    First Time Overlanding in Colorado

    There are a lot of cool places to go but in Dec it will depend on snow fall.

    Scout build (diesel)

    Nice Scout, I hope you and your wife will have a lot of good times and memories in it. Do you have any plans to put a turbo on the 7.3?

    US West Frontrunner LED Light Bar

    $120 to ship a light bar? I shipped a Warn XD9000i cheaper than that. How did you pay for it? Maybe they can get your money back for you.

    Tongue to Axle Dimensions - What's yours

    Another thing about having a short tongue is it will jack knife so fast when you're backing up it you won't believe it, when it jack knifes you can and probably will tear up the trailer or tow vehicle. I would rather have an extra foot or two of trailer tongue over a short "handy" one. It will...

    Ham radio?

    You didn't mention what bands you were looking for or what you need/want to do with your radio so here's my $0.0. If you're looking for 2M only it's hard to beat a Yeasu FT-2900R, I see them for $125-140 a lot. The 2900 is a 75 watt, 2M radio that pretty much bullet proof, it's got a 10 channel...

    What do YOU consider "capable"?

    To me capability in a vehicle means one that will take me where I want to go and back safely.

    Looking for a Jeep Shop

    Do you need a posi rebuilt, do you mean a whole new differential or just new gears. I'n my experience you don't need a Jeep shop you just need a shop that does lots of quality work on differentials. I also think a good shop that works on lots of different stuff will be cheaper than one that...

    Old Vehicles.

    I remember swapping a turbocharged Corvair engine and transaxle in a bug with a buddy of mine. It was pretty fast for a bug.

    Old Vehicles.

    That's cool! Me too, starting with the 200 HP Porsche engine in the back to get it moving. Although it probably has a 36 or 40 HP engine in it.

    Jeep tires and rims on the trailer

    I understand it was just one more option.

    Jeep tires and rims on the trailer

    Or just go to a wheel with the correct hub diameter and offset.

    Jeep tires and rims on the trailer

    I'm having a hard time understanding what you're talking about any chance you can shoot a pic so I can understand better?

    Jeep tires and rims on the trailer

    If changing the drum pushes the wheel out too far what wouldn't adding a hub adapter do the same thing? Swapping the drum shouldn't change anything as the 5 and 6 lug should be the same thickness, all you're changing is the number of lugs.

    Jeep tires and rims on the trailer

    When I built my trailer and ordered the axle, I ordered the drums with the lug pattern (5 on 5 1/2) I needed to match my Willys. It's been nice to have 4 extra spare tires (one in the Willys ad the 3 on the trailer) when I'm out on the middle of nowhere. Have you looked to see of you can just...

    To Trailer or Not

    If it was me I'd take the trailer and enjoy being able to set up camp then go exploring in the Jeep without having to break down camp every time you go out.
