Does your's have a build date on the metal badge on the swing arm?

I couldn't get a clear enough view zooming in on the badge plating, but I'm curious when yours was manufactured, mine is dated 10-14. And yea these things are very rare, especially one as kitted out as yours. Also after going through the archives I was a bit off on a couple things; largest...

This is the first one I've ever seen that's set up almost exactly like mine. It's honestly the best Hitchgate that Wilco ever made, I don't know why they ever stopped producing it. Unfortunately there's very little information out there about these so I may kind of highjack this thread for a...

Check out Adventure Tool Company and Atlas46, both make outstanding products. With that said I just purchased a few canvas tool bags from aliexpress for like $3-4 a piece, I'm thinking about building a drawer system around them. They come in 12", 14" and 16". I don't know what the quality is...

If you want more room than an XJ but don't necessarily need the extra seats that the XK has, take a look at WJs. They're pretty much the same price as XJ's, but definitely more space and far more comfortable. To answer your question I'd say no, an XK is not worth 3x as much as an XJ...

Honestly I'd look at the Smittybuilt's. They're like $700 shipped to your door. Unless you step up to hardshells, I think SB is the way to go, especially with you trying to watch your money. I'd argue that usually what kills/makes someone sell an RTT is mold and issues caused from sitting on...

So I have a 2000x2000 knockoff ebay awning and the ARB deluxe that I've slept in probably a dozen times or so. I'm torn on it. I already had the awning and kinda wanted my camping setup attached to my vehicle for some reason. In hindsight I don't know why. Once we set up camp we don't really...

I'm at 3" on 32's in a 4.0 with a roof rack and a rear tire carrier. At 55mph I can hit 20mpg. Usually my interstate driving is 75-80mph I usually average 16mpg. City is around 12-13mpg. Granted the engine and tranny in mine only have 21k miles. Before the swap at 225k with the same setup I...

At 4" you'll clear the 265's fine. I have 3" IRO's in the front and I don't rub on the bumper at all, but do rub ever so slightly on the control arms, not enough to worry at all though. I thought about going the 235/85 route but I'm very glad I didn't. The 235's just look too narrow on a the...

Get the Sahara, sliders, a rear locker and call it a day. A $20k premium for lockers, swaybar discos, gearing and axles is a bit absurd.

I don't mean to ******** on your sale but you do know these things only cost like $850 new right?

It 100% doesn't have a frame. He's either stupid or wrong, only one of which is forgivable. @k2sb2003 Find me a body lift for a WK, let alone any Grand Cherokee, and I'll believe you.

Did you really revive an 8 year old post just to be wrong? There has never been a body on frame grand cherokee. ZJ, WJ, WK, and WKII, none of them are body on frame.

Your best bet it used. I looked hard for a while for an old style one and ordered what I thought was the old style off amazon, but the newer version showed up. I went camping that weekend and decided ******** it I'll give it a try, and I'm really happy I got the newer version. With all the sides...

It's the IRO 3in lift with cooper AT3 265/75/16. No rub on the fenders or bumpers, but a tiny bit of rub on the lower control arms at full lock, not nearly enough for me to worry about it. It seems most people run into rubbing issues when they put wheel spacers on, and that's when they start...

One thing to be careful with, I believe the Rtics run just a tad bit bigger than their Yeti counterparts. If his Yeti 65 pretty much friction fits with the hatch closed I don't think you'll have room for an Rtic 65. So you may have to either splurge on the Yeti or look into some alternatives...

Glad I could help. When you do the lift, one word of adivce is to get all new spring isolators. It's something I wish I had done when I installed mine, and now if I want to do it I essentially have to pull everything back out to do them. If you're doing a 2in budget boost, you'll only gain...

That really depends what your plans are for the vehicle. I have a 02 WJ and I love it, 217,000 miles and it still runs like a top. I'm partial to the 4.0 motor, but the V8's are fine motors as long as they've been treated right. Check to see if the coolant is green or red, it should be red...

The 4.0 and the 4.7 get pretty much the same gas mileage, which made it hard for me to decide to go with the 4.0, but the reliability of the 4.0 compared to the 4.7 is what I ultimately made my decision around. I can't speak for the 5.2 but I think it gets similar but slightly worse milage than...
