    I'll bite, what's the problem? Where is the "separate neutral path", I can't get my head around this.

    order of expedition mods

    Since you like to hike, you could forego the spare parts:luxhello: It sounds like you are already really well set up and your list is "would be nices" rather than "must haves". I would go for OBA first. I just got a dual force winch. Now I fuss with tire pressure all the time. I filled my...

    Anyone bring firearms with them on trips?

    Ever since I saw The Hills Have Eyes:Wow1: Mutants are scary Seriously, I carry a S&W airlight hammerless revolver in .38 with me when I'm out alone. It's only 11oz. I run into 'characters' all the time in the old central PA stripmines but never once had a problem. Hell, I probably qualify...

    Why roof top tents?

    Sounds like most have a built in pad, I didn't realize that. Does your sleeping gear stay dry if you fold the tent up in the morning when its dewy or wet? I only spent 9 nights on the ground last year. I'm hoping to increase that this season. I'm not sure a RTT is right for me yet.

    Why roof top tents?

    I'd like to hear from some owners as to what are the pros and cons of vehicle top tents. I've never used one. I'm guessing they would be great for very wet areas but would seem to be heavier and smaller than a conventional tent?

    00-01 XJ From STOCK to STUD

    I just put a BDS 6.5 long arm on a 95. It was very well made and is performing well so far. There are some pics in this thread http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4770

    Safari Quality Chairs, Table and Basin?

    I've had really good luck with a moulded white plastic card table from Sams Club. It is ~33" square. with the legs folded it is ~2.25 high. In my wrangler, it fits perfectly on the floor b/t the wheel wheels, so it goes in first and everything gets piled on top of it. It seems indestructable...

    longarm/math gurus?

    It rides really nice. Better than most vehicles on tires that big. That's a good idea on the zerks, especially on the lowers, they're begging to be ripped off Its a 95 with 103K. It was a Park Ranger Jeep, bought at auction for $1100 b/c it said bad steering on the window. Replaced the...

    Bumper Indecision

    Both designs look too wide for my taste. There are no fenders to protect anymore. I'd look for a narrow design that would let your tire get on an obstacle easier. edit: I know I've seen a narrow JK bumper that looks stock somewhere, I just can't remember where

    etrex vs. laptop issues

    Rubicon question

    My jeep solution. Dogs don't need a lot of headroom, my 80lb lab curls up against the seatbacks, I never had 2 dogs on it but there would be plenty of room. If you use rubbermaids underneath you can keep everything accessible. I have a cargo floor liner that I throw on the expanded metal now...
