    Gazelle Tents

    This could have come in handy tonight as I walked the T4 through the house from the garage to the backyard for a backyard camp with my 3 year old. Hit the wall with the end and put a nice dent in the sheet rock. Whoops.

    1999 Jeep XJ

    I did the same set up as @Downs mentioned. Same leaf springs, could, and shocks. I did go with the .75” (3/4”) spacer in the coils though. The results are pictured above somewhere. I don’t think I even have 1000 miles yet on this set up because i have a company car, but so far so good.

    Well apparently we frequent the same forums and I just saw your post on the Cherokee forum too. That place is a wealth of knowledge

    Building a Classic: 91 Jeep XJ Cherokee

    I got an XJ about a year ago with the same intentions. I was back and forth on the suspension, but the lack of funds argument won out. I ended up doing the “Upcountry” suspension with simply the heavy duty stock suspension, and ZJ coils. This gave about a 1.5 inch lift over stock. If money...

    Which roof top storage bins?

    I’ve had zero issues with the Plano boxes you have mentioned above. No water, dust, or dirt issues. Some folks have used a rubber /foam stripping in the lip of the lid to make that much more protected. I’ll eventually do it too Edit: I have the 1919 , with the latches on both sides. Not the 1819

    Recovery Bag Recommendations

    Do you have a table top review of this duffel bag? Where can I read reviews? Does it have YKK zippers? What denier fabric is it? Does have super duper coating on it? Is it UPF 100? Is it quadruple stitched? Does it smell of lilacs? .... kidding. I’m right there with ya. Mines in a duffle bag...

    Gazelle Tents

    Haha yea. I don’t remember if it was eBay that sent me a direct email about the promotion, or if it was through slickdeals.net. That’s also how I bought all my suspension parts for my XJ back around New Years. Saved 20% off my total cart amount through various venders/sellers.

    Gazelle Tents

    I got my T4 off eBay (new) when they eBay did a 20 or 25% off anything sale. They do them randomly throughout the year. A lot of stores and companies sell their products on sites like eBay and Amazon for more exposure and sales.

    Good Tembo Tusk Skottle alternative?

    There have been several DIY threads using this and the Southwest Disk discada. Some guys have done some pretty cool things as far as how they did the legs and the heat source. Definitely a cheaper, and still very useful, alternative

    Gazelle Tents

    Yea, ease of use is exactly why I went with it. Especially with the intent to use it with my two little ones as well. It’s a pain putting together my pole tents when it’s just me, I can’t imagine doing it with little ones running around. I am curious to see how well the bag holds up overtime ...

    Best Ground Sleeping Pad

    I've seen TONS of great reviews on this pad, but have yet to purchase one myself. Although I used my REI member 20% off coupon on something else I NEEDED, I'm slightly kicking myself for not ponying up for this pad. It will likely be what I use the 20% off on in fall though, if they keep with...

    Gazelle Tents

    Have you used the ground ground tarp yet under it? I thought the size was longer and wider than 7ft. I think its 90+ inches almost 8 ft. Thanks

    Yea I read about the feature, but didn’t really think much of it... until I was thankful for it after tracking in a ton of dirt.
