    Moby1 owners?

    For you guys that have received your trailers, what was the actual lead time to receive your trailer? In September 2012, we looked at Moby's trailers, but ultimately decided on AT's offering. (mainly due to lead time concerns) Those of you transitioning to a teardrop are going to love the...

    Gunsite 250: My 5-Day Pistol Course Experience

    Tell Ed, Mark Beggs from KC said hello. Ed's a great guy and great instructor. Although the first few days are like trying to drink from a fire hose, by the end of the week you'll be amazed at how much you have learned and how much your shooting has improved. It will be time, and money...

    Ways to improve mileage in a JKU?

    The AEV Procal is used to reprogram the chassis computer to tell the computer what tire size and gear ratio you are running. Reprogramming will correct the speedometer, odometer, and get the shift points at the correct spot. (the ProCal also provides additional functions beyond this) After I...

    Ways to improve mileage in a JKU?

    I ran my 3.8L, 2011 Jeep, with 37's and 5.13 gearing. Pulling a AT Chaser through Vail pass (in Colorado) was still 45mph at 4500rpm. No bueno. After that trip upgraded to the 5.7Hemi. Pulls great. Driveability great. MPG's not so much. Just got home from a 2100 mile trip from Kansas City...

    Water Purification for Overlanding ?

    Water Purification Tests Check out the Overland Journal (Fall 2009). They did a thorough evaluation of a few water purifiers. The tests included running several laboratory prepared samples, of varying degrees of contamination, of e-coli water through the filters. The water was then analyzed...

    RTT Mattress

    I'm not sure what mattress Eezi-Awn uses, but the one in our old Globetrotter was very comfortable.

    Bead lock wheels

    Not sure if this was meant for me, but I'll respond. No problem keeping my tires centered on the Walker Evans. Jeep handles great. Doesn't feel like a vehicle on 37's. No unusual sway during turns, wandering, or swimming feeling. Steering is very tight. IMHO, the key is the suspension...

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    STMAXX in 37x12.50R17 Just replaced my Toyo Open Country M/T's in 37X13.50R17LT with Cooper STMAXX's in 37x12.50R17's. I'll let you know how they work out. Initially, it appears gas mileage has improved. The Jeep's handling feels to be the same as well. (compared to the Coopers, the...

    Bead lock wheels

    +1 for Walker Evans I'm running Walker Evans bead locks on the Jeep. They have held up to everything thrown at them. Mine were made to my specs regarding offset as well as bolt pattern. Good luck!

    4x4 sPOD lighting issue

    I don't know what the wiring directions say for the Rigid Lights, but the lights should be wired directly to the sPOD. (i.e. hot wire and ground wire run directly to the hot and ground terminals on the sPOD.) Probably not a fuse issue. If it were, the lights would not come on the second...

    Is a teardrop right for us?

    Teardrop? I agree with others. I've had an AT Chaser and currently own an AT Teardrop. The beauty of owning a trailer, any trailer, is that they can be left packed for the next trip. Makes getting out the door a piece of cake. I also agree with Flymaui, no room in the inn for a 90lb husky...

    WTT Hannibal for Eezi Awn

    Wow! You should go buy a lottery ticket....Lady Luck is sitting close to you. I'm sure if the awning is sitting in Moby's shop, they will get it right out to you. Congratulations! I've always thought a Hannibal Dealer, with product in stock, would sell a ton. I guess the balance would be...

    WTT Hannibal for Eezi Awn

    Another Hannibal opinion Yuman's last, and my first, Hannibal Awning rode across the pond together last spring. I have mine on the Teardrop. My awning is sturdy and, like Yuman, I love the fact that it has no legs or guys. If you order one, you better have patience. It took quite a while...
