I bought a set of at ko's for street use and have a set of tsl sx's I was planning on using just for moab. After taking the ko's to Moab the first time I now have a REALLY hard time justifying swapping tires for the trip. I worry about the side wall a little, but as for sticking to slickrock I...

the auburn ected is another option for selectable lockers. i've only heard from one person who runs one, but he loves his.

I have the same RE lift and 32" tires on my xj. I regeared to 4.56s and haven't regretted it. If I stick to around 65 mph I get 18-19 mpg. That said, my fuel economy drops to about 16 mpg at 75. If you are SURE you're not getting larger tires in the future, and it's mostly for commuting I...

What we need is a graduated license system. If you're a poor driver and just barely pass then you're limited to driving Geo Metros. The more capable you are, the bigger and faster vehicle you're allowed. :) Oh, it would also be good if I had the authority to revoke anyone's license...

I thought about the aquarium one way valve also, but I think what I'm going to do is just put shut off valves on the lines right where they come out of the washer fluid container. I'm getting sick of people telling me I'm leaking.

I'm going to have to pass on this. I need to save all my pennies for Moab trips.

Where in northern Utah is this? I'm in Ogden and interested. Thanks.

We're in. If anyone wants to caravan from Ogden, we could meet at the Peter Skene Ogden sign around 8ish.

when we were in moab, about 2 months ago, our xj was broken into. 3 other jeeps were hit the same night. the chief of police told us that there has been a bunch of break-ins recently, but that they had some good leads and a couple of suspects. he sounded optimistic that within a week or two...

i'd choose something shorter than the 6 inch. i sold mine because i couldn't fit in the garage. if i get another one it will probably be a 4 inch rack. i figure anything i wanted to put up there could be strapped down to 4 inches of rack. plus i like the looks of the shorter ones. also go...

just what the subject says. i'm looking at getting some used and was wondering what everyone thought of them. thanks.

My 97 postal cherokee came with power mirrors and manual everything else.

Vug- Do you have any pictures? I was thinking of doing something similar to free up a little storage space. Thanks.

my neighbor is a cop and what he told me is to just keep your eyes open. he just sits with his radar off until he sees someone speeding who doesn't see him. then he'd flip his gun on. he figures if you are paying enough attention to see him and slow down then he doesn't need to pull you over...

If it gives you an idea of the difficulty expected, Jared isn't taking his Bronco II. He's planning on driving his budget boosted xj. It might have 30" tires on before we leave. A think it wouldn't be bad for a 3 year old. Our guide book rates it difficult, but I took a stock xj through it...
