Is there a formula to find the proper tire pressure for aftermarket tires? Over the years, I've been given different advice. For example, I owned a '95 Chevy with 35-inch Mud Terrains years ago. One tire shop advised me to maintain the factory pressure listed on the door, even with aftermarket...

Lately, due to our current situation, I have been driving less. The Jeep comes out about every two weeks or so. In order to keep the battery conditioned, I installed a modular solar system. What methods do you use to extend the life of your battery? Solar, battery tender, Solar battery tender...

What is everyones thoughts on upgrading their rigs to full aluminum or insulated lines? My truck is 25 years old and as far as I know the radiator is OEM. I'm worried that the high rpms that come from wheeling will degrade my engine without proper cooling...Thoughts?

I’ve heard it said many-a-time that if you mix conventional with synthetic you will have problems. In fact, multiple instructors of mine at Universal Techinal Institute shared this theory. Me personally, I just didn’t think that one oil would act as a caustic agent to the other and break it...

now that I've had time to work some of the kinks out of my rig, I figure it's time to make a build thread. This isn't my first subaru build, but decided to go auto with this one. Having the auto tranny has helped considerably allow my small, under torque engine get me over hills and obstacles...

I know many of you have mounting points for your hi-lift on a bumper, basket, rack, etc. Do you keep your jack mounted there all the time, or take it down when you're not overlanding? How do you keep it clean, and how often do you lube it up?
