Disclaimer: I know nothing about CB radios. I am looking for suggestions on a CB for my rig. Nothing fancy. Just something I can use to communicate on the trail or on the highway. I have two ideas on what to use, as I have mapped out cable routing and antenna position. I have looked at Cobra...

What air filter do you run and why do you run it?

Do you run boots on your shocks or no? Why do you run them that way?

Looking at getting either a K&N CAI or a snorkel to help my rig breathe a little better and possibly boost the MPG's slightly. I'm running a 4.7 V8 in my WJ with a free'er flowing exhaust. I've tuned the ECU to get the best MPG's possible with that setup. Just wondering who has experience with...

Just spitballing some ideas for future upgrades for my rig. I do not have a winch, but I do have recovery points and tow straps. I was looking at my options as I have a unique from bumper setup that will only accommodate a traditional winch via 2in receiver mount if I add in the option of a 2in...

I'm probably opening up a can of worms here by bringing this up, but how does everyone feel about the reduction in size to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase? Is there more to come? As Overlanders, I would think we would all oppose this change and destruction, but I could be wrong. While I don't...

I get the benefits of having your hood blacked out with a flat/matte paint, but is black the only color that offers the same benefits, or can I run any flat/matte color?

I am planning on making the drive to Flagstaff for Overland Expo West 2018 from Emporia, KS. If anyone wants to join me and form a convoy along the way, let's discuss! I plan on leaving to be down there for the festivities on Wednesday May 10th and then camping in the nearby dispersed camping. I...

Just curious what oil everyone uses and why. Brand, weight, type? I use Valvoline Conventional 5w30 in the winter and 10w30 in the summer (sometimes). It's good quality, relatively inexpensive, and I won't use a full or blend synthetic due to the amount of miles on the vehicle before I had the...

I posted this on my build thread, but I wanted to open this up to all who may not see it. Looking at spending a larger chunk than I'm used to, so I'm trying to prioritize what is needed first. Looking at adding a lift, rock sliders/skid plate/high clearance trans crossmember. I feel that the...

Somewhat baffled that Kansas is part of the Rocky Mountain region! Anyone in Kansas have any trips planned out, ideas for trips, or want to meet up?

Since it's sort of a no-no to bring in firewood from out of the area you're camping in, where do you source your firewood? Gas stations are usually the first option that comes to mind, but their quality isn't to speak about as it's usually still somewhat green.

I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with the Platinum Duralast batteries. I have used their standard batteries in other vehicles but never had a need for a higher performance battery till now. It looking like my current battery might be on it's way out and I'm looking to go from an OEM...

Are rock sliders worth it for very mild to mild wheeling? If so, which would be a good brand to go with for a Jeep WJ? I like the idea of having a step, and I'm all for the protection, but I haven't been wow'd by anything I've seen as I'd have to modify the plastics.

I was recently given an old "milspec" Coleman Leaded Gasoline lantern, produced in 1963, which is the 252 model from what I understand. Anyone have experience rebuilding and maintaining these? After some cleanup, lubrication, and fresh fuel, she will not flow any fuel through. I'm holding some...

Looking for some suggestions on a small air compressor. Something cost and space effective. I was looking at a jumper box with the built-in compressor, but the reviews left me questioning that route. I don't plan on a ton of airing down and back up as this would be on a daily driven rig, but I...

As I searched this forum for a case for my road atlas, I only found cases for GPS's, tablets, etc. I guess I'm old school rolling with paper maps. Anyone have a suggestion on a solid case for an atlas that's 12" x 16"? I know OB Michael uses a garment bag, but I couldn't find one like his.

Looking to replace the muffler on my 2004 WJ w/ 4.7 V8. The stock one is leaking due to a rusted out seam and I am trying to resolve this on a budget. Catback systems are available, but even the cheap option is right around $300. Looking to spend no more than half that if possible. I've looked...

I'm traveling to the Fort Collins area at the end of the month and will be in and around the area from Sept. 29th to Oct. 2nd. Looking to meet up and hang out, maybe grab/make coffee or grab some food/beer. Let me know! This will be my first long distance overlanding trip on my own and with my rig.

Looking to add either lockers or some sort of LSD to my '04 WJ. I'd prefer to have sometime requiring little to no maintenance out of the ordinary and be as budget friendly as possible. Anyone have any suggestions? It's daily driven, so I'd like to maintain as much of the driveabilty as possible...
