    Hard wire winch controls in Jeep?

    I haven't used one or know anyone who has one, but I've seen a good tutorial on how to install a home made one on youtube. It doesn't look that hard, and depending on what kind of switches you have to use it could look interesting. If I remember right, you need a two way toggle switch for...

    Kill it With Fire

    A camper mod to a JKU, made by a company in France. It's called the "Beevouac." That thing is huge... because who needs departure angles, right?

    FYI on Aftermarket parts for Connecticut Jeepers, in case you didn't know......

    As stated, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act isn't new at all. All this sounds like is that dealers in Connecticut are now required to tell you about the MM Act when they sell you the vehicle. That won't stop them from trying to blame any little defect on any aftermarket part you've installed, no...

    Pull Pal

    I'd add the Australian outback, Alaska and the Canadian Territories to the list too. Maybe a few other places where people wheel in predominantly sandy or boggy areas too. It's still a short list of places they might be useful. Aspenkid, I'm planning to get a land anchor of some sort, but...

    Winch question: Warn VR vs M Series?

    That was certainly true about 20 years ago when they supported the Camel Trophy competitions, but my personal opinion is that they've really gone down hill since then (which is much the same story with Land Rover too). Part of that is just because they don't seem to have been as innovative as...

    Jeep Testing Spy Shots

    I noticed this photo gallery posted over at Autoevolution that they claim to be spy shots of the new JL being tested somewhere in the southwestern desert: http://www.autoevolution.com/news/new-2018-jeep-wrangler-spied-testing-in-the-desert-will-grow-in-length-99641.html Honestly, I have my...

    Kill it With Fire

    What in the hell is this nonsense! I mean, it's clearly a photoshop, but why would you give them ideas...?

    Kill it With Fire

    Just saw this abomination on facebook: I don't know what's worse: the giant scoop that ruined the AEV heat reduction hood, or the stupid grille. Somebody actually managed to make something that looks worse than a neanderthal grille... this thing makes the Jeep look like a Tapir! And...

    Traildash2?

    I just spotted this video on YouTube. Looks like Superchips just announced they are going to make a second, improved version of their Traildash: They have a page up on their website too: http://superchips.com/td2/ A few interesting things I noticed: - It has a larger, 5" touch...

    Fire Extinguishers....where and how is yours mounted?

    I'm interested in what mount you got too. That looks perfect. I'm thinking about mounting two: once either beside the driver's seat like the pic, or mounted to the centre bars on an aftermarket roll cage (when I ever get one) so that both the driver and passenger can reach it. The other...

    I'm not quite sure what to make of this... it's called a Mobed. Basically a "roof top" tent for a motorcycle. They say that it's stable to sleep in as long as you have a centre stand, but I dunno. At least it will be hard for anyone to steal your bike in the night if you're on it. Maybe...

    Nice! After riding around in a Jeepney popemobile when he visited the Philippines, I guess he wanted to go full Jeep. I can't say I blame him... I've ridden in a few Jeepneys when I visited Manila... they're a very rough ride on pavement! Incidentally, the first of the white, open topped...

    Warn Zeon 10-S vs. Warn 9.5CTI-S

    I had debated between these two winches as well. The 9.5CTI-s has a faster line speed and a thermal indicator (IIRC, it's just a red light on the remote that warns you when it gets close to overheating). The Zeon 10-s has lower performance but it also has a lower amp draw on your battery. The...

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    If you have a track and / or waypoints saved as a .kml or .kmz file, most good GPS apps will let you open and display that data on top of the map. It's really handy, especially if the trail isn't marked on the map. I've done it in both apps I've used. If you check the Youtube channels of...

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    Backcountry Navigator and GPS Essentials are two good ones I've used. They're both android apps.

    I saw this posted on Facebook: If the store had paged me, I'd have politely mentioned to them that the douchebag is double parked and suggest he move instead, even if he wasn't yelling like an idiot. How hard is it to park between the damn lines? Sounds like the police officer was being...

    Here's a pic I found that I thought was really interesting: (Source is U.S. Navy National Museum of Naval Aviation, photo No. 1986.056.001.291) It's a Jeep that the US Navy took with them to Antarctica during Operation Highjump, taken in 1947. Since it's safe to say Jeeps would have made...

    Let's all show off our summer style!

    I went topless and doorless on 16 May, though with it dropping down below zero it wasn't the best idea. Way too cold, lol. I'd have waited if it I didn't make plans with a friend to help me put the hard top in storage. Soft top is on now, but I'm waiting for it to be above 20° before I take...
