    Expo JKUR & $125K...?

    There's no such thing as a place you don't need to carry. There's only places you're not legally allowed to carry. I'd take the ferry as well.

    Split the Jeep thread in two: one for Rock Crawlers and another for Expeditioning

    Jeez, "it's like playing cars with my sister's kids." Y'all sound like some old ladies complaining about needle point vs cross stitch, LOL! If you like someone's advice take it, if not don't. If someone's being an idiot ignore them. This thread just wasted 5 min of my life I can't get back...

    AEV Brute Double Cab

    That thing is dead sexy. If it had a Cummins I might have to sell off one of my cuter kids in Mexico or somewhere to scrounge up the funds.

    What is wrong with this picture? - warning, possibly offensive content

    He needs a massive winch to add some weight to the front? Looks like someone's getting out to have some fun.

    First Gun - what shot gun

    Knoxx makes a few different types of stocks and pistol grips for the 870 that have recoil suppression in them. You can also get a cheaper 870 clone like the Pardner Pump or Norinco 982. IMO they're sturdier than the Express (all metal) and upgrade the pieces you'd like for cheaper. Base...

    Full Size (LARGE) Family Adventure Rig - Selection Question

    I also have 4 kids (ages 1-9). Two kids in the Jeep TJ was fine. Three was doable with the extra seat belt I added. Four just doesn't work. I'm torn between a 2012 Rubi Wrangler w/ the Pentastar and a 3rd row, and a 89-91 3/4 ton Suburban. The Suburban would be SO much more comfortable...

    Overland TJ's (Ideas, Pic's, etc for 97-06 Jeep TJ's)

    Plenty of room for a family of 4. This is an old pic, but it's my roof rack with those plastic footlockers you can get at Academy. We fit a week's worth of food, water and camping equipment up top. Inside we had sleeping bags and other goodies. You just need to go slower since you're a...

    Upgrading the jeeps rear dif

    I'd search around on breaking D35 axles. It's pretty common with a locker unless you have upgraded shafts (e.g. Super 35) or Superior C-Clip eliminators. When you do break a D35c axle there's nothing holding the axle in and it starts sliding out of the housing. Not saying it can't be done if...

    Ditto, had no drama at all on mine.

    trying to fit 32 or 33

    2" Budget boost (coil spacers) 1" Body lift + move fan shroud 1" or 2" Budget boost (coil spacers) 1" Body lift + 1" Motor mount lift Done. I have the second option and run 33 x 10.5s, disconnected sway bar, and no rubbing. When I had 33 x 12.5 I rubbed slightly at full turn when my...

    33 x 10.50 x 15 on Expo Jeeps?

    I run 33 x 10.5s BFG ATs on my TJ. I used to run 33 x 12.5 Savero MTs. The difference in daily "driveability" and commuting is night and day (as well as the decrease in noise). Off road it hasn't seemed to make a difference at all since I hate/avoid deep soupy mud. Switching has been all...

    SOLD - 2001 Ford Excursion 7.3 Diesel, Expedition Ready!

    Man, you weren't supposed to sell it until I was ready to buy it! LOL! I had 2 more kids in the last 2 years and just bought a new house, otherwise I'd be in Arizona picking this up from you already. Good luck with the sale. That thing is awesome! Someone is going to love it.

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    Ladder I like the half ladder, but with another section folded up on itself. Basically some sort of hinge at the bottom so you could fold the ladder down lower, maybe even with a flat step towards the bottom. These posts are cool and all, but I'm losing my mind waiting for all this to be in...

    From a TJ to a LJ?

    Forgot the pic Forgot the pic If you take your time and aren't rock crawling really hard trails the extra weight up top if fine. You just have to recognize it's there and be a little more cautious. I'm not going to tackle anything 4+ with the kids on a camping trip anyway.

    From a TJ to a LJ?

    Here's my TJ loaded out with room for 4 inside. Picture is several years old; I don't usually take pics of it loaded. Only pillows, snack, etc in the cab. There's a weeks worth of supplies, recovery gear, cooking items, water, a tent, air mattresses, queen size fold-out mattress platform...

    Overland/Camping Vehicle for Family of 6

    We are in the same boat with our 4 kids. We have a Suburban and a Jeep TJ and are trying to figure it all out. We're gonna try towing the Jeep behind the Suburban for the long highway miles til we get to the Park/Campground/etc., filling it up like a trailer. Then when we start off-road...

    That thing sucks. If they would just drop it off at my house I'd get rid of it for them for free.:D

    Hello Everyone Newb starting out.

    Yep, mine did. The BB's are basically 4 rubber spacers with shocks. You can usually get just the rubber spacers used on JeepForum or locally for $50, then add some shocks to it. Skyjacker Hydros are good and comfy, and you can get them very reasonably. *every once in a while there are sales...
