The axle shafts have to match the carrier. You cannot change to different spline counts without changing the carrier. If you are thinking about a locker, and thus may be replacing the carrier, then it is worth considering making a change in spline count. If you are considering an ARB or Ox...

On a '96 the U-joints are not so small. I think '96 is the first year of the larger U-joints on the XJ. If you want to do any upgrades, like lockers, consider stepping up to larger axle shafts. First step should be to figure out which axle shafts you have in your 8.25. In '96 Chrysler made...

A full size SUV needs a full size trailer to go with it, right? How many feathers will I ruffle if I call this my current overlanding setup?

That is a bummer about Belgium. Chit-chat, personal comms and emergency is what ham is all about here. Nothing commercial or profane and no music. Other than that you can talk about pretty much anything. I suspect a big part of the growth of ham has to do with the readily available cheap...

You were lucky. We didn't have a wheel. We had to drag ourselves uphill through broken ice and glass shards, both ways.

And you can bet the descendants of those who crossed the Bering strait were critical of the pioneers and their wagons. They just didn't have a technologically advanced means of expressing their criticism. I think we can trace overlanding at least as far back as Abraham and his departure from...

I have friends who run this in their Sportsmobile: http://www.ravelco.com/ Not cheap, but if you want it done right...

And friends comment "You put a 'Club' on that heap?" Yes. Yes I do. And this is why. It is a shame, but this is the world we live in.

That place is beautiful!

I saw that. And I think it is very short-sighted. Just think ahead ten years or so. There should be a fabulous supply of gently used trail vehicles and equipment on the secondary market. That sounds like a win to me.

LOL!!

The worst part is that you don't know if those products actually are toxic, like mercury and lead, or if they merely cause tumors in lab rats when 10,000 times their body weight has been injected into them. Good luck sorting out which things actually are bad for you. Personally, I think being...

I am going to go out on a limb here and deduce that if your name is Luke then you are a male. If that conclusion is correct then you are already hosed: As far as Kali is concerned, testosterone causes cancer. See here: https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/chemicals/testosterone-and-its-esters...

I try to hit all my zerk fittings after every trip for the sake of flushing things through. It is a cheap thing to do, and doesn't take long. And it gets me underneath my vehicle so I can take a good look at things and see if anything looks like it needs attention. I think paying attention to...

I don't think Kali will care either way if it is white gas or propane. I have heard rumors that the Boy Scouts banned white gas, but doing a search it does not appear that is the case, although I can imagine they spend a good bit of time worrying about the creative fun boys can have with such...

If you go to the North Rim stop at Jacob Lake and get some cookies. Those are some tasty treats.

Suburbans are a good solid platform and make a great family hauler. Happy hunting.
