Yup normal. Propane is stored as a liquid (it's a liquefied petroleum gas). This is how you get so much energy stored in a 1lb bottle of propane. As you use the gas off the top the liquid converts into more gas to take it's place. This is why you can't use a propane tank upside down and if...

Optimal would be the stock height the vehicle was engineered with from the factory. You already have a Rubicon. Arguably one of the most off road ready consumer vehicles to ever roll off an assembly line and far more capable in stock form than people give them credit for. If it was me I'd...

Everywhere north of Beavers Bend State park. I assume you have some mapping or nav software? If so look north of Broken Bow (the city itself) and follow 259. Both sides of 259 have various FS and county roads running off into the woods. Check your mapping software and stay in the areas...

Larger than stock could always benefit from a regear, the XJ espeically responds well to regears IMO they were geared a bit too high out of the factory anyway. If you're going to put an ARB in anyway then you might as well regear since even the stock gears would have to be reset as if they were...

I've heard even less on on the 70cm Calling freq. My normal daily monitoring is 2m Call, local HAM repeater, local GMRS repeater. When I'm out of the local area on my own 2m Call 70cm Call OB GMRS OB VHF If I'm with a group I'l replace one of those, usually 70cm call, with whatever our group...

Nope lol. @Prerunner1982 check your PMs for our last day tracks. I'm going over to Gaia now to pull the link so it'll be a few mins.

Yeah they're bastardized D44s. The front is a D44 center section with nearly all D30 parts past that. It's a weird duck and not as strong as people think they are. Well the Roof Rack and RTT aren't exactly necessities just niceties. There's over 200 lbs there. What's the point of a fridge...

Very well aware of that, but it is the NATIONWIDE calling frequency and supposed to be used to "call" out to other users and I can count on one had how many people I've heard calling on it, and I make pretty regular CQ calls just cause and have talked to even less. And while the HAM repeater...

You're probably overbuilt for the vast majority of Texas. Unless you are in an OHV park pretty much all of Texas is accessible (the public parts anyway which there aren't many) via a stock vehicle. The Hill County area is starting to get a little crazy as far as popularity for "overlanding"...

1. What do people you run with use? The best HAM radio in the world does you no good if all of your buddies are on CB and not willing to make the move over. 2. Are you willing to get licensed? 3. Dont' discount GMRS if you simply do not want to deal with HAM licensing. For what the vast...

Was that photo prerunner is asking about taken after we split up?

Yeah I don't even remember passing that.

Had a good time. Its nice to get out there with like minded folks. Added a lot of new campsite markers to GAIA including a few in already ready to get back to. I went up a day early and explored a bit of the area on the west side of 259. Most unusual thing spotted was a bed on saw horses ha...

These kinds of questions come up a lot on various FB groups (and here obviously). I always tell people not to fall into the "mod hole". Some basic camping gear, basic recovery gear and a gas card. Work from there and figure out what works best for you. My vehicle is also my daily driver so...

You can easily build a cowl intake out of the stock airbox and it doesn't move the intake "honk" into the cab with you, I've heard people complain of ear ringing after a long highway slog with the THOR intake. It also keeps the superior filtering stock paper element filter vs an oiled gauze...

I've got a hard mounted USB port in my passenger side cubby and just route a cable about 10 inches that way to the port. Keeps it out of my way and clean.

Cowl intake mod using the stock airbox. Keeps the exterior stock looking and even underhood it doesn't look out of place. Drops IATs to about 10 degrees over ambient at speed and moves the intake from behind the headlight to the base of the windshield. All of my XJs but my first one have had...

I'd bet running straight to the battery would help cut down on all or most of the issues with electronic noise.

I've seen mixed reviews on them. No matter how much ingenuity companies seem to apply it's hard to beat a hard mounted mount.
