    Expo White?

    There is no such thing as "expedition white". It comes from purchasing a vehicle with the cheapest paint possible (i.e. white of whatever flavour that manufacturer uses).

    Recomend an Android based tablet

    Kindle runs an Amazon forked version of Android. The Google Play store is not available on Kindle fire... Maybe if rooted. For device longevity stick with mainstream, well supported devices. My short list is Asus, Nexus, Samsung (in any order).

    JKU as a family overland vehicle

    Well, I can relate to the draw of an open top... personally I'd keep the 100 and get a TJ or Miata or something for bombing around town.

    JKU as a family overland vehicle

    I gotta ask, why would you get rid of a UZJ100 to get into a JK?

    Oil weight... Should I be worried?

    Give us the highlights of your test? Fe, Cu, Mg, Zinc? Service usage? Gravel roads or 100% pavement? Filtration? Was this even in a Jeep 4.0? Vintage? Mileage? You didn't say. My data is primitive. When pulling Mobil 1 at 3000-5000 miles on my 2001 XJ it visibly looks terrible compared to...

    Instead of writing logical fallacies share your method and data.

    1996 Jeep XJ "Betty" Build Thread

    Pretty cool story. Is it painted flat black or does it just need some elbow grease to bring the paint back?

    Oil weight... Should I be worried?

    I've heard good things about Rotella also. Supposed to have more Zinc and be better for older engines but potentially hard on cat converters. Anyone able to speak to that?

    Oil weight... Should I be worried?

    I wouldn't push the 4.0 out to 6000 mile changes. It is is an old tractor engine with some high tech doodads added to it. It needs to be changed more regularly. After 3000 miles the oil is pitch black on these engines. I realize that nowadays colour is not that great an indicator but I'd still...

    Thinking about getting a LC or LX470 or maybe the LR3

    A 2010 would be a 200 series.

    Big Red XJ starting the "Overland" build

    Is Ardbeg still a place to go? I thought it was yahoo central? I have been out of the loop though.

    2005 Rubicon LJ

    I watched the video on the product page for the joints. They look like a good product, I may replace the JJs I have in the long arms on my rig. Return to centre... Not certain how important that is. The typical forces involved are much larger than a return to center force that the joints would...

    AWESOME NEW STEREO FOR JEEP TJ/LJ

    Nowadays, the way things are going you are better off with a tablet on a mount talking to a head unit. The tablet can be changed at will then and the head unit is just an interface to the audio back end effectively.
