    Improved MPG with steeper gears.

    On my first tank post lift, but when I swapped the axles out, I got em loaded with 4.88's. Also, 37" bfg km2's. I know the tires aren't true to size, but after plugging it all into the ProCal, my fuel economy seems to have gone up! I'm getting more than 1 mpg better than where I was. It also...

    Anyone with an Expedition One Trail front bumper....

    ...and hopefully the Rubi skid too? I'm going to be putting this on my 2015 JKUR soon and need to relocate the Vacuum pump. The Evo kit looks good, but uses the same attachment points needed for the Rubi skid, and the skid itself will prohibit its use cause pump interferes with plate. The E1...

    Like it says. I'm building my jeep out for overlanding....the off roading aspects being of a very mixed use nature. Up here in NE, the trails are everything from roots, rocks to mud and water (there's half a great Marley song there...:) I have the Clayton long arms and cross brace going in soon...

    How much weight is TOO much weight?

    So, of the people running fully built out Jeeps...unlimited in particular, once armor, racks, extra batteries, fridges, bumpers, RTTs etc are added, what are the running weights of your rigs? Over 3 tonnes? What issues, other than fuel economy are you noticing? Do your vehicles still perform as...

    Thinking about an RTT.

    Pretty much think I'm looking at the Baroud Explorer Evo they just updated for 2015: http://ok4wd.com/james-baroud-explorer-evolution-rooftop-tent I like the window layout and the ability to pack a bit on the top...I don't want too much weight up high, but the option is nice. Anyone have any...

    Why no Camel Trophy/G4 type events for Jeeps?

    ...or even for any 4x4, expedition based events here in America(s)? Have there been any attempted? Is it just logistics and coordination between states and counties etc? I know there's desert ralleys and such, but I'm talking sustained, more or less self or vehichle supported point A to point B...

    BFG TA/KO2 sizing and release dates...

    Not sure if already posted, but think I'll ride out the stockers on the JKUR I just ordered 2 days ago and try these out when my size is released. Unusual suprise size of a 34/10.5/17 to be released in March. More clearance with the 3.5" lift, lower cg, less weight Hmmmm... Will probably still...
