When I was in the mountains in Colorado I carried (in addition to what you have listed) sterno, a little cooking stove, a space blanket, extra socks, enough food in cans/dried for 4 days, lots and lots (6 gallons) of water, a butane (cheap) lighter, two of those Duraflame logs, extra pair of...

Not to be picky, and I'm probably wrong, but articulation is not a term normally associated with IFS/IRS. If the two sides are joined by a flexible joint (as in an independent suspension setup) they really don't articulate like a solid axle.

Now that was cool!

With the Rubi you can actually start the Jeep while in 4-low in first without the clutch, I don't think you can do that with the other transfer case. I don't think I've ever slipped the clutch in the rocks, only used it for shifting as sometimes reeaallll slooooow is too slow. Best bet is to...

You have to look at overall gear ratio which is the combination of selected transmission gear, transfer case gear ratio, differential ratio and tire diameter. Usually people go to a higher differential reduction (say from 3.21 to 4.88 ) to make up for putting larger tires on which keeps the...

Thanks for this video, it was great!

I don't know about the 3.6, but when I used to get into the Mojave and up into Death Valley in the summer I never had a problem with the 3.8. Never saw temps go above the middle of the gauge though my fan ran constantly. The AC does have a hard time keeping up when it gets above 115° though...

5 minutes after opening - the Railhead up in Fort Worth, mine took me out for some great BBQ :)

If you go on a run with a group there's a good chance they will require you to have one. You can get a handheld 40 channel and not have to mount it. Can run off batteries or 12 volt adapter.

Laughed so hard I still hurt. Great movie reference!!

must add 10 char........

The M18 Milwaukee stuff is what everyone here uses too. Pretty good, no failures that I've seen, the 1/2 and 3/8 get the job done. I'm looking at their drills now. Nice to be able to borrow and lend and have your own batts and chargers

One of these (but a '71) a Demon with a 340 or 360 and a 4-speed. I would convert it to a modern suspension and braked beast. * this pic is a 72, the 71 had the two piece grill I like better

Looks like between 6 and maybe being generous 7 inches of clearance to the skids, probably 5 or so to the low points. I was looking for the crane that set it down on the rocks there :o

Not sure this qualifies, but...

First gear in the 6-speed is 4.46 The 4-speed auto is 2.80 (and you can get a RubiCrawler too) I don't know about the new 5-speed auto

The wavelength of a 27MHz wave is 36 feet (36' 5"). 18' is a half wavelength and why it is a good length. You really want even splits with 1 wavelength best, then halves then quarters. If you have to go down from there 6' is probably as good as 4-1/2, but I would stick to the half and quarter...

Cool, thanks. I just remember bits about them but didn't really know the differences

They use the Dana 60 on 1-ton vehicles, the 80 comes on the heavier duty like the dodge 3500 (though they did put it on the diesel and the v-10 2500 trucks i think) and the Ford f-350/450 I don't know what they call them though (not sure what are 1-ton axles and what heavier duty axles would...

I have a different question about lockers on a JK. When you put an aftermarket locker on, how do you deal with the acronym ninnies (ESP, ABS etc) when the lockers are engaged? I know in mine they get turned off and toned down when the lockers and 4-lo are selected.
