Interesting point of view. With the purpose of providing a different point of view and not to be disrespectful, I found it to be almost the opposite of your description. I started in Monticello and joined my group at the trailhead, and ended up in Moab without ever giving fuel a thought--I...

Home-made back-up alarm siren? External CB speaker?

Were did you get this decal? I like it.

Since this doesn't appear to limited to JLs, this is my favorite off-road picture taken on Sledgehammer trail. My JL picture is tame in comparison. Taken at Funny Rocks near Naches, WA.

BLUF: Yes I have a mix of components from different companies. Some are more expensive and some are cheaper, some are higher quality and some less. MetalCloak customer support was excellent every time I contacted them, the items have held up well, fit well, and the price was fair.

Years ago I moved to Arkansas with a new Dodge 2500 8.0L/V10 and I noticed the locals would wave at me with their pinky finger. I couldn't figure out if I was being insulted or they liked my truck. I'm a little slow but I eventually figured out it's common there for pickup drivers to wave to...

I don't believe in waving to someone just because they have a similar vehicle or sharing cheap plastic toys. Yet a while back a small kid came up to me at the gas station to offer me a duck and I declined. The look on his face made me feel like a tool, and from then on I always smile and say...

If you download the 5th edition of the owner's manual, the addendum will be included. The most useful item for me is the decal on the fuel cover as I can never remember what's the biodiesel limit, and this can easily be replaced by a self-made label. As for proof, the service invoice states the...

For two people or you couldn't hold a job? ;)

A good summary of popular 4x4 areas in the WA & OR areas: https://www.pnw4wda.org/trails/washington/ For Elbe Hills ORV, and other WA state DNR maps: https://www.dnr.wa.gov/go/#trail_maps For the Elbe Hills direct link: https://www.dnr.wa.gov/geo/elbehills.pdf?pkoi3f Depending on your...

In the Portland area, Brown's Camp/Tillamook is your best bet for actual trails needing 4 Low. The area around Mt Rainier also has a lot of good trails (e.g. Elbe Hills, Evans Creek, Naches), but most popular trails are probably closed for the winter season. Tahuya is small but can be...

I can't answer Jeep Jamboree questions specifically, but I can address wheeling with a stock Wrangler. Your XR is much more capable than typical 4x4s, including slightly modified TJs and FJ Cruisers (for comparison). It will go places that will amaze you once you get over your fear of scratching...

I lost mine on the highway when the Jeep was still stock. Repaired under warranty, but not before the dealer tried accusing me of going "off-road" and/or swapping bigger tires back to OEM tires for the warranty service. He got an earful from me. Other cases...

I got it (and use it) for back-up to my cell phone navigation apps. The vehicle's GPS antenna reception is much better than my phone's reception. Regardless of how good the downloaded maps are, they're not any better than paper maps without GPS reception. It is possible to add an external GPS...

No, I didn't unmarry it. The instructions don't say that is a required step.

I'd use the owner's manual to verify the wire colors. There is no guarantee that someone else's wire colors are the same for your model. Look in the section: Getting to Know Your Vehicle/Interior Storage and Equipment/Auxiliary Switches - If Equipped.

Oh, oh...here it goes again. Get ready for I love the Hi-Lift, it sucks, paper weight, it's priceless, never used it, saved my bacon, your dumb, I'm smart.... :facepalm: Ok, I guess I should contribute something: aesthetically speaking, the side mount is my least favorite location. I also worry...

I vote kah.mun.rah get banned.

You should specify the exact kit you bought for more specific suggestions. Also, what is the planned purpose of the kit? Just airing up the tires, or also for airing down, air locker operations, air tools? All of this makes a difference. For example, just airing up tires means you will only...
