Great write up by Andrew, We have a 1999 WJ also and have made many of the same repairs, with the blend doors in the heater being the biggest pain, but have had no issues with the heat since then, We have the 4.7 V8 and the full time Quadra Drive II transfer case and it has worked wll for...

Hello French, Welcome to Overland Bound! Your off to a good start with the rig you have, no need to be in a huge hurry to get everything all at once, just get out and enjoy the many places that truck will take you in stock configuration. I would suggest adding a good first aid kit and...

Welcome to Overland Bound, Nice looking rig, love the Ursa Minor, have been thinking about potentially going with one of those. I used to belong to King County 4x4 SAR many moons ago, a great organization.

I do like that flatbed, very modular, almost looks like you could just lift it off with a forklift when you don't need it... Looking forward to what you turn that Ram into though!

We also run the MXT275, even though its only 15 watts, I have not had any issue with range to date, I like the small form factor of an all in one microphone due to lack of space in the Jeep for a third radio. I will likely wait for the MXT575 to come available for the one rig do not have...

Yes she is lucky, was found wandering the streets in California after recently having a batch of puppies, shelter figured she had got to the end of usefulness of a back yard breeder and abandoned. Since she still had milk at time the shelter used her to nurse stray puppies as long as they...

I have a Warn 12k Zeon w/ synthetic line on my Ram 3500, and recently purchased a Smittybilt XRC 9500 Gen 3 with synthetic on our Grand Cherokee. I think if I had not purchased and used the Warn first, I might have been happy with the Smittybilt as it works fine so far. But when comparing...

Should not be too hard of a job, The TTB with 400k on it is not too happy and needs a bunch of work, so cost wise will end up a wash, If I locate a complete Dana 60 from a F350 with steering parts, springs and track bar it should be pretty much a bolt in project. May have to have driveline...

Took the course back in October, was a great reminder of how to lighten the impact on our favorite places.

We have Nala, an old German Shepard rescue dog that loves to go on trips, totally loves bumpy roads and camping. Her age is estimated at over 12 years, and hip dysplasia makes it so I have to lift her in and out of the Jeep, but gets so excited for a car ride.

The Makita comes in a top handle version in 10,14, & 16" bars with the 10" being 18 volt, and the other two 36volt, also rear handle (typical chainsaw grip) in 14" & 16" 36 volt with tool less chain adjustment and replacement. I went with the 14 inch rear handle as its big enough to do the...

We went with the full size in-reach, simply because it can work with a phone, but it is fully standalone and has gps mapping features that I can use for backcountry travel without the luxury of a vehicle, whether that be by choice (Backpacking) or necessity (emergency egress, i.e. cut off by...

Steve, Thank you for hosting tonight's online meeting. Learned a couple of things I did not know about rally point, and we had some good conversation about overlanding in general!

That message does not indicate that you have exceeded a limit for events that you have attended, Someone sets a maximum allowed number of vehicles on their event when setting up the Rally Point, once that many people RSVP, everyone after that gets the message.

Seems like all the major brands make a electric saw these days, and all seem to be fairly good. I purchased the larger of the two Makita models since I already have invested way to much into that line of tools and have a ton of batteries and chargers. If you are a tool guy it makes sense to...

We love our old WJ, purchased it used in 2007 with 80k mile and we got rear ended by a 1ton truck three months later causing it to be an insurance total, bought it back for $500 with the intention of parting it out. We ended up rebuilding it with parts sourced from Craigslist as there...

Same ones I run, have never let me down, Love the cam locks. Started running those back in my truck driving days.

Typically run Car Quests platinum house brand, and have been very happy on my lighter rigs (I do use cross drilled rotors). Flush my brake fluid every 2 years to help prevent any issues with the calipers sticking and heating up the brakes. I did go with a full power stop pad and rotor setup on...

Washington is just of $500 for getting caught without chains also. The K02's on the Cherokee have the three peak snow rating, guess because they are all terrain and not MT. Not sure that they deserve the rating though. not bad in snow, but not the best in ice. Have the geolander G015 all...

I have the 7.3 diesel with a 5 speed manual. Have owned it since it was one year old with 20k miles. I do know that I will rebuild the 7.3 and add turbo and exhaust brake, change the twin traction beam front end to a one ton straight axle which will improve the turning orbit a little bit...
