    That's what like to hear lol those Rubicons are crazy capable stock. Small lift and 35ish inch tires and I'll be good to go. I'm a full time aircraft mechanic with the airforce reserves at Grissom ARB north of kokomo. I'll be switching to the Utah air guard to work the same jets out there

    Hello from another Hoosier! Sorry to hear about the basset, but congrats on the twins! We loved the San Juan's, such a beautiful area and we can't wait to go back too.

    For now I prefer the old vehicles, they still have a charm that new vehicles don't. Sure it might break down more often but fixes are almost always easy and always cheap. Big believer in that your vehicle will take care of you just as well as you take care of it. In the case of a disco, just...

    True Trac vs Open Diff

    I have a trutrac in my rear axle on the XJ. Don't notice it on the roads other than snow, which is helpful. Its great off road, did 6500mi trip including lot of trails it was much better than open. Worth the money.

Domo had enough room on this trip and I think we over packed, so now knowing what we do and don't need on a long trip like this i...
