    Lifted or Locked?

    a good suspension lift will create a 29% improvement in the appearance of your offroad driving abilities. a locker will cause a 34% improvement. however, 92.3% of all statistics on the internet are made up.

    Lifted or Locked?

    a locker for general ability. a lift only if you are getting into crawling type trails where clearance has been an issue.

    Lets talk portable air compressors

    i did quite a bit of research about a year ago, my conclusions: under $100: buy a new MV-50 every few years under $250 and overall best value: search "puma 12v air" on ebay under $600: ExtremeAire Magnum sky's the limit: engine-driven, if not possible then oasismfg.com don't try a permanent...

    what about rei

    I too support Tread Lightly. However, Tread Lightly is not only about responsible and ethical use of our outdoor resource. The organization is also a champion of shared and equal access. Your comments come across with a decidedly anti-OHV tone. To insinuate that everyone offroading is...

    SOLD - FS: hydro assist steering for Jeep (box, ram, hoses, hardware)

    used West Texas Offroad (Redneck Ram) hydraulic assist steering kit was used on a 2002 WJ, but i thing it would work on a lot of Jeeps - please do your own research though as to whether the steering box is compatible with your application. this was supposedly only used for a year and a half...

    Ham radios. What is everyone using

    i'm using the Kenwood TM-V71A full dual band, because it has the option to later upgrade the control panel to the RC-D710 when i'm ready to spend a little more money and start doing APRS. i was only considering dual band with remote-face mounting option when i chose it. Icom was too expensive...

    CBradio , MURS, firstik... Where do I start? Help.

    IMHO a cb radio with only a "rubber-ducky" antenna is all but useless from inside a vehicle. any external antenna, even a cheap mag-mount, will be night/day difference in terms of range. i've had good luck with my all-in-the-hand design Midland 75-822 and an external antenna. i've used both a...

    In-dash nav on a budget?

    do you already have a smartphone? a nice car dock with your own custom mounting would be my recommendation. easy to pop in and out, always up to date, always with you, traffic and weather info, etc. a tablet of course is even better, but then you're talking another wireless contract for a 3/4G...

    2005 Grand Cherokee

    nice rig! imho, re-locate that quick connect from the front bumper before it gets ripped off. i'd also move the arb compressor to under the hood (as high as possible) before you go mud swimming much more ;)
