I've seen more than a few Chevy 350 w/ Chevy 4 speed tranny swaps in SoCal. Other than moving the radiator forward and shafts. They all tell me it's pretty straightforward.

Got 2014 Jeep jku and M 416 wired with a 7 pin female plug. Jeep has a flat four male plug. Got the adapter and hooked it up. Tail lights, blinkers and brake lights all work until... I turn on the head lights and then everything works until I hit the blinkers. Then both trailer lights flash...

Keeping your doors from being blown or gravitied into other cars in parking lots while loading, entering or exiting.

I see many extend the tongue on their military jeep trailers. Question I have is. For what purpose?

Smog may be a problem since it's a non Ca. car. The tires and suspension are also a red flag. Personally I don't go look at cars that don't have interior and engine pics. Always figure there is a reason.

I'm on my second Suburban since starting this thread way back when...

In reverse order... I lay 5gal "Euro" cans on their side all the time and they don't leak a drop. You will be surprised how long it takes to empty a Coleman stove tank. If you took two gallons on a 10 day trip I suspect you'd bring more than a gallon home. The only Coleman product I have ever...

I would have bought it too. Very cool.

I saw one of these tops on a jeep in a parking lot. Very clean and unobtrusive. I only noticed it because it was a different color than the jeep.

Just picked this one up. Now the fun of turning it into a desert exploration and camping jeep

Many men have asked this same question...

For what you plan on doing I'd suggest a newer Sport or Sahara with 3.73s. Rubies are nice but it doesn't sound like you will be doing much rock crawling so why pay extra for that setup? Having said that I would hit Craigslist and grab some Rubicon rims and tire take offs and maybe the coils...

I was worried about reliability but not anymore. Lemons do sneak through but on the Wrangler Forum the vast majority are happy. The other neat thing about Wranglers is the factory lifetime warranty. Most dealerships want $5000 but there are two dealership guys over there selling that policy...

No kidding but I already have two.

And I have no idea what to do with it. I already have a 53 Dodge ambulance.

Have both but you should look at your families needs and go that way. To reinforce another members genius above. You can get a TJ or YJ for very little money. :)

I bring a pistol which is out of sight but handy and often bring rifles just for plinking. That's the beauty of living and camping in the desert. Few folks and lots of space.

Can anyone post a link or pics of the rear of a JKU that has been modded for travel and camping? I tried the search function but came up with very little. Thanks

Maybe it's a definition disagreement. To me expedition vehicle is one you can sleep, cook and travel in. A jeep will take you places where you can camp. YMMV.

When I first opened this thread I had prejudged a bit in that I expected the usual JK with a Willys sticker. Kinda correct but. The 3.73s and limited slip differential are nice. Actually the entire package (except Willy sticker) is a pretty nice set up for my desert exploring. If the price of...
