    2 small halons, door mounted: keep meaning to get a slightly larger chemical one to put in the back too.

    Scepter water can pump?

    also, if i'm reading this correctly, it's a pump built into the faucet fixture - i'm assuming self priming for a few feet at least - would be a little simpler than a 2 part pump & faucet perhaps: http://www.amazon.com/Water-Systems-Dual-Delta-Faucet/dp/B004JIER2Q/ref=sr_1_132

    Big tent help!!

    after having been through several REI, coleman, etc family sized tents, we finally made the jump to a Kodiak Canvas tent this year. the sticker shock is hard, but it should last a lifetime. so far, it's an absolutely awesome tent and we love it. we have the 10 x 14 and there's room for our queen...

    day trip to Moqui Lookout Tower and Mogollon Rim areas (AZ)

    yesterday took the Jeep for a little drive. all 2wd, a couple sections needed high-clearance, but most was just forest road. i took the 87 north past Payson/Pine/Strawberry/Clints Well and turned off just past the Blue Ridge Reservoir area to take some rough back roads to the Moqui Lookout...

    JK seating replacement options

    i've been pondering these: http://www.corbeau.com/products/reclining_seats/baja_xrs/ mastercraft & twisted stitch are supposed to be the best, corbeau being the next step down. i've heard nothing good about the smittybilt ones.

    Survival Sack: When things go bad...

    i actually have the SAS Survival Guide Handbook in my bag, it's 4.5" x 3" x 1", so it takes up little room and has practical survival info it, but i figured it also gives you something to read to help keep your wits about you instead of going mad while waiting for rescue. along the same lines i...

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    thanks guys! last week Number 7 also moved my shock mounts for me. i didn't feel like my rear were positioned right during the axle swap - i don't think they were allowing enough room for compression of bumpstops during heavy hits and might bottom out the shocks. also the front i could put...

    Headlamps anyone?

    i wouldn't be without my petzl zipka plus 2 around camp. its compact, bright, and it will wrap to your head, arm, backpack strap, tree branch, roof rack, whatever. now i wouldn't use it as a primary caving light or anything, but for camp it's perfect. trying to do anything at camp while...

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    thanks! exactly the same initial thoughts i had - so yes, i had someone weld it together at the joints back when i had it just bolted to my XJ's roof rack. i drilled the outer hole where the screws go to a bigger diameter and had the person rosette weld it there and then also do a full bead at...

    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    with the help or a couple people, i now have much wider sliders. the problem was that the "hoop" of them originally didn't stick out far enough to be even with the wide rounded part of the WJ body even when a boulder was str8 up, and if i was off-camber next to a boulder i was really screwed...

    On board air

    multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing: depending on the size of your compressor, you may be dealing with a solenoid instead of a relay and a circuit breaker instead of a fuse - they still hookup exactly the same. and don't forget the check valve. you should also consider an...
