Ok, where to start? I'll just go with the statement about diesels. Not true. Chevy sells, by far, more 3.6 ZR2's than diesels. Sales data shows MANY conquest sales for the Colorado. EVERY truck has a weakness or compromise. Put some shock mount armor on the ZR2 and get a good spotter...

I love both of them, but would go ZR2 for a couple of reasons. First, it has a much more comfortable interior, where you spend most of your time. I'm 6'5" tall and the ZR2 has more head room and you sit more up off the floor. The windshield also comes back more so you can have an easier time...

Nice XJ!

That is a REALLY nice rig! Well done!

A few buddies and I are heading to the Rimrocker Trail and Moab in October, if anyone wants to come along. We're camping one night on the Rimrocker and possibly one more somewhere else (White Rim?) and spending the rest in a hotel in Moab. We're leaving at about noon on the 18th of October and...

It took probably 4 or 5 days to get mine. Not too bad. The badge is very nice. It is a substantial little hunk of metal.

That just looks like such a neat and unusual experience. My kids would go nuts seeing those relics! How many acres hold the trails?

Amazing! Do you have to be ex-military to get the pass, or can civies get one, too?

Great videos, pics, and great Jeep! It is good to see someone else wheeling a manual transmission, too! Last time I was in Moab, in 2015, with my JK, I stalled it on a tough section one time. My buddy with a 2012 JK auto laughed his head off. Then, on a really treacherous steep hill with...

I added just a little bit to the JL's effective combat range. It is a 3.5 gallon Rotopax on a custom plate.

Good point. I think my JK has a high output alternator, and I know the JL does. The JK was able to recover the Duralast quickly, but I think it just struggled with reserve capacity. My fridge resides in the JL, btw, because I haven't yet run 12v power to the cargo area of the JK. (It is a...

I bought the Northstar rebadged for Batteries Plus Stores. I was able to get a discount by ordering online, then they installed it at the store, using a device to keep the radio from resetting, which was nice. It was the same size and took no special fitting attachments or devices. It was a...

Get a Northstar AGM and then never worry and bypass the hassle, weight, and complexity of two batteries. The Northstar transformed the performance of the electrical system performance on my JK. The JL will get one at the end of the bumper to bumper warranty.

I used the TRX7 on snowmobiling trips in Michigan and it worked very well. It had all the trails in the Manistee area, and SW Michigan, too. I'll be using it in October on the Rimrocker trail and also in Moab. It appears to have those well documented in it. I'd be interested to see if it...

Tuffy makes a tailgate security box for the new JL Wrangler that is 6" deep and the door folds down for use as a flip down table, too. It is $299 and appears easy to install. It can hold 40lbs on the table. I'm seriously considering this, for both the table and the very secure storage. I'm...

I found it!

I tried out the two Midlands today in my Jeeps, including the JK with the MXT115 with a 6db gain antenna and magnetic mount stuck on the cowling in front of the windshield and the JL with the MXT275 with the little included antenna in a not so optimal mount. The Jeep JL has an aluminum body...

Can't wait! I'm heading there in October, via the Rimrocker.

I installed the MXT275 in the JL today. I'm temporarily using the little antenna that came with it, though, until I can fabricate a much better one. Whichever is in use will be hanging from the dash, while the other will sit to the side. My navigator (kid) can monitor one, if using both. It...

I'm going to try to pick one up at Best Buy and will tell you know how it does.
