    Jk oil cooler assembly swap

    I don't know that the pics are always representative of the exact part, and sometimes the online parts catalogs have bugs, but your local dealer should definitely be able to determine what is correct and if the newer oil cooler will work on the earlier year.

    Jk oil cooler assembly swap

    The oil filter assembly with cooler shows that it applies to 2011-2017 models so there should be no problem replacing the old unit with the newer one. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-cooler-oil~68092305aa.html

    Rooftop tent question (newbie)

    I did delete my reply since I saw they did address what I was commenting on (doing too many things at once this morning) so my reply was a bit useless. In any event, glad you're asking questions and doing the research. A lot of folks don't and then wonder why they have problems with weight...

    Satellite Communications Thread and/or advice?

    This would be better if posted in https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/forums/overland-communications.65/ I have a Zoleo and my wife has an inReach Mini (1st gen), they provide similar functionality but go about it differently. I prefer my Zoleo due to better battery life, though the unit is...

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    A lot of people really like them, my main complaint is their noise. Not sure how well they're going to wear yet, but compared to the Wildpeak A/T3W I ran previously the Wildpeaks were a better all-around tire.

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    Buuuut those would add resistance, not help. Like I said, I'm not bottoming out. See. No clean, clear witness marks showing the bump stop is contacting the pad on the frame. My 265/70R17s aren't LTs and they ride well at 30-32psi even off-road. I do air down if I'm going to be traveling...

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    17" with 265/70R17 tires that I run between 32-35PSI most of the time.

    OB Watches

    I still love it and have never found myself wishing I still had an Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch. Excellent battery life, great functionality, etc. The one thing I might change, and it's a simple setting change, is when the backlight is triggered. Right now I have it so the backlight is only...

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    I'm not new to towing (have had multiple HD diesel pickups and various trailers), definitely not undersprung, not wanting Caddy boat smooth, not hitting the bump stops (The bumps in question aren't big enough to cause full compression of the suspension anyway). Think riding a hardtail bicycle...

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    Yup, most of the roads are similarly crappy here in Illinois. That's my plan with the RS9000s as well, figure out which settings work best on-road and off, with and without the trailer, and hopefully end up with a more well-rounded ride. I haven't spoken to Deaver directly, but this leaf...

    HAM/GMRS

    As with many things ham, this can be a hot topic when it comes to "can" vs "should" and you may get some heat from the black-and-white ham purists. No judgement from me (that would be hypocritical anyway ;) ), my thought on this specific mod and use is something like this... For the majority...

    Rear suspension battle - Ride quality while towing trailer on crappy highways, etc. Time for better matched shocks?

    While it's pretty much impossible to have a Goldilocks setup that is great for all use, I have to do something about the on-road ride while towing our trailer. The main issue is expansion joints and other "sharp" bumps in the road that basically turns my rear suspension into solid metal sticks...

    Tool Bag / Roll Gallery

    So, for some time now I'd just been loading whatever tools I though I'd need into a canvas tool bag, but I got tired of that and wanted to have a dedicated set of tools for my truck/trailer. I went relatively cheap and bought the 3-bag bundle from Official Tool Roll and so far have only filled...

    I sent you a PM with my email address. Thanks! You can access the messages section from the 3-line/hamburger menu at the top right of the app.

    KOAR tickets in the UP of MI

    Are they day passes or camping? Camping is currently sold out and I've never been to KOAR or that area so I don't know what issues I might run into trying to find off-site camping nearby, so if those are camping tickets that would be amazing. Assuming you still have them available.

    HAM/GMRS

    It's that selfish/entitled attitude that is going to be the end of us as a society and planet, people not caring about anyone or anything but themselves and what they want right now. Not sure how we got to this point, but society needs a serious course correction ASAP as we're quickly...

    The iPhone 14 lineup will offer satellite connectivity!

    Globalstar already has, or claims to have, full coverage of Alaska for SPOT devices. That's why the spotty coverage, no pun intented, for the iPhone is odd. Must be some sort of technical limitation on the iPhone side with how it communicates...

    HAM/GMRS

    I think that (highlighted above) is the key, people that operate modified radios on frequencies outside their approved bands don't stand out as being problematic. I don't think anyone would even know if someone were on a GMRS radio or modified ham radio on GMRS frequencies as long as they...
