This may be near impossible to track down at this point but in case anyone has any ideas... The issue is Traction Control turning off after 30-90 seconds while in 2WD on smooth roads. It started happening after an overlanding trip which involved splattered thick dense mud and a water fording...

A situation arose which made me wonder exactly what the JL pulling capacity is. I'm not talking about towing. That's well documented. I'm talking about recovery capacity. As in dropping into 4WD LOW with F&R lockers and pulling all you can. It occurred to me during this recovery that I don't...

Someone didn't realize that when you take the "dry" out of "dry lake bed" you end up with... lake bed. Where the lake is below the ground surface. Deep slick peanut butter glue that dries as hard as cement. By the time the ground dries enough to get a recovery vehicle anywhere near it, they'll...

I've been debating if I should open up the hood vents on my JLR. I'm now definitely opening them up. I doubt it will make any difference while driving (as other forum members have tested) but it would definitely help prevent what happened to me on my last excursion. I was driving in the SE Utah...

On my last excursion the front fender liner blew out into my tire and got really chewed up. Seems like I have all the fasteners intact (although a good part of the liner is missing now). The whole liner inverted itself right into the tire. I had to push what was left of it back into its original...

First of all, I'm posting this as an overlanding suspension lift thread (there isn't enough of them). So if your JL isn't packed to the gills and flirting with GVWR, your experience isn't going to be very helpful here. Starting point is a stock '21 JLR 2-door. The purpose of my lift is going...

Is it just me or does anyone else get driven crazy by vendors when you're looking for JL mods? You think you found just the right thing, then discover deep in the fine print that it only fits the JLU and not the JL like it prominently says in bold everywhere else. Makes me want to strangle them...

For those of you who have made a DIY overlanding drawer storage system, how are you securing your base? If I slide out a fridge or kitchen platform the base has to be well secured. I'm not sure how I'd do that. I also switch between a summer overlanding config and a winter rear seat config. So...

I'm looking for a good wax for off-road & winter elements, primarily winter at this point. Obviously a wax will only go so far to protect the paint, I wouldn't expect a wax to make pinstriping a thing of the past. No need to suggest wrapping the Jeep in 3M film. (you animals! :)) What I'm...

I think I know the answer but want to confirm. If you have a 2nd set of wheels/tires for a JL, will the JL's TPMS automatically sense a complete swap of the TPMS sensors, similar to how it would sense a location change in a tire rotation?

When I outfit my stock 2dr JLR with overlanding gear, I get a little more rear squat than I'd like. It's difficult to lighten up as the heaviest items are recovery gear, water and food. All mandatory for the unpopulated desert terrain I'm in. I don't have an extensive drawer and cabinet setup...

The Rhino Rack HiLift Jack Mount has a tab with a hole to secure the jack with a padlock. But what lock can actually fit in there? None of my padlocks fit. Anyone have this rack and found a padlock that fits?

So my wife is infamous for being impatient and often grabs the door handle before I do. Of course, she does not want to carry her "gigantic" key fob so there is only a fob on the driver side when she touches the passenger door handle. This seems to mess up the Proximity Keyless Entry. I can see...

I'm thinking about what sort of toolbox to keep in my JLR for emergency off-road/overlanding use in unpopulated areas. Trying to find that sweet spot between small as possible and useful as possible. In case I'm overlooking something, what tools/parts/etc do you bring with you off-road? I'm...

I've got a '21 JL Rubicon 2dr and I'm looking at the Maximus-3 rack. I'm not sure how to get it to fit my needs. I have a hard top and don't plan on removing it, freedom panels off are good enough for me. In the summer I need a cargo rack for camping/overlanding which I'm sure the adaptable...
