    High Mileage Rigs And Legendary Powerplants

    2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4.7HO - 201K miles. I have hear so many bad things about it and it has been a very solid engine. My rear main seal needs replacing and I will change the timing chain and guides since that is a known weak point. I did replace the lifters since the valve cover...

    SOLD Delete

    I know this goes against all the marketing and hype but Bilstein 7100 shocks are rebuildable and you can custom valve for you vehicle. By the way way cheaper

    Hot Springs

    I am going to bend the rules a bit. It is hot in Florida so we have cool (72 degrees) springs all over. My favorite is Rainbow River.

    2019 Ford Ranger Build

    I got a chance to drive one and I was skeptical of the 4cyl. I was very surprised on the ride and engine. Very cool truck and great build.

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    I guess like all other things it depends. Do you want a reliable and fairly quick compressor ARB or Viair. This also includes very old compressors like my 20 year old Black and Decker. Just something I learned that I hope helps: most of the time when I cut corners or cheap out on something I pay...

    35" vs 37" tires for Jeep Rubicon Unlimited w/ Turtleback Trailer

    TJzO6 had some great points. The JL is much different than the JK. 37 are the new 35s. You have the strength in axles and in the 8speed auto where 37s will be fine. Look at some YouTube videos from way of life and lite bright. How they wheel there vehicles is pretty hard with nothing breaking...

    How About the WJs?

    I have about 10k on an Iron Rock Offroad 3 inch suspension lift on an 04 WJ Overland edition. I am happy with the quality of of the lift but I the limiting factor are the very short front control arms. The ride is affected by the short suspension travel. I am looking to do a long arm kit...

    Anyone ever mount anything UNDER their roof bars?

    I mounted some C Channel to the bottom of the rack. I put some spongy Molding material to keep if from rattling. I used 2 pins to secure it from sliding out the back of the rack. You can access the table from the back of the vehicle. I got the C channel from Lowes. The table I had was a one...
