    Portable toilets

    Well, after reading everything, my wife and I bought the PETT and PUP tent. It showed up yesterday (having placed the order Sunday afternoon :Wow1: ). The PETT is very simple and should work great. It definitely is lower then a standard house toliet but not too bad. The "bowl" opening is...

    Overland Journal Water Bottle?

    :oops: I re-read the minimum order for the Klean Kanteen and the stainless steel ones, you only need to order 160 units. For the powdercoated ones, it was a minimum of 500. I haven't seen anyone from Overland Journal popup and say if they want to do this or allow their logo to be used. Is...

    question's about re-gearing

    Typically 4.10's are swapped in when you go with 31" tires but that is also with a 4 speed auto (the ones with OD). This keeps you close to stock gearing when running stock size tires. For your setup having a 3 speed auto, I would not want to go that deep. When I put mine into 3rd gear, the...

    Fightin' the urge...

    Sure the first picture with the 265's looks great but is it worth the can of worms to get that look. You have said that your current setup has worked very well for you and gotten you where you want to go. Moving up to 265's you are going to have rubbing issues, especially with the 97+ ARB...

    Home built independent suspension?

    Actually and IRS ('68+) version versus a swing axle ('67-) car, there is minimal camber movement during the full travel. There is some but very minimal, especially when compared to the swing axle cars. This is one reason people will take a pre '68 car with the link pin front end (better for...

    Home built independent suspension?

    I don' think the idea was to use the actual VW torsion housing but an aftermarket housing, which is nothing more then a piece of tubing with mounts on the end for the spring plates/bushings. Very light and compact. The other nice thing about using a modified VW suspension is, the spring plates...

    Canon 450D/XSi Announced

    Overland Journal Water Bottle?

    The only thing I noticed was you have to order a minimum of 500 and they are made in China... but here is their cliam why, "The Klean Kanteen is made “responsibly” in China because one of our founding principles was to produce an economically priced high quality stainless steel bottle as an...

    Ext idle switch on a TJ

    Sorry for the highjack. I guess slightly on topic. I just received my idle switch and 4 opening bezel for my Cherokee. Just need to find time to install. I noticed your HVAC control knobs. Are those the ones listed in JP magazine, that are polished and have a blue dot for indicate where...

    Magellan Crossover 3.5"

    EW Jeep TJ project plan

    Hi Carl, Well, here is my .02 worth. Question 1, don't know as I am not familar with this system. Question 2, I would leave the engine basically stock, to keep the reliability and serviceability simple and easy. More mods, more things that can fail. As for gearing, with the upgrade in tire...

    Magellan Crossover 3.5"

    Yep, the 1.68 trick is what I found out when I called tech support late last month. I recall going into a menu from the main one, that allows you to go into the point to export tracks. I don't have mine in front of me (at work currently) but when I get home, I'll power mine up and check it...

    is this a copy?

    And here is the ripoff copy of the Kamparoo... I do believe in compitition but direct ripoff is something different. Make a better mousetrap, don't just copy it. :mad: :violent-smiley-031:

    Trailer battery wiring questions?

    Thanks Martyn. No issues with doing the work, just wanted to make sure I was going to do it correctly. :D I know the perfect curcuit breaker that allows me to manually open the curcuit versus having to disconnect the plug. I just wanted to make sure there was no issue with it pulling too much...
