I have the same shocks (see my build thread here), I find them to be super stiff when I'm going on terrible public roads with lots of potholes and stuff at low speeds. How do you find yours?

How about on top? I've had my emblem for a month and still can't decide..

Nice rig, how do you like those [Teraflex?] speedbumps?

When something won't budge you FIRST try harder, if it still won't budge you look to see what you did wrong.. Male logic haha

I know that feeling, when I go away for business and return to see my Jeep in the garage, big smiles. I love Defenders too, and yours is brilliant.

I double duty my hiking gear. It's less than 4lbs for the whole system, and would fit into a cast iron stove. Here it is setup next to the Jeep in a very tiny designated camping spot. Unfortunately I don't have an pics of the inside, but I use a Western Mountaineering Summerlite sleeping bag...

I've followed Andrew St Pierre White for some time now and for one reason or another never stumbled upon his "Overland Workshop" series. After watching one episode, I was thoroughly pleased with the ideas and information given off and figured what better place to share it than here. So here it...

Where did you take your tread lightly training?

I'm a fan of KISS, makes trail life easy. I probably should have been more descriptive in my post and specified "longer control arms". I was looking at control arms for specific lift heights after I originally posted and saw the price difference, and it made me wonder, is an adjustable joint as...

That's why retaining the factory crush cans are important in an aftermarket bumper (for low speeds anyhow). I do wonder how well my bumper would hold up to a 1000lbs moose though, haha.

Keep in mind the added protection that a steel or aluminum bumper adds. Protecting my radiator and engine compartment for that matter was the main reason I bought the AEV front bumper (which retains factory crush cans). While I agree weight savings are important, I commonly travel in areas with...

Will it cause sag? Highly likely depending on your springs/spring rate. If you want to know how much sag, find yourself someone who weighs 133lbs and have them sit on your bumper. However, generally speaking you could expect 1/2" of sag on stock springs. My AEV bumper weighs around the same and...

The other week I had a friend of mine help install some remote reservoir shocks. I asked him to hold the clamp which secures the reservoir to the shock body... as I took my hands off the clamp, which is solid aluminum, the thing drops flat onto my face... turns out he never had a "good grip". A...

The Tacoma without lockers and weighed down didn't make it past that point. It's steeper than it looks!

Check out this thread, it is 20 pages and going of OB emblem placement. Edit: Thanks for merging the threads, @Michael.

Looks awesome, I contemplated an RTT but I can't get over the increase in ridge height... no place to store it either. I said it before, but, I love the look of your Jeep! Are your wheels alloy or steel, they look like alloys.

For "emergencies", like if the above happens and there is no substantial dry wood for a campfire you can carry liquid fuel stoves (such as white gas) which work below freezing but do require priming. Alternate fuel stoves such as the Biolite, are also good and can literally run on a pile of...

I don't see why not, spread the word during the winter season!

Good old Ronny Dhal.. Sand driving mostly comes down to PSI and momentum. Saw this video from Roothy the other day randomly.
