    2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo

    Looks good and the clearance was probably needed! -TJ

    2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Build

    We caught the Jeep going low on coolant. It's been raining a lot, so we weren't able to confirm if it was leaking or not, so we were actually worried it was consuming coolant. I went ahead and did a combustion gas test on the cooling system, and it came back negative. Now, these tests don't...

    I think you should build one (4wd conversion of course)! -TJ

    I’m between a New Rebel or an older Raptor

    I guess I was extra-SPESHUL yesterday. I guess the ones I'm seeing deeply discounted in my area are 2020s. Still, plenty of dealers have them just sitting on lots starting to get cheaper... -TJ

    I’m between a New Rebel or an older Raptor

    Oh, and just to throw a curve-ball out there what about a new 2019 Gladiator? I've seen a few 2019s discounted already with the 2020s out and the initial hype and mark-ups mostly gone. If you don't need to tow particularly heavy and can live with the NA V6 or turbo I4 (vs. the new diesel...

    I’m between a New Rebel or an older Raptor

    Yeah, the 35"s just give it decent enough clearance for the giant pumpkin, the lower shock mounts, my giant 60 gallon under-belly fuel tank, etc. Again, it is NOT a crawler or remotely a hardcore wheeler. I'm sure I could get it through some pretty hairy stuff if I cared less about it, lol...

    Old Vehicles.

    Nice, you rarely find people with love for those. I just assumed you meant the I6s that seem to have more of a following. -TJ

    Input on Silverado vs Tundra purchase decision?

    I *think* I get what you're saying, but the PW still has the 2500 frame, 2500 running gear, etc. It's a 2500. Yes, the 1660lbs of payload is low, but that's all down to the softer rear springs to allow it to flex and ride better offroad. There are trade-offs when you try to make a full-size...

    I’m between a New Rebel or an older Raptor

    I have a 2011 Chevy I bought brand new in Oct of 2010... haven't had a single light issue. It's my tow pig (and was my DD until about 2 years ago) and certainly isn't a wheeler. That said, it has spent a ton of time offroad, just not what I'd call "wheeling". Mostly either in sand dunes to...

    Input on Silverado vs Tundra purchase decision?

    Your method is definitely the more cost effective method. -TJ

    I6? So much awesome old-school winning in this thread. -TJ

    2018 GMC Canyon MTB/Overland/Adventure Rig

    Oh man, that looks like fun! Vojto and I are trying to figure out a snow wheeling/camping trip in the next week or two... you in? Also, that's interesting the Patagonias are so noisy, all the YT-types seem to rave about how quiet they are... though I suppose they're probably comparing to full...

    Input on Silverado vs Tundra purchase decision?

    Personally I'd delete the stickers. Also, it's not a $20k markup for the PW, it's $8. That said, yes $8k for lockers, an e-disconnect and a winch is kind of crazy. (that price is w/o the PW package, that's just where a Tradesman starts) And here's what the Power Wagon package costs to...

    Input on Silverado vs Tundra purchase decision?

    No front locker. No front electronic sway bar disconnect. No winch. That's 3 strikes... and it's a Ford. -TJ

    15k overland first rig

    The Broncos have been going up a lot in value too... and I totally get it. For guys more in the Southwest they can be made LEGIT for higher speed desert running, but they can remain a good street vehicle and still retain real 4WD (with low-range). Overall, it's actually a really cool platform...

    Your Camping Tables Recommendations...

    I've been reasonably happy with this: but it looks like maybe it's out of production or something? The main cross bars that you snap in across the length of the table like to pop back out if you move the table around at all, which is annoying. But overall it packs down small and as silly as...

    Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7 2003

    Super cool rig. Do you find it annoying having the fridge/freezer up that high? Maybe I missed it, but it seems like you left a very specific notch out in the drawer system, what is that for? Finally, I always want to find out from folks with anex rooms, how often do you find you actually use...

    I’m between a New Rebel or an older Raptor

    Brand new vs. a used vehicle that is especially known for being abused by owners. I'm not sure it's even a question... -TJ

    Another WJ 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee DDable/Weekenderlander (slow project)

    Gotcha... makes sense. I've been very pleased with all of my stuff from IRO, glad you have been too. We're going to need a WJ club on here soon! ;) -TJ

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    Super cool truck, a bad arse old-school is worth the pain of the MPG. Have you considered adding modern EFI to help out some? The newer systems are getting so good, and there are several (including Holley) that make kits that replace the carb and are self-learning/tuning? FWIW, the tires on...
