    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    added a couple of rock lights today while i was putting my belly skid back on. they sit on top of the skid, both angled down and pointed at opposite axles: they certainly could get smacked by a rock, but it's not super likely. as you can see i need to do something for a tranny pan skid...

    I shall call him... "Mini Me" (2005 Jeep Liberty KJ)

    the GF has ditched her 2WD Trailblazer and is now a Jeep family member! We got her the KJ this weekend and took it out for it's first trip to the dirt (well sand actually) this afternoon. This will be primarily her daily driver, but may also go on some milder expeditions such as...

    Tip: Have your map/atlas bound at Fedex Office (Kinkos)

    (cross posted from OffroadPassport.com) Just a tip: for about 8 bucks, you can have Fedex Office (formerly Kinkos) spiral bind your atlas so that they are easy to fold back on themselves when you're using them on the trail. They take the staples out of them, open them to the center, and...

    VAir compressors. Trying to decide which one.

    ideal is engine-powered, but usually people give up their A/C in trail rigs for that. not sure if there is a kit/bracket for the JK that wedges in a compressor while keeping everything else or not? but if there is and you have the money for it, well nothing 12v really compares.

    Best truck for the Apocalypse?

    i think most streets will be covered in vehicles, so you'll need to be able to go around or over things and not count on roads. so, a unimog, flatbed style with a tacoma on the back of it, and in the bed of the tacoma have a KTM 990 Adventure Dakar. take tons of parts off other unimogs and...

    Check Engine Light decided to rear its ugly head again....

    had it been raining before the problems and then dried out when they stopped? thinking maybe connections getting wet and causing issues. otherwise you probably still have a loose ground or other common connector somewhere and it's just kinda being good or bad depending on how the bumps in the...

    Ultimate Vehicle Fire Extinguisher

    i've wondered if it's safe too - but couldn't find any info on it, so i just put mine in. so far, the halon ones haven't exploded in my black grand cherokee in the phoenix heat after several years now.

    Working on my setup

    very nice! my only thought was that as much work as you already put into this, why not grab some spot putty and fill in all those wood imperfections, sand it smooth, and then give it a final coat? also, a satin finish would show less imperfections than a gloss paint, but still be relatively...

    VAir compressors. Trying to decide which one.

    if you're set on viair then ignore this - but IMHO, check out the puma's first. search ebay for "puma 12v".

    Ultimate Vehicle Fire Extinguisher

    exactly why i need to still get a larger chemical one mounted in the back somewhere. my small halon ones are excellent for in-the-cabin fires, but halon wouldn't work well on an exterior fire - nor likely would a couple small bottles be enough for anything exterior either.
