Not on a FJ but on my XJ I modded the stock airbox to draw air from the cowling area which is where the HVAC system gets it's air from. This also moves the intake up to the base of the windshield. Exhaust I just left stock.

I carry the sensors that will leave me stranded, a serpentine belt and a u-joint of each size I need. Honestly I'll probably take those out and leave them behind next trip. There's not a whole lot I need to bring. There are parts stores and post offices all over the US, it's freed up a lot of...

Trans and clutch out. Getting close to transitioning from tear down to build up.

HAM, GMRS, CB, APRS Not all at the same time but I can operate HAM and GMRS at the same time then I have another radio section in the vehicle that I swap back and forth from APRS to CB as needed. My radios are a mix of cheap Chinese stuff and surplus Motorola gear.

I'll share a few GAIA waypoints for ya here to get you started. This one is creek side with a pull though that should work for your trailer. Last time I was there the creek was flowing and made for a nice place ot stay as I could cool off in the creek...

Plenty of dispersed sites. Many with plenty of room for a trailer. I suggest just going up and start hitting the dirt roads and you won't be on there long before you start finding sites.

Got the tub off and power washed along with the frame. We though the frame was full of mud. Was actually full of dirt dauber nests. Those things are quite resistant to even the power washer but I think i got the frame blasted out. Got the caked on oil blasted off as well. Going to roll the...

Welcome from Hunt County.

Many headliners are fuzzy enough to work as the loop part of velcro so the patches will just stick up there.

Even if it's got a little moisture contamination it'll work good enough to get you home where you can repair the system which will probably require a flush/bleed anyway.

I used to carry a lot of spare fluids. OVer time I carried less and less till now I basically carry none. I have a quart of oil and a half quart of ATF now, in MSR fuel bottles. Everything else is gone. My XJ does leak a little oil, about a quart every 2500-3000 miles. If I didn't leak that...

Managed to hobble around the shop enough to change the oil on the XJ and pulled a few more things off of the CJ. Really want my leg to get better so I can get this tub off lol.

Bought this for another tablet that I was going to use but bought one with an internal GPS chip. Practically brand new. 50 dollars shipped. Local pickup ok as well in Greenville or McKinney Tx.

Slap a locker in that bad boy and you'll be good for nearly anything.

That first graphic is one of my favorite to share when people start getting really worked up on high gain antennas. Many times in the terrain we work in that's counter productive.

Was working on my new CJ5 project out in the garage trying to cut the horribly built front bumper/winch setup off. While cutting an upright on the bullbar the grinder (with cut off wheel) got caught and it ripped it out of my hands and fell to my shin. It cut me quite deep and the bleeding...

This morning I got up and busted out a few hours of work getting the interior ripped out and a few other odds and ends removed like the home made roll bar and the rotting windshield frame. One of the POs did some "interesting" wiring on the Jeep. Should be a fun project and not too much effort...

I added another one to the garage. 73 CJ5. 304 V8, T15 3 speed manual, and Dana 20 transfercase. It needs some TLC but will run and drive It's going to slowly make its way back to a more stock condition.

Built in airpump.

I run a double ended male cigarette lighter port plug to charge my box while "underway". I've seen no issues with this but I"m far from an expert on it. As long as I don't leave it plugged in when the Jeep is off for extended periods of time I shouldn't have any "dueling" battery issues but...
