Rear Axle Bearing Play? I have a 2006 Rubicon with 52K miles and Alloy USA shafts. Should there be any IN/OUT play in the axle shaft with the retaining plate torque to spec? When I push and pull on the axle I can feel the slight bit of movement. I cannot make it clunk or anything like that...

Just found out that Swiss Army Vehicles has some surplus cans for sale. These are the units with the cool fuel label tags that fit in spring loaded holder near the lid. http://www.pinzgauer.com/showdetails.php?cat=surplus&partno=SAV1100U

Besides the nice article in OJ, what do we know about this unit? Will there be any tracking feature? Will there be a subscription? I figure the $800 price tag is not that bad if it has some of the tracking/website features of the SPOT depending on subscription rates. If thre is not...

Take a look at this video of Roothy from 4wdAction getting stuck and being assisted by a Land Rover. The Land Rover on the other side of the River must have the longest winch extension I have ever seen. I wonder how many wraps were on the winch of the FJ because I would have thought his own...

Looks like PETT has the old OD backs for the military sector. Of course they have new civilians ones as well, but I like the original OD version. Below are some links on where to find them and the pages on PETT's site...

Strange clunking sound in rear axle…not drive line slack. Ok, I have a strange sound coming from the rear end that occurs after the slack in the driveline is taken up. Normally, I would attribute this to loose or damaged controls arms. I have eliminated this possibility by systematically...

Looks like Superwinch has a new series of winches out. I really like the stats on these, but hate the marketing name and they should be painted black not dark blue. http://www.superwinch.com/products/category/Talon+Series/4377.0.1.1.29903.84269.0.0.0

I don't like the paint job, but I like the direction Jeep Corp is thinking. Related story: http://blog.caranddriver.com/jeep-bringing-six-hopped-up-mopar-built-vehicles-to-annual-moab-easter-jeep-safari/

I just wanted to share my latest find. Vertx Pants. I received 2 pairs of these for Christmas in both OD and Desert Tan. They are by far the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. I now prefer them over my Mtn Khakis. The 98%cotton 2% spandex material feels like regular cotton...

So it seems Front Runner has a Roof Top Tent. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this tent? The weight of 84lbs and packed height of 7.85" is a great improvement over the current offerings in the market. What would be nice to see is an overland journal review of this tent using...
