    Dual battery maintainer with ‘smart’ isolator and daily driving.

    Hello, after much overthought the last year on how to set up a dual battery setup in my 09 JKU I stumbled across a fantastic deal on a pair of brand new Odyssey G34 PC1500s and a Genesis JK dual battery setup. For those that dislike this setup due to the price that is not a factor here to say...

    M101A3 modifications

    Hello, I’ve been using my M101a3 for a couple years now in ‘original’ format. I have been very impressed with how it has worked despite its weight and size. I use this trailer being towed by my ‘09 JKU for a variety of utility tasks, from picking up rock, dirt, gravel and other yard materials...

    Wheel adapters

    I am having a hard time bringing myself to install a 3500 lb axle on my m101a3. Seems common place to install a narrower axle then add wheel spacer to clear the hub. So what are the thoughts of using a 5200 lb axle to get the larger brakes and spindle in a 6 lug version and use adapters to get...

    CVT Mt. Mazama trailer tent

    Tongue length calculation/formula?

    Does anyone know a formula or some sort of calculation to find the optimal tongue length? I see several builds or adv production trailers with extended tongues. I am building a m101A3 to follow behind my JKU. I have zero off road experience with this combo but can say in stock form this...

    JK tire carriers- Tera-flex vs AEV?

    So the time has come where I want something different. I currently have a Poison Spider bumper w/ tire carrier. I originally really liked this setup as it was completely separate from the body and uses a door type latch so it isn't too difficult to release. I like the all bumper mounting for...

    09 JKU + supercharger vs '12+ JKU

    I currently have an 09 JKU Rubicon (see signature below) with 82k now. I have enjoyed owning it and got a good deal when I purchased it so I am not making any hasty decisions. I have a couple of complaints though, 3.8 provides little power/economy and I am not impressed with the transmission at...

    Awning for the lightweight

    Anyone put together an awning using something like Kelty's Noah's tarp: http://www.rei.com/product/808940/kelty-noahs-tarp-12-x-12 I have very little intention in purchasing a product such as ARB's awning (but if I do that is what I would purchase) for a couple reasons: 1) I don't want to have...

    iPhone vs Droid for gps/navigation purposes

    The time has come where my Blackberry wont even make it through a single phone call. Have been trying to wait for the iPhone5 but am now rethinking the decision. For phone quality and ease of use I have been leaning toward the iPhone but I am really interested in using it for mapping and...

    XJ-Keeping the stock flares

    I have noticed quite a bit of interest in swapping out the stock flares for aftermarket, larger cutout flares to accommodate larger tires and provide coverage. I would like to share the possibility of retaining the stock flares with up to a 35" tire yet still provide coverage and clearance...

    deep snow tires

    I am interested in your thoughts about tires for deep snow. Snow varying from a foot of powder to very deep packed drifts with a crust of ice on top. Many of my ventures are early season w/ powder and packed powder while my favorite exploration lies in the spring crawling through trails...
