that was a yj transmission, not in the cj line.

I would start by putting an oem tail light back in it. Often times aftermarket parts are way less reliable than oem (most of the time) and your wiring is not designed for low draw leds. That would be the easiest fix. If the standard bulbs are on and running your battery down, check the brake...

figuring springs is a difficult thing to do as there isn’t any direct comparison between competitors, so I’ll share my info. My JKU fully loaded ranges from 6150 to 6400 lbs. I’ve managed to hit a dot scale every trip asI’ve been working on some weight loss. I’m running the ome 2620 springs in...

That’s the best warn winch made!

Old Man Emu are much better than the Rancho 5000's I've ran in the past. Bilsteins seem to work pretty good also, but they're bare metal with no finish.

The Doormobile conversions really put the Land Rover Series over the top in the cool factor for me. There's a lady named Terri Anne Wakeman who has a nice site chronicling her build and adventures in a series 2 Rover and I've spent many hours looking around there...

In a 78 CJ7 you'll have a dana 20 transfer case with either standard shift transmission. The dana 20 has a rather tall low range of 2:1 so the immediate advantage of the four speed offered (T18) is that it has a 4:1 first gear versus the three speeds (T150) first gear ratio of 3.15:1. The four...

That's a good idea. I was thinking of buying the AEV fuel can for my JKU but I could run jerry cans instead and be able to carry fuel or water!

been there, done that years ago! It worked pretty well actually.

I'm a little behind on technology and was really amazed when I seen this video! It might be worth checking out. I bought a Superchips Flashpaq F5, and it does everything I want but an iphone app and adapter would have been way cheaper!

That's a very nice looking truck! I'll admit we drove through a dealer lot yesterday and gawked at them for a minute, just long enough to avoid a salesman, but it's going to be some time before were in the position or the market again. I think that could be the best choice currently out there...

These would come in handy for visiting Portland, Seattle, Kenosha, Minneapolis etc... :)

While I'm not completely disagreeing, there are plenty of places that I've gone in eastern Oregon where extra fuel is a requirement. There's not really a requirement for point to point travel, but if you want to explore a little you definitely need more fuel. I took a trip to the Steens and the...

My JKU weighed 5050 off of the showroom floor which left just enough load capacity for my family and our dog!

I agree, my Jeep needs Jennie Craig! I scaled 6300 On my last trip. I need to find ways to remove more stuff.

We love our J30. I wouldn’t really compare it to a roof too tent though. If you do that it loses economically every time, but it is so much more than a tent.There isn’t a lot of “overlanders” around our rural area but we will occasionally see a roof top tent out in the road and my wife always...

I like the maxtrax idea but I never really cared for carrying fuel or water so high up. Rebel off road sells inserts that install into the hardtop windows for carrying rotopax. I think it looks cool but I can't imagine carrying them there on a busy freeway where you might need to make a high...

If you get an Ursa Minor camper or a roof top tent and rack you're going to want the heaviest duty spring you can get, like an Old Man Emu 2620. Mine is pretty conservatively built and that's what I ended up with after trying the 2618's. My JKUR currently weighs 5300 lbs without passengers and...

I can't! I think I'd be testing the top speed of that pinto and gettin the H out of dodge! Awesome pic though.....awesome.
