I considered the Mopar brake controller, but I don't like that it replaces the dashboard 12v outlet. I was so impressed with the RedArc Elite controller on my JK that I decided to get another one for my JT. Installation is straightforward, and the tiny size of the knob means you have a choice...

If you want to go fast, get the Mojave. If you want to go slowly or at medium speeds, get the Rubicon. If you're concerned that the Rubicon's springs are too soft, add a set of Airlift or Firestone airbags. You can't get the diesel with the Mojave. Or the 4:1 transfer case. Or the...

I don't have experience with them, but I would venture that the Kanati Armor Hog ATX would serve you even better if you're looking for puncture resistance.

Where I've found a small tank useful is for seating a blown bead. Other than that, you're right that a small tank doesn't add much value.

All diesels get 3.73, but the motor doesn't care until you go to 40" tires. Mine still cruises down the highway on 37's in 8th gear pulling a 19' travel trailer. The frame has some minor reinforcements and the steering knuckles are iron instead of aluminum. The ECU reduces power in the lower...

I hope that BFG will start sizing the new tires correctly; they're some of the most under-sized tires on the market. If you want a 35 you have to buy a 37. The other disappointment with the KO2 was the big drop in tread depth compared to its predecessor the KO. The KO had some of the deepest...

Getting on the waiting list will only up your level of enthusiasm! Ask me how I know.... ?

Part of the problem with offering factory "lift kits" or just producing a vehicle with too-tall a center of gravity is all the lawsuits that will be launched and all the bad press by sensationalist media outlets like Consumer Reports over the increased likelihood of rollover accidents. The...

Building a new one as in a new trailer from scratch? I'm anxious to hear more of your thoughts about the OP2 and your future plans.

As far as I can tell that seems to be within the JKU's conservative 3500lbs tow rating, right? Perhaps with stock gearing and a heat-generating automatic transmission there might be more to worry about, but with a manual transmission and 5.13 gears I have no reason to be concerned.

I've also put my deposit down. I'm looking forward to what changes are made with the new composite design, but certainly having a larger water tank as well as internal batteries is a worthy improvement. I'm hoping the future air suspension works out too, as there are plenty of times I will...

Fantastic! Thank you - I will keep you in mind.

Thanks Vince, I saw that one because I have Marketplace alerts set up. If the price was right, it would be worth the drive down to Bakersfield or L.A. to pick it up. Obviously I'd like to give my fellow ExPo members a chance to make a sale if they have one of these to sell.

Yeah, shipping would be expensive, so I'd prefer to be able to pick up in person. I'm located in Northern California.

I know that they haven't been produced for many years now, but if anyone happens to have a Warn PowerPlant Winch (9.5k or 12k) in good shape, I'd be interested in purchasing it.
