    Which Jeep Model & Why?

    Thankfully, I don't have a daily commute. But if I did have to commute for any long distance, I would look for something other than my JKU.

    Front or Rear locker, but not both

    Did you mean to say Truetrac is clutchless as it has helical gears, unlike most factory-equipped LSD's ? http://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/catalog/differentials/eaton-detroit-truetrac-differential.html

    Jacks for expedition vehicles

    Oh noes ... safety jack. I just filled up a shopping cart with $$$ of stuff I didn't necessarily think I needed until I read this thread. Well need/want being synonymous, but I think everyone here gets that juxtaposition. :)

    Thule Acquires Tepui

    Yeah. I caught that too. I generally like Siler's articles, but I am not sure why he has such vitriol toward RTT's. Actually seems to me an atypical comment, contradictory to some of his previous articles. Cannot explain it.

    Jeep Blown oil cooler in Moab - Suggestions

    I think this is a crapshoot. Lots of anecdotal stories of multiple replacements even with the later gen replacement parts. I think the latest version is "E". I too have thought about a pre-emptive replacement, but come back to the old "if it ain't broke don't fix it", especially since I...

    Jeep Blown oil cooler in Moab - Suggestions

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. I (obsessively) worry about just this problem, which, iirc, is not limited to just 14's but all 3.6 motors (in all applications) with the new style oil filter. There is a huge thread on this subject on Wrangler Forum. Have you posted there too? Just out of...

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    Unfortunately, the environmental impact of mining all the lithium and copper necessary for EV batteries (and all our other electronic gizmos) has to be taken into equation as well. What is the harder on the environment: extraction of oil or extraction of lithium?

    Yeah. I rented one also just a bit ago, and it was a pleasant surprise: an honest truck that drove really well.

    SAT Communicator or SAT Phone?

    Not my experience at all. Inbound/outbound messaging works easily enough, except for the wonky native keyboard. Although, sometimes it takes time, but even then, it seems to be a function of satellite connectivity.
