Now that I seem to have fully recovered from my New Years case of Covid and caught up on work, I have had some time to get back out in the shop and do some more testing/investigating. Still bugged by great leakdown results but crappy compression test I pulled the plugs again and did a retest...

Feniex makes some good stuff, have had them on several emergency rigs in the past, just installed one of their rear chase bars they sell via KC Lites. have it rigged up with tail/brake/turn, white back up and yellow chase lights that are either constant or strobe. works great on the trail...

Will try to grab a couple of pics later today

Bill, Welcome to Overland Bound!

Steve, Welcome to Overland Bound from across the country.

Hello Dan, welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State, nice to see another way a snorkel earns its keep, I have seen them used for reducing dust intake in the desert, here in the NW they are good for keeping the rivers at bay, apparently in Alaska used to keep the intake above the...

Have a Viar single compressor and a 3 gallon air tank mounted under the cab of our Ram. Routed the air intake up through the left front corner of the bed and installed a filter just below the bed rail (Bed has a hard cover). Been installed for about 5 years and have had no issues. Not the...

really awesome! We could do a super small house or motorhome, but not sure I could give up having a shop, we both spend more time tinkering then being in the house...lol

We use a RedARC manager 30 with a 100ah amazon special lipo battery. the DCDC portion of the manager 30 will recharge the house battery from 20% to full in two or three hours of driving, we also have (2)100 watt solar panels set up with a 30 foot extension cord with Anderson connectors that we...

Have not seen one of those in ages..lol

Sharon, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State, look forward to seeing photos of your adventures. Ride Safe.

Jason, sent you a PM so that we don't hijack the new member thread with a bunch of Jeep chat...lol Also when I went to send the PM your screen name is showing as jason_c02aeb which the site says does not exist, but your profile has jaymoore24 which seemed to send just fine. Not sure...

Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State! We have found the WJ to be an excellent platform for both overlanding and pulling behind an RV. We currently have around 220k on our 2000 WJ over 130k of that after it got totaled and we rebuilt it. It tows really well and is very capable with...

Roscoe, Welcome to Overland Bound!, look forward to seeing some photos of your travels, always good to see great locations from other countries.

Jimmy, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State. Congratulations on the new XJ, they are a capable rig and make a great off road platform, plus they have a touch more room than the old Sammy lol

The XJ is a great platform and very capable right out of the box. My recommendation is to get some basic gear and get out and explore with it. The following gear may not be the cool mods and things to trick out your rig, but will allow you to have some great adventures without breaking the...

Was worried about the gauge also, pressure tested it with a compressor and a known gauge, right on par. I was expecting more like 140 psi. (Engine had been parked for a couple of days and was cold, did not try squirting any oil down the bores to see if it improved anything) Other items: -...

Don't think the throttle was it as the intake plenum has to come off on the 3.6 to get the plugs out of the left head so its wide open. Pretty sure the valves are sealing well, no sign of air leakage thru tailpipe or intake during leak down test, and 2% drop usually a good sign of ring...

We keep 2 dry chems in each rig, 1 in back and 1 behind the driver. In addition we have added an Element centrally located between driver and passenger (along with a bright orange rescue knife with seatbelt cutter and window breaker) that either one of us can reach after an accident. Added a...

We love heading out to remote places for stargazing, gotten to the point where all the cameras, spotting scope, binoculars, drone take up a considerable amount of space in the Jeep. got tired of soft bags and pelican cases all over the place and ended up building a custom drawer cabinet behind...
