    Dual battery compatibility?

    Just a quick question for some of you 12 volt gurus...I'm getting ready to do a dual battery system in my Jeep LJ. I already have a high quality AGM Group 34 under the hood and I'm shopping for the auxiliary battery. I was considering the Optima Blue Top Marine Dual Purpose Starting/Deep Cycle...

    Next Gen Wrangler to Get 3.0L EcoDiesel and 8-speed Auto

    Probably a combination of both fuel and soot...and diluting oil with fuel isn't ideal either IMO. I'm just suggesting people do their research about EGR and DPF systems BEFORE they buy a modern diesel and then decide if they are willing to deal with the "side effects" or annoyances of modern...

    Next Gen Wrangler to Get 3.0L EcoDiesel and 8-speed Auto

    I hope all of you who are excited about a Diesel engine in the Wrangler have done your research about the BS emissions equipment on modern diesels...on the pickups there is an EGR system and DPF system. Both are ridiculous systems and I can't believe that engineers couldn't come up with...

    Those that have run AirLift 1000 bags?

    Well this is good news and feedback. Thanks guys. Any comments regarding the articulation being severely limited when off-roading?

    Those that have run AirLift 1000 bags?

    To those of you that have run the Airlift 1000 (in coil) airbags in your jeeps...Have you found that they have/do hold up well? Air leaks/tears/abrasion from coil rub/etc? Do they hold air reliably enough to NOT have to install an automated system to maintain pressures? After exhausting all...

    air shocks

    I'm doing airbags right now with my LJ...I don't think having them on independent lines is the way to go. I think tying them together is the way to go...I'm mainly building an expedition style rig, but I do also rockcrawl occasionally and I think the articulation will be VERY limited if one bag...

    tire clearance ?

    Wish I could tell you for sure...but I'm in the same boat here. Currently designing my trailer on paper trying to come up with the ideal measurements for frame/box based on my tow vehicles track width and WMS(WHEEL MOUNT SURFACE) to WMS. As it stands right now, my tow vehicle and thus my trailer...

    ARB Series 3 Simpson RRT?

    Looking at purchasing my first RTT. Really don't want to spend more than about $2000 Canadian tops. So here in my neck of the woods, the ARB Simpson 3 goes for about $2100. I did quite a bit of research already and read a lot of reviews and overall my impression is this tent is good value for...

    ARB fridge power question

    Okay, wiring is not my strong point so I have a question...I'm going to run a direct power feed from my battery to the rear of my jeep using 10 guage wire and Anderson plugs...cutting off the cig plug of the fridge. The ARB cig plug has an 8amp fuse in it, but in the ARB fridge manual it states...

    Hey cool...I'm in Langdon, just outside Calgary. Do you mind sharing how much you paid and where you bought the batteries? You can pm me if you prefer. Thanks. RACKMAN

    Northstar Batteries???

    Went out to do some research on what brand/type of battery to use as my aux battery in the dual battery set up I'm doing using the Painless Preformance dual battery wiring kit...came across a brand called Northstar. Made in USA, AGM, 880CCA, 134 RC, listed as capable of dual purpose use(starting...

    TJ/LJ owners running Outback Solutions Drawers?

    Any chance someone with a TJ or LJ is using the Outback Solutions Drawers and can post a pic? Even though they are ridiculously expensive, I'm considering them for my LJ Rubicon. Thanks. RACKMAN

    Dual battery tray for TJ/LJ

    Oh that's great, I could not find that on their website for some reason...I thought they weren't making them anymore. I think I will likely go this route. Are you completely happy with the tray? Any issues...I will need to re-route A/C right?

    Dual battery tray for TJ/LJ

    Yes, I heard that, but I believe Smittybuilt started having them built in China and it was no where near the quality of the original produced by MeanGreen.

    Dual battery tray for TJ/LJ

    Yes, thank you. But I would be limited to using the smaller Odyssey batteries with that tray...no? Would rather have the option of using regular size batteries...not sure I want to use the Odyssey batteries. It just seems that there are less choices these days for dual battery trays...as far as...
