@Wolvee, you should try wheeling in Europe, then you'll know pain. It currently costs me $150 USD to fill my Wrangler's tank with diesel.

LOL. Often get that question, too. I think some assume they're mini clothes lines. :blush: Good write up!

LOL! Robert did have some rear axle problems but some friends of his over here got him sorted and mobile again. Mine had just been for a visit to the hand car wash so, yes, looked a tad "show room". I'll chuck some dirt at it later!

@Michael, yes, just got back! Had a great time chatting to Robert, his lovely wife and a couple of friends of their's. We're planning to hook up for some overland trips later this year and next year! Here's Rob:

See you in about an hour, Robert!!

And here it is mounted, just in time to meet @ROBERT OB 33/48 for a coffee as he tours past me on his way back to Holland!

I always have a winch mounted on my vehicles and have never had to use it to recover myself, yet. I like the Warn winches and twice now have purchased a used one for many of the reasons you mention above. I thing the 8000 I have now cost me about $500 here in the UK and it runs like a charm.

The Rigids are good. I have one of their Duallys as a rear flood light.

#0467 arrived today and is on the JK. Many thanks, @michael

That looks brilliant, well done!!

I've built a small expedition trailer but my preference is to wheel without one. The trailer is really only used when I have my wife and son with as suddenly the "must have withs" increase dramatically. So for me, if you going alone I'd probably go with a good side roof-rack and a spare wheel...

Thanks mate. What's a "drive-in"?

Not heard of that method myself, Robert.

Oh yes, well worth having if you travel through the bush or green lanes.

Looking forward to watching this one. Got a pic of the whole trailer? Make sure you stick some 33s on there!! :blush:

Cheers Shane! Yes, there are always plenty of them on the auction sites and they're very reasonable compared with buying new commercially produced ones and often better quality, too.

Are you thinking rack mounted or replacing your headlights?

Nice to see another JK on board and looking good! Here's mine:

This is what they looked like when I bought them. http://4wdx.com/?attachment_id=1403
