To my knowledge, the advantage once offered by external frame packs (compared to internal frame) of heavy weight comfort and control is no longer the case.

The only Rubicon feature I would like on my Willys is the transfer case. Otherwise, I agree that the non-Rubicon is plenty capable, especially if you are going to modify it anyhow. For example, if you want to change the differential gear to a higher numerical (lower) gear, then I think the...

What we have here is another example of "tragedy of the commons", unfortunately. There are social costs no matter how we load the scale. Too lose, and people will summon helicopters for trivial matters, as you note. Too restrained, and people will attempt to self rescue with possible disastrous...

Fantastic stuff guys. Thanks for sharing!
