    Axles

    [/USER] No issues with CAD on the OP's Jeep. Chrysler dropped that system about 10 years before the OP's XJ was built. Getting rid of the D35 also means getting rid of ABS. Do your homework on that project. It is a common thing to do. Going to 15" wheels means you are giving up a WJ brake...

    Faux overlander

    Oh yeah! I also remember the Toyota pickups on 44s. All chromed out underneath. But missing the front driveshaft. Even had cool airbrushed graphics, just like the vans used to have. The idea of picking up some trail pinstripes would have sent their owners into fits of apoplexy. Nothing...

    Field deployable 2m antenna.

    It sounds like the point is to get something lightweight high up in the trees. To that end you could probably work with nothing more than a wire cut to the proper length. You could play around with half-wavelength or full wavelength or whatever other fraction seems to best suit your efforts...

    Field deployable 2m antenna.

    The Diamond NR770HB that lives on my rig has been all I have ever felt the need for. Generally, if folks are setting up antennas it is for HF. However, if you really wanted some extra gain I would suggest you look at some of the backpack style yagis. I have an Arrow that I have put to good...

    Faux overlander

    I can only aspire to such heights of elitism. And I can already hear The Bride complaining about getting into that thing while wearing a skirt.

    Fuel smell and bad mileage

    Not that plugs and filter aren't worth doing, but I would regard O2 sensors as a higher priority. If the vehicle is running rich and you aren't getting any codes for it then at the very least something is wrong with the downstream O2 sensor(s), and I would expect the upstream to be bad as...

    Faux overlander

    Yep! And keep in mind, they are helping to fuel the market that will develop new toys. It doesn't matter who is buying the toys, just so long as there is enough of a market to make it worthwhile for manufacturers to keep developing and producing them. Let the posers play their games. They...

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    I like High West. But out of Colorado? Last I checked, even less likely than Colorado, they were out of Utah, near Salt Lake City. I have their double rye on hand. I have been told I need to find their Yippee Ki-Yay. I will have to add Rendezvous to the list.

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    For a Scotsman you need more recommendations without the "e". Campbell Town has some great whiskies. Kilkerran 8 yr cask strength is a winner you should be able to find. Awesome, but unobtanium, is Longrow Red port finish (note they use a different finish each year--port was several years...

    Buddy Heater suspected as cause of death

    Misconception probably is on account of folks not being able to keep CO and CO2 straight. CO2 is heavier than air. CO2 won't poison you that same way CO will, but CO2 can kill you by displacing the air you need in a low place. The "Dog Grotto" is an example of this.

    4 Wheel Drive issues

    There is a switch on the T-case. It could be as simple as the plug not being properly seated on the switch. Or perhaps the switch could be bad. Not a high likelihood, but theoretically possible. Those would be the simple things to check and diagnose. Potentially more challenging would be...

    Gas/Diesel Availability

    That is where it is at if you want to increase your odds of finding fuel.

    Sleeping arrangements for toddlers

    We used a Pack-n-Play. I am not sure if that counts the same as a portable crib or not. It was smaller than a crib and didn't seem to take up too much space in our tent. I don't think it was any wider than an adult sleeping bag. When our tent got good and flooded during a rain storm he was...

    Should I change vehicles?

    I would absolutely replace a Ridgeline. The limitations you are running into are exactly what I would expect with that platform. But I wouldn't make a hasty purchase, particularly given that you can still have fun with it. I would also be slow to get a Gladiator if that is what you have your...

    Buddy Heater suspected as cause of death

    Everything the media does is political. If nothing else, companies are evil, and those who use their products are either victims or are willfully harming the garden of Eden. If the media praises something you can bet they are on the take.

    Buddy Heater suspected as cause of death

    It is just so refreshing to hear they had to admit to one of their lies. I am waiting to next hear that it wasn't actually a man and a dog, but two pigs and a chicken. In a dog kennel.

    Stock Rene what to do first

    What does it have now? If it is rolling on street tires you might be best off getting a set of trail tires (not necessarily any larger, just more capable of handling dirt, rocks and mud). What sort of use is it going to see? If it is your daily driver then one set of rules applies. If it is...

    Nice to know they lied to us. I feel so much better now. :smirk:
