up and having the extra capacity of the resevoir to...
