    Snow Performance- Kansas City Well after running these tires for quite some time, I finally got the chance to test them in a decent snow and on snow packed roads. One word- impressive. This week, Kansas City got 8"-12" of snow. I needed to go into an area that hadn't been touched by plows or...

    LinkLITE Battery Monitor

    Battery Monitor Chart I don't know about the gauge being "way better"...but to each his own. I use the following chart and the voltage meter on the solar charger to determine state of charge. Quick and simple. Just my $0.02. This chart was derived for the 2 Group 31 Deka Intimidator AGM...

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon HeliNomad Build

    Sorry, arriving a little late to the party :) +1 for the Lockpick. Have one in my '11 JKUR. Couldn't stand that the GPS locks you out when traveling over 5 mph. The auto backup camera and auto front camera are also great features.

    Horrendous Customer Service - Wild Boar

    Wild Boar- Customer Service?? My experience with them was about the same when I purchased the fastback top for my JKU back in '12. I would recommend looking to another vendor. See this post: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/55297-Wild-Boar?p=906275#post906275

    Rear JK bumper advice needed.

    LoD Offroad Bumpers I'm running LoD Offroad's ( http://www.lodoffroad.com/) front and rear bumpers as well as their sliders. They are 3/16" steel plate bumpers, that bolt on. No cutting or drilling required. They have performed flawlessly for me. BTW, no affiliation, just a satisfied...

    Aev wheels or Hutchinson

    Just a note, my Walker Evans wheels were made to my specifications (i.e. backspace) which was unique to my setup. For travel along forest service roads and typical overland trips, I doubt you really need the ability to air down to single digits. IMHO, the weight of the wheels and the ability...

    Aev wheels or Hutchinson

    +1 for the Walker Evans +1 on the performance of the Walker Evans. They are very heavy though. My 37's and the Walker Evans are about 115lbs/ea. :Wow1: I have aired them down to 5psi...inadvertetly. When airing down, got a piece sand in between the valve stem cap and the valve. At a stop...

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Just keep in mind, your battery will last longer if you don't routinely draw it down below a 50% charge.

    so I might possibly will convert

    So how was the "seat of the pants" power in the Cherokee with the diesel? 420 ft-lbs of torque sure looks good on paper.

    so I might possibly will convert

    Funny, me too!! Slight modification, problem solved: :ylsmoke: Have you thought about replacing the Grand Cherokee with a new Grand Cherokee with the diesel option? Might be another good alternative to the 4 Runner.

    Teardrop Recommendations

    AT Mods during frame construction I don't know how far you are having AT go with your frame build (i.e. water tank installation, electrical wiring routed through the frame members, etc) but you might consider having them add a battery box to the frame. This is where I relocated my battery to...

    That's pretty easy. I had heard they only allowed shotguns. Good to hear that rifles are allowed as well. Thanks.
