Personally, I would go right to the 5.38:1 if you are running the 42RLE automatic. Mine is my daily driver and can't imagine anything less with the 3.8l engine, 35" tires and the automatic. Mike. On edit, the last guy's I did he was going to run 5.13's and I had him drive mine. He then had...

To start the season off, my wife and I headed to Capitol Reef for a few days in early April. Got hit by a late spring snow storm while staying in Torrey, UT. Took the Cathedral Valley drive one day. Here is a short youtube video of our Capitol Reef trip...

Thanks for the feedback Greg. My wheels are the same and throw crap everywhere. I am going to go with the Teraflex sliders but I am waffling over the front mudflaps, just worrying about catching them coming off a rock or ledge.' Mike.

Greg, now that you have some time/miles on a couple of items can I ask your input. Are you still glad you put the front mudflaps on? Have they interfered with any obstacles thus far? Have you caught them on anything yet? I ask because if you spill a glass of water and I drive through it...

Too bad you can't special order it with 4.56's or 4.88's. Those seem to be much better choices for 35" tires. I have one guy that I did 4.56:1 gears and his is really happy with them and does not tow anything. Another guy I did 4.88:1 gearing because he has a small Tab camp trailer that he...

My wife and I attended an RV rally in Palo Duro Canyon, just south of Amarillo, back in May. The West Texas Jeepers took us to the Canadian River to wheel and it was actually a pretty cool area. A little bit of everything. I have a few pictures on my build thread and a youtube video on my...

The Jeeps looking and turnin' our great Greg. As for the TPMS, I just set mine to zero. No more dinging when aired down off-road. That drove me batty, and I am half way there to begin with.:rofl: Mike.

It was a busy weekend getting ready for winter. Friday night I winterized the fresh water system on our coach. Saturday I changed the oil, oil filter and coolant filter then pressure washed the under-carriage before putting her to bed for a few months. I put the hardtop on the Jeep a few...

The wife and I joined the FMCA 4-Wheelers about a year ago but because we are still working full-time we have not been able to attend an actual rally until last week. It was our first rally and it was awesome. Met some great people and wheeled in some beautiful areas. The rally was the annual...

A couple of weeks ago I finished up the installation of our new residential refrigerator in our coach. Our Norcold RLIM1200 had not given us a seconds problems in this coach until both July and August's trips so I yanked it out and replaced it with a new Samsung 18 cubic foot bottom freezer...

Quick little job tonight while waiting for a guy to come by the shop and pickup my OBA system that I posted up for sale last night. This part broke last week while my wife and I were in Ouray, CO wheeling. Can you guess what it is??? Started with a piece of .625" 6061 aluminum. Part...

Greg, I am using the Viair 400C. Look at the ratings of compressors because many will tout their CFM ratings but they also are @ 0 PSI when they advertise. This is misleading because as the pressure increases the CFM decreases. I encourage you to look at the specifications around the 20-40...

Well there is something to be said about taking two steps forward and one step back.:confused: About two years ago I was looking for a hardmounted compressor idea for my Jeep. I had a portable Viair in my previous two Jeeps and it worked flawlessly other than a pain to dig out after each trail...

Great job Greg. I was in your neck of the woods last week. We made our annual trip to Ouray, CO and I was surprised at how warm it was. It was near 100 when we stopped in Green River, UT to grab some melons and didn't cool down much by the time we reached Montrose or Ouray. Definitely the...

Pictures from last week's annual trip to Ouray, CO. Top of Corkscrew Gulch. Top of California Gulch. We drove the Alpine Loop one day and this was taken on top of Cinnamon Pass on the way back. Saw this little guy sunnin' himself and just watching us drive by. A Yellow Bellied Marmot...

When we were in Ouray, CO last week going over California and Corkscrew Gulches there was a hellacious rain storm hit. There were three side-by-sides sitting out in the middle of the trail and the occupants were huddled under a tree trying to stay dry. We stopped to see if they needed anything...

Fantastic job. Looks great. Mike.

Unless it was the last thing on your mind, the rail was loaded in the trailer and you were getting ready to leave. Then is flat sucked. Luckily that only happened once, but it still sucked climbing over everything in the trailer trying not to scratch anything and working my way to the back of...

That would be a fair assessment. My son and I debate back and forth about building a buggy. Something I would be less upset about if I got a scratch in it, but my end result is I would still have to trailer it to the trail so I would be in the same dilemna. Currently I occassionally haul my...

Sorry to hear that. Our prayers go out to your wife and your family. Mike.
