That is almost unbelieveable:Wow1: , we bought an 01 new that now has 190K. The best we've ever got was 18-19. The poor mileage is justified in my mind b/c the only mechanical failure ever has been the fuel pump.:) edit: please don't discuss miles per tank, it makes me want to kill people...
What is your budget? I have big (10x10)coleman dome and a smaller Mountain hardware, 3 man, 3 season. If the weather will be bad, I take the MH. For warm, summer camping, I like the roomy Coleman. The MH was ~$350, the coleman ~$100.
I'd have to agree, I'd really like a solid, reliable, skid plated TJ on 31s
Are you saying the sticker on my front fender means I'm gay... that explains a lot:)
If you are going for looks, you gotta trade for the yj. TJs have that doe-eyed, cutesy look. The yj is strictly built for business and that business is kicking ******.:) Round headlights are for metrosexuals anyhow:shakin:

Why would you listen to your wife when you can get all the advice you need right here on this forum???:)
I'm a fan of sch40 for skids, I don't have any proof but it seems to dent less than dom in my experience. I would incorporate a step into the wrap around too.
If it's a typical trailor spindle, the bottom is ~4.125 to 4.250. Mine stuck thru the bottom side of the bumper just enough to get a nice bead on it. HTH edit: never mind, you asked for OD, I think I used a 1" holesaw for the bumper
