Looking at how stuffed the tires are in the wheel wells, I would prioritize a suspension and steering overhaul. I'm willing to bet it's never been done in that Jeeps life. If you're wanting to stay mostly stock, go with the Upcountry spec suspension parts. It will gain you about 1 inch over...

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DldlFKjG87Y Had to throw a new idler pulley at the XJ this morning.

"Field deployment" (2nd time) of the YJRV.

Why not just switch to a propane single burner? Or one of those fold up dual burners from Jet Boil or Coleman. You already carry 5lbs of propane with you. Why add another fuel you have to find/store/carry. Availability for me would be a big turn-off. You're wanting to go "more off grid" but...

For stock or stockish sized tires, the HF compressor works just fine. If you have larger than stock tires it'lls till work just take longer. It does have a small donut shaped filter under the grey cover on the end, so make sure you service it everyonce in a while. I actually put some foam...

Not today but this week. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

Day before yesterday I swapped the rear springs on the YJ. Nearly 30 years of wear and unknown number of miles with an automatic locker in theback had taken it's toll. They had a slight "S" shape towards the frame end mount and when loaded with camping gear had a negative arch. These should...

I should have checked your location before commenting, lol. Makes a lot more sense now.

How do you deal with crossing state lines with a SBS? Or is one of those birdhead/pistol grip "firearms".

I've also always used Colemans and Magellan branded stuff. Still do, other than a jetboil to make ramen or coffee, though thinking of going to a jetboil 2 burner or some other higher end unit. Don't get me wrong the Colemans and Magellans have always worked for me but the heat/flame control...

G19 with Fed HST 124grn Old Winchester Model 1200 that's been cut down to 18.5 inches with a tube extension. Nothing fancy here. Tube full of buckshot, sidesadle velcro "shotgun card" with 5 slugs. Then 2 more cards in my personal bag one with buckshot, one with slugs. Sometimes I'll bring...

My parts got delayed a day and arrived late, so I didn't get around to wrapping up the 01TJ transmission into 95YJ swap until today. Of course, my rear springs came in after I closed up the shop for the day. So that will be next week project. But it's in, it drives and 5th gear works with no...

pulled the transmission for replacement. Parts will be here tomorrow.

I've worked for the federal government via the military, and I currently work for local government in a decently sized city in the DFW metroplex. Both were/are lucky to be able to get out of their own way to even figure out a budget. Anywho I'm done with that portion of discussion. We're on...

Parts supply situation is crap for most of the reasons mentioned in this thread. Thankfully, my mid 90s Jeeps are still fairly easy to get parts for, you just might not have a selection of brands and have to tough it out with a substandard part sometimes. Another nutso thing going on, at...

I'm headed for Arkansas for 4 days or so. Got a couple cans of SPAM in the packup. Goign to have to do some SPAM, eggs, and rice for breakfast one morning. Maybe some kind of SPAM recipie for dinner one night too.

Oh, I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with gov doing things to get more control. But when your last run-on sentence is tying the discussion of EV we were having into a tin foil hat paranoia spout off about COVID you've lost me and proven, to me, that most likely any further...
